Julian Wolf Julian Wolf co-founded NM:TNG with Jesse back in December of 2002 and has been Chairman of the Board and lead facilitator since his departure in March of 2003. Julian has been out as kinky since 1999 and active in our community for many years. In addition to her work with NM:TNG, she is a long time member of AEL, and is a charter and board member of the New Mexico Leather League. She was the first person to be awarded the new title of Ms Rio Grande Leather (2004), and was Ms New Mexico Pride 2006-2007. As an educator and performer, she travels the region either presenting her performance art, or teaching classes on everything from 101 to advanced wax play. In addition to her community service, Julian is the first daughter of the Wolf Family, the Prince of the Lady Heather, Princess Frida and others, and is a Leather Sibling, among other things. She is very focused on the D/s aspects of life and still manages to find time to play. When she is not with her extended Leather Family, you can find her frequently producing shows and events, lending a hand to the local Indy Film makers or spending time at her home and play space, The MadHouse.  You are welcome to follow her adventures at Julian's Live Journal, check out Julian's Personal Website, veiw her project Leather Queer and/or email her via the NM:TNG Yahoo! Group.

In February of 2006 a curious and somewhat apprehensive young man attended his first NM:TNG meeting and to his surprise, he found himself thrown into a group of people which he found to be goofy, fun and personable. Over the next month, he continued his research of "the lifestyle" and dove in head first at his next meeting. Within a few months this young man was given the name/title of crrreature and he found himself actively volunteering, demo-bottoming and exploring alternative lifestyles in ways he hadn't expected. Two years later we find that this same young man has co-founded and is establishing the Leather Scouts, he is a coalition partner representative and avid fundraiser for the NCSF, he is an educator and a player and he holds the tile of Mr. Rio Grande Leather 2008, and is also NM:TNG's Sgt. of Arms. (Not to mention that his passion for medical and blood play has raised more than one eyebrow here in New Mexico and beyond.) This is a challenging ride to say the least, what with all of the above, school and work, but with crrreature's constant thoughts of the future, it will certainly stay nice and exciting.

The Lady Heather After arriving in New Mexico in 2004 (after years of travel), she was slowly introduced to a whole new world. Years later have found her attending events such as Rio Grande Leather, Spring Pandemonium, volunteering for both TNG and ABQ Pride, on stage and dubbed "Lady" by her Prince Julian. Surprised and happy to find herself poly, kinky and at home, the Lady Heather is happy to be a part of NM:TNG, and hopes to continue for years to come. She joined the board of TNG and became Treasurer and Volunteer Coordinator in 2006. She was collared in 2007 by the Lady Sundra and is happily exploring her role as girl. She is pleased and honored to be learning and growing in such a variety of ways, including both working as a leader and serving.

Jenny Rice came out as queer and kinky as a teenager in Colorado. Though she found a welcoming GLBT community there, it wasn't until her move to New Mexico that she found a thriving and supportive Leather Community. Through her journey of learning how to navigate non-traditional relationships with few role models, she has undergone many years of work and training in self knowledge and communication techniques. She is an active volunteer and supporter of the New Mexico Leather Community, and is co-founder of the Leather Scouts, and has been the board of NM:TNG since 2007, taking on the role of Secretary in the Spring of 2008. In her personal life she was just accepted to a PhD program in biology, is a co-owner of Sunflower River (an organic farm), and enjoys a challenging and rewarding M/s relationship with her boypet Tristan.

Frida Moreno (also known as Princess Frida) serves the community in a myriad of ways- as an educator, performer, facilitator, and as a good (or bad, depending on your perspective) example. She is infamous for playing the way she wants to play, being the princess that she is, and being a political force to recon with. She has held the title of Ms New Mexico Pride, and is a fashion designer and model. An active member of NM:TNG since 2004, Frida has been an intricate part of both the education and socialization of the group and is currently serving on the board as the Diplomat. In addition to her academic and professional accomplishments, she is the proud owner of her very own Leather kitty (Saint) and is and always has been a fetishist.

Mel-Doll discovered kink in 2001.  At the age of 19, completely new and looking for connections, she had a difficult time finding other kinky folk she could identify with.  Finally, in 2004, she exploded into the Leather community through NM:TNG.  Mel-Doll works very closely with Julian as an assistant, visual aid, performance prop, and all-around companion.  She also serves NM:TNG as mascot and web-bitch.  If you keep up with local events, you can see Mel-Doll perform at various events or even catch one of her workshops on SM101, After-care for Tops, or Erotic Dancing.

Lee has been an active member of TNG since 2003 where she was informed that she is not straight, but "Leather Queer." Her involvement with kink dated far before her first visit to TNG. She is not in a D/s relationship with her husband "The Ogre" but they do enjoy an active play life. They occasionally host outside play events and she is always willing to demo bottom at the various events we hold in New Mexico, in addition to volunteering for Albuquerque Pride, Rio Grande Leather and a myriad of shows. She worked as an active member of the TNG board in 2006. She, and her... figure... are a warm addition to our group.

Saint Saint found TNG in October of 2006; Age 21, totally naive and in search of new things, when he found TNG he jumped in with both feet. Through TNG he met the Princess Frida and they have been happy together ever since. Saint is identified as a Poly, Homo-Flexible Male Submissive Leather Kitty and has written documentation on the concept he calls Leather Kitty. Saint's Website is http://www.myspace.com/saintly1.

Jeremy (Morphius Bastet) is interested in all different kinds of lifestyles, so he goes to NM:TNG and helps with Tell Us About the Rabbits in hopes of learning something new or gaining a new perspective. He considers himself a voyeur because he prefers to watch and contemplate the kink, but participates occasionally for better understanding. He is a fan-boy and thinks full makeup female aliens, robots, demons and any other Sci-Fi characters are insanely hot. He loves to wear big black boots, spikes, nail polish, fake fangs, and the smell of leather. He is kind of Vanilla compared to most in the group; but not quite--maybe French Vanilla or vanilla with raspberry swirls. To learn more about him go to: his website.

Sara is NM-TNG's resident leprechaun...She is fairly quiet but will explode into flames if dressed in pink. She's is queer, poly, masochistic, and somewhat submissive. She misses the east coast but has been glad to find new friends in New Mexico (where she will be through at least December of 2008 while she pursues a Master's Degree in Water Resource Management).

Jermey AKA "The Ogre" is like an onion... he has layers and he can make you cry. (He has also been an active member of TNG since 2003 where he was informed that he is not straight, but "Leather Queer." He and his wife host and attend parties for TNG and the Leather Community. Handy with tools, he has brought in various toys of his own manufacturing to our events, where we have ever so kindly obliged him by finding appropriate bottoms. He can also take a solid hit- not that we would know anything about that.)

Hannah: Our newest member turned active volunteer is Hannah; world traveler, hiker, owner of sixty seven pairs of shoes and active flirt. She is currently in one romantic relationship, but is unlikely to turn down a date. Hannah has a history of serious academic pursuits and a variety of hobbies from cooking to dancing. Her two cats live with her here in Albuquerque where she participates not only with NM:TNG but also finds the time to volunteer her time at Los Poblanos Organics amid her dynamic social life which is generally as full as chooses it to be. You can catch her in front of or behind a camera, working on a myriad of creative crafts and as the first official Booth Babe that TNG has ever had.
