Our Kink Our Kink

With Oz kink Fest only one sleep away, MisKnickers ventured into the heart of Brunswick to visit Q Space, an integral part of Oz Kink Fest 2018. Q Space will host workshops, exhibitions, events, and the Oz Kink Fest Launch Party. While the OKF crew were busy setting up for the week ahead, MisKnickers got some one-on-one time with Mz Mallice (Oz Kink Fest Creator and Organiser), Wayne Nicol (owner of Lucrezia & DeSade, Q Space major sponsor and long time OKF Collaborator), and Angela Biscotti (artist and curator of Oz Kink Fest Exhibition Sex on your Sleeve).



If you're getting hyped for Oz Kink Fest 2018 and want to hear more about what to expect, events to look out for, and gain a unique insight into OKF from the perspective of its creators, sponsors, and participants, dive into this latest Our Kink podcast and get the goss!

In Episode 34 of the Our Kink Podcast, MisKnickers catches up with Peter Martin and Dani Natale from PM Leather to talk about PM Leather, and how they have grown to be much more than a supplier of quality leather hobble belts. Hear about the history and growth of PM Leather, and the remarkable ability both Peter and Dani to reach people via social media. And of course, they share their plans for Oz Kink Fest, and the wonder that is Fetish Expo.



We also catch up with ProDom/me, rope artist, rock star, and recent Our Kink Sponsor, Sai Jaiden Lillith, who gives us a sneak peak into some of the shenanigans they hope to encourage with performances and presentations throughout Oz Kink Fest. Listen in to find out what they're bringing to the party this year, and why they're so glad to be back.

Listen in as MisKnickers catches up with Sprinkle from Sprinkle Emporium (recorded live from the very stunning shop and studio on Lygon st) to discuss her new leather range for fetish fashionistas - Yes Mz by Sprinkle and what it's like to be facing the Fetish Expo 2018 Grand Fashion Parade for the very first time...



In contrast, we also talk to long-time Fashion Parade contributor, Aunty EJ from Fantasy Fair Adult Play Wear, who's been part of the parade since day one.



Learn more about these wonderful individuals and their contribution to the worlds of both kink and fashion, and discover why we love them.

In this episode MisKnickers is joined by resident Our Kink button-pusher Loke, to discuss an incredible innovation in kink safety. We speak with special guest Elle, who is part of team developing a new app called No Grey. In what is more than likely a world first, No Grey aims to enhance the way we negotiate, and gives users the opportunity to lay out the framework and boundaries of each scene negotiation for all participants with ease.



We were really excited to learn more about No Grey, and Elle talked us through its features, as well as giving us some examples of how the app can be used, from sharing broad interests to begin a discussion to negotiating specifics of a scene, indicating our experience levels with different tools and types of play, through setting limits and goals to ensure participants understand their roles and responsibilities thoroughly.



We also delved into some background to understand better how the idea came about, why Elle thinks you should try the app, and what you can expect in terms of ease of use, accessibility, and security of the app.



Curious? So were we! Have a listen, and visit nogrey.club/ to learn more, and to download the app!

This week we returned to one of our favourite haunts to spend some time with one of our favourite sponsors, the inimitable Wayne from Lucrezia & De Sade. Wayne is never short of a story or twelve and he doesn't disappoint in this podcast, taking us on a winding, non-linear journey through the history of L&D, including a time when he had never dreamed of retailing kink and leather goods, and how all that changed in one night, thanks to a certain pop sensation.



Interest piqued? There's more ... latex nuns and reasonable men, a purple dungeon, duelling policemen, and some lessons on how to combat bureaucracy from left of centre. Oh, and there's the sex, religion, and politics. Just listen. You may regret it if you don't.

We visited Counsellor, Sex Therapist, Educator, Author, Workshop Facilitator, and wearer of one thousand hats, Jeremy Shub.



We could have talked with Jeremy for days about every topic under the Sun, but specifically we wanted to ask about his upcoming Queer Flirting workshop. Starting with the basics of what actually constitutes flirting, how it differs between people and cultures, and moving to the unique challenges for Queer identifying people, how the principles of consent impact our flirting, navigating the vast range of different attractions and desires and more, including Jeremy's upcoming book, Sex Positive Now.
