Lukas Zpira ( France ):
Whether it is to tear itself out from its initial condition, to mark its membership or a fundamental step in life, mankind has always used rituals. We therefore inscribe ourselves in an offspring that takes its source since the dawn of time. But let us not be mistaken (Lukas Zpira 00).
Lukas is one of the world's most recognised body modification artists. His last visit to New Zealand with partner Satomi was in 2004.

Lady Xanthi and her pony Rivendell (Chch):
Rivendell is Christchurch 's very own human pony. See the control that his Trainer, Lady Xanthi has over him as he performs various pony play routines.
Pony play is a powerful form of BDSM role-play. It is an exchange of power between two people, one who assumes the Trainer role (Top) and the other who becomes the human pony (bottom). In such role-play, the human pony has none of the responsibilities and privileges associated with being a person. The Trainer has the responsibility of looking after the pony, including proper care and training. The rewards of such role-play include the pleasure of pleasing, the trust and companionship bond formed between Trainer and pony, and, it is a lot of FUN!

Uncommon Bonds (Chch):
Uncommon Bonds is based in Christchurch . It is a non-profit pansexual organisation that brings together a lively, creative and fun-loving group of people with wide-ranging interests in BDSM.
