Northwest Community Bootblack 2006
September 2001 - "Oh! So that’s what a beating is!" It was my first
leaving marks and my aching for more. Embracing my leather identity,
I have since found boot blacking feeds my detail-oriented inner geek
and the joy of working with my hands. It’s a service that transcends
gender, orientation and roles of power. It can be merely be a boot
shine, a part time job or an act of worship; each with service, love
and devotion to the boots, person and/or community. It’s been almost
two years since I greased my way between people’s legs to work on
their goods. Can you sense my focus as I hold your boots, studying
and assessing their needs? Can you feel the delicate yet firm grip
of my hand as I massage wax into the leather? As a boot black, I
offer a valuable leather service, and I am excited to learn, grow
and give back to our community. I look forward to the opportunity
to serve as our NW Regional Community Boot Black.
Long live your leathers!
