I’ve been working with leather since 2000, I spent 4 years in the family shoe repair shop outside of Aberdeen Proving Grounds, so that’s where I learned how to polish boots and clean leather.I have many kinks and quirks, love my canes, riding crops, floggers, and knives… other than that, I have many interests ranging from the Renaissance Faire, to reading, knitting, crocheting, cooking, to Gardening, to Medicine. My life is a chaotic mess, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Ms. Olympus Leather 2003

I’ve been in service now for more than 10 years, the last blessed nine being in service to Sir. Although my first label is slave, the term pig is more suitable to my range of fun from formal service to outlandish bottoming to topping and willingness to try new stuff. Open and forward, willing to share both the good and bad experiences, I’m either a breath of fresh air, or quickly identified as headstrong
The name says it all, I am a pig, about boots especially. I fell in love with it years ago at Folsom event watching bootdog work, and it took off from there. I was the house bootblack for the Padlock in Phoenix, and have spent many an event evening keepin’ the boots and leathers looking good. Favorite boots? Sir’s Wesco Highliners, but I also adore his cowboy boots.
I have been most fortunate on my leather path to be chosen for leadership positions such as Ms. Olympus Leather 2003, a former President of the Phoenix Boys of Leather, the Coordinator for Southwest Bootblack for well, forever, and now this year as a member of the Executive Committee. I have been further graced with opportunities to teach at events across the country, including becoming parts of families at some of these events. Tribal Fire – Oklahoma City, WOOLF Leather Camp -Wichita, Folsom Fringe, TESfest, Great Lakes Leather, and SouthPlains Leather Fest. It was my great honor to receive the Rocky Mountain Region Pantheon Award this year, along with Lauren, and to be receive the SWLC Leatherwoman’s Heart Award in 2008. I continue to describe my life as “charmed”. I would not trade it for anything.
These days, I work, teach (professionally and leather), make cheese, plant gardens, bootblack, play hard and dream of a small sustainable farm that Sir and I share on our path of right living with presence and focus .

While living in San Francisco Blast was birthed into Mama’s Family, was the resident bootblack at the San Francisco Eagle, served as an officer and webmaster for the former San Francisco Leather Forum and co-chaired the committee that eventually brought about the merger of the San Francisco Leather Forum and the Inter-Club Fund.
