Mistress Ynhared from Xcentricities in need

By Dan Ericksonian

If there was a legacy of fashion that lived among us in the world of Leather conventions, it would have to be Mistress Ynhared from Xcentricities. She supplied the Leather world the best corsets of masterful construction, made in sizes that real people wore. In the last 20 years, you probably tried one on. These were not resold from suppliers - these were all made by her hand. In Late January she was diagnosed with cancer and is battling that with grace and effort. She had surgery and the prognosis is good. She hopes to be back making corsets for the kink world again. As in life, extra expenses come up, but in cancer treatment, the costs stack quickly. Any amount will count toward keeping her fed and alive while she's going through chemotherapy. There is a go fund me page titled Roses for Yna.
