SgoL President's Message

The past two months have been rocking for the SgoL!
In August, we kicked off our Toiletry Drive - which will conclude Thanksgiving Day Weekend at the Seattle Daddy/Daddy's boy contest. We've been so fortunate to have the support of the community, including the stores that have been carrying our donation buckets and collecting toiletries. Thanks so much to Wild at Heart, The Crypt, Lover's Lair, The Wild Rose, Trendy Wendy, Dog House Leathers, and the CSPC. We are so excited to be able to provide much needed supplies to the women and children benefited by the local Salvation Army.
Our very own Ruin ran for and earned the title of Northwest Community Bootblack! Ruin will do a great job representing not only the bootblacking community, but the Leathergirl community as well.
In October, SgoL held a painting party at the Longhouse - site of the annual Paradise conference. Earlier this year, a special cabin for Allena Gabosch (Executive Director of the Center for Sex Positive Culture) was built and it needed to be painted before the Autumn weather moved in! Mare and I set up muffins and coffee for the girls and, despite the drizzle, we prepped for painting. We had a moment of thankfulness for everyone who had made the cabin project a reality and took all the love and energy into our work in taping and painting. All the girls who participated wrote messages of love and prosperity directly onto the walls of the cabin. Special Shout-Outs to Ruin for her vision, to Nirav for the opportunity to have SgoL be of service to the community, to George for all of his guidance and assistance in making the project happen and to Mare for being an awesome project manager.
October 29th at the CSPC, SgoL hosted a fantastic Halloween Party - the "All Hallow's Eve Masquerade of Decadence". The event was a smashing success! 150 people joined us in an evening of fun and decadence. We had a spread of food, costume contest, DJ's playing great music, a spanking booth, a professional photographer, At times there were people lined up out the door and there were often people lined up to play in the Raw Space. We couldn't have been happier. Mare did an amazing job with setting the stage and having a vision for the decorations. The set-up and tear-down crews worked swiftly and joyfully. Special thanks for Lady Vi for running the spanking booth, and GirlonFire, Seven, Passion, and Bea for all their hard work, SgoL's share of the door went to the Washington State Ms. Leather travel fund.
In November, SgoL hosted the Friday night hospitality suite at Leather Reign. It was a tremendous success and TinyDancer's tasty creations were a huge hit! SgoL was also able to continue the toiletry drive at the host hotel - what a perfect place to get travel size toiletries! Special thanks to Marfim, Miss Momma Kat, Mare, and Becca for their service and to Miranda for taking the lead and coordinating.
SgoL has contributed an auction basket for the auction fundraiser for the Foundation for Sex Positive Culture and I'm looking forward to attending the event on November 19.
Thanksgiving Weekend, SgoL will be of service at the Seattle Daddy/Daddy's boy contest.
On December 3, SgoL will be participating at Hot Flash Inferno. We will be having a raffle, Lady Vi will be back with the spanking booth, and generally bringing a hot Leathergirl presence to this all-women's dance.
And, on the heels of the success of the Halloween party, SgoL was invited to host the CSPC New Year's Eve Party. We are so excited about this opportunity. Special thanks to GirlonFire and Marfim for being the coordinators. We are looking forward to having a fantastic send off for the year and hope that we'll see all of you there!
In just a few short months, SgoL has really made the Leathergirl presence known in the Seattle area. I am constantly impressed with the ideas, energy, and enthusiasm that SgoL members (and their Master's, Daddies, Tops, Sirs, Mistresses, boys, girls, partners) bring to each and every event.
Girls Rock!

