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!
