slave Jerri

 

Most of the time when people meet me they tend to think I am a femme who is Ian’s shy and well behaved submissive, when in all actuality I am “wild at heart” with a soft sensuous side ….

 

I have an extreme love for exquisite lingerie, sexy boots/shoes and all the girlie things in life and yet I am a bit of a tomboy who loves the outdoors and doesn’t mind getting my hands dirty. .  .   And as much as I would like to deny it I am shy when you first meet me, but I am a well behaved submissive femme who can be silly one minute, serious the next … a masochist with a little bit of a SAM thrown in occasionally for good measure…

 

Member of Clan SnowDragon Leather family, NLA-I, Women In Leather International, Treasurer for Transcending Leather Corps (TLC), SLT (Submissives Learning Together), Oklahoma Women of Leather (OWL), Associate member of Tulsa Rough Riders, honorary member Tulsa Dungeon Society (TDS) and a proud member of Mama’s Family, “Mama’s Keebler Elf”.

 

I have worked with South Central Leather Contest (SCLC) 2009/2010 and served as judge’s slave 2010, hosted hospitality suites for Transcending Leather Corps (TLC) at numerous events across the country.  I also have the honor and privilege of being on South Plains Leatherfest staff.   

Working with Women’s International Leather Legacy (WILL) has given me opportunity to promote WILL working behind the scenes as the Advertising/Sponsorship coordinator and judge’s slave 2011.  WILL 2012 began a new venture for me as a producer for the contest while maintaining my position as Advertising/Sponsorship Coordinator.

I AM NOT perfect and am sometimes unreasonable, temperamental and hard headed, when the day ends … I am a woman enjoying my life !!!
