Archer’ Bio

Leather, just the sound of the word gives a sense of the sensual power of treated skins. As a teen Archer started working with leather, the smell and feel of it had some primal effect on him. Even then the power images of leather had a part in his sexual fantasies, but the images of abuse held him back from exploring them. Leatherwork went by the wayside when he graduated and then went to Marion Military Institute and earned a Commission in the Army Reserve. His love of working with leather returned years later. That, along with the sensual images of his youth, led him to begin in Dallas, Texas in 1996 what he expect to be a life-long exploration of BDSM.

Archer’s relationship with his slave Elegant started in September of 1999 and prompted him to get more involved with the leather community. He is a member, CAPE, MasT-Atlanta, NLA-International, current VP of The Tribe and continues his membership with NLA-Dallas because it is his birthplace of leather. Archer is an Environmental Scientist and ‘out’ to his employer. Since moving to Atlanta in the summer of 2002 Archer has also been working to expand his leather and toy business, Fantasies In Leather. He provides educational experiences to groups large and small on subjects ranging from Fireplay and Microbondage to Exploring Your Leather Identity and Florentine Flogging. His dedication to the community and specifically in lifestyle education is leading him to new experiences.

Elegant’s Bio

Elegant began her leather journey in Dallas, Texas and has been an active part of the Atlanta community since moving in 2001.

She is slave to Master Archer, mother to two pre-teens, PTA volunteer, leather crafter, bootblack, Group Event Coordinator for 1763 and co-owner of Fantasies In Leather. Elegant is a member of The Tribe, CAPE, National Leather Association International, NLA-Dallas, MAST-Atlanta, Publicity and Fundraising Chair for SouthEast LeatherFest and the creator of the Atlanta Fetish Flea Market. Elegant had the honor of being selected as Southeast Bootblack 2005 at Together In Leather and 1st Runner-Up at International Community Bootblack 2005.

Bootblacking and leather care are Elegant’s passions. She considers them services of love and an art form in which to express herself. She has a kinky love for extreme clothespin play and all things flaming and has led education classes on Microbondage and Fireplay and workshops of the mind with Master Archer. Her dedication to the community and specifically in spreading a positive awareness of D/s~S/m is a never-ending path to new experiences.
