Proudly Presents
Eroticizing The Boot
Presented by Bear
You've seen it at your local dungeon, that scene that catches your eye. A strong figure of a man or woman standing proud as another is down on the ground licking their boots or groveling at their feet as a boot is pressed to their flesh. Maybe you have wondered “what is that all about?” You can't deny the power, the beauty and eroticism of that image. There are many layers of meaning in such a simple act as kissing a boot. Not only is it hot and erotic, but it is also an amazing show of deep respect and honor to the one wearing the boot.
Join the current Southwest Bootblack 2012 titleholder, Bear, as she explains how to eroticize the boot a Top wears and conversely how to reward with sadistic glee the bottom who adores you or at least your boots. Bear will explain the ins and outs of boot worship from the basics of cleaning the boot and getting a shine on, to boot licking and to the safest way to leave your mark upon those who worship the very ground you walk on.
This will be an interactive class so feel free to wear your boots, bring a partner and be prepared to have an erotic afternoon.

(presented by Sin-der-Ellie)
