*Friday March 8th, at Paddles

*Time: 8 PM - 9:45 PM  (doors open 7:45)  
Topic/Demo: " The Training of the Noble Beast." 
Ponyplay, from one Domina's experience. with Lady Chandra and her ponyboy

The Presentation:
For the BDSM player, the realm of ponyplay offers a wide range of satisfying 
experiences, from the dehumanizing objectification that animal role-play 
affords to the lighter side of just plain "horsing around." The human equine, 
having shed all human trappings, becomes raw instinct, a beast to be broken, 
molded and ridden by the Dominant. For the slave, the taking on of the pony 
role can be very freeing, and even nurturing as one leaves the civilized 
human 
world behind. Ponyplay, as odd and playful as it can appear, has the ability 
to 
branch from feeding one's sexual hunger to feeding one's very soul. 

This evening, Lady Chandra and her ponyboy will offer demonstration of the 
various modes of ponyplay: grooming, gait training, handling and riding. The 
design of the horse's tack will be explained in its use for both training and 
fantasy role-play. Also, the Lady will present her personal experience of the 
spiritual D/s dynamic that seems to organically evolve out of her equestrian 
play. 

The Presenter:
Lady Chandra Mors is a lifestyle dominatrix and vampyre with a passion for 
bondage and horseplay. She has shown ponyboys at Leather Retreat, sat as 
a Judge for the Black Rose 2000 Equestrian Extravaganza, been an active 
member of TEC (the Equestrian Club) at TES, and facilitated the Philly ARK 
animal roleplay group. At present, she can be seen regularly haunting Behind 
the Scenes in Philadelphia with her slave and beloved vessel dane, AKA 
ponyboy 
leviathani.

*TOPIC/Demo : "Passionate single tail whips" With Master Eric

The Presentation:
Explore the use of double singletails in a demonstration like movements in 
a musical composition. How to hook into the motherload of personal 
expression, 
and play it like jazz. We'll take some time between phrases for a little 
conversation. These batons conduct a symphony for the most profound 
instrument in any orchestra. 

The Presenter:
Eric the presenter says: "It's rare we do much public play. My style with two 
whips has brought me some amount of quiet international attention over the 
years and what jan and I enjoy most is the private practice of these arts 
including formal dinners and so many invitations and opportunities to 
continue 
the amazing friendships we've been able to develop and keep. I practice whips 
as an art form, as exercise, as meditation, and with a passion."

*Topic/DEMO: "EdgePlay, Fear and Erotic power exchange" with David and Gem

The Presenters:
David identifies as a dominant sadist and has done so for many years. 
With his slave, Gem, he's become more and more deeply involved in edgeplay, 
employing a combination of fear, pain, and control to create an erotic power 
exchange during a scene. 
David and Gem use strangulation, breath control, and most frequently, knife 
play. 
Cutting during the scene has led him to include feeding (on blood) during 
play, 
adding further erotic overtones to the scene. 
He is a member of DSF, runs a munch in Westchester County, NY, 
and is a member of NCSF and The Loft GLBT Center in White Plains, NY. 
Gem is a switch, discovering her dominant side years ago riding rodeo in 
Canada. 
She met David on a trip to New York, where she was to collar a female 
submissive. 
The submissive never showed up, and David collared Gem that weekend. 
Everybody 
tolerates David for Gem's sake, poor thing.

Comment: "The very first caning I ever saw was a highly erotic and proper 
caning of a French lady by Constance at the original Hellfire 20 years ago. 
It was truly breathtaking and started me on my love of the cane. Her annual 
Dressing for Pleasure Balls (I believe she did 10) were the year's biggest 
attraction for the BDSM community attracting attendees from all over the 
world.
A year ago I was privileged to co-host a caning demo with her." Bob H
