< BACK TO QUILT South Plains Leatherfest South Plains Leatherfest was created in 2000 by Mark Frazier. Master Jim and slave marsha coordinated the Master/slave workshops track for Mark in 2000 and then joined him as co-producers and owners after SPLF 2002. Sir Cougar later joined the team and Mark left after he acquired ownership of International LeatherSir/Leatherboy in 2008. Since its inception, South Plains Leatherfest has hosted the International Master slave Contest (IMs) annually. In March 2020, Master Jim, slave marsha and Sir Cougar announced that they would step aside from producing SPLF and the IMs Contest. The process of transition was delayed due to Covid and in 2021, they named Tomo as the new Owner and Producer of SPLF and the IMs Title System. Master Jim, slave marsha and Sir Cougar produced SPLF and the IMs Contest for the last time in March 2022. SPLF thanks Master Jim, slave marsha and Sir Cougar with deepest gratitude for all the work they have generously given to our community for so many years and honor them with the status of SPLF Producer Emeritus with our admiration and respect. More recently, South Plains Leatherfest became the new home of the Internal Person of Leather Contest (IPOL), which is now produced alongside the IMs Contest each year. Founded in 2015 by Jazz, Mr. Andrew Love, and Master Tallon, the goal of the International Person of Leather is to promote and celebrate the diversity of Leather Culture throughout our Community. In 2022, the Founders transferred ownership and production rights of the IPOL contest system to Tomo, naming Tomo as the new Owner. SPLF honors Jazz, Mr. Andrew Love and Master Tallon for their vision for this community, which was brought to life through years of hard work and care. As the Owner and Producer of South Plains Leatherfest, the IMs Title System and the IPOL Title System, Tomo brings many years of work in event production, decades of service as a member of the Leather Community, and the experience as a former IMs Titleholder to the job. With these skills, along with Tomo’s drive and capability, SPLF (along with the IMs & IPOL Title Systems) is in solid hands to thrive as it continues in this new generation. At South Plains we offer a place where all of us in Kink and Leather can gather in community and share connection, skills, social time and celebrate relationships that exchange authority. South Plains Leatherfest welcomes all folx from the Leather, Master slave, Kink, BDSM, Fetish and Authority Exchange communities to come together and embrace the magnificent range of kink that we present. Our goal is to offer something for everyone: from the beginner who recently found our community to the Leather Person with decades of wear on their leathers, to the Master slave pair who shares stories from years of being together, to the queer kinkster who wants to get it going in the play space. We provide a safe space where we can all thrive. SPLF is an event for all: Queer, Gay, Dyke, Bisexual, Heterosexual, Pansexual, Asexual and every gender presentation. 00183 Home: Dallas, Texas USA Status: Active Founded: In 2000 by Mark Frazier Panel History: Added in-person at South Plains Leatherfest in Dallas, Texas USA on March 23, 2023.

< BACK TO QUILT Vanguard Leather Vanguard Leather is a pansexual sex and weird positive group that integrates education from old guard leather traditions with new leather, other protocol related customs and relationship dynamics. This group brings together those that desire to learn and would like to further personalize and define leather values in a nonjudgmental arena that suits their individual D/s relationships in the 21st century. The construct of Vanguard Leather is one of innovation through education. When a person considers identifying as “leather”, they may have a preconceived notion of what leather means based on the people they have encountered identifying as leather folk. This group seeks to educate about the “old guard” leather traditions but really aims to create a synergy with new relationship dynamics, ethics and moral fiber so that the members can personalize what works for them. They can take this knowledge, experiment and incorporate what works into their dynamic. We encourage mentorship established in your community, as well as being an active member of your community. This enables you to develop skill sets and provides exposure to philosophies and ideals that you may find beneficial to incorporate into your D/s lifestyle. 00228 Home: Fort Lauderdale, Florida USA Status: Active Founded: 2013 Panel History: Added in-person at Beyond Leather XVI on Saturday, May 18, 2024 in West Palm Beach, Florida Links: Fetlife Group Other Details: N/A Have details about this panel that are not listed?
