Adrian from Berlin
Kinky Salon Confessions
Adrian is a founding member of the core team at Kinky Salon Berlin. He's one of those people who likes to deconstruct experiences and build new ones from the parts. He's a thinker, a doer, and a true community builder, and having visited almost as many Kinky Salons as I have he has a unique perspective on the global community.

Christina is studying us!
Kinky Salon Confessions
This episode things get super intellectual as I interview Christina Bazzaroni, the PhD (ABD) who is studying Kinky Salon. We started out being her lab rats but then she went native! She's part of the team that set up Kinky Salon in New York and she's been all over the world interviewing the community leaders in all the different cities for her dissertation. She's real smart. The photo is of us in Berlin. She's deeeep in her research dressed as a pirate to blend in. It's purely professional. Ahem.
