It's a big one this week! We've got a massive show for you this week, so loosen up!
This past weekend Mr Australian Leather 2023 Shane @leatherman_shane hosted the Title Holder Q &A Panel at the Laird Hotel. The event aimed to dispel myths and misconceptions about running for a title in our local community - and to impart some wisdom from current and former title holders to the next generation.
The panel included
Mr VicBears 2023, Jonny @mrvicbear2023Ms Melbourne Rubber 2022 Delsi @delsicatMr Australasia Bear 2022, Damien @sailor_bear_86Melbourne Rubberman 2023 Joel @rbrjoelInternational Ms. Leather 2018, Sir Ang @thegirlangand Shane’s cohost with the most Laird Leatherman 2021 Craig Burnett @white.dragon.339
Thanks to the Laird Hotel for hosting this event, and for letting us tap into their AV system!
The event also hosted a raffle and auction, which the team from Hanky took out - securing the denim vest owned by Patrick Brookes which he wore when he won IML - becoming the first and only male Australian International Mr Leather in 1980. Huge shout out to the Hanky team for raising $4100 for the David Williams Fund!
This episode was recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples. We pay our respects to their elders, past, present and emerging, and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.
