Mr. CT Leather 2011

Me and Tim White Mr. Ct leather 2011


On September 17 I was getting ready to drive to Connecticut for Mr. Ct Leather 2011. At the last minute my friend Chris decided to join me. I was thrilled to have company. We drove to Southington to stay with my aunt. We arrived late at night a little before midnight.
The next night we drove to New Haven to attend Mr. Ct Leather 2011. It was great to see so many people there. I was also thrilled that they had an ASL interpreter for the contest. There were 3 contestants and they all did a great job. Congratulations to Tim White who won the Title of Mr. Ct. 2011. He will do a great job.

Mr. Boston Leather 2011

I left Maine around 9 45 p.m. on September 9th to head to Logan airport to pick up Jeffrey Payne and then we headed to the hotel. We got settled in and chatted for a bit . The next morning I went to pick up MLO Top Trainer Mike, and that afternoon picked up Mr. Cellblock 2010 Brian, Mr. Maryland arrived shortly after noon. Tim Starkey IMBB arrived early evening then we all headed out to eat at the Cheesecake Factory. Tim was producer of Mr. Boston Leather 2011 and is also currently International Mr. Bootblack 2010. (IMBB) After eating we headed to the Ramrod for meet and greet.
On Saturday, Tim gave us all a tour of Boston, we went through Boston Common, Boston Garden and down by the water . It was a beautiful day and the walk was fun. The company was great. Glenda who produces International Ms. Leather joined up with us later in the afternoon and it was great to spend some time with her as well.
Saturday night all of the judges, Jeffrey, Glenda, Myself, Justin (Mr. Boston leather2010) Mister J,Brian, Mike headed to the Ramrod and did the interviews. Both contestants did a great job. After interviews I had time do my boots. He did a great job. The contest started and it was fun. The one thing I forgot was my camera so I don't have any pictures to share at this time.
Congrats to David D who is now Mr. Boston Leather 2011
I had a great time with the judges and meeting other people and of course seeing the Boston leather family. It was also great to see Mark and Dave from Harbor Masters of Maine at the Ramrod.

International Deaf Leather 2010

On July 20th Court and I flew to Las Vegas and for first two days went to visit my brother who lives in Sandy Valley Nevada. It is in the middle of the desert. It was great to spend time with my brother , his wife , their 7 dogs and 3 cats. I love dogs but 7 dogs is way too many for me. We took a drive up to a mountain. I cannot remember the name of it at this time but it was a beautiful drive and nice quality time for Court and I with my brother and his wife.
On July 22nd Court and I headed to Las Vegas to Alexis Park Resort and we got settled in our room. We then met up with Boy Taz and several others. We were happy with our room and accommodations. Upon arrival we met up with Tim Starkey International Mr.Boot Black 2010. It was great to see him and chat with him for a bit. we then ate and unpacked then headed to the pool. We spent a lot of time at the pool during this event. It was fun to see so many of the IDL family as well as other deaf. It was also great to see everyone again. We had a great team of judges. We had an auction at the meet and greet and I was thrilled to see Stan and Andy from Harbor Masters of Maine. It was great to see Jeffrey Payne IML2009, Tyler McCormick IML2010, Tim Starkey IMBB 2010. several IDl family such as Philip, Sir Y, Bob Donaldson,Boy Alex, Patrick, Crystal, and so many names to mention. After the meet and greet we headed back to the resort and then went to the pool again. It was a fun night.
On Saturday morning interview was held. We only had one contestant Val Sherill for International Ms Deaf Leather 2010. She was great through the interview and did a great job. It was actually fun. then Saturday afternoon we went to the pool again. Saturday night was cocktails, then dinner then contest. Val's opening was fun and unique. She did well throughout the whole contest and deserved to win as she did. She is our new International Ms Deaf Leather 2010. Prior to Val winning boy Taz and I gave our step aside speeches and showed a great step down video that was made for us by Randy Carmenaty. Thanks Randy.
As there were not contestants for International Mr. Deaf Leather or International Deaf Leatherboy, I was asked if I would take on another year. It was a hard decision to make but after careful thought, I decided I would continue as IMRDL 2010. Boy Taz has completed 2 years and was ready for his step aside. I lost a boy but gained a sash wife. I am proud to have Val Sherill as my sash wife and look forward to a great year with her. Congrats Val..
