Kelly "Cheshire" McBride

Kelly "Cheshire" McBride has long been known as the "Sex Lady" at Starwood offering free condoms, campfire Q&A, and workshops on a variety of issues over the past 18 years. Her experience in the Kinsey Institute archives, as a Planned Parenthood educator/trainer and at her curent position in the Women's Health division of a medical devices company has prepared her to answer your questions both serious and amusing. She has focused her education on both the mainstream (Parent Child Communication, Domestic Violence, and Pregnancy Prevention) as well as the fringes (BDSM, Sex Workers, Polyamory, Gender and Fetishes). Join her at one of her workshops, enjoy a free condom or ask her a question around the fire.
