oooh la la!

April 13th, 2010

It’s been a while since I updated our progress. it’s been trippy. We’ve been adding so much goodness that not even the fast publishing pace of the web can keep up. I’m so looking forward to going home after this last pass and working on SELF full time for a while.

We’re adding in some cool goodness for CSP holders and I really hope people like how this works out. :)

We’re deep into the business of this and it’s going to ramp up further. I’m heading to SF this week to support Miss Rae’s bid for the title. I have every confidence she’s going to do well and have a great experience. The competition is stiff and friendly this year.

all in good order

January 17th, 2010

It’s been a super busy SELF week. I’ve spent at least ten hours this week in meetings. I have another two hour meeting schedule tomorrow too.

There are lots and lots of trainings going on. Operations has been super busy this week. We’re scheduling classes, working with the hotel, and running our op boards. I was really excited this week when we found out that the hotel is 82% full. That’s fantastic. I think we’re going to take the whole hotel and sell them out. That is going to be a rocking environment.

We’ve also been working on making sure there are extra benefits for our CSP holders. I think those bonuses are going to be fantastic. I’m looking forward to a little extra fun. I bought my package over a month ago and even I’m excited. I think it’s a good sign when the producers are excited.

Our sponsorship department is about to kick into high gear. We went into package creation and various opportunities. I think it’s going to be a good year. We’ve got some great charities and we’re going to work very hard for them. Speaking of, I did some work on the roll out and extras that we’re giving to our charities. We’re designing some excellent excite there and I think we’ll announce that in March– hummm…that might be April.

I also have a meeting later this week. I’m debating if SELF can take on another charity. The work is so important that I honestly need to make the extra effort and see if it’s possible. I hope it is. I’ll work on some pieces of that later today.

This week the publicity dept was busy too! It was good to get the press releases out about Kinky Prom. That’s just a few weeks away and it’s going to be big fun. I can’t wait to enjoy all of it. I intend to dance for hours. I did last year…. LOL…. there were several people who asked how I have that much energy. Just plug in at night and sleep well. : )

The Women’s Leather History Project (WLHP) represents the LA&M’s ongoing commitment to making the diverse voices of women in leather visible and heard. The WLHP will collect artifacts, stories, and other items that represent the experience of all women (straight, gay, bisexual, transsexual, transgender, women of color). SELF is a primary sponsor of this project who will be filming people of interest all weekend long during the event.
Spearheading the WLHP for LA&M will be Sarah Humble and Leigha Fleming. Says Humble, “I am so excited to be involved in leading this project. I have my video recording equipment ready. It’s so important that as women we take the lead in collecting and preserving our own histories!”
Says Fleming, “We will be present at events, scheduling interviews and soliciting donations to make this project a reality”. Vi Johnson & Jill Carter have become our first individual donors and SouthEast Leatherfest has become our first event donor.

Community-Academic Consortium for Research on Alternative Sexualities (CARAS) who is dedicated to the support and promotion of excellence in the study of alternative sexualities, and the dissemination of research results to the alternative sexuality communities, the public, and the research community.
Founded in 2005, CARAS supports research addressing understudied sexual communities, with a current focus on BDSM/leather/kink/fetish sexualities and consensual non-monogamous relationships such as polyamory.

Both charities are 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations so contributions are deductible.
