About our program:

Take this opportunity to learn from the Northwest Master/slave 2010 titleholders, Liza and her slave Jody, on the thought-provoking topic of training techniques inspired by the animal world. Masters and slaves, and Dominants and submissives will come away with powerful new possibilities. If you don’t think you have an interest in M/s, this class may provide you with some insight into the heat and fun that fuel the dynamic.

Using lessons learned from the animal world and elsewhere, Liza and Jody (and you) will explore ideas for training slaves in M/s relationships. What works, what doesn’t work and what works under certain circumstances? How can Masters get more of what they want from their slaves? What can slaves do to assist their Masters in creating a more satisfying M/s dynamic? The answers to these questions and more will be developed in this class.

About our presenters:

Liza came to power in the late 60s while attending Woodstock and has been kinky ever since. In 2002, she moved to San Francisco and jumped into the leather community with both boots. She has served as Coordinator of The Exiles and is Treasurer for and on the Board of the Bears of San Francisco. In her day job, Liza co-owns TheCompleteBear.com and TheTwistedBear.com. Liza was recently named 2009 “Woman of the Year” by the San Francisco Bay Area Leather Alliance.

Liza’s slave Jody, began her leather journey in 1980 as a willful yet dutiful servant. Before that she was an officer in the US Air Force (and, before that, in the Arizona Wing of Civil Air Patrol) and trailed drill teams and color guards. Shortly after coming into leather, Jody founded Leather and Lace, a woman to woman BD/DS/SM group in Los Angeles. She was a Judge for the 1990 International Ms. Leather contest and for the 2005 Mr. San Francisco Leather contest. In her day job, Jody is an attorney and a mediator. Liza and Jody, her slave, have been living together in a 24/7 M/s relationship for almost 8 years.

They are both are on the steering committee of Leather Levi Weekend, are on the organizing committee for Leather Alley at San Francisco Pride and are the producers of the Ms. San Francisco Leather contest. They are currently Northwest Master/slave 2010.
