The archiving and categorizing of our previously-streamed shows, as well as the bandwidth to store and stream the shows on demand, has a cost to us, and so we will be charging for access to our library to pay that cost.

Remember, the show is available for free when it's live and it will be repeated for free on our stream until the next live show, so if you can't or don't want to pay to listen, you don't have to. But if listening on demand is important to you, it will be available and, because you're on our list. you will be getting details in our very next newsletter coming within the next 24 hours.

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Debuts Three New Comic-inspired Scents At Exclusive Dark Delicacies Party

February 27, 2012 Los Angeles, CA: Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab (BPAL) is proud to present three limited edition scents in partnership with Hero Initiative:

• Dawn: Mourning Victory, part of BPAL’s Dawn line

• Cyborg, part of the Grendel line

• Magdalena, part of the Witchblade line.

The three scents will make their debut at a special party Thursday, March 15 at 7 p.m. at:

Dark Delicacies

3512 Magnolia Blvd.

Burbank, CA 91505

818-556-6660

All three perfume oils will retail for $26 each for a 5 ml bottle, and a portion of all proceeds will benefit Hero Initiative, the first federally recognized not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping comic book creators in medical and financial need.

Best of all, Dawn creator Joseph Michael Linsner and Top Cow Productions’ Echoes artist Rahsan Ekedal will be in attendance at the party! Don’t miss this exclusive evening to get your scents, sketches and signatures!

And fans of Matt Wagner’s Grendel will be able to pick up a copy of Hero Comics featuring a Grendel cover for a mere $1, a $4 value!

All three scents will be available to the general public starting April 4th, 2012 at www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com


"As an artist, I've spent the last 20 years trying to animate the world that Dawn lives in. I am thankful to BPAL for bringing another rich dimension of that reality to life,” said Joseph Michael Linsner, who will also be Hero Initiative’s guest all weekend at WonderCon in Anaheim, CA March 16-18.

“We love working with the Hero Initiative,” said Kathy Flynn of Black Phoenix. “All of us at BPAL are huge comic fans, so we really enjoy working with such fabulous creators, and introducing our customers to great comics they may have overlooked. And the cause is so worthwhile; it's something we all can get behind.”

Fetish Fun Returns while Winter Recedes

March is a busy month! There are fabulous outfits to be made for Miss Rubber World, (mine included!) I'm doing a latex demo at TES; hosting a Miss Rubber World meet and greet lubricated shopping/cocktail party; presenting an award at the Hookies Ball; MC'ing the Miss Rubber World competion, (where I'll present a selection of The Baroness' unique creations); as well as searching for the perfect venue for my new rubber party starting in April!!

Wednesday, March 21st, New York City: I'm presenting The Joy of Latex at TES! I will escort you into the exciting world of latex—from fetish to fashion—through sensuality, bondage, pain, and play. Practical questions will be answered, including the proper way to slide into tight latex (hint it involves lube!), along with proper care, maintenance, repair of latex.

I will also bring an assortment of bizarre latex accoutrements—as well as some gorgeous fashion pieces—requiring both victims and models. This evening will have something for both novices and the true latex pervert! And I'm looking forward to seeing you all.

TES is located at 260 West 36th Street, 3rd Floor, NYC. Doors open at 7:30 pm; meetings begin at 8 pm. TES Members and Students $4, Reciprocal Group Members $6, Non-Members $10. Additional information at www.tes.org.

Friday, March 23rd, NYC: It's our Miss Rubber World meet and greet/ lubricated shopping cocktail party and sale!

You should already have your outfits planned and tickets purchased (on sale at my boutique) before then, but if not, come and mingle, drink champagne, nibble on snacks, socialize, and receive 20% off all in-stock latex, and up to 50% off already-discounted sale items! From 7-10pm at 530 B East 13th Street between Avenues A & B, New York City. (Plan your purchases at www.Baroness.com)

Friday March 23rd (right after my cocktail party), NYC: I'm rushing off to present the Best Fetish Escort award at The Hookies 2012 International Escort Awards held at the Roseland Ballroom, 239 West 52nd St.

Red Carpet 9pm, Awards 10pm. Additional information at www.thehookies.com.

Saturday, March 24th, NYC: Miss Rubber World 2012

This event gets better each year, the prizes are incredible, and the competition is fierce—both on and off stage—so you will need to dress to really impress (if you fail to plan ahead, be sure to take advantage of our lubricated shopping cocktail party and sale).

Once again I will be the MC for the evening and will also show a small collection of Baroness latex fashions. People travel for this event and it's great for latex people-watching!

Enjoy!
