goLEATHER DC – 1/11 and 1/17 – Meeting and MAL Shopping Trip – Fet Nights – Announce/RSVP – FetLife
goLEATHER will once again be meeting in January – actually we will twice again be meeting in January!

On 1/11, @4pm we invite anyone and everyone who is interested or curious about the group, who may possibly want to be involved in the coming year, to attend a short 2009 planning meeting. During 2008 we’ve had a great time but we’d love to see a more active membership and we want YOUR input on the direction of the group. Should goLEATHER focus more on community service? More on activism? More on education? More on fundraising? All of the above, or none? If you would like to be a member or an Advocate Member, please join us for this session. If you cannot make it, please email me beforehand if you’d still like to contribute ideas. If enough people are present we will elect officers or take volunteers for positions for the 2009 year. If you’ve always wanted to have a hand in helping a small group get off the ground, please come and join us.

For more information, message me (DominaSmartass) or check out www.goleather.org and www.goleather.org/dc.htm

Then, on 1/17, come with us on a shopping trip to the MAL Exhibition Hall. It doesn’t cost anything to get in and this is some of the best shopping you’ll find with so many vendors all in one place. We can plan a meeting time and place but the exhibition hall opens at 10am and I’m thinking we’ll go down around noon. I will post updates to the goLEATHER group on Fetlife as plans firm up.

MySpace,com in it’s effort to keep the site ‘Safe and inviting’ has, in fact, rejected many fetishists based on their particular, but legal, fetishes.

How does a foot fetish become illicit in a general point of view?… a picture of bared feet was grounds for many profiles being deleted from the popular community site.

We have discovered that the root cause was, so called ‘christian’ profile holders, making application to myspace officials to have the fetishists removed. A rampant campaign has been started by Christian organizations to flood myspage, tagworld and other community sites with complaints against individuals, who are subsequently removed from the ‘community run’ sites.

Aware of the flood of complaints, Myspace has since implemented a review section, where individuals may accept or reject friend requests. By rejecting a friend request, an individual can prevent spam, inappropriate review, and complaints against them selves, because MySpace see’s the rejection as a proactive form of preventing people who would otherwise disagree on topics or be offensive to one another, from linking their profiles.

Bondage-Radio strongly encourages the use of the review and rejection, not only as an end to Spam, but as a way to protect yourself from unwanted harassment of any kind.

Below is an actual letter sent out by Bondage-Radio to a potential ‘Friend’.

—

Thank you for your request to be added to our friends list on MySpace.com.

Your profile clearly indicated that you are a ‘Christian’ Organization in the recording industry.

As a precaution, in the genre that Bondage-Radio selects as it’s primary audience, the Fetish, BDSM, independent, grunge, alternative lifestyle areas, we do review all friends applications and reject requests based on set criteria.

These criteria all tie in with our Safe, Sane, Consensual position on all lifestyles.

Although we do appreciate your request, we think it would be not in keeping with the core beliefs of our listeners and fans to add you to our friends list.

Many of our listeners and fans are predisposed to an anti-establishment, anti-Christian, independent point of view. Most would base that point of view on personal experience with so called Christian values and ideals that have fallen far short of the fair, equitable and tolerant facade that Christian organizations put forth to the public.

In practice these same organizations discriminate, devalue and reject individuals because of one feigned failure or another, leaving a whole culture (which is referred to with the discriminative term as a ‘sub’ culture) without support or infrastructure.

We are sure that in future applications we will no doubt maintain these criteria, values and beliefs, therefore; there is no need for you to reapply.

May we suggest that your efforts may be better spent researching those people and organizations, with whom you may have more in common. We note that so called ‘Christian’ radio stations out number ‘Fetish’ and ‘Adult’ radio stations by a margin of over 1000 to 1.

If you feel that this evaluation has been overly harsh or in some way discriminatory, may we politely suggest you look over you own core beliefs and reevaluate the way you treat others, before commenting on others’ values.

Please feel free to comment on this letter, also be advised, we already have.

Thank You again

Bettie Page, a 1950s pinup known internationally for her raven-haired bangs and saucy come-hither looks, and a Fetish Icon the world over for her open and new posture on sexuality, was identified as in a coma in intensive care after suffering a heart attack.

The secretary-turned-model was admitted to hospital last month, suffering from pneumonia. She had a heart attack while there and never regained consciousness.

Page is credited with helping set the stage for the sexual revolution of the rebellious 1960s. She attracted national attention with magazine photographs of her sensuous figure that were tacked up on walls across the country. She featured in posters and photographs.

However not everyone was happy with the pictures. Some US lawmakers were concerned they amounted to pornography and subpoenaed Page to testify at a congressional hearing, although in the end she never had to appear.

Bettie Mae Page was born in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1923. Her career took off after an amateur photographer in New York asked her to pose for pictures in 1950. Her photos included a centerfold in the January 1955 issue of then-fledgling Playboy magazine, as well as controversial sadomasochistic poses.

Playboy founder Hugh Hefner called her a “very dear person”

“I think that she was a remarkable lady, an iconic figure in pop culture who influenced sexuality, taste in fashion, someone who had a tremendous impact on our society,” Hefner was quoted as saying.

Page later spent decades away from the public eye, and during that time battled illness. She was married three times but had no children.

After resurfacing in the 1990s, she occasionally granted interviews but refused to allow her picture to be taken.Looking back on her career, she told Playboy in 1998: “I never thought it was shameful. I felt normal. It’s just that it was much better than pounding a typewriter eight hours a day, which gets monotonous.”

The announcement came late Friday Night.

“With deep personal sadness I must announce that my dear friend and client Bettie Page passed away at 1841 this evening in a Los Angeles hospital,” her agent Mark Roesler said.

“She captured the imagination of a generation with her free spirit and unabashed sensuality”, he said. “She is the embodiment of beauty”.

Presidential Transition Causes Delay in 2257 Revision
By Slav Kandyba
Friday, Dec 5, 2008 Text size:
WASHINGTON — The presidential transition is apparently causing a delay in the release of revised 2257 regulations.

There’s no definitive date for the release, a. Justice Department spokesperson confirmed to XBIZ today. The date had been set to the ambiguous “12/00/08” in the department’s planning paperwork.

The same paperwork states that 2257 revision will “amend the recordkeeping and inspection requirements of 28 CFR Part 75 to account for changes in [2257],” according to a federal filing.

Those changes, in turn, will apparently be based on the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006, as stated in the Justice Department’s paperwork.

How that weighs into 2257 wasn’t immediately clear. An XBIZ request to further elaborate that was sent to Andrew Oosterbaan, chief of the Justice Department’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, wasn’t immediately returned.

[From U.K. Defines 'Extreme Pornography' - XBIZ.com]

LONDON — New rules defining “extreme pornographic images” — which will become illegal to possess in the U.K. when new rules go into effect Jan. 26 — have been issued by the U.K. Ministry of Justice.

The eight-page document details that “extreme” images must be pornographic, be “grossly offensive, disgusting, or otherwise of an obscene character,” and must “[portray in an explicit and realistic way” an act from a list which includes bestiality, necrophilia and acts which threaten life or threatens or results in serious injury to a person’s anus, breast or genitals.

The document admits that “life threatening” and “serious injury” are not defined and will be a question of fact to be determined by a judge or jury.

Penalties upon conviction can range from six months imprisonment and up to 5,000 pounds fine to three years imprisonment and an unlimited fine depending on the degree of offense and level of court imposing the penalties. Convicted offenders could also be required to enter a sex offenders registry depending on the sentence imposed.
