http://www.imrl.com/ Now, for those of you who click on the IML link and think "WTF?? I'm not into a bunch of gay men running around in leather!" I have TWO considerations for you:

1) While the BDSM and Leather Culture do not have a complete overlap, there is a strong one, and plenty of het ladies and gents frequent this event, including a number of Dommes (the best one I know is hands down Eve Minax).

2) The Market-http://www.imrl.com/visitorguide/market.php IML is the largest gathering of leather folk in the entire country, and The Market is equally impressive. You don't have to buy into the convention to get into The Market. Only a small donation is required. Don't ask me how much $$$$$ I blow here every year (I rationalize to my CPA that it falls under "business expenses," just like my lingerie). And...if you see a small blond man grinning in a deceptively sweet and sadistic manner in the massage booth, say hi to my Pilates trainer!

And I will be well hydrated, if anyone is interested.