SgoL Painting Party
10/19/11 22:28 Filed in: Events
One of the SgoL girls brought to the Steering Committee a need to have one of the cabins at the Longhouse painted -- it was a no-brainer that we had to get this done before the serious weather of Autumn moved in! Not only was this a direct need for the Center for Sex Positive Culture director Allena, but one for the greater portion of the community at large.
Light drizzle set in on Friday evening as I watched the weather report evolve to forecasted showers for the following afternoon. Deciding to press forward despite the expected afternoon rain was a bit risky, but hey; who doesn't like to get a little wet?
Feeling confident we could finish and dry before the rain set in, Saturday morning October 1st at 9:30 a.m. Candace and I set up muffins and fruit with some coffee and juice. We started taping up the windows and cedar trim while we waited for the rest of the girls to arrive.
In no time Marfim showed up. After that, a few more girls, then a few more. An hour in and we were busting open our cans of paint! "Ready to roll!" Before the painting commenced, there was a reflection of thankfulness for all who had a part in seeing this cabin come to fruition and all the love and energy it took to create the space in such a short amount of time. We as a group, carried those thoughts and loving energy straight onto the walls of our project. Overflowing with intent and brandishing sharpie markers, each of us created messages of love and prosperity directly onto the walls of the cabin.
The teamwork and solidarity was unmatched in my experience of painting projects I have ever been apart of. We finished the cabin just before a heavier drizzle set in and the paint dried before the rain came to beat it down.
A special “Thank You” to Ruin for her vision, to Nirav for the opportunity to have SgoL of service to the community and to George for all of his guidance and assistance in making this happen.

It is my absolute honor to have been elected as the first president of The Seattle girls of Leather. I am pleased to announce your 2011-2012 steering committee.

It is such a blessing to see my vision come to fruition. A few months ago I attended IMsL in San Francisco. My Daddy, Spencer (a former IMsL) had not been in awhile & it was my first time. We had an absolute blast and were impressed with how the traditions are being upheld. It felt different than Seattle (where I live now) and different than LA (where I used to live). I felt I was amongst family - strongly bonded Leather family. There was a fierce girl presence that I had never seen or felt before. I had suddenly stumbled across what was missing from my Leather lifestyle & journey - family and girl power.
The San Francisco girls of Leather were everywhere. I wanted to join and come down monthly just to feel this energy. They were alive & freakin' kickin'! When I came home to Seattle & went to my first kink event since IMsL, I was sadly disappointed. I missed that energy that SFgoL brought. I whined to my Daddy and told him again that I really wished we had a Leathergirl group here. He, being the awesome Daddy that he is, said "start one". So I did and 6 months later we have 20 full members and 95 supporters.
Part of what I witnessed at IMsL and what I've felt was missing here at home was a sense of unity. I know for many that term is overused but....it really reflects what I have felt was missing. Everything feels so separated & segregated - especially where gender & sexual orientation are key. There is a gap in the Leather community here in the PNW. Right now the gay men, pansexuals, sex positive, lesbians, and transgender people all play in separate corners. It is my hope that SgoL can can help to create bridges and that the Seattle Leathergirls are welcomed everywhere. And beyond that, by giving girls leadership roles and encouraging them to take lead in projects they are learning first hand what it means to be a Leathergirl.
The Seattle girls rock. Twenty four rsvp'd to the slumber party and all 24 came! We are currently holding a toiletry drive benefiting the Salvation Army Women's program. We were of service the NW LeatherSir, boy and Community Bootblack contest. We are planning on painting Allena's cabin at The Longhouse. We're hosting hospitality Friday night at Leather Reign V. The girls are throwing an "All Hallow's Eve Masquerade of Decadence" on October 29 at The CSPC. SgoL's share of the door will go to the Washington State Ms. Leather travel fund.
There are many other things in the works, and we've only just begun.
I'm very excited to see what the future will hold and to be able to report to you every month on what an amazing group of women are part of SgoL and the amazing things we're doing.

50/50 Fundraiser
06/22/11 17:33
Titles are fun…and a lot of work.
No really, if someone is truly deserving of a title, such as Washington State Miss Leather, they have a lot of work to do during their ‘title year’.
Part of that work is representing Washington State at various events. Another aspect is to raise money for worthwhile organizations, such as the It Gets Better Project and Seattle girls of Leather SgoL. On July 3rd, 2011 Washington State Miss Leather will be hosting a pot-luck/fundraiser and auction.
Proceeds will be split 50/50 between the It Gets Better Project and the SgoL.
Please RSVP here
