Sassy (she/her)
Managing Director
Sassy (sassy_masochist) entered the kink scene in 2015, and quickly discovered a love for both topping and bottoming. She was primarily drawn to rope bondage and over the years, she has had the opportunity to learn many different styles of rope from around the world and is always eager for new educational opportunities. Coming from a professional background in teaching, Sassy became an educator in the kink community early in her rope journey and has taught and performed for many organizations and events, including Dark Odyssey, Tethered Together, EURIX, TES, Shibari VA, Upline Studio, Bound in Boston, the Kit Kat Club, and Exxxotica Expo.
In 2023, Sassy co-founded SMart Boston Collab and now organizes and teaches rope and kink events in the Boston area. In her curriculum, Sassy aims to destigmatize kink and help kinksters make adjustments in their play to accommodate their body’s specific needs. Always looking to improve her skills and develop her own style, Sassy considers herself a lifelong student and is eager to keep teaching, learning, and collaborating with her community in the future.

She’s passionate about exploring inclusivity in rope, particularly representation of fat folks and bodies of all different abilities.
Cindy (she/her)
Digital & Event Operations Coordinator
Cindy (TheSeize) is a queer bottom who first became active in the Boston scene in 2017 with the intention of creating community and being in rope as much as possible. Besides connecting with people through bottoming experiences, she seeks to encourage an emphasis on honesty, communication, and consent in Boston kink spaces. She co-founded Waltham Rope in 2019, which has since become Wicked Rope after the pandemic. At these rope shares you may have seen her facilitating what she calls ‘Rope Snacks’, a lightweight unconference style that allows education and practice to coexist with a playfully tying. She adds skills with administration, facilitation, and tech expertise to the team, making things run smarter so the team does not have to work harder.
