A kinky, sexy party for Women in Vancouver

Bride of Pride is a BDSM/sex playparty for kinky women* into queer,
woman-to-woman BDSM. Dress in whatever makes you feel good, bring your
toys and your playpartners, and come join us! We encourage costumes
and flights of fancy, but we won’t turn you away if you’re not in
fetishwear! Just for fun, we’ll have a few special theme areas, like
puppy play, and ageplay and more!

TICKETS ON SALE JULY 4th! Tickets will be $15 in advance, or $20 at
the door.

**Who’s Invited:

All past, present and future women (of any taxonomic category) who
enjoy woman-to-woman kink and BDSM are welcome.

When we say past, present and future women, we mean:

Homo, hetero, bi, transwomen, newcomers and women whose leathers are
older than Beyonce: all welcome. Locals and visitors alike; all
welcome. All ages (of legal adult), all cultures, all colours, all
ability levels; welcome! Transguys who feel themselves part of, and
comfortable in, the women’s community are welcome.

I’m gettin’ all AWOL. I’ll be unreachable by email, telephone, or in person, from Feb28 – March 7th. For those who need geek help, elaine (at) techdonkey (dot) com will be monitored by a helper. See you in a week.

I’m being joe-jobbed, otherwise known as “sporgery”, wherein some bastard has filled my email address in as a reply-to on about a godzillion spam messages that have gone out.

To be clear, I’m not sending any of these messages, and they’re not coming from my server, and I have no control over these spam messages.

(In a real-world analogy, it’s like a guy in Milwaukee is writing my Vancouver return address on a postcard and then mailing it. The returned mail comes to me because that’s the way the system is set up, not because it came from my city.)

Sorry to all the folks who are getting sporged on. And no, I can’t make it stop.

Catherine White Holman

Catherine White Holman

A Memorial for
Catherine White Holman
(April 18, 1954 — November 29, 2009)
In the form of an IrishJewishPagan Wake

Please join us in mourning Catherine’s death — by primarily celebrating her life — on Wednesday, Dec 9, at the WISE Hall. Memorial begins at dusk (4:30pm). At 5:30pm we’ll have a candlelight procession to bring Catherine into the hall.

For the rest of the night, there will be live music both sprightly and sad, singing, dancing, revelry, and many chances to share our memories, our sadness, and our joy. Guests are encouraged to come and eat, drink, and be scandalous. Catherine always loved a party. She also loved to be celebrated and she brought joy into so many of our lives. Help us to make her last party an event to remember.

All ages, all welcome. Dress your best. We’ll have tables full of tasty food, and a cash bar.

Donations are welcome to the Catherine White Holman Memorial Fund, and we’ll have a donation jar for those who feel they can contribute. Donations are possible in other ways. For information: donate@sdholman.com

If you have any questions, or wish to volunteer to help in some way, please email memorial@sdholman.com.

What’s Leather Got to Do With It? Leather Fetish, Sex and Soul
Spoken Word Participatory Lecture
Friday, Oct 2nd, 2009

The world of BDSM often speaks of Leather as an identity, or as shorthand for our passions, but what about leather itself? The hides of animals, our second skins, this material that once lived and breathed has inspired erotic explorers for generations… why? From tools of pain and pleasure to the wide varieties of clothing that wrap around our form and conform to our shape with time- we will examine our tough exteriors to find how leather fetish has inspired leather sex, and in turn, leather soul, identity and spirit… and the term “Leather Community” itself. Bring at least one piece of leather with you- be it a piece of your earned leathers if you come from that tradition, your favorite flogger, a tight pair of gloves, your favorite boots, your old friend of a belt, or something else to inspire yourself or others as part of this conversation towards understanding leather as more than a raw material.

Anyone got one of these kicking around, that I can borrow for a day? Mine got stolen on either the second or the third time my shed got broken into last year. (insert eyeroll here)
(The nifty compact kind don’t work on my tiny wee scooter wheels.)
