If it weren’t for all of you and all the work you put in day in and day out this event wouldn’t be as amazing as it is. I know how hard you all bust your butts to make things flow seamlessly and you pulled it off! Thank you so much for another great year!
Thank you to all of the incredible attendees who came out this year and my amazing roommates! It was an honor and a privilege to join and share energy with you and a pure delight to be surrounded by so much beauty, both inside and out! My additional thanks goes out to all of you who joined me for my Saturday workshop and hands-on taster on Sunday. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to interact with all of you and hope that you gained all you were seeking from your time with me.
Now that a bit of time has passed, I hope you have all arrived safely at your destinations-of-choice and I look forward to seeing you all again very, very soon.
Much love and respect,
Shae Flanigan

For those who are not aware, The Hard Edge is a space where educators get to push themselves to the max. Normally as presenters we teach 101 or 201 level classes, but in The Hard Edge space we get to present at a 1001 level…. and it really is as intense as it sounds.

Before going in, and all throughout the weekend, we stress that these workshops are NOT intended for beginning level players, we also let attendees know that at NO time will we be offended if they feel the need to walk out of, or take a break during our classes. Creating our workshops, we discover our limits and boundaries and push our own triggers and buttons so that we can help those in attendance discover theirs and explore the WHY behind their personal buttons.

I was amazingly blessed to be joined by my co-presenter Bryan Teague (American Leatherboy 2010). Over the years I have had the honor of presenting with many talented and incredible folks; Bryan by far is the truest example of these. His humor, wit and intelligence brings a wonderful light and grace to the stage that make it a true delight to join him. It’s rare to have such a cohesive chemistry with someone…. when it happens, each workshop becomes an amazing adventure, filled with fun, excitement and all the things that make our world what it is!

To The Hard Edge Volunteers, Staff, Presenters and Attendees, thank you all for your energy, time and dedication; this event would not be what it is without each of you.

Take care everyone and I look forward to seeing you all soon!

You’ll notice that the design is still a bit rough, the cost of being a Domme, an educator and a Life Coach is that time is not always on your side. Bare with me a little bit and I will do my best to spiffy it up over the next number of months.

Life Coaching is a huge part of my life as there are so many people in our community who need someone to talk to (not just play with) who “get it” and can help them work through the issues and struggles that are specific to our community both as individuals as well as any combination of D/s and M/s F/families. I also help work with vanilla counter-parts and extended family and help when people have children in the mix.

Please take a moment to look around my site and as always, feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Take care,

Shae

I hope folks had as wonderful of a time as I did during the first of my two part Blood Lust series! I thoroughly enjoyed all of your enthusiasm, openness and fantastic questions.

I can’t wait for Feb 18th and the opportunity to bring you the 2nd class in this fantastically hot series. Please be aware however that this next course will be significantly more intense so if you have any amount of queasiness around blood, you may find yourself needing to exit the room at some point during the workshop.

Additionally, for those who are interested, there will be a Women’s Only Gear Party immediately following Part 2 so dress to impress and wear your best Leather, fetish or uniform gear and get ready for an evening filled with amazing play with like minded women and yours truly! Also, Don’t forget! Those attending the Gear Party are comped into my Blood Lust Part 2 workshop! Just make sure to let them know that you’re RSVPing for both!. :)

This next week promises to be full of wickedly delightful sessions and amazing adventures and as always, I look forward to seeing you all soon!

Take care,

(Mistress) Shae Flanigan

This will be the first of a two part series discussing and exploring all the delightful avenues of blood-play.

During this first workshop we will be covering needles, puncturing, piercing technique, safety, best practices, hygiene, bio-hazard concerns and everything beginning blood-play enthusiasts need to know and some tips that even the most veteran of us can use refreshing on.

In the second workshop (coming in Feb) we will dive into how to get the most blood for your puncture buck…. so to speak. Cover topics like how to tell how much is -too- much and discuss all the delicious and sexy things that make the difference between “blood-play” and “blood-lust”.

I hope to see you there!

Mistress Shae Flanigan
