On The Edge: S&M Means Stand and Model ~ Mad Men Cosplay Party @ The Studio
May 30 @ 1:00 AM – 7:00 AM

 

May 29th is President Kennedy’s Birthday! Come join us at The Studio.

The show Mad Men has inspired a lot of folks to be more conscious of the clothes they wear. We are having a fashion night/play party for those that like to play dress up. If you identify as male for the evening wear a suit. If you identify as female: wear vintage dresses or lingerie, stockings, high heels (maybe a corset) and absolutely no pants.

We will be constructing a demonstration scene based on 1950’s/1960’s kinky household play and over the knee spanking. Break out your Grandma’s recipe book and bring a dish to pass (Waldorf salad, anything with spam, triscuit with spray cheese, deviled eggs). We will be playing Dirty Charades and Bondage Twister.

There will be a designated area for Photo Whores and Paparazzi.

Unlike Mad Men, this event is clean and sober, no alcohol, drugs or smoking allowed. This event is open to anyone 18 years or older. IDs with proof of age will be required at door.

$10 Donation and bring a dish to pass.

Asking For What You’re Worth - For Kink & Sexuality Educators
In this panel, we’ll be joined by a few of your favorite experienced kink educators who will share their tips and tricks for negotiating pay.

About this event

Just how much does a kink educator get paid to teach adults about BDSM? Is it an hourly rate? Minimum wage? Or maybe less? Many people are often surprised to find out how pay works in the world of kink education, especially once they calculate just how much it can cost to travel to conventions where they teach. In this panel we’ll be joined by a few of your favorite experienced kink educators who will share their tips and tricks for kink education marketing, negotiation, and budgeting so they’re most likely to have some income (instead of deficit).

Presenter Bio:

Ignixia is an internationally renowned professional kink educator and leather-woman who was the owner and sole-operator of an award-winning leather business where she used her skills as a leatherworker to create the Kinkability toy line, first of its kind fetish gear designed for those with disabilities. As someone who lives with chronic pain, along with her partner, she uses her experiences to help others with chronic pain through classes designed to make daily life and kink easier to manage.

Over the past 5 years she’s shared that passion by teaching at over 50 major kink conferences. When not traveling to teach at kink conventions, she used to volunteer 2 days per week at her local dungeon as a DM and educator. Locally she has also been a founding member and Co-Chair of NLA-Orlando, Co-Founder of WiLO (Women in Leather Orlando), Co-Creator of CFL Littles, and a supporter of WinK (Women in Kink), Dominant’s Roundtable, and multiple under 35 groups.

In addition to donating products to multiple events’ charity funds, she is the creator of over 100 kink/fetish based designs including #KinkyCoexist and dozens of “Pride” Facebook profile frames used by thousands around the world. Her latest endeavor has been the creation and management of Kink Positive, a project designed to promote kink and sex positive thinking through education by joining efforts with other educators, vendors, and events to maximize reach.
