Bawdy Storytelling – the express train that always goes downtown – is approaching its sixth notorious year in San Francisco and Oakland, and we wanna get out and see how the rest of the country does ‘it.’ So we’re launching in new cities everyday… Next stop: New York!

Join the celebrated Dame of the Dirty Dish, Miss Dixie De La Tour (host & curatrix of Bawdy Storytelling) as she teams up for the first time with that infamous ‘SuperNova of Kink,’ Midori! We’re calling this racy evening of storytelling & socializing ‘Bawdy Luxe,’ and for one night only we invite you to rub elbows (& who knows what else?) with NYC’s Perverati in a private Gotham loft with us. Drink, nosh & enjoy pornstars, kinkstars & surprise rockstar guests as they share true stories from their very twisted and sexy, sexy lives. What better way to build sex-positive community than to meet and be inspired by the city’s carnal cohorts?

Bawdy Luxe will take place at a chi-chi Manhattan loft (near Chelsea), and since social connection and community building is at the core of what we do, we’ll allow plenty of time to meet and mingle. But note: we won’t sell tickets at the door,* so get your tickets NOW. And keep an eye out for updates to our storyteller roster – we’re adding new big shots every day.

Tickets (sold only in advance) are $20 at

A sexuality educator, sex-positive activist, and artist, she’s made an improbable career out of being the traveling sexpert. Don’t miss the groundbreaking book “Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage” which first cracked open the mysteries to Westerners, the hot essays in “Wild Side Sex: The Book of Kink” and twisted dark science fiction in “Master Han’s Daughter”. Learn the basics in “Midori’s Expert Guide to Sensual Bondage” DVD. Don’t miss her other classes in your area! (www.FHP-inc.com). You’ll find her adventures, twitters, calendar and more at www.PlanetMidori.com

In addition, she is the co-author (with her wife, Karen) of a ritually correct Leather Passover Seder, Avadim Chayanu (Once We Were Slaves). Laura had edited about a dozen erotic anthologies and appeared in many more. The Marketplace has been acquired by Audible to be produced for the first time as an audio book, and in 2013, her first mystery, The Killer Wore Leather and the 6th Marketplace book, The Inheritor, and the first collection of Marketplace fan fiction, No Safewords, are all slated for release.

Lesbian Sex Mafia presents International Ms. Bootblack KD on “Giving Good Chair”

kd 300 Lesbian Sex Mafia presents International Ms. Bootblack KD on “Giving Good Chair”

You’ve attended a “Bootblacking 101” class, or two. You’ve sat down with your Daddy and learned the basics of a spit shine. You’ve interrogated your bootblack friends about what Huberd’s really is. Or maybe you haven’t done any of these things. Regardless of what you know about the process of bootblacking itself–the technicalities, if you will–this workshop won’t cover any of those things. This workshop will cover the nature of “giving good chair” in three parts: 1. The Basics, 2. Upping the Ante, 3. Fucking Without Sex. Start off by learning how to be attentive and a great conversationalist; move on to engage in sensual physical contact; and leave them wanting more with boot worship.

About K.D.

kd, International Ms Bootblack 2011, is equal parts bootblack to artist. The very nature of leathercare, leather worship, and leather community are all similar and connected to the core of being an artist. kd uses her art as a platform for conversation and education, and similarly uses her bootblacking as a means to support her community, open up dialogues about leather, and get her hands good and dirty. kd is also the creator of SALACIOUS, a queer feminist anti-racist sex magazine, looks to meld high art, stunning visuals, and written erotica.
