I've been awarded "Sydney Ms Leather 2012"!

Hi E/everyone!

Something very special happened last Sunday 19th Feb… If one would ever want "the nod" from the local community, one would surely respect the title I've been honoured with...

I have been awarded "Sydney Ms Leather 2012"!

I'm so honoured to have been recognized in this way by My local community! It was such a surprise to receive this award after spending only a few years in the Sydney community. I look forward to representing our diverse GLBTIQ (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and Queer) Leather community and assisting in any way I can to contribute in the capacity of My role. 

I had no expectations when competing and was simply proud to stand next to other people I've such respect for, consider as mentors and am blessed to call friends - forget being chosen from amongst them as a representative.

The competition was a day long contest with contestants appearing in front of a panel of six judges from Sydney Leather Pride Association (SLPA), Dykes on Bikes (DOB), The Oxford Hotel, the reigning "Mr Leather Australia & NZ", et al. Both male and female contestants strutted their stuff for a chance to win the title.

Check the shots of all of us in our finest!

We had to appear in a choice of three leather outfits - casual, cruise wear and formal. We answered random questions, asked to described our ultimate sexual fantasy and make a short speech about a topic of our choice. I wore My favourite laced on leather jeans and vintage hobnail boots, full military leathers complete with jodhpurs, equestrian boots and Airforce cap, then finally custom-made corsetry, custom made gloves, Muir cap, 9" heel LSB custom made boots with Spanish black steel spurs!

The most daunting component of My role is surely traveling to San Fran at the end of March to represent Australia at "International Ms Leather 2012". I will be the FIRST EVER woman sent from Australia to attend an international fetish competition of this ilk. Wow!

I'll keep you updated here of My progress towards SF! I now need to prepare Myself for the contest where I'll strut, answer questions ad libitum, make a speech AND also act out My ultimate sexual fantasy on stage in 4mins. (!!!) Quite a tall order after a 20hr intercontinental flight! I shudder at the thought of the overweight baggage I'll be carrying! ;)

I'd like to personally congratulate each of the other competitors in the women's heat, including Angie Demaskau and Ana Wojek who took 1st runner up and 2nd runner up respectively. Looking at the field of competitors, we'd have been well represented in San Fran and locally throughout the year, regardless of who actually took home the title! Well done also to the fab Dick Savvy who took out the title of "Sydney Mr Leather".

One thing beyond doubt it the amazing amount of effort that went into organising this event. I'd personally like to congratulate Sydney Leather Pride Association, Dykes on Bikes, The Oxford Hotel and all our judges for the event in staging and sponsoring the competition. The turn out from the public was overwhelming too, with The Oxford Hotel literally packed out! Thanks to all who turned up in leather, rubber or other to the event.

I'll look forward to stepping to the challenges of My role over the next year in effort to give back some of what I've received from My community in Sydney. Thank you!

My very best, always!
