2018 Pup Aspen

Mx Pup Aspen, hailing from Panama City, FL, now calls Wilton Manors, FL, home. Identifying as a GenderQueer Fetish Bootblack Pup, Aspen (they/them) is deeply embedded in the Latex, leather and kink communities. They currently hold the title of Mx Florida Rubber 2024, embodying their dedication and passion for the community. Aspen’s involvement spans various roles, including serving as a Board Member of the Florida Puppy Contest, where they were previously the 2018 Florida Puppy. They were an esteemed educator at LeatherWerks in Fort Lauderdale, sharing their knowledge on Pup Play, Pup Protocols & Rituals, Pup and Handler Power Exchange, Mummification, Breath Control, and Cigar Play. Their leadership was further demonstrated during their tenure as President of the South Florida Kennel Club from 2018 to 2022. Today, Aspen proudly holds the position of Associate Member of Onyx Deep South. Their journey into the kink community began over a decade ago, with a deeper dive into the Power Exchange dynamics around 10 years ago. The pillars of recovery in NA, Fetish & Leather, and community have been integral to Aspen's life, infusing their vibrant energy into every event where they volunteer. Aspen’s Bootblacking roots trace back to serving Leather Households as part of their Power Exchange dynamic, where they honed their skills in leather care and preservation. Under the mentorship of Dire Berrios in 2017, Aspen's passion for Bootblacking flourished, leading them to serve at various events, including Community S.O.L.E., Florida Leather & Fetish Pride, and the Florida Puppy Contest. They have also volunteered as a guest Bootblack at Fort Lauderdale's Ramrod bar, raising funds for travel and local groups. You’ll find them at home Bootblacking at the Wilton Manors Eagle, continuing to honor the history and stories of those they serve. When not Bootblacking, you’ll also find Aspen with a face beat for the goddess, strutting in heels and shiny latex. Through Bootblacking and beyond, Aspen found their true calling and heart in the KINK And Fetish community.
