Ken placed 6th place overall at International Mr. Leather. Free entry at Oil Can Harry’s loft bar from 9-11PM.

3/26 -- Southland Honors
Leather folk will gather on this special night to recognize groups and individuals for their tireless work in our local leather community.

3/26 -- Cigar Social & Rub Out
Get your rubber/latex and/or leather gear on and get to the Eagle LA to hang with some cigar smokin’ hot men. Maximus provides the smokes and you provide the fire. Just don’t get the cigars and fire too close to the rubber/latex. Maybe the Daddy of your dreams is waiting there for you.
