The 2016 Arizona Master Slave Contest Judges, Tally Masters, and Assistant

Facebooktwitter

To further support diversity in our community, we do our best to find all different flavors of judges, each bringing something unique to the judging panel. Below are our 2016 judges. We would like to take the opportunity to thank them for supporting the Arizona Master Slave Contest and the Master Slave Community in Arizona.

Our Head Judge for 2016: 

cheryl-beach

Cheryl identifies as a sexually fluid, slave-wired, Leather girl. She stumbled upon the BDSM community in an online forum, and for the first time knew she wasn’t a freak of nature. She ventured into the public scene in 2003, and has never looked back. The BDSM world opened new doors to exploration and authenticity that she never imagined existed. Her path is one of mindful service with a lot of ‘woo’ thrown in for good measure. Since the passing of her owner in late 2014, she has been learning how to navigate the kink world on her own again.

Cheryl is proud to have served as the Arizona slave 2014, past President of Arizona girls of Leather (AZgoL), and past Board member of Phoenix Area Lifestyle Society (PALS). She is also a member of Edgewalkers, Arizona Power Exchange (APEX), the Phoenix Chapter of MAsT, and Women in Leather International. She has served as a volunteer at SWLC and Behind Closed Doors in Tucson, and likes helping out with groups and events even when not officially volunteering.  She enjoys presenting on a variety of M/s topics, and will be presenting for the first time at an International event this fall. When the mood strikes, she can be found on her lifestyle blog at www.submissivecircle.com.

oblivionFather O’Blivion’s interest in the lifestyle started many years ago while growing up on the east coast, and continued once he moved to Michigan in the early 90’s and found like-minded souls on the bulletin board systems that existed in the days before the internet.

Since moving to Arizona in 2005, he has been a member of APEX, Phoenix MAsT and served as a Team Lead for Southwest Leather Conference. He has owned his slave sg_d since 2008 and enjoyed 24/7 owner-property status since 2011. He is a grumpy cantankerous SOB who enjoys bucking the system.

Anniversary Party Keynote Speaker: Master Cecil

Facebooktwitter

anniversary-featuredAs the weekend approaches, we want to give a shout out to our amazing keynote speaker who has come all the way from Orlando to spend our anniversary with us.

 

About Master Cecil:

Master Cecil has been involved in the lifestyle for about 30 years. At 18 years old he was picked up by a submissive and shown that a flogger, properly applied, is a VERY good thing.  Since 2008 he has been living his dream as the lucky owner of, and lead volunteer of The Woodshed in Orlando.

Master Cecil became part of the public community when he attended the 2nd ever Orlando Munch in 1993.

Since December of 2006 he has been joined on his life path by his wonderful submissive, helpmate, and the real brains of the operation, his lovely Darcy. She has supported him and has made his dreams her own for the betterment of the community at large, and particularly Central Florida.

For several years, he owned a company called Dungeon Designs Inc. and ran the circuit of Leather conventions throughout the southeast United States as a vendor and sometime speaker.

The Woodshed is a dream that originated in the mid 90s after his first public play party that was held in a townhouse of about 800 square feet with at least 40 people packed into it.  It was easy for him to ascertain that Orlando was in dire need of a safe place to play.  His dedication to SM education was the other driving force in his desire to open an SM community center, providing the community with a safe place to learn. Thus the dream of The Woodshed gelled in his mind and was refined by conversations with many people over the years and finally became a reality in January of 2008.

He has presented on the local, regional and national level and is now serving the Central Florida community as the owner of The Woodshed.  He also works to make himself available to groups, munches and TNG gatherings throughout Central Florida and to conventions all over the Americas.

Celebrating the Arizona Master Slave Community: The 2016 Arizona Master Slave Contest

Facebooktwitter

The Arizona Master Slave contest is accepting applications!

This contest celebrates the Master/slave dynamic and is a positive outreach to the community at large in an effort to promote, educate and build upon healthy Master and slave relationships. The contest is for couples who self identify as Master and slave or Owner and property, regardless of age, race, religion, gender or sexual orientation. Contestants must be at least 21 years of age and have been in a declared Master and slave  or Owner and property relationship at least one year prior to the date of the contest.

The holders of the Arizona Master and slave 2016 title will be the Arizona State spokespersons for the Master and slave community through 2017. Title holders must have the ability to effectively communicate to the community what it means to live and identify as Master or slave.

It is expected that title holders will actively seek venues to educate the Leather/BDSM community on the Master/slave lifestyle. Presentations should include: speeches, seminars, panel discussions, etc. It is also expected that title holders actively pursue fundraising for the charity of their choice as a way of giving back to the community.

The Arizona Master and slave titles are not about a particular “look,” dress, body type, gender or sexual orientation. There is no required set of protocols the winners are expected to follow. Contestants are not required to have a formal “platform”; however, questions from the judges regarding any specific plans or goals the contestants might have should they win the titles are quite appropriate.

This title contest is an exclusive feeder from Arizona into the Southwest Regional Master and slave Contest held in January, at theSouthwest Leather Conference in Phoenix, AZ.  The Southwest title is one of five feeder titles that compete in the International Master and slave Contest held at South Plains LeatherFest in Dallas, TX.

The 2016 Arizona Master and slave will compete for the Southwest title in January of 2017.  Should this pair win that contest, they will move on to compete at the International contest in March of 2018.  This gives the title holders approximately a year with their title before moving on to the next level of competition.

In addition to their speaking and teaching obligations, the Arizona Master and slave will receive private and group coaching prior to Southwest Leather Conference so they will be at their most polished to represent Arizona.

To learn more about the contest you can visit the Arizona Master Slave Contest Website.
