Meet our Featured Presenters: Master Thaddeus Twist and bunny nichol twist

In 2015, Master Thaddeus Twist embarked on a transformative journey into the world of B**M, initially captivated by the art of rope bo***ge. Over the following two years, he immersed myself deeply in the B**M and Leather communities, attending events, conferences, and classes to expand my knowledge.

In 2018, he collared slave bunny nichol, and successfully graduated from the Austin Mentorship program, cementing his dedication to these vibrant communities. Assuming the role of Patriarch of The House of Twisted Creations, we prioritized community, support and empowerment. We are proudly served by Kay Danni Twist.

His focus shifted towards teaching and presenting in 2020, as he embraced the principles of “each one, teach one” and “iron sharpens iron.” His aim was to empower others within the B**M and Leather realms, sharing insights and knowledge gained throughout his journey.

In 2023, he proudly earned the title of Heartland Person of Leather, alongside his role as a decorated military veteran. Actively mentors with the Texas Mentorship Program and presents worldwide sharing his experiences.

His journey through the B**M and Leather communities has been marked by personal development, continuous learning, and a profound sense of belonging. His commitment remains unwavering in empowering and educating individuals who, like him, discovered their passion within these remarkable cultures.

Additionally, I’m delighted to introduce Majordomo BunnyNichol Twist. She has devoted a decade of unwavering service to the Leather & kink community, championing Black women, non-binary, and marginalized individuals both within and beyond our community.

Her dedication extends to leadership roles on various boards, committees, and organizations, where she tirelessly provides education, advocacy, and boundless love. As the Steering Committee Volunteer Engagement for HRC ATX, she consistently uplifts and empowers her community and advocacy she believes deeply in. Her vital roles as Board Member, BASH Producer and HPOL Producer within GWNN Austin TX showcased her dedication.

Her commitment also shines in her mentoring and support roles. Starting as an apprentice in the Austin Submissive Mentors Program, she rose to become an administrator and mentor. Her contributions extended to AMP/DsMP/DMP, where she served as a mentor and panelist to this day.

As a founding board VP of OP Elites, previous member at large for OPLSW and a member of AgoL, she has demonstrated exemplary leadership and commitment. Her roles as AgoL Website Manager and Sergeant at Arms showcased her diverse talents. In Touch of Leather, she served as a council member, secretary, and PR officer.

In 2021, BunnyNichol received the prestigious Onyx Pearls Award for Excellence, earning the Goddess Award, symbolizing her as a peacemaker, healer, and educator who prioritizes the well-being of others.

BunnyNichol Twist remains an inspiring figure, unwavering in her dedication to the Leather community. Her legacy of service, advocacy, and love continues to shape and uplift those fortunate enough to know her.

A long time ago at a Leather bar far far away, a preciously young Mara donned their tightest jeans, tucked up their hair into a leather baseball hat, and jumped on a subway to try to find the kind of men they lusted after found on the well worn pages of their stolen copy of Drummer magazine.

Mara's journey has been a long and winding road that includes being a boy, a girl, a slave, a daddy, a sadomasochist, an educator, a title holder, a producer, a ritual facilitator and many other stops over the last 35 years in the Leather community.

Today Mara (they/them) identifies as an opportunistically omnivorous q***r, gender expansive, Slave (with a capital S). They are currently serving as your International Person of Leather

Their passion for service and lifetime of being on the right side of the slash has guided their education efforts to design and present classes from and for other s-types (including hands on technique classes).

Mara's other guiding principles focus on diversity, equity and inclusion efforts to help create spaces for Leather people who don't fit outdated norms, and smashing through gatekeepers when necessary.
