I found my way into the Leather community 6 years ago when a hot leather daddy asked my how many boys a Sir should have? I replied, at least one more, me! That Sir honored me, when I earned my first leather; by hand making the harness I wore that night to the Dallas Eagle.

Leather is not only what we wear, but also who we are and how we support our community. I am a member of the Dallas boys of Leather, Board member of Flesh & Fantasy, voting member of the Leather Archives and Museum and have been involved with many organizations like, NLA-Dallas and the Texas Gay Rodeo Association in helping support their charity events. As your International Leatherboy, I have gotten to travel and support and organize boy gatherings and workshops, co-produce several Leather contests and judge this year’s International Mr. Leather.

It has been an honor to promote the best in the boy movement along with a great International LeatherSIR.

Parting Words

Stallion's Words of Thanks,

Someone once said... you are a composite of all of your friends. If that were true, then I would be a tall Jewish black gay female that likes to beat leather and get off while looking at pictures of myself. In other words, a Leatherboy with a lot of problems! I believe that as titleholders, we have been given the awesome responsibility to represent all of our community. Well, you have been a community of friends and mentors and I have been honored to share and represent our Leatherhood together.

For all of the boys and the Dallas boys of Leather, you have been the inspiration and my driving force. And we will take over the world, one Sir at a time, or at least have fun trying.

I would like to list the following people
you should blame for the way I am:

First, to my International Sir, Dexter Edmond, you always made me feel tall. I couldn't have gotten though this year without your support and mentorship. To our International Community Bootblack, Shawn Patrick Finnerty, I am glad we never fought over the same men. You might win. To our ILSb Board and Regional producers, you were my family and my fun. To my judges, Dave Rhodes, Bob DeJardine, Mr. Marcus, Michael Egdes, boy ivan, Robert Davis, Tom Stice, Mark Frazier and Philip Dietch, you are truly responsible and I love you dearly. Thank you for your continuing commitment to our leather community.

To my International titleholder first family, Michael (Egdes, Congdon, Ratzlaff, Schneider), Booboo, Michele Jackson and Jessi HolmanAhart, you were the best friends that a boy could have and the best sex I never had... yet.

To the Canadians, yes, you know whom I mean. Jayne Schmid, I wish mine was as big as yours. Todd Sweet and Tom Wright, you put the big "T" in Toronto. Brandon and Dan, Bo Ladashevska and Ghee and Benjamin Palmer, thank you for all of your time and all that you mean to the leather community.

To Marcus Hernandez, Dave Rhodes and Vern Stewart. Because of what you do, we have the history about our communities and the ability to share it with others.

John Pendal, Pandora, Tug Taylor, Robert Davis, Lori Ellison, Karen, Lady Faye, Lynn, boy ed, Master Z and J.D. Buchert, it is everything you do, for everybody else.

This journey along with these friends has changed my life forever. Thank you and may your journey be as blessed as you have made mine.

Mark, my roommate and my friend, Mike Henry, Jeff Wade, Marty Huie, Tim Kernan, Rich Parker, Daddy Lou, Shannon Short, ty, Dan Perry, Rick Iber, Bill Shafer, Moma, Chuck Renslow, Frank Nowicki, Dan Azevedo, Dave Pace, Randy Wheeler, Brian Setzkorn, Richard Blake, Jimmie and Mera Tucker, Barry Barret, Jack Hutchinson, Sebastian, Ray Marsal, Terrell Brown, Lady Raven, James Sands, Bryan Harrison, Gene Romaine, Kelly Wilt, Robert Napalitano, BlackKat, boy jose, boy ray, Rick Mansfield and never last or least in my mind, Tank Carson and JR Brown.

Thanks to all of our Leather clubs and organizations that make the difference in our community:
