Les Bon Temps

The group Les Bon Temps (LBT) was formed in April 2012 in Mobile, Alabama by Mistress Amirah. The name of the group is a take on the French phrase “Laissez les bon temps rouler” which translates to “let the good times roll” and is heavily associated with Mardi Gras which began in Mobile. Les Bon Temps translates to “the good times.”

LBT is dedicated to having a good time through education and risk aware consensual kink. We host munches and educational events for members and guests from other BDSM, Kink, and Leather groups along the Gulf Coast and beyond. We are a pansexual, BDSM, kink, and Leather group and welcome all persons of all genders, identities, sexualities, races, and roles.

LBT’s first munch was on April 17, 2012 at a Ruby Tuesday’s in Mobile, Alabama. Our first educational demo/class was on April 21, 2012 and was on canes and paddles. Our second demo/class was on May 26, 2012 on the history of the Leather lifestyle and BDSM. The group added coffees to the roster of events in July 2013 and along the way play parties were also added. In 2015 LBT expanded and began holding events in neighboring Baldwin County as well after the passing of the leader and closure of the group meeting there.

Over the years LBT has given back to the local community. LBT has organized a toy drive during the holiday season as well as fundraisers for lifestyle community members dealing with loss of home due to fire, unexpected funeral costs, cancer, flood victims in Louisiana, Hurricane Michael victims in the Panama City area, and severe illness.

LBT’s logo was designed in approximately 2014/2015 by Mistress Morgayne utilizing the group’s colors of red, black and grey/silver. LBT introduced patches and pins with group colors/logo for its tenth anniversary in April 2022.

LBT’s patch for The Leather Quilt was made by Bulldog Custom Leather in the Atlanta, Georgia area.
