a self written bio [old & new info]

Back in January of this year I wrote a little blurb about myself and included it in a mailout to the Libido Events mailing list along with the usual event announcements that went with it. Minus the event announcements here is what I wrote:


I'm a bi sexual, polyamorous switch, who also happens to be an activist for sex positive culture and a single parent to a
school aged child. My plate is full as you can tell. And if you've met me at a workshop, event or party, you know that I'm
loving every minute of what I do. It hasn't always been like this though.

When I started out on my own journey of exploring my sexuality and Vancouver's resources, well, things were different. Vancouver had such limited resources back 6 years ago (7 years now) in terms of kinky parties to play at, workshops to attend to gain information and events where one could go to socialize. And me, well I was a straight, monogamous women
who'd never done any sex games, bondage, spanking or even read any literature ever on improving one's sex life, hell, I had
only seen porn a handful of times. NAIVE, young and filled with trepidation and uncertainty.

Today I run Libido Events and try my hardest to ensure that I offer a program that meets the needs of as many people as possible. Everything that I teach or that is on the calendar is something that I'm passionate about, either for me, or for YOU! My greatest pleasure is truly giving to Vancouver's sex positive communities and I hope that if along the way you don't see something being offered that you've an interest in, please email me and tell me about it so perhaps I can bring that education or event to you here at Libido Events.

Being polyamorous means that I have more than one partner. It is true, I've three partners. I have a wonderful man in my life: Jim is the greatest support to me and the person who I always return to, my anchor. Jim is my primary partner and if you've met us, or even me, you know I call him Daddy. Then there is Allena, my girlfriend whom I've been with for years now, I call her Bella. Finally there's Kara, my girl who is in service to me. I love each of them, differently, but still I love them. In case your wondering, Yes, everyone in my life knows about the others, they also have relationships with other people (aside from me) as well as having relationships where I am not there primary partner.

I try to balance being a Mom, being a good relationship partner to all my partners, meeting my own space needs and of
course running Libido Events and teaching. The path I'm on is fabulous because I've created it for myself and I'm doing
things that are helping to shape me into the woman and activist that I am aspiring to be. At 32 years old I'm still young but I've doing all of this for awhile now and I guess today I felt the need to let you in on a little more about "my
corner of the world." It is good to share who I am because it reminds me of the lessons it took for me to get here. And it
is out of many of these hard learned lessons that technique classes for spanking, bondage and the erotic arts are now at Libido Events and it is because of my hard learned lessons that I offer educational and play opportunities that are safe for all of you so that my mistakes and struggles need not be repeated.




For anyone just joining the mailing list or reading the blog, this entry may well help you understand some what better what is apart of my life and myself. And since this was written in January none of my circumstances have changed any aside from the fact that I'm more in love with each of my three partners and I've got my eye on a new play partner.

And now some new information, to fill in the blanks...

Allena (my Bella)
is the Executive Director of The Wet Spot - Seattle's Sex Positive Commmunity Center and has been since it's opening. Allena lives in Seattle, Wa and was my role model long before she became my bottom and we fell in love. Bella, Jim and I form a poly triad family.

Jim lives in Bellingham WA, half way between his two girls, Allena & I. He is an erotic photographer, rope bondage educator/enthusiast and the best Daddy in the world when he is not busy being a mean Top. Jim teaches often for Libido Events.

Kara, (my girl) is my service bottom and often can be found at my side at workshops, parties and events around the city. Her job: look cute, make my life easier and be subject to my whims. Last weekend her partner S. whisked her away for a romantic weekend getaway, dropped to one knee and proposed to her...she said yes.

time for lunch before I head out to pick my daughter up from school.
