KINKY TOYS @ the 99 cent Store
By: Kinky Brothers
Playing in kinky BDSM sex can be very hot, exciting, and take you to many different sensational heights. Many consider it more as extreme sensational play. For some it’s about the pain that becomes pleasure, the unknown, or the endorphin rush, which is like a runner’s high. Many people use a wide variety of instruments in BDSM play, which are called toys. If you have stepped into the several local leather retailers, you probably have seen many of these toys. As one becomes more skilled20in BDSM play, one will want more and better toys to play with. It can get expensive in this current economy. If you are new to BDSM play, it’s best to start with low cost toys to figure out if you even like it before spending your next paycheck on a toy. Next time you are in the mood to purchase some new toys to play, go to your local 99 cent store with an open, kinky, creative mind. Cruise down the aisles with a kinky frame of mind and you will see so many items on the shelves to use on your partner(s) for only 99 cents.
Ø Green garden rods – cane your bottom’s bubble butt
Ø Religious glass cylinder candles – pour hot wax on your bottom’s smooth skin
Ø Kitchen spatula – paddle your bottom’s white cheeks and watch them turn red
Ø Duct tape – tape your bottom’s mouth to muffle the screaming
Ø Feather duster – tickle your bottom to no end
Ø Disposable shavers – shave your bottom’s body hair off for smooth skin
Ø Tooth brush – lightly brush your bottom’s cock head, nipples, in between toes
Ø& nbsp; Warming touch gel – spread some on the scrotum, inner thighs, or nipples
Ø Ping pong paddle – paddle your bottom’s butt cheeks without hurting your hands
Ø Hair tying elastic bands – use these as cock rings
Ø Elastic head bands – cover the eyes like a blindfold
Ø First aid elastic bandage – mummify your bottom to play with certain body parts
Ø Utility tarpaulin – lay this out on the floor for easier clean up afterwards
Ø Neck ties – use ties to restrain wrists and20ankles to the bed posts
Ø Cold/Hot compress – heat it or freeze it for shocking the skin, temperature wise
Ø Steel wool sponge/brushes – great for dragging along the skin
Ø Pudding 4/pack – great for eating off your bottom’s body when you’re hungry
The above lists only a few items in the store’s huge inventory. Also consider other retailers like Home Depot, Big Lots, Dollar Store and such. Don’t forget the stuff you already have in your kitchen now. More importantly, you walk out of the house with BDSM toys everyday – your hands, tongue, teeth, feet, brain. Your brain is the most important and creative sex toy you have, use it!
When you have learned the skills, techniques, safety issues, and creativeness, consider acquiring better quality toys at your local leather retailers such as Rough Trade, The Stockroom, 665 Leather, The Crypt, and the Pleasure Chest. Cruise down to the stores to feel and try some of the toys when permissible. It’s like buying a car, you should test drive it before purchasing it.
If you are interested in learning these skills, techniques, safety issues, and see some creativity, stop by Avatar Club LA’s monthly program meeting on the 4th Wednesday at 8:30 PM each month. Or sign-up for Avatar’s Leather Lab to learn BDSM play hands-on. Different kinky topics are taught each three hour class on Saturdays throughout the year. Check out Avatar’s website for details and schedules – www.AvatarLA.org.

International Mr. Leather
By: Kinky Brothers
More than 50 contestants from across the U.S. and around the world will compete at the 31st annual International Mr. Leather, May 21-25, 2009 (Memorial Day Weekend) in Chicago. All events will be held at the host hotel, The Chicago Hilton on Michigan Avenue. Most of the contestants come from the USA, Canada, Europe and Australia to compete at IML. The Los Angeles area will be represented by Ken Hearst, Mr. Los Angeles Leather 2009, and Mathew McLean, Mr. Long Beach Leather 2008. Mr. Mike of the San Diego Eagle, and John Kunz, Mr. Palm Springs Leather 2009 will also be competing. All will fly into Chicago to compete for the coveted leather title of International Mr. Leather 2009. Gary Iriza, International Mr. Leather 2008, and a panel of eight other distinguished judges will select Gary’s successor.
If you have never been to a Mr. Leather contest in the LA area, you don’t know what you are missing. The best way to describe a Mr. Leather contest is to simply imagine the Miss America pageant, but with hot masculine male contestants. The formal gown and question segment is our formal leather and speech segment. The swimsuit competition is our hunky men strutting across the stage in a leather jock strap, showing a lot of skin. The contestants go through a private interview where a panel of judges ask the contestants a variety of questions for about 15 minutes to determine who can be the best representative of the leather title. Most leather titleholders can be identified by a leather vest on their back and/or a medallion they are proudly wearing around their neck. Maybe you have seen some of these leather titleholders around town.
IML is also an annual gathering for many people with similar leather/kink/fetish interests. People come from around the world that may have met on-line via some website chat. For many, this is the one time of the year they will get to see each other. It’s like the family getting together for Thanksgiving weekend, but with a lot of sex. A very distinctive sexual energy is created in the hotel lobby by the weekend attendees. Here is where most of the socializing happens everyday and night. The view from the lobby’s higher level is a sea of hot men in leather gear drinking, cruising, flirting, kissing, manhandling, and chatting just to get things started. There’s no need to go to any other bar because it’s all happening in the hotel.
Many people attend IML because of the huge on site vendor market. It is probably the largest leather oriented vendor market in North America. One can find anything from a bondage table to a dildo the size of a Travelocity gnome and have it shipped home. It is the best cruising place as one walks through the many aisles of booths selling leatherwear, toys, boots, fetish gear, and more. Many major porn companies have their star performers at the booths signing autographs and posing for photos. Steamworks bath house has porn models hanging around in just white towels for one to enjoy. This takes shopping to a whole other level.
Friday and Saturday nights are packed with many parties in the hotel ballrooms which are open to everyone. Canada usually hosts a party in honor of their Canadian contestants. If you have a uniform fetish, check out the uniform party. The men of Onyx put on a jammin’ dance party with DJ’s that rock the dance floor. Folsom Street Events is hosting a party with TitanMen and Mr. S Leather. Of course there are plenty of smaller private parties in hotel rooms, which you’ll have to earn your invitation to or cruise the hall ways. The IML victory dance party is at the House of Blues and the Monday night closing party is at Excalibur, where everyone lets down their hair.
IML is such a high energy leather party weekend that you will need a relaxing vacation after you get back home. Whether you are a leather/kink/fetish novice or a seasoned leatherman, IML weekend is for you. Check out the details at www.IMrL.com. Good luck to Ken Hearst and all the IML contestants.
