The following images are from sex shows. I have been working them for about 6-7 years now. I am often asked Why?, How? What?, Who? and many other things about these. I want to take a little time here to explain.

I have always had a little bit of creativity and artistic flair. I have also loved leather and was curious as to how things were made. One day, at a Renacsence Fair I met a gentleman, Adam Smith, who had a booth set up displaying his leather wares. After many questions and meeting him several times I finally made my first belt. I made several more projects and was making some items for motorcycles that I had found a market for.

Then one day I was visiting an adult toy store with my at the time girlfriend looking for some cuffs. I took a serious look as to what was offered- poor quality at an inflated price and decided I could do much better. And I did! I always had a bit of an adventurous spirit and curiosity for things behind closed doors too.

Around this time I also met my now good friend Beth. Beth owns B.A.R.E Restraints, the company who's booth I work at the various sex shows. Over the years I have been producing what I feel is very high quality items such as floggers, paddles, smackers and a few whips along with some stainless steel items that aren't for the feint of heart. Beth takes my stuff along with her own inventory to shows across North America to sell at various shows. When the shows are local I am more than happy to pitch in and assist.

Now this is the part where some people get judgemental and give me those weird looks. I can see the wheels turning wondering just what kind of twisted soul I, and the people I work with could be. So let me say- guys, if you get excited seeing a picture of a girl in sexy lingerie.... you have a fetish! Yes, it's that simple. And girls, if you have a preference to guys in tight jeans, you just may have a kink. It's that simple really. For some people, kinky is leaving the lights on. For others, it goes a bit further.....

I'm not going to get into tales or stories here. Lets just say I am a little wilder than some, not as wild as others. But here's a little insight as to what goes on at the shows.

First and formost, for the vendors at these shows, it's all about the sales. Booth space can be expensive and for some, this is their living. Second is customer service. We want people to come back again. We do not sell junk. Yes, items you buy from us are much more expensive than you can buy at a downtown "toy" store BUT, our stuff won't fall apart the second time you use it.

Also the shows are about having a little fun while promoting our items. I make floggers and paddles etc. So, I promote those items. The best way I do that is by demonstrating the product. So I spend the shows encouraging giggling couples to smack the crap out of each other. Not to hurt or injure but all in fun. Some seem to have more fun than others. Including yours truly. Yes, there are times when I get requested to get in on the action. How can I refuse? It's my job, right?

Something else I have taken with me from experiences at the shows. I don't judge people nearly as much as I did many years ago. I have learned that just because someone takes pleasure in activities that may be off the beaten path (a little pun there) between consenting adults, does not make them a bad or evil person. It could be that they just discovered things about themselves and didn't let social pressures and fears keep them from their enjoyments in life.

The first set of pictures is the booth for B.A.R.E. in various shows. Some shows it's 10X10, others we've had 30X40

It gives an idea the various products sold. I should note here that Beth manufactures many of the items right at her own facility in Toronto.

The Customers

Now this next set of pictures are of some of the customers that have played around in our booth. Much of the action centers around the infamous spanking bench. Usually if someone has spanked their significant other, I insist they get their turn. Not many refuse as it's all in fun. Of course some enjoy it much more than others as you can see. It's also a great way to attract attention to our booth.

Staff

Over the years I have met many great people working our booth and from other booths at the shows. Here's just a sample of some of them getting in on the fun:

And finally... though I always profess to be innocent, I guess some of these pictures might refute that statement.

Sometimes customers as well as staff just want to drag me into their action. Reluctantly I have to agree... after all, I am there to help, right?

In truth, I have been filmed 3-4 times now (at shows) and those have been shown on late night TV. Though I have never seen any of the clips, I have had numerous phone calls from friends about seeing me. I pretty much give mini seminars at times in the booth and have even been asked if I would teach classes. That's something I am still thinking about.

Am I kinky? Hell ya!! I have even left the lights on.

But I also have my own limits. What are those limits? Well that's something only a select few shall ever know. If you're feeling brave, you could always send me an e-mail and ask. Who knows, I just might shed a little insight on the subject if I think you are looking for real information.

To my friends that will see this album- don't judge me, you don't really know what I do or am into. Just know that I am the same person you have always known. If you feel it's important, ask, don't assume. I am likely a lot more innocent than some of your minds are thinking!

Below are pictures of me in action at some of the shows. Unfortunately though I have been photographed and filmed many times, I very seldom get copies of the pictures of me working. And it is work.... honest!
