I'll bet, at the age of 64, I'm one of the oldest on this site (but, I have been told that I don't look my age). Back in the 1990's, I was quite active in the San Francisco Bay Area scene. I've had professional training, and I even delved into the pro circuit for a while. I was the one-and-only Lord Obsidian---master of leather bondage, sensual flogging, and the prison of the mind. Perhaps, I was best known for hosting the weekly "Bondage Night", at a small, underground nightclub. I knew quite a few folks---both professionals and serious, experienced players. Essentially, I was part of the Bay Area "Royalty".

However, the invasion of Silicon Valley, and the resulting insane cost of living, *tered us all to the winds. My particular specialty is Leather, though I am open to other ideas (within reason). At one time, I made custom leather clothing---coats, jackets, pants, and occasional other items upon request.

However, I haven't touched any of it in years. After moving to the great cultural black hole, known as the Texas Panhandle, I seemed to lose interest. Really, I decided to join this site on a whim. Eventually, I'll have to post some photos. But first, I'll have to dig out some of my old scene clothes, which are still packed-away in boxes. Hopefully, a few things still fit.

As for ethnic heritage, I am a mix of European and Paiute (Native American). How much of a mix, remains a mystery. My father, in his day, was too afraid of prejudice and bigotry. He took the answer to his grave. I had to learn from relatives. I suspect a quarter. But, I could be as much as a half.

Honestly, I am looking for a soulmate---someone mature, strong, creative, and intelligent, like me. And, who loves leather. Together, we could explore the wonders that life and the world have to offer. It may not be a champagne life. But, it would never get boring. Feel up to the challenge?

By the way, the gauntlets in my photo, were hand-made by me, back during my glory days in the 1990's. My hair was dark-brown/black, then. I really miss it.

Desires and Fantasies**
I am a dominant. I have reached that lofty plateau, where too many folks feel that I am out of their league. It has become a lonely place---a place that many are too intimidated to approach. I wish to return to my roots, to the simple life of two people exploring their passions, together.

Of course, I am always open to those who wish to serve. Come, tell me about yourself. Do you wish to share your love for leather or latex? Is there a budding artist deep inside, that is begging to be drawn forth? Don't be afraid to talk to me. I'm interested.
