As a service sub at her core, Emily finds great fulfillment in simply being useful, and she’s always irrepressibly eager to share her passion and knowledge about the things that bring her joy. When she’s not at her owner’s disposal, working a bootblacking stand at her local Washington, D.C. dungeon, or running workshops on leather care or recreational bum whackery, you can find her on FetLife as Pet_Emily: https://fetlife.com/users/118451
