BDSM & Leather Biography.
PRINTABLE VERSION HERE
This “Delicate, Trembling Flower of Submission” © is a NYC born and raised writer, actress, BDSM Educator and Executive Pervert. She is extremely honored, humbled and proud to have served as International Ms Leather 2010. She is also thrilled to have been named Ms. San Francisco Leather 2009 after that contest’s decade long slumber.
She is deeply honored to have been nominated for the 21st Annual Pantheon of Leather’s Woman of the Year & Northern California Regional Awards.
Exploring kink since 1993 and active in BDSM and the Leather Community since 1996, she speaks at Leather, BDSM and Kink events across the US, Europe and Canada on many Leather and BDSM focused topics. She also brings the knowledge on Kink, BDSM and Leather to such august institutions of higher learning as SF and Cal State, Harvard, Yale, Stamford, and Brown for IvyQ.
Mollena’s been sober since 3-14-2007 and in December that same year, she founded “Safeword,” a 12-step based recovery group for all kinksters seeking recovery from addiction.
International Ms Leather 2010 was truly an international title year with visits to the Pride Festival in Stockholm, Sweden, where she made history as the first Leatherwoman ever invited to march with the venerable Scandinavian Leathermen’s Association! She’s also done her thing in Dublin, Ireland, Berlin, Germany, the UK: toured Amsterdam, Netherlands for Leather Pride, as well as teaching and performing in Vancouver, Canada. A roll-up of her epic IMsL 2010 title year can be found here!

agreed! I don’t often come across “wonderfully kinky” women of color, so I appreciate each and every one! You should stop over in New England sometime, you’d be most welcome

Mollena, please please please come to Central Wisconsin. Soon. I would love to get to sit and chat with you about so many things over a cup of good coffee. Master promises to come with me to see you if you come to speak (warning: if he gets the chance to talk with you he will tease you outrageously.) I’m going to have to go on his computer now and bookmark your blog for him. He thinks you are gorgeous and I am supposed to tell you “You are not fat” (Thats from him lol).
Many huge hugs

Hello,
As with the shakespearian Oberon, my significant other is TitaniA. A switching, wonderfully kinky lady of stature, integrity and unparallelled beauty. However, you give her a run for her money in all those respects.
Yours truly, Morten and Tina
