Master Mark, Fetlife: Dom_Mark2 (he/him). He is a Poly, Master, Daddy, Partner, Leatherman, Switch. His journey in this lifestyle began in 1998. Graduated from the Dallas Submissive Mentors Program in 2013. He served a local Fem/Dom from 2007 to 2013, and began his journey as a Leatherman in 2014. Leathermen have it right, being on both sides of the slashes has made me a better Dominate. Currently the Vice President of the Leather Heart Clan, and have been a member since 2015. Co-leader of Worthless Bastard Cigar Club, and leadership team for Whips in the Woods. Recently, he was presented his cover by the leather community. He has taught classes at the local dungeons with his current baby, SnowbabyK. Together they have taught/led classes/discussions on Cigars, Cigar Service, Extreme Cigar Play, and Primal Impact Play. They enjoy impact play, with whips, canes, rough body play, and all things taboo. Master Mark loves to sit in sand, smoke cigars, drink Scotch, and tell lies with his friends.
Primal with a Twist
The Power Exchange between two partners that exist when on neutral ground. The acceptance that neither one will lower themselves, and no more Fucks are given to the other with full transparency and honest emotions. Pushing and stretching their boundaries together, switching between being the hunter and the prey testing the lines between pleasure and pain.”
Wrestling and grappling on the mats is fun, however, there is more to Primal than just that type of play.
See Primal energy in play that isn’t what most think of when they hear Primal.
The Twist, in this type of play, is the impact that both experiences are the great equalizer. If relationships and partners are equal, how does “The Play” become no top, no bottom, focused on connection, and energy/power exchange.
Little’s Play Space
Calling all Little’s, Middle’s, Pet’s, and their Caregiver’s to enjoy others or just relax. SnowbabyK would like to provide a portable swing, parachute, balls, and arts and crafts for all to enjoy. If one would like to bring a blankie, pillows, stuffies, or sippy cups for comfort please do so. We can’t provide personal non porous objects due to Covid. We will have sanitizer and disinfectants for the swing, parachute, and balls to wash after use to keep Covid friendly. Can’t wait to see all the sweet and bratty ones out there.
Alice Miller aka GrownA__Woman
Alice is a poly, queer, sadistic Leatherwoman from Dallas, Texas. She has been active in the Dallas community since 2016.

Building Your Kinky Character Sheet
You know you’re an expert flogger, or perhaps tea service is your jam; but have you considered how your own unique mixture of background, experiences, and personality traits are part of what you have to offer? Have you ever thought about how these combine with our values, skills, and life obligations to form our kink identity? In this class, we will use the paradigm of the character sheet to help us take a look at how the elements of our personal foundation inform our availability as a partner and community member.

Master Todd
Proudly hailing from Austin, Texas, Master Todd has been active in the BDSM community since 2004 and discovered Leather along the way. Growing up in an environment that made him constantly aware that his proclivities are different, he is a fan of sharp pointy things and medical play. A self-described relationship nihilist who is always open to possibility, his latest incarnation finds him in service to his Master, Miss Velvet Steele. He is honored to have served as the 2013 Southwest Master and currently serves as the Director of MAsT: Leander and the Assistant Regional Director for the Southwest Region.
Switch and Bitch
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: you’re not really a switch, you just haven’t figured out what you really are yet. Perhaps instead you were told, “you’re not really a switch, you just haven’t met the right Dom yet.” Maybe you’ve never heard this because you’ve been reluctant to identify as a switch because you’re sure that somehow you’ll lose all your cred as badass top/bottom. Whatever your path in being a switch is like, you’ve likely encountered the looks and judgements that come with not fitting neatly into the little boxes that we as kinky folk love to label.
Join Master Todd for an interactive discussion of what it means to be a switch, the challenges of identifying as a switch, and other fun topics we uncover along the way.
Speculums, Sounds, and Scalpels, Oh My! Infiltrating the Mind and Body with Medical Play
Not just playing doctor in the dungeon, medical play encompasses a wide array of play styles, toys, and activities. Medical play is much more than violating existing (or freshly made) orifices, and when done correctly, it offers a way to deepen the intimate connection that occurs when we exchange power. In this presentation, Master Todd will discuss a variety of play ideas. Class will conclude (time permitting) with a cutting demonstration to satisfy your, and his, bloodlust.
