Race Bannon READ TIME: 1 MIN.
One of the annual projects of the San Francisco Bay Area Leather Alliance is producing the Leather Alliance Weekend, which took place February 28 through March 3. The weekend included the San Francisco Bootblack and Mr. San Francisco Leather 2019 contest.
Mr. S Leather hosted the opening meet and greet party at their store on Thursday night. A large, diverse crowd socialized while some also shopped. The contestants were introduced and the audience immediately started deciding on their favorites.
On Friday night at SOMArts, the Alliance mixed together a formal dinner, SF Bootblack technical competition, the community awards presentation, and the Mr. SF Leather contestants doing impromptu fantasy scenes.
