Leia sits down with Master Kupcake, founder of New Orleans Girls of Leather. We chat all about invasives,  leather girls, and educating the community. 

Kupkake is a twisted, primal, blood loving, sadomasochistic, Queer Leatherperson. As a Louisiana born southern girl who now resides in Mississippi she has been involved in the kink and Leather communities for over two decades, she began her kink journey in the late 90’s then found and fell in love with the Leather culture she dedicates herself to now.
Although, sometimes described as a heavy Top, she enjoys most things from all sides and has loads of fun thinking up new ways to bring life to the dark fantasies that play around in her head.
She has embraced many labels over the years yet none can fully describe how multifaceted she truly is. In February, 2021, she was honored by receiving her Masters cover. Kupkake is service driven and thoroughly enjoys mentoring and teaching others. She’s been involved and been an educator in an array of alternative lifestyle and spiritual organizations where she finds fulfillment in body ritual and modification with a special place in her heart for flesh hooks. She has led and served in many groups over the years and is currently founder and President of the New Orleans girls of Leather and a few other groups and organizations along the gulf coast.

Books: - Where the Crawdads Sing By Delia Owens, The Red Tent by Anita Diamant, Sadism by L.T. Woodward, MD, The big book of serial killers by Jack Rosewood, Consumed by Matt Shaw, Sick Bastards by Matt Shaw

Join us this week for not ONE but TWO amazing guests on subMERGE! Leia, The Russian and Flying Anvil chat all about Polyamory and how it works for them, others, and how many different ways polyamory can be structured and work for people!

Flying Anvil has been in the kink scene for over 17 years, he's a kinkster, a maker, a voyeur, and a professional napper! 

From Flying Anvil:

I like building and tinkering with classic cars and hotrods. I grew up building hot rods with my family. Rebuilding my dad's 39 Chevy coupe as a kid with him was my first love. Currently I'm building a 1962 Chevy Truck her name is Sugar. I also have a 65 Chevelle drag car that I've sold my soul to obtain.
I also love the old school art that goes with them ie. PINUPS! (Bonus points if you love hotrods and pinup style as much as I do!) , pinstriping, bomber art, and antiques. But of course with my education background I love all kinds of art and architecture!
I'm a huge fan of music as well, although I must admit I can't play a note to save my soul :( I love all kinds across the spectrum of rock, alt, punk, blues, old country, bluegrass, ethnic and cultural music you name it. I guess the only thing I really can't stand is Pop music as a whole. sorry if your a fan :( I find it to be a soulless - for pure profit genre... just my 2 cents anyways...

When not doing all of these things my favorite thing to do is enjoy the company of others. Give me good food, good booze, good friends, and a good fire to sit by and I'm a happy man. A glass of scotch and good cigar wouldn't hurt either! Find him on fet @FlyingAnvil

Leia sits down with Mama Gail, Women's International Leather Legacy title holder to talk all about Route 66 kink weekend, discovering leather community at a young age, and how she finds my voice super sexy! 

Mama Gail (she/her) is based in Tulsa where her love of leather/levi found a place. She is Women’s International Leather Legacy 2018 and passionate about creating #LovingLeatherSpaces wherever she goes. Gail has been leathering and roping and club boarding and presenting and title holding and all the things for a while now. But today she finds herself balancing building a business, empty nesting, ethical and supportive relationships, and generally just writing the next chapter of life.

Mama Gail has won awards, accolades, and even a few haters. She comes with disclaimers. She drops a lot of F-bombs. The honorific of “Mama” was bestowed lovingly by a drunk leatherman at the Eagle and it stuck. She has a snarky streak and her mind is filth. Flags grey-ish on the left.

Special shout outs to all the producers, judges, contestants, handlers and the KC Community for the time, love and support!

(He/Him) Athens is a Queer leatherman who leads a poly Master\slave house hold that focuses on personal growth, exploration, and service. Being born and raised in Kansas city, Athens is passionate about BBQ, Chiefs football, and midwestern hospitality. Athens has been apart of the community at large since 2015 and has found a passion for engaging in his local community, both as a teacher and an erotic instigator. Giving people permission to explore their most deviant sexual desire by coining the term, “Why the F*** Not” and flagging orange left. Often seen in the Dungeon telling dad jokes, goofing off, and being highly energetic, only to be balanced by his sadistic smile and devilishly sinful play. Athens has served his local community and the community at large by serving on boards such as the Kansas City Pride Parade, Consent Kansas City Facilitator, and acting as a leather liaison with the Kansas City Ballroom Community. Athens is also a founding member of the Kansas City Bloodline Leather Family where he served for six years on their Leadership council. Also a member of local groups such as Alternative Humans Sexuality (AHS), Consent Kansas City, Kansas City Ballroom, and Titans of the Midwest.  Athens regularly presents workshops on a wide range of topics that center around edge play and practical application. He is most often sought out to teach workshops on Fire play, unique deprivation, and edge play. Often mixing his classes with hands-on experience, stories, and dad jokes, he leaves his students with a very unique experience that is both engaging and fun. Find him on Fet at Sir_Athens357

Leia sits down with Aaron Barbee in the Leather Masters studio to talk about the history of Leather Masters and the grand reopening of the shop this weekend, July 16th, 2022 in Westport,KCMO, formerly known as EM City. We discuss his journey into kink, leather creativity, and scandalous stories from previous employers! You don't miss this one! www.leathermasters.com

Aaron is originally from central Illinois, where his love for leatherwork started at a very young age. During his college years he was involved in leather/kink scene in Chicago but didn't start to formally craft until just a few years ago.  Having trained at Springfield Leather Company studying leather Aaron has taken the title of Leathersmith due to his extensive knowledge of various leathers. He is familiar with everything from your basic cow and pig leathers to your more exotic sting ray, ostrich and shark type leathers. He moved to Kansas City in Spring of 2021 to join Leather Masters as their Leathersmith and to help owners Stan and Clint with rebirthing Leather Masters from a fresh creative perspective. Since joining the team he has been working to improve the brand as well as create new and exciting custom pieces to add to the already extensive catalog of items.
