At this year’s Mr. Mid-Atlantic Leather contest, the eventual winner, Kip Holler, was asked to cite his qualities if called on to serve as President Barack Obama’s new puppy.
”I have short hair, I don’t shed and I’m hypo-allergenic — it’s leather, not latex,” he said off the cuff to the judges’ intentionally farcical question. Dressed in full leather, with a bright-yellow tie, he was sure to call attention to what he said should be the first pup’s first order of business. ”As my first duty, I’d piss on you, George W. Bush.”

International Bear Rendezvous 15 is coming up soon and bears are already descending on San Francisco like trailer park queens at a cheap Las Vegas buffet…
Unlike a lot of leather competitions, the bear contests seem to be more about fun, sex and food, whereas the leather competitions are more about saving the world – unless you skip the festivities and make it all about sex. The leather competitions however are never about food.
