Los Angeles, CA — This Saturday night, November 8th, Mistress Cyan is holding her annual charity “Slave Auction” where subbies, Masters, Mistresses, switches and lovers of kink put themselves on the block to help those in need.
Each year for twenty eight years, Mistress Cyan has held a food drive at her dungeon for Thanksgiving to help the homeless and in need during the holidays. Guests bring non-perishable food and canned goods in exchange for “auction money” to bid on volunteers who have put themselves up for auction. Her leather family at Sanctuary Studios coordinate with local food banks and charities to distribute the donations after the event.
Those looking to go on the block for a good cause fill out a questionnaire of their likes and dislikes, which are announced before bidding begins. This is all for kinky fun. There is no actual sex. Everything is negotiated, consensual, and all safewords will be respected.
“This is a Sanctuary Studios tradition,” explained Mistress Cyan, owner and founder of Sanctuary Studios.”The thought of people being hungry over Thanksgiving is a very disturbing thought for me. Over the years, our efforts have inspired local churches and groups to step up and donate to our cause, and the result was that more than 100,000 people have been fed because of what we’re doing.”
Grocery gift cards, new socks, new underwear, and clean blankets will be accepted as well. The food will be donated to The MCC Church in North Hollywood for distribution to the community. Non food items, such as toiletries, diapers, socks and blankets will also be donated to MCC in The Valley and The Sidewalk Project.
“Sometimes, guests will get together and pool their funds to bid on someone they really like,” added Mistress Cyan. “The auction is an exciting way to meet new kinky friends. Guests are also welcome to simply bring a donation and stay for the party at our spacious facility with themed playrooms.”
The doors for the party open at 8:00 P.M. at Sanctuary Studios, 13012 Athens Way, Los Angeles, CA 90061. Go to https://sanctuarylax.com/events/81169 for online ticket discounts and details. Additional suggestions for the food drive are at the event page.
