Introducing Toronto’s kinky new title team

In case the swarms of scantily clad leather people walking up and down Church St didn’t clue you in, this weekend was Toronto Leather Pride, wherein the competition for Mr and Ms Leather Toronto were held to find new community representatives. Maybe you saw it. There was a big flashy competition and a dance, and the event was hosted by Deb Pearce and this other guy whose name I can’t remember . . .

Anyway, after a thorough competition with many deserving people yearning for the titles, the new title family for 2013 consists of . . .

Robert Miller, Mr Leatherman 2013.

Youkali, Ms Leather Toronto 2013.

Peter Rex, Mr Rubber Toronto 2013.

A big congratulations to all the winners! I’m guessing that representing the entire community is something of an arduous task, but still, serving the kink community of Toronto must be pretty fun, right? Of course I’m right. Have fun, stay strong and wear a condom!
