Sprite
show and tell
Sprite was born in Pennsylvania and has also lived in Washington, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Maryland, Mexico and now Nevada. Their family traveled a lot due to work. Of all their homes, Mexico was an amazing experience and they will always remember it with fondness.
Sprite has been exploring kink online for 9 years but has only been able to get "hands on experience" in the past three years. They have had relationships with a few different Doms as a bratty submissive.
They only recently began to fully embrace their little side because past Doms were not comfortable with age play, but they feel a special connection through their core when they give themself the freedom to be little, especially around other littles.
As far as things they enjoy to do, they are an aspiring author and in the process of publishing a fantasy novel series. They love penpaling (with pen and paper), coloring, binge watching the entirety of Netflix's arsenal, collecting plushies and pacis, writing, and getting spanked for hours on end.

Hormones, Health, and Happiness
 Our hormones have dramatic effects on our minds and bodies. We have the
medical technology to change our hormone levels dramatically, to almost
any profile we choose.


But what changes, if any, should we make? What should our levels be,
what's the best way to get them there, and what are the risks and benefits?
Whether you're a trans person considering hormones and blockers, a cis
person considering TRT or HRT, you've got mental or physical health
issues you suspect might be due to hormone imbalance or deficiency, or
you're already on hormones or hormone-altering drugs and trying to
optimize your regimen, you probably have a lot of questions! But it's
difficult to get a doctor's time to ask them...and even then, many
doctors don't seem to have a lot of answers.


~What do all those numbers on my hormone panel mean?
~The "normal ranges" seem really huge. How do I know where I should be?
~I feel really depressed and low energy. Could my hormone levels be to
blame?
~Is my dosage too high or too low?
~Does time of day matter for pills? If I'm injecting, how often should I?
~Should I be changing my diet or activities along with my hormones? How
can I best support the changes I'm trying to achieve?
~How do I get my levels tested, if my doctor won't test me or I don't
have insurance?


This will be both a short presentation and a longer Q&A session,
directed towards the specific situations and needs of the attendees.
(Disclaimer: I will answer all questions as best I can, but I am not
your doctor. Only you can decide what to do, and you alone are
responsible for your decisions.)

Queen Ana Algos
Silver Scenes
Queen Ana Algos is excited to be teaching with all these wonderful kinksters! She identifies as
an Ethically Polyamourous, Sadomasochistic, Pansexual, Black, Leather, Pro-Dominantrix, Collared Submissive, and Top Heavy Switch. Queen Ana is based in Southern California and works out of Sanctuary Studios LAX. She is also Ms. Sanctuary Leather 2020 and 2021.
Her specialities include Verbal Domination, Heavy Impact, Service, Degradation, Humiliation, CBT, Knife Play, and hosting BDSM parties. At Sanctuary Studios LAX pre-pandemic, Queen Ana hosted two parties, the members-only party Club Inferno and the body-positive, performance-based party The ChamPAIN Room. She wanted a party that had an educational component to it so Club Inferno had two classes offered before the playrooms opened. The ChamPAIN Room was established as a body-positive, strip club, performance- based type of party. People are invited to perform on stage and the audience throws money at the stage and the money gets donated to the charity of the performers choice. The playrooms are open so people could play and see some wonderful acts that could include fire dancing, burlesque, pole dancers, strippers, drum circles, comedians, etc.
As a professional BDSM worker, Queen Ana enjoys talking to clients through Sext Panther and Niteflirt. She likes teaching because she enjoys talking to people and helping others feel welcomed and safe. BDSM education should not be a secret and she excels at making people feel accepted, important, and at helping people understand they have power, no matter what side of the slash they may be.
