Master Dante has been formally active in M/s for 20 years and owner of Slave Gaia Amor for 15, a polyamorous Master/slave relationship by design from its inception. This expanded into a polyfidelitous household when Sarah Amor joined his leather family and again when Coco entered his service in 2020.

Loquacious pusher of buttons, tipper of sacred cows, and a certified clinical hypnotherapist for over two decades. When it comes to authority-based relationships, Dante has always focused on the emotional, psychological, and interpersonal dynamics first and foremost.

A firm believer that mastery is a continual work in progress requiring ongoing self-inquiry, personal development, vulnerability, and a willingness to support others, he is currently in service to the community as:

• Host – Our Leather Legacy

She is the Treasurer and Secretary of MAsT: Metro New York, Operations Staff for The Poly Exchange, an associate member of the Onyx Pearls NY/NE, and proudly supports House Amor, her polyfidelitous household, in all its endeavors.

I’ve been involved in the M/s and leather communities for so long that I just did the math, and it scared me! It was 28 years ago that I was the first Ms. Atlanta Eagle.

I’ve been around, done some things, held some titles, been involved in some organizations, and I’m still here to tell my version of the truth; perception is everything.

In my day-to-day life, I’m a conversation and leadership coach working on my MS in psychology. When I have the time, I love fly fishing and exploring the forests, rivers, and streams in the beautiful mountains around Asheville, NC. When I can’t get outside, I play EQ2 or drive the household crazy playing my guitar and banjo.
