V. M. Johnson, also known as Viola Johnson, born in 1950, is a leatherwoman, leather activist and author.[1][2][3][4]

Life

[edit]

Johnson claims that when she was seventeen years old a vampire gave her some of his own blood to drink and thus she became a vampire.[3]

In the early 1970s, she joined the BDSM and leather scenes.[1] In 1988, she became an honorary member of Tulsa Uniform Leather Seekers Association (T.U.L.S.A).[5] In 2005, she started The Carter/Johnson Library & Collection, a "collection of thousands of books, magazines, posters, art, club and event pins, newspapers, event programs and ephemera showing leather, fetish, S/M erotic history".[6]

She was a judge for many leather-related contests, including Ms. World Leather.[1][7]

She is on the board of governors for the Leather Hall of Fame.[8]

She was on the board of directors of the Leather Archives & Museum and is a member of the Lesbian Sex Mafia. She is married to Jill Carter.[4]
