Meet the Presenters: Prince Tristian

For over 30 years, he’s helped shape the fabric of our community — leading, teaching, and connecting others through the power of leather and service.

---

My story in kink started before I even knew the word for it. As a teenager I’d sneak Penthouse magazines — not for the photos, but for the wicked, unapologetic adventures of “Wicked Wanda.” A few years later, reading Anne Rice’s Sleeping Beauty trilogy, I saw myself in Prince Tristan — and everything clicked. In a pre-internet world, I followed a tiny flyer from the back of an adult video store to my first B**M night, got
vetted, walked through those doors, and never looked back.

More than 30 years later, this journey shaped nearly every part of who I am. I’ve been a collared and owned slave/boy five times and a Daddy/Owner three times. I’m supported by my wife of 40 years and my slave princess — both of whom make it possible for me to
live and love this life fully. I claim many identities: masculine, slave, leatherboy, primal wolf, pans*xual, poly, and Daddy. My kinks tend to sit on the rougher edge — I love the dirty, the raunchy, and a good whip on my back. I flag hunter green, yellow, black, and
Houndstooth.

Community has always been where my heart lives. I’ve led beginner groups, facilitated relationship discussions, helped build dungeons and clubs across the Southeast and Mid- Atlantic, and co-founded MAsT Virginia Beach. I was honored to be crowned the first
Mr. Virginia Leather in 2019 — and I carried that title through 2022 with a platform rooted in inclusion, education, and authenticity. Even during the pandemic, I worked with local groups to keep our people supplied, supported, and learning.

For me, leather isn’t just gear — it’s a bridge. It connects us across kinks, identities, and experiences. And building those bridges is my life’s work.

🌟 Meet The Presenters: Goddess Indigo and Slave Sill 🌟

Get ready to be inspired by The Goddess Indigo and Slave Sill — a powerhouse duo whose passion, humor, and authenticity shine through in everything they do. From championing sustainable female-led dynamics to living the values of Leather, love, and learning, they bring depth, heart, and unapologetic truth to every space they enter.

The Goddess is an author and international educator with a unique brand of irreverent humor. This covered Leather Master is a founding board member and President of Onyx Pearls Lustre Southwest and Directrix of MAsT Austin.

An ordained minister, International Ms. Leather (IMsL) 2024 and first BIPOC Ms. Texas Leather, she is honored to own three incredible force multipliers: Dr. Bob, his BBG and Slave Sill. The second IMsL of Asian descent after a fifteen year gap and humbled to be half of the first pair of International Titleholders with the powerhouse IMBB S***k Cake, she is blessed to be a member of “The Family,” the oldest BIPOC Matriarchal Leather family.

She is honored to continue to be invited to present on her passion: sustainable female-led dynamics. She urges our community to work together to passionately defend our kin who are under attack, actively protect and advance our rights world-wide, exercise our right to vote in the countries we can and exert the power of our united voices to effect change.

Slave Sill, Ms. Austin Eagle 2025 and Ms. Texas Leather 2025 is The Goddess’ 24/7 collared live-in property. She met The Goddess by vehemently disagreeing with her while attending a class her now Master was presenting. Slave Sill has been in the lifestyle since 2006 and was in her last dynamic for 15 years. Her passion for education and sustainability in WIITWD continues to shine through. The rest is herstory in the making!
