They now reside in Western New York State where they have recently started a local Master/slave group. Slave ziggy has a lifelong passion for assisting others in the discovery and actualization of one's slave heart. His other passions include Leather history, traditions, the art of formal service, and the practice of ethical slavery.

Slave ziggy believes that we are the creators of our desires. This pertains not only to the journey of the slave but also extends itself to our community as well.
"If you can dream it, believe it, it can be done, begin it now."

Tallyslave- Kyrana
Over the last ten years Kyrana has experienced the complexities of a seven-year live-in Dominant/submissive relationship as well as parallel service relationships with people in diverse aspects of the lifestyle giving her a broad perspective and in-depth experience of the issues faced by people on different sides of the community. This has proved invaluable in her ability to provide insight in service and educational environments. As a third-generation horse trainer and wild animal trainer she has had the unique privilege of extensive education in the behavior mechanics of both humans and animals.

Emcee-Gabrielle Antolovich
Gabrielle Antolovich found the leather scene in Los Angeles in 1984 as a dominant, and a clean and sober dyke. She joined Leather and Lace and Threshold. She became Ms Southern California Leather in 1989 as a gesture of thanks to the community that nurtured and supported her. She then became IMsL 1990 to continue her thanks across America and Canada to become an ambassador to unite leather women and men (an issue at that time in our history). She also conducted workshops for newcomers, telling them that being new or falling in love/lust was no reason to do what others wanted or take orders from them. She emphasized that our Top/bottom, Dominant/submissive, Master/Mistress/slave or whatever space was a gift we give freely/consensually to each other.

Gabrielle now lives in the Bay Area, belongs to The Exiles, smOdyssey, SCCLA, and is involved in Venus' Playground and NWLC committees doing PR, Emceeing, clean-up and whatever is needed.

Judges' Boy- Mikey
In April of 2004 Mikey found the bdsm community and discovered that it gave context and meaning to his personality and demeanor. His boyish energy and enthusiasm in service often prompts friends to describe him as "masculine in a cuddly sort of way." For Mikey, service to the community is a way to give back to the community and express gratitude for the time and energy that his mentors and friends have invested in him.
