Hi A/all!
As one of My last posts here before I go on holiday, I'd like to congratulate our fabulous winners Lydia Joie Divine and Master Domenic as our community's new SLPA "Mr and Ms Leather" title holders for 2014!
The Sydney Leather Pride Association event was held at Gingers at The Oxford Hotel last month. Apart from being great fun and a total success, it was also My chance to thank our community for having Me as their outgoing Sydney Ms Leather title holder for 2012.
Events and competitions of this nature are so important to champion our members, celebrate our diversity and to strengthen our community spirit!
My title was an amazing catalyst to take the opportunity to serve My community. Initially, I went to San Francisco to compete at "International Ms Leather 2012" and was the first international competitor in the then 26 year history of the competition!
I returned to found the "Sydney Fetish League" with Angie Demaskau and Dick Savvy and convene the new title of Sydney Mr and Ms Fetish in 2013. Angie and I also supported Dick to raise donations for ACON in his two fabulous "Slave Auctions" of '12 and '13. I also used My title as a platform to start a rope group, "Rope Flow", to sponsor rope bondage in the Sydney GLBTIQ scene.
I officially take My hat off to Mr Dick Savvy as My "Sydney Mr Leather 2012". He's an amazing inspiration and will continue to be for years to come! We're both people who maintain that just because we've had our time as title holders, it doesn't mean we've excused ourselves from our duty to our community.
Well done to Lydia and Dominic and I'll look forward to seeing your actions as our new community representatives!
Once again, congratulations!
