Special Events

The main events of the weekend are the two contests, International Ms Leather and International Ms Bootblack. You’d think with all that hotness poured into the contests, we wouldn’t bother needing to schedule anything else. And, really, we don’t. But why just titillate you and tantalize you when we can blow your mind …

The 27th Annual International Ms Leather Contest

The 15th Annual International Ms Bootblack Contest

This is where you get to see all the action, folks. Heck, you get to watch the head-to-head competition LIVE: contestant interviews, speeches, pop questions, hotwear and the perennial audience favorite, fantasies. Picture one stage full of smart and sexy leatherwomen parading around in their hottest outfits... and then jack up the vibe to the power of ten. NOW you're with the program.

Wanna be in perfectly shined leathers for the contest, eh? Here's where you can even get in on the action personally. Head over to the Bootblack Salon and Leather Lounge on Friday or Saturday, bring your leathers and boots and relax in the hands of this year's International Ms Bootblack competitors. They'll work some serious down and dirty magic on your boots, gear and garments. You'll get all polished up to be the belle or beau of the ball.

And we mustn't forget about the show itself. It's a leather contest like you've never seen, with another deliriously steamy opening number, a stage packed full of wicked hot fantasies featuring leatherwomen from all over, and special guest emcees who will keep your juices flowing till it's done. It's international, dig?
