About Me....

Diva, Educator, Princess, Activist, Fashionista for the rest of us…Nina Love.

Like many of us, I woke up one day to realize that I didn’t know who I was.  I was pretending to be a corporate trainer on the fast track to career success and a slow heterosexual, monogamous death by boredom.   So, in 2006 I left behind my cushy but confining corporate job at Johns Hopkins to become a full time Independent Consultant and Educator. After completely immersing myself in the alternative lifestyle community I could no longer deny that I fail to identify with any of the stereotypical BDSM terminology. I now rely heavily on communication and self expression to develop and maintain rich relationships with my “poly/leather family”, including: my Husband/Sir/Daddy/Best Friend/puppy daddy/jackass Arthur Hate and my girl Gwendolyn.

Part of my identity has become to give back to my community is supporting a variety of efforts that promote individuality and freedom of expression. I love expressing myself through fashion and helping others to do the same. From teaching “How to Walk in High Heels” to “Fashion Tips for Kinky Boys and Girls on a Budget” I strive to release the inner diva from everyone I mentor. I believe that relying too heavily on labels prevents us from finding and appreciating individuality. However, if forced to classify myself, I will grudgingly admit to being a Princess, sadist, cranky-people hater, little girl, Dominant, Matriarch, Sister, Friend, needy-Bitch, lover, obsessive-compulsive over achiever with control issues...and occasionally nice.
