Leatherboy
(Toronto, Canada) – Organizers of the Eastern Canada LeatherSIR/
Leatherboy 2012 contest weekend are pleased to announce the winners of
the regional titles. The ECLSb 2012 contest was held on Saturday,
February 18 in Toronto.
When the scores were tallied, Thug Rocco from Sudbury, Ontario,
claimed the title of Eastern Canada LeatherSIR 2012, and boy alex from
Kingston, Ontario claimed the title of Eastern Canada Leatherboy 2012.
With only one contestant running for each title, each contestant had
to achieve a minimum score of 70% to win.
Sir Rocco and boy alex will advance to compete at the International
LeatherSIR/Leatherboy 2012 contest weekend, Thursday, July 26 through
Sunday, July 29 in San Francisco, coinciding with the Dore Alley
leather street fair. (See http://www.LeatherSIR.com for more
information.)
The ECLSb contest weekend ran from Friday, February 17 through Monday,
February 20 (the provincial holiday). The official Meat & Greet with
contestants, judges and attendees was held Friday night at Black Eagle
Toronto. The ECLSb Contest took place Saturday afternoon at
Goodhandy’s, followed by a Victory Party later that night at Black
Eagle Toronto that coincided with a Toronto Leather Pride and Toronto
Ontario Rubber Network (TORN) bar night. About 40 Saturday night
survivors were up in time to join the new ECLSb titleholders at the
Sunday Victory Brunch at the Churchmouse & Firkin. The weekend event
with the most sex and sweat was the Squeal Leather Party held Sunday
afternoon at Steamworks. Monday was a day for socializing, and saying
good-bye to out of town guests and judges.
The panel of judges for the ECLSb contest included: International
LeatherSIR 2011 Alan Penrod, from Atlanta (GA), who served as head
judge; International Leatherboy 2011 pup Nitro, from Atlanta (GA);
International Community Bootblack 2011 Luna, from Oakland (CA);
Eastern Canada LeatherSIR 2011 Master Chuck, from Sudbury (ON);
Eastern Canada Leatherboy 2011 boy iain, from Toronto (ON); and
International LeatherSIR 2009 Tony Palazzo. The panel was expanded to
six judges from the traditional five, to resolve a conflict of
interest that stemmed from a personal relationship between the Sir
contestant and Master Chuck. Master Tony judged only the Sir
contestant, while Master Chuck judged only the boy contestant.
Contest staff included: Tally Master boy Alex Dunlop, from Toronto
(ON); Judge’s boy Pup Kalen, from Toronto (ON); Den Daddy Dan Madden,
from Toronto (ON); Stage Manager Fenn, Mr International Rubber 2010,
from Toronto (ON); and, Box Office Manager was Gloria McIsaac, from
Toronto (ON). Returning as emcee for the sixth year was Tom Stice,
International slave 1995 and Southeast Mr Drummer 1998, of Chicago
(IL).
The contest also marked the official step-down of Eastern Canada
LeatherSIR 2011 Master Chuck and Eastern Canada Leatherboy 2011 boy
iain.
During the contest, a special Boy’s Spirit Award was presented in
memory of Andrew MacDonald, Eastern Canada Leatherboy 2005, who passed
away in July 2011 following a battle with cancer. The Boy’s Spirit
Award was presented to ECLb’11 boy iain, in recognition of his
outstanding commitment to the leather community, player’s lifestyle,
and educational outreach and volunteer work.
The 2012 ECLSb Community Builder Award was presented to Paul H, of
Toronto, for his volunteer work and support of ECLSb and Rough House
(http://www.RoughHouse.ca) over the past year.
LeatherSIR/Leatherboy are “player’s titles,” erotic titles
representing the sexual side of gay leather men. The primary goal of
ECLSb is networking and outreach, to help educate the community about
leather men, our erotic expression, traditions and history — and of
course, BDSM and hot leather sex. Contestants were judged in four
categories: Interview; Speech & Image; Physique; and Leather Sex
Fantasy scene. The contestant’s interview portion took place prior to
the contest; the three remaining categories took place on stage during
the contest. Contestants had to incorporate the theme of “Retro” into
their fantasy scene. The fantasy portion is what sets the ECLSb
contest apart from many other contests styled after the International
Mr. Leather and Mid-Atlantic Leather formats.
Presenting Sponsor of ECLSb 2012 is Steamworks (http://
www.steamworksonline.com), the official bathhouse of Eastern Canada
LeatherSIR/Leatherboy. Major Sponsors are Priape (http://
www.Priape.com) and Squirt.org (http://www.Squirt.org). Community
Partners included Goodhandy’s (http://www.goodhandys.com), Black Eagle

(http://www.firkinpubs.com/pubs/churchmouse-and-firkin), Leather
Masters (http://www.LeatherMasters.com), and CLAW / Cleveland Leather
Awareness Weekend (www.CLAWinfo.org).
