slave louis has been enamored with what we call the lifestyle long before he knew what it was; a curiosity for kink, and a penchant for perversion has always tantalized and thrilled him and makes his mouth water and toes tingle, along with other erogenous zones when has been lucky. His journey on the pathway of the lifestyle started with the self realization that the things he seemed to enjoy were off par with the “norm” of others in a general sense. He seemed to harbor interest in the proverbial darker side of sensation, and was enthralled with the possibilities of kink and perversion from his early teens.

 slave louis has lived in North Carolina since 1992 and during his first years here found himself holding fast to his desires and personal fetishes yet did not have a clue as to how many people shared these same characteristic’s and desires. That all changed in 1999 when he met the delightful, devilishly wicked and wanton Mistress Emm who took him under her venerable wings and showed him just how much the BDSM and fetish community had to offer in way of education, camaraderie, acceptance and friendship. During his time in North Carolina, he has attended many functions with Mistress Emm, both on a local and national level. He has been graced with opportunities to meet and participate with others in the lifestyle in a multitude of venues from local groups like MAsT, Together in Leather, The Red Hot Ball, WINK, TMG, SSCN, TALON and national events like Black Rose, SELF and others. Through it all, his favorite aspect has been, and always will be, the diversity of the individuals he has met and the lasting friendships he has made.

slave louis self identifies as a bisexual switch with heavy bottom tendencies. He is honored and humbled to be giving his input into the choice of our next NCLC representatives. The participants and contestants have a wonderful opportunity to carry on a stalwart tradition of serving the community and bringing their own personal experiences and insights to both promote and educate others in the community. He looks forward to sharing his own unique flare and flavor to the process, and wish all the contestants the best of luck.

Evil_Geoff has been emotionally and spiritually oriented towards SM and D/s for as long as he can remember that there was a difference between boys and girls and what that difference was for. In 1997 he was introduced to BDSM as a lifestyle that people could actually live and practice. In April of 1998, after several months of online exploration, he ventured into the live world of Leather when he first attended The Sanctuary of a Dark Angel, the dungeon in Atlanta run by Master Doug and boy bob Harris.

His education progressed rapidly at that point, and he became active in groups and participated in events ranging from The Sanctuary of a Dark Angel and PEP in Atlanta, to the Group With No Name and Texas Leather Pride in Austin, Texas, to LynX, CAPEX, TMG and AprilBash in North Carolina. Over the years he has learned from many of teachers the BDSM and Leather worlds have to offer including Master Hines, Hromovy, Midori, Tammad Rimilia, Catherine Gross and many, many others.

In 1999, Geoff founded T3WD (This Thing That We Do), a pansexual BDSM education and support group in Columbia, SC. Over the years he served on the T3WD Board in every position from President to Secretary and as the NCSF Coalition Partner Representative. He has served the kink community throughout the Carolinas and Georgia as a major proponent for the SM community, the NCSF and all things Leather and SM related. Geoff has become an aficionado and teacher of many things over the years, to include flogging, fireplay, needles, the violet wand, caning, role-playing, scene safety, and many other subjects. Geoff has been a good will ambassador and presenter at numerous BDSM groups, events and dungeons around the Southeast.

He petitioned, and was recently accepted into The Kindred, a Leather Family headed by LadyBeth after he completed a year-long pledge period. Geoff lives in Graham, NC, and is the head of his own leather household.

cherylmarie began exploring BDSM in Charleston, SC over 10 years ago. She quickly became one of the primary planners for the 3D Munch Group. She started a submissive SIG in the area and also helped to bring major speakers and educators to the Lowcountry including one note-worthy event where she helped Catherine Gross hold the very first Servants Retreat. She gave support to several other groups in the southeast such as T3WD, SC-LOCK, AIRS, Myrtle Beach Kink and the Trident Knights. She attended events, classes and venues such as Together in Leather, SELF, The Sanctuary of a Dark Angel, the Nine Fold Path and her first leather run - Menamore. In 2002 she was given control of the 3D Munch Group to lead which she did for the next two years. Her service to the community and 3D continued until she moved to NC in 2006.

cherylmarie identifies as a service-oriented slave and has had the pleasure of formally serving two wonderful men and many others informally who have helped her to develop and grow along with some friendships with some of the most talented and self aware people she could have ever met. When starting, cherylmarie thought pain was crazy but, one sadist and several rattan canes later, that changed. The play that tantalizes her includes the gamut from whips and canes to needles and staples but one thing must always be present...someone's abilty to capture the mind.
