Mistress Khiki Mistress Khiki learned the hanky code from the back of "Bob Damron's Address Book" when she was fifteen and she's been flagging ever since. Visiting and trying to get into those Leather/Sm "coded clubs" listed in the book and reading magazines like Drummer made her salivate and search for places where the Leather Community gathered. Just a few years later she would find, and be accepted by, the Old Guard men at the Atlanta Eagle - no small thing at that time for a woman. She was mentored and trained in the protocols and etiquette that she holds dear and passes on to this day. Mistress Khiki is proud to be a founding member of the Southeast Leatherfest Executive Committee and recipient of a 2002 Jack Stice Community Service award. Among her titles are International Master, 1999, the first Ms. Atlanta Eagle (1995) and Ms. Georgia Leather, 1996. Always outspoken, but willing to listen and learn, she has been active since the early '90's in the Atlanta, Southeast regional and national Leather and Master/slave communities as a Master, Owner, presenter, judge, and mentor.
