Vic-PAH

Pepper


Pepper is co-owner and business manager of Eagle Leather, a BDSM, Leather and Latex store that has been servicing the Australian fetish community for the last 30 years.  


Pepper has been heavily involved in the BDSM scene for over two decades, starting out her fetish career as a bottom at Eagle Leather's seminars and workshops for several years as well as orchestrating BDSM classes all around Australia alongside Sado BJ.   These days Pepper pokes her fingers in a lot of pies, from admin to marketing to team leadership; and you’ll often see her in store elbow deep in a bucket of Lux as she polishes another shipment of latex bound for Eagle Leather's extensive Rubber Room.  


As the cheekier half of the kinky duo Sado Pop, Pepper performed some seriously messy (and messed up) performances down under, featuring everything from sex crazed clowns to latex-clad aliens.  A hallmark of Sado Pop performances became a guessing game of which unexpected liquid might shoot out of what unexpected hole.  Sado Pop fans soon learned not to sit in the front row at her shows, unless they wanted a shower.

Pepper is also the co-creator of Eagle Leather's inclusive fetish techno event FANTASTIC, an anything goes party that is renowned for being extremely wild and immersive, and featuring some of the world's best DJs and most groundbreaking performers.  


Pepper has been lucky enough to judge several contests around the globe, including the Melbourne Rubberman and Melbourne Rubber Contests, Mr and Ms Adelaide Leather Contests, and the Bay Area Rubber Title Elections in San Francisco.  But the cherry on top was being invited to judge the most prestigious of rubber contests, Mr International Rubber, in Chicago in 2022. 

In her personal life, Pepper is extremely open minded and lives by the phrase "Do Whatever Feels Good".  She identifies as a hedonist and a switch, into big toys, strap ons, high heels, age play, piss, fisting, squirting, spanking, canes, leather, cuckold, bondage, discipline, D/s, electro, chastity, degradation, pay pigs, anything that deviates into territory that is a little bit quirky and obscene and  - of course -  especially LATEX.


SA-PAH

Sparky


Hi all, I’m Sparky from SA-PAH, They/Them, Gay, Poly, and cheeky.


I first got into pup play back in 2017 when I met my now partner/handler, according to my handler I was adorable then but am now a chaos gremlin. My first kink event was APHC 2017 less than a month after my first pup play interaction and I was super shy and nervous but everyone was lovely! I competed at APHC in 2018 and 2019 which was an absolute blast and made a bunch of new friends. I am a SA-PAH committee member and help to set up SA-PAH events and like to try to help others feel comfortable at events. 


I’m a bit of a gaymer who likes to wear quirky t-shirts and I am very easily distracted! I’m always happy to chat, answer questions or give the (occasional) chop or belly button poke.

SYD-PAH

Switchstress Margo


Switchstress Margo is a professional Dominant/submissive Switch from Sydney, NSW, and the current Ms Leather-Sydney titleholder. 


As well as being a huge fan of pup-play and having many friends within the Sydney Pup-play community; she professionally grooms dogs as a day job and shows her miniature schnauzer ("Mortimer") competitively. To say Margo lives and breathes all things canine would not be an understatement...
