Sanctuary Studios Celebrates Official Reopening with Party on May 13, 2023

Los Angeles, CA — Mistress Cyan is proud to announce that Sanctuary Studios has officially reopened at their new venue in Los Angeles and are celebrating in style with a kinky party this Saturday, May 13, at 9:00pm.

Sanctuary Studios is one of the longest running and largest BDSM safe spaces in Southern California. The venue hosts kinky classes, parties, LGBTQ+ fundraisers, meetings for the leather community, and has been a location for film and video production.

“This very special night marks the start of a new chapter in the Sanctuary legacy,” explained Mistress Cyan, Founder and Owner of Sanctuary Studios. “We started in 1999 as a weekly fetish night at a club in the San Fernando Valley, and we’ve served the leather community since, with a rented location in Reseda, then later by LAX. In 2022, we made the decision to scrape together every penny to purchase a property. In January of this year, we got the keys to the new home for Sanctuary Studios. While we know we will never be ‘finished,’ we feel that it’s time to start this new chapter with a celebration, and we are inviting our kinky friends across Southern California to attend.”

The reopening party will feature stage performances, open play rooms, a complimentary BBQ, and free drawings for prizes, including tickets for the upcoming event, DomCon Los Angeles..

Mistress Cyan Talks about DomCon on Sex, Sin and Sensibility Podcast

World Wide Web — Mistress Cyan was recently a special guest on the Sex, Sin and Sensibility Podcast to discuss the upcoming expo, DomCon Los Angeles, along with the Sanctuary Studios play space and her work as a BDSM educator.

The Sex, Sin, and Sensibility podcast is a labor of love hosted by Ms Drea Deville, and Lady D. The Lady Libertines discuss all smutty possibilities, ranging from BDSM and sex work, to puppies and butt stuff. The hostesses divulge the history of our favorite kinks and fetishes, educate the curious, and ask the guests to spill their hottest scenes.

Mistress Cyan was introduced to the Lifestyle in 1989, and through years of commitment to helping others, has since become a well respected leader in the Los Angeles BDSM and leather communities. Cyan pushed hard for transgender acceptance in the Los Angeles fetish scene. She’s also known for her work organizing and hosting fundraisers for local charities. She regularly teaches classes, mentors others, and speaks at academic institutions such as Stanford University, CSUN, UCLA and Occidental College on the subject of consensual BDSM.

Cyan is not afraid to set new standards, break new ground or accept responsibility. DomCon Los Angeles is part of her vision to change the perception of BDSM professionals in the leather community. The convention begins with business to business seminars addressing legal issues, taxes, health, and techniques for professionals and sex workers, then expands to the kinky public with social events, performances, classes and an exhibition of the latest kinky products.

“It was a pleasure to talk with Ms. Drea Deville and Lady D,” said Mistress Cyan. “This is the 20th anniversary of DomCon Los Angeles. We have so much for guests this year. On the BDSM safety side, we have a new class on CPR, which includes certification. Max Candy is debuting his documentary, “tOuch Kink” at our show, and we have more vendors lined up for this expo than ever before. You don’t want to miss this!”

While this is Mistress Cyan’s first guest appearance, Sex, Sin and Sensibility podcast has had many DomCon alumni on as guests, such as Jade Desires, Alice in Bondageland, Submiss Ann, Mistress Damiana Chi, Ph.D. and fetish photographer Sweet Girl Julia.

The episode with Mistress Cyan debuts Wednesday, April 26 on www.sexsinandsensibility.com and can also be found on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Anne Bryne of The Dungeon Store Whips Up Article on Retailing Violet Wands for Xbiz

Los Angeles, CA — Anne Bryne, Founder and Co-Owner of The Dungeon Store, recently wrote an article for Xbiz.com on violet wands and things to consider when selling them in retail stores.

“With pretty tubes filled with neon colors, arcing electricity with an ear-tingling crackle and zap, violet wands look futuristic and exciting,” explains Bryne in the article. “A violet wand is in essence a sexy radio transmitter, pumping out electrons. When the wand touches skin, the electricity moves across the skin as opposed to through the body.”

While violet wands have been around for over 100 years, they only started making their way into the pleasure product market in the mid 90s, through experimentation in the BDSM scene. In the 2000s, a major transition came about as solid state violet wands began to replace older, mechanical models. These have made the curious toys more affordable to the kinky community and practical as a pleasure product.

Anne Bryne has over 20 years of experience with violet wands. She sells them, teaches classes on how to use them, and even co-produced educational videos on violet wand techniques. Her company, The Dungeon Store, makes many violet wand accessories in house.

“There’s a lot of discussion about them in the BDSM scene, and my hope is this article makes retailers more likely to embrace violet wands as a pleasure product,” notes Bryne. “Violet wands are a very stimulating instrument in the bedroom and it’s a delight to help everyone understand more about these daring devices.”

The full article can be found at https://www.xbiz.com/features/271640/how-to-introduce-retail-customers-to-violet-wands.

This weekend, The Dungeon Store will be in Connecticut, showing at the sold out exhibition, Tethered Together. For distribution, retail opportunities, and affiliate programs regarding The Dungeon Store, email sales@thedungeonstore.com.

Sanctuary Studios LAX is a safe space for consensual BDSM and the LGBTQ+ community, and has a long, rich history in Southern California. Originally founded as a private dungeon in 1999 in Reseda, Mistress Cyan opened the facility for the needs of the Leather scene and supported the community at large with food and toy drives for those in need. In 2011, the club was rebranded as Sanctuary Studios LAX, when it moved to a large location near Los Angeles International Airport, making it one of the largest BDSM safe spaces in the United States.

The new facility is fully air-conditioned and heated, and it is easily accessible from the 110 and 405 freeways. It is spacious and will offer fetish enthusiasts fully equipped play space, with a full range of BDSM furniture and equipment, including bondage beds, St. Andrew’s crosses, and spanking benches.

“We’re excited to offer a new and improved space for our community and clients to explore their desires and indulge in their kinks,” said Mistress Cyan. “Our new location offers a more comfortable and accommodating environment, with larger rooms to play and experiment in.”

Awakening will be one of the first parties held at the new space in March. Coming soon will be Communion, Club Edge, Kinky Karaoke and the new Diamond Party. The space will also be available for rentals, with Gentlemen in Charge already planning ahead for their return events. The venue will also be available for video and film shoots.
