Mr. Louisiana Leather 2008 -
Congratulations to Michael Albracht
for his win at Mr. Louisiana Leather 2008. The krewe would like to thank
everyone who contributed their time and effort to make Southern Decadence
such a great success for the krewe. Mark your calendar for the
Mr. Louisiana Leather 2009 contest
weekend.
Congratulations - The Gay
Appreciation Awards were held July 19th and Lords of
Leather are proud to announce their club affiliation winners. Lord Gary
Vandeventer received Leather Person of the Year along with the
Phoenix Bar recognized as Leather Bar of the Year. Also
Cowpokes won honors as Neighborhood Bar and Show Bar of
the Year. Congratulations to all the winners and nominees.
Hurricane Relief - Unique in
its inception and scope the Lords of Leather Hurricane Relief Fund continues
to grow. Read the
story. The fund
recently received several sizeable donations from across the country.
Plans are underway for renewed efforts as the 2006/07 hurricane season is
upon us. A
special thank you to the Kansas City Pioneers and their partnering clubs in
their fundraising for the krewe and other New Orleans Leather clubs. Also to the Panther L/L of Atlanta for their
monetary support during their Prowl XVII weekend. To our friends at MAC (Mid Atlantic Conference of
Clubs) for their continued monetary support and friendship. I cannot forget
our special and unique friends at
www.fetishauctioneer.com for providing substantial monetary assistance
to our organization as we try to recover. Also to the entire
organization surrounding International
LeatherSIR & Leatherboy for
their monetary support of our krewe during this time. The task is not
completed as some news organizations are reporting nor do we intend to close
our doors. Even though some of our members remain scattered across the
country we will continue to move ahead with plans for our future. I
know several members that have made life altering decisions based on their
own situations in the aftermath and I encourage them in their future plans.
Please direct any questions
or concerns to me.
Todd Cole,

Mr. Louisiana Leather 2001
Lord King XIX current Webmaster
