slave marsha

slave marsha, International slave 2001, has been involved in BDSM for more than a decade.  She has been slave to Master Jim for over 11 years, and before that was his “woman in service.”  slave marsha has presented numerous seminars on Master/slave relationships across the U.S. and Canada and is a co-owner of South Plains Leatherfest –International Master/slave Weekend and the International Master/slave Contest held in Dallas (www.southplainsleatherfest.com).  One of her favorite forms of service is riding her 2005 Harley-Davidson Softail Deluxe with Master Jim while singing “Born to Be Wild.”

slave marsha identifies sexually as a Femme leatherdyke, but her desire to serve transcends sexual orientation, making it possible for her to happily serve her Owner, a gay leatherman.  As a Femme leatherdyke, slave marsha is grateful that Master Jim allowed her to find her soul mate Cougar, a Butch leatherdyke, and in July 2006, slave marsha and Cougar were united as life mates in a Union Ceremony officiated by Master Jim.  Master Jim, slave marsha and Cougar joined together as a leather family in early 2007.
