AUSTIN ABERNATHY
MR. FIREDANCER 2024
(he/him) Volunteer work is Austin’s core. His involvement benefits trans legal aid, voter registration, food pantries, queer services, HIV care, clothing drives, and immigration legal services. Austin founded VolunQueer, a social volunteer group rooted in direct-action community service. He loves working up a sweat logging manual labor hours, hosting fundraisers, and collaborating with community organizations for the greater good.
This witty, queer Leatherman keeps his hands busy repurposing pre-loved leather items, tailoring gear for others, sewing clothes, and cooking dairy-free meals. While he may not have a sense of smell, he loves tasting a musky, salty, and sweaty armpit. Tattoos are Austin’s favorite part of someone’s body. His favorite question isn’t “top or bottom;” it’s “what’s your favorite scary movie?”
DADDY BBEEFF
Daddy BBeeFF is a husband, dog dad, and community-rooted force whose presence blends service, leadership, and just the right amount of mischief. A self-described switch, leatherman, and kinkster—with a salt-and-pepper beard that tends to leave a lasting impression—he moves through the leather world with equal parts intention and irreverence.
He currently serves as President (Thoth ONYX) of ONYX Lone Star and as a mentor in the Dallas Mentors Program, where his work centers on growth, education, and creating spaces where authenticity isn’t negotiated—it’s expected.
As the owner of Funkytown Fists and founder of Team Friendly DFW, Daddy BBeeFF has long been committed to building environments that celebrate exploration while grounding it in respect and accountability. That same philosophy now extends into the House of Candor, an evolving framework rooted in truth, connection, and intentional relationships—reflecting his vision of chosen family and community built without pretense.
His service across the community includes roles with organizations such as Dallas Bears and Texas Master/slave, where he contributed through leadership support and operational roles, always grounded in respect for tradition and the people who uphold it.
In addition to his community impact, Daddy BBeeFF is the author of several published works, using his voice to explore identity, desire, power, and truth without apology.
Whether in a title, on a stage, or within the House he is building, Daddy BBeeFF brings experience, perspective, and just enough edge to keep things honest.
CHRISTOPHER, AKA THE HEAD PIG
Like all great legends, Christopher, aka The Head Pig, comes from a mythical island in the middle of the ocean. Boarding school and college in Toronto and then work, with a stint in the British Army, took him to UK and US throughout the 80’s and 90’s, finally settling in Dallas in 2000.
In those decades, Christopher found his love of Leather, BDSM, D/s, and M/s. His thirst for knowledge led to absorbing as much information, history, and folklore of the Leather community through historical texts, Beefcake magazines, and sharing space with his community. That thirst continues today, and he never tires of learning.
The Head Pig, aka Christopher, identifies as cis gay male submissive, friend, mentor, princess, business owner, community activist, event producer, and yes, Head Pig, in all senses of that. Recently widowed after an amazing 20 year marriage, Christopher has begun his journey into Hierarchy and empowerment as omega.
