Twisted Toyland 2011

On Saturday December 17, SIR Alan and I helped alongside our club brothers and sisters of Panther L/L, at Twisted Toyland.  Twisted Toyland is a local event here (see below for history) that happens every December to benefit the Atlanta Community Foodbank.  They have TONS of BDSM vendors along with raffle prizes and great demos.  Plus its just a heck of a lot of fun.  SIR Alan certainly left his fair share of bite marks and bruises on willing recipients, and we also got asked to do a Dirty Santa scene on stage LOL.  All in all we had so much fun and I am already looking forward to next year.  If you’re ever in Atlanta in early December be sure to check it out for sure.

For ten years the metro-Atlanta alternative lifestyle community has helped raise money for those less fortunate at Twisted Toyland. The giving tradition continued this past weekend as a record total of 503 people enjoyed the Twisted Toyland™ festivities at the Jungle Club. That included the 67 volunteers, chili makers and sweet treat bakers and 20 merchants with their 38 staff workers.   

 

This year the Atlanta Community Food Bank is the recipient of the $3500 net profit raised from admission, food sales, raffle tickets and the Erotic Candy Cane Contest. 

 

The Atlanta Community Food Bank currently distributes nearly two million pounds of food and other donated grocery items each month to more than 700 nonprofit partner agencies in 38 counties in Metro Atlanta and North Georgia. The Food Bank also operates several community projects to aid childrens education, community building, technical assistance and advocacy efforts. For every dollar spent, 94 cents (including the value of all donated food) goes directly to services in the community. 

Twisted Toyland™ began in 2001 as Atlanta Fetish Flea Market. by Elegant, slave to Master Archer. It was planned as a small vending event to raise medical funds for bob harris, boy of Papa Doug Harris (founder of the now defunct Sanctuary Atlanta). Boy bob died of AIDS before the event but funds raised from the 75 shoppers were put towards his medical expenses. Twisted Toyland has grown each year and various charitable organizations and individuals have benefited from the event.

   

Plans for Twisted Toyland™ 2012 are already underway.

Busy weekend but SO much fun.

This past weekend was certainly a busy one, but damn it was a lot of fun.  Friday night was our monthly barnight for our Leather/Levi Club, Panther L/L, at the Atlanta Eagle.  It was great to spend the evening with our club brothers and friends.

Then Saturday marked the 5 year anniversary for SIR Alan and I.  We spent the day relaxing at home with slave scott and our friend Thomas of LeatherHorseGear (http://www.leatherhorsegear.com/).  Then that night it was time for us to head to the local dungeon space, 1763, for our friend LizzyBrat's Bikers for Babies fundraiser to benefit the March of Dimes.  She shared a very personal story about how one of her daughters was born premature and the MoD helped her out when she needed it.  The event brought the fundraising totals to over $3700 so far and still climbing. 


Congrats Lizzy - We are proud of you!

 Many local groups/vendors/businesses contributed items to the auctions and Raffles including:

Southeast Leatherfest

Xanny

Sir Nicholas/slave nic

DominaDea & Fetclinic

Shadowdragon
Geek72

Atlanta S/m Solidarity

Lee David

Mistress Ayn

Ms. Martha

and lots more.

Then on Sunday SIR Alan and I were off to a photoshoot with a local photographer who wanted to do some shots with us at a local abandoned warehouse.  Unfortunately the Atlanta Police Department broke up our shoot not long after we started LOL.  They were really nice about the whole thing, but they did make us leave.  So we came back home and did some shots under the bridge near our place.  Had a HELL of a lot of fun.  Can't wait to take some more shots with Brent for sure!

Had so much fun shooting these pics - Can't wait to do some more.  Perfect end to a GREAT weekend. 

Now it is time to get ready for our monthly Panther L/L business meeting.

Hearing From the Heart Atlanta

Tonight Sir Alan, slave scott, and myself went to the Jungle Club in Atlanta, GA to join some wonderful people for a great fundraising event.  Boy Dustin, who spoke publicly tonight about being a recipiant of assistance from the Sharon St. Cyr foundation, organized this amazing event and helped raise over $2,300.00 for the foundation.  Way to pay it forward boy Dustin, very proud of you.
Not only were special guest performances done by entertainers such as Vickie Shaw, but there were also titleholders for miles around.
We had a lot of fun, congratulations again boy Dustin.
