Date: Thu, 07 May 1998 16:56:08 -0700 From: Eros Publishing Subject: Press Release Letter to the editor, February 5th, 1998 I decided to run for Washington State Ms Leather. Having been very sick and incredibly blessed by so many people's care and support, the contest seemed the perfect opportunity to thank people for the tremendous gift they had given me. May 2nd, 1998 I was astounded when I actually won the Washington State Ms Leather title. I am compelled to thank all those generous people I've leaned on throughout the contest preparations. First and foremost i must thank my Master, Erik, who has guided me as a Daddy, loved me as a Partner, taught me as a Mentor and hurt me as the fabulous sadist He is. i am forever changed by His presence in my life, may i always make Him proud. The people I thank next had a terrific impact on my performance as a contestant. P. my diligent and loving slave, Spencer my savvy historian, and JB my toppish coach. Thank you. Great big THANK YOU's go to the fantastic prison players of my fantasy (Janet, JB, Ralph, Patricia, Artemis and Sean) --thank you for stepping through your reasons and publicly behaving tremendously silly. My heartfelt thanks go to my sponsors: Elena and Beyond the Edge Cafe for the generous use of the piano, the practice space, your employees and the unwavering moral support you've always supplied me with. Tonya and Erika of Winter/Couture, thank you for making me look better than I would have ever dreamed possible! Without the following organizations and staff, the contest simply would not exist. My thanks to: Generic Leather Productions for creating this title and giving me the tremendous opportunity I'm now privy to. The judges who's time and expertise were invaluable. The production staff, producers of the show, stage, sound and lighting crew who made the show look so good and run so smoothly. The documentation of the event and the application photos Charlie Daniels supplied me with -- will, without a doubt, create lasting impressions. The sponsors and the hosting businesses - your generosity and hospitality were greatly appreciated. Lastly I'd like to thank all those loud cheering masses who attended the contest and exemplified the feeling of family I spoke of during the contest, I shone in reflection of your brilliance. Thank you! Eileen Washington State Ms Leather 1998 http://www.wolfenet.com/~aubrey/aubrey.htm
