Secretary - Jules aka Flipper
My relationship with LRA started when I came to an IML clean-up party in May of 2005. I met Lady Isis and Tony P.and enjoyed their company so much that I have been involved ever since.
Although I've only been in the Chicago scene since 2004, I'm fairly certain my switch tendencies started in grade school. While I very much loved being tied to the tree while playing cops and robbers, I enjoyed tying other people to the tree just as much. I discovered spanking in college, but my then-boyfriend decided he could not do it so I forgot about it until 2004, when I started dating someone who brought me slowly into the l ifestyle. When that relationship ended, my feeling was that if I wanted to meet someone who wanted this in their life, I needed to be around like-minded people. Naturally I thought of the LRA. I had been a guest once and really felt at home with the people I met (thank you Larry). Through a bit of trial & error, I found out what I really wanted in a relationship and in the scene. My wish for someone who shares my kinks came true, and I've been in an monogamous relationship for almost 2 years now.
Door duty, event planning and dungeon fairy duty (clean-up) were a few things I did for LRA prior to being elected to the board a few years ago. I'm proud to have seen it grow into where we are today.
Director 1 - Larry G
Larry's relationship began with the old Leather Rose, then helmed by it's founder Hans. Since then, he has been a tireless supporter of not only LRA, but the Chicago community as well. Larry has been an associate member of Trident, and was previously involved with both KBA and the CLLC. Larry has been on the board of directors for several years, serving as both director and informal legal counsel. Larry also has a passion for motorcycles and can often be seen riding his Harley through the streets of Chicago.
Director 2 - Riley
Riley (Mama's Switch Hitter) is a Chicago-based queer Leatherman who served as Great Lakes Bootblack 2007 before becoming the contest's coordinator. A mild-mannered university administrator by day, Riley can be found happily covered in polish, dye, and grease in Chicago's leather bars after dark.
Riley serves as a Director of LRA Chicago. In addition to his directorial duties, he also serves as a bootblack-in-residence and hosts our monthly cigar social. When not working or volunteering, Riley seeks to promote harm reduction philosophies as they relate to risk-aware consensual kink, through both word and deed.
Director 3 - Peter Raven
Peter is the newest member to the LRA board. A recent entrant into the Chicago BDSM scene, Peter has distinguished himself as a tireless worker and bringing his experience from his involvement in other alternative lifestyle activities. Peter is husband and Master to slave evangeline, who hosts the "Recovery in the Lifestyle" program at LRA.
President Emeritus - Lady Isis
Lady Isis is an active member of the Chicago scene with over 10 years of affiliation with the Leather Rose and the LRA. She has served on the LRA Board of Directors first as Vice-President and then as President. In October 2009 she was made President Emeritus by the membership of LRA, a title she is deeply honored to have received.
In the Chicago community, Isis is a regional title holder for Great Lakes (Pup) andler 2004. In the past she has coordinated toy drives for the U.S. Marine Corps Toys For Tots campaign and collected food for charity during IML 2008. She is the organizer of the IML Breakfast, an annual gathering open to all in the BDSM and Leather communities.
Isis is best known as the FemDomme with the infamous tail. An opportunistic instigator who cheerfully avoids taking things too seriously (herself included), Isis takes mischievous delight in intense mind games and impact play. She feels grateful and privileged to have learned with skilled mentors and honored to have had the opportunity to pay it forward by sharing her knowledge as a mentor herself.
Currently Lady Isis is the hostess of the FemDomme Friday nights at the LRA. She remains devoted to the future of the LRA and you can find her with tail and single tail flirting around the club she calls home.
