Ladyshivers

As a young adult, LadyShiver's daughter described her as a "steel
magnolia", always the strong one, single mom, executive, woman in charge.
Discovering BDSM, LadyShivers found a welcome release through
submission. Her latest journey in the leather lifestyle has now found her on the Top side.

Formerly an NLA-Dallas Membership Chairperson, she was also co-founder of The House of Darkwatch, a BDSM group based in Oklahoma City, and co-developer of a kinky merchandise store. Later she struck out on her own with "Ladyshiver's Closet" and then a career change offered her an opportunity to develop "The Medicine Chest", a one-stop shop featuring medical grade merchandise at economy prices for your kinky medical play. Along with being a mentor for the Dallas Dominant and Submissive Mentoring programs, she has the honor of being nominated for NLA-I Woman of The Year.

At the 'tender' age of 51, she earned her Texas Pyrotechnician's license, and she and her long time friend and whip mentor Sebastian formed "OtherWorld Productions", a pyrotechnics and fireworks display company. She recently completed a body piercing apprenticeship and is now employed full time at FN Classy Tattoo in Huntsville TX as their body piercer and brander.

2011 Presentation:

Cautery Pen Branding
Sometimes called "temporary" branding, this class covers the physical nuts and bolts of cautery branding as well as some emotional aspects to consider. You will be able to observe a brand being done, and experience the sensation yourself, if you so choose.

2005 Presentation:

Body Image In The BDSM World Or: “Good Things Come In BIG Boxes!” Addressing the issues of being a "person of size" in the BDSM world. This workshop will cover topics such as the emotional impact of being "nekkid" in public, as well as physical, such as choosing a play station that will accommodate a person of size.
Other topics for discussion: * Are there more plus-sized people in the scene, or are they just more visible? * The advantages of being a "heavyweight" in scene. * "I may not be perfect, but parts of me are EXCELLENT!" * How to showcase your assets. * Issues surrounding a Dominant "helping" a submissive lose weight. * How to develop esteem in a partner with body issues.

Processing Pain: A submissive's perspective - In our world, we play with pain. Some people call it intense sensation" others label it "pain" - but regardless of what label we use - it is often a major component in our BDSM scenes. How we use it, the different kinds of pain or sensations that we use, the reasons that we do it and other aspects that affect both the top introducing the different sensations and the bottom reacting to them, is an important component for the development of a successful interaction or scene. This presentation will focus on different types of pain and how they are processed in scene. Discussion will focus on the importance of communication, what factors may affect the ability to process pain successfully and how to know when enough is enough. This is planned more as a workshop than a classroom. Audience participation is encouraged as we share experiences from tops and bottoms alike, and learn new and hopefully better ways to use this seldom discussed aspect of our lifestyle in creative and safe ways.
