The contest weekend kicked off with a Friday evening meet ‘n’ greet at
the newly refurbished SF Eagle. We contestants displayed our baskets of
items for auction, sold raffle tickets, and received our contestant
numbers. I got a lesson from Head Judge Daddy Vick Germany on how to sell raffle
tickets the “dirty way”, which served me well during the evening. See what a quick study I was: here I am, measuring Big Red's inseam.
Then on
Saturday afternoon, at the Hotel Whitcomb, we had rehearsals for our fantasies,
and we were each interviewed by the judging panel. The judges, apart from
Daddy Vick whom I already mentioned, were Tony Hunter, first runner-up for Mr
SF Leather 2013; MS SF Leather 2011 Miss Bethie Bee; the incomparable Donna Sachet; and secret judge angel, Women's International Leather Legacy 2013! The contestants were well and truly grilled,
if my experience was anything to go by. I admit I did enjoy the
experience – but then, I am well known as a masochist.
Doors opened Saturday at 6:30 for the cocktail hour.
Everyone was dressed up in their finest, and looked gorgeous! The room was
packed with hot leathermen and women. Then at 7:30, the contest
started. As a contestant, I am not the best one to report on this, since
I missed a lot what with being backstage changing outfits all evening! I
can tell you that not only did outgoing MS SF Leather Nerine Mechanique receive an official
proclamation from the state, Queen Cougar got one too, for her many years
of achievement and her 20 year anniversary as Ms SF Leather 1993. Please correct me
if I am wrong, as I didn’t hear the speech. There was a wonderful parade
of colors. The contestants delivered speeches,

were tortured by MCs
Darren Bondy and the lovely Miranda, and performed our fantasies. I especially enjoyed my fantasy ...
Then
finally, there was a great tallying of scores and a handing out of awards.
Katerina received the Leather Heart award, the first runner-up was Beth, and I won the title. Here is a picture of me looking terribly overexcited, with outgoing titleholder Nerine. Please check her shoes. I will NOT be filling those!
If you have ever remotely considered running for a title, I
thoroughly recommend Ms SF Leather. The contest is well organized, and
the producers do their best to make the whole process fun. Which it was, I think for all three of us. And I am here to tell you that it is possible to win the title in a variety of gender identities, body types, and presentation styles, as long as you are able to represent leatherwomen.
