nubianimp @ 01:20 am: Mayhem! - A weekend for Leatherwomen May 8 - 10

Mayhem! The Weekend Event for Leatherwomen May 8 – 10, 2009 Vancouver, Canada http://canadianmayhem.com/

Mayhem! Queer women’s BDSM and sexuality. All weekend long.

We’re completely pleased to be bringing you a conference-style weekend, with play parties, education, entertainment, and a line-up of brilliant presenters. We would like to invite all past, present and future women who enjoy woman-to-woman BDSM to our unique weekend of kink, play, and fun.

Whether you’re just beginning to explore kink, or consider yourself a seasoned veteran, Mayhem! is the place to play hard, play soft, learn, or just hang out and socialize with some very damn cool women.

History

Mayhem!will be the first women’s kink conference in Western Canada since 1993 — and the first one ever in East Vancouver, the area many local lesbians call home.

The Mayhem! weekend is organized by Bride of Pride. Our goal has always been to put on the exact kind of party that we all dream of attending, and of course that includes inviting everyone along.
