I’m excited to say that after a weekend of negotiation, Tiny Nibbles is being sponsored for the next two weeks by the event Shibaricon 2006! From the same pervy and sweet people who brought us the bondage rope dyed in my namesake (no link because it sold out in five days), Shibaircon is an open-to-the-public conference of rope bondage aficionados and sexy bondage models, all in an atmosphere of learning, demonstrations, cool stuff to buy and try at home, warm welcoming and of course, playing.
Why I’m really happy they asked me:
* They have great ethics and are proudly pansexual (all genders and orientations are welcome).
* Unlike many other leather and BDSM conventions they are great for newcomers or people who don’t know their hanky codes from their emoticons. You can go and just look around.
* They’re serious but they remember that bondage and S/M is fun, sometimes funny and ultimately really hot. So many BDSM people forget that it’s sexy and that if it’s done right it makes you want to have sex.
* It’s in Chicago, which currently needs to be known for more than Menopause the Musical.
* Really cool people I admire very much will be there, like Monk, Sir C, Graydancer (and yummy podcastress Minx?) and The English Tart.
* Kinky people in the Midwest need a shout out!
