MAL 2012

I went to MAL this year and could hardly contain myself.  I always get excited when attending a leather event, esp something of this magnitude.  This was my first time attending MAL and it will not be my last.  Yes, I was a MAL virgin! 

I finally met the people I had chatted with on facebook face to face.  Trust me people the pictures do not do them justice, and they are very friendly.  It was as if we had known each other for years.

Here we have Mr Missouri Leather, Mr Iowa Leather, Mr Minneapolis Leather, Mr Midwest Leather (myself), and Mr Chicago Leather.  We decided to do a pic of the leathermen of Midwest, even though not all were in attendance.

I was very excited to meet the current IML winner Eric Guttierez.  He was very friendly and answered many questions about his current year activities. He spoke of the excitement of traveling, meeting new people, and the leather community as a whole.

Dirty Santas in Kansas City, Mo. Dec 2011

Mr. Iowa Leather, Mr Missouri Leather, and my self, Mr. Midwest Leather all went in support of the KC Pioneers christmas party and fundraiser.  We raised money by people having their photos taken with DIRTY SANTAS in whatever fashion they so desired.

The pioneers were the greatest and treated us like kings.

Mr Bluegrass Leather Oct 2011

Went to Lexington KY for the Mr Blue Grass Leather contest, and had a blast! The bar was packed with everyone having a good time and waiting for the winner to emerge.

The contestants were all having a good time on stage, competing for the title. Sam Clements out shined them all and won. I was there to help support by doing root to boot tickets, and half the money we took in went to support Mr Blue Grass Leather.
