Welcome to San Diego Leather Pride 2011
It is amazing how quickly a year can go by, and how much can happen in a single year. With the fall of the infamous Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy, we honor our brothers and sisters in the military, as uncertainty gives way, and our families no longer have to live in fear of being outed, and losing their jobs. We hope for a brighter tomorrow and a time of equality that has been helped in so many ways by our military as they fight and defend the freedoms we hold dear. Join us in honoring these amazing people and come out in your best military uniform! If you are a veteran, or an active duty military person, please honor us by participating in our first ever call-out of military leather folk at both the Mr. and Ms San Diego Leather 2011 contests.
We have some amazing contestants competing for Ms And Mr. San Diego Leather this year. The Ms San Diego Leather title is in its 16th year, and the Mr. San Deigo Leather title is in its twenty-ninth. Our new title holders will work together and independently to represent and be a face of our Leather community, both at home and across the nation. As in years past, we have a line up of fun and interesting events that come together, culminating each week in the contests and victory celebrations.
All Club Night kicks off Leather Pride as we watch our local clubs and organizations tie themselves up in the Leather Olympics, vying for bragging rights for the next year.
We would like to thank The Hole for stepping up to host the Meet & Greets this year. It is a great venue and offers additional much needed space for these events!
Both of the Contests will be returning to RICH’s as another incredible lineup of judges put our contestants through their paces. Lenny Broberg is returning to keep us laughing as Emcee for the Mr. contest. Unfortunately, Ultra could not be with us for the Ms contest this year, however we have the incomparable talents of Ms San Diego Leather 2010 Tiger and Ms World Leather 2001 Annie Romano emceeing for the Ms San Diego Leather contest.
At the Titleholder Appreciation Cocktail Reception, we have the our stepping down Titleholders, Tiger and Anthony, for all of their hard work this past year.
Again this year, we will have victory brunches after both the Ms and Mr. contests! Both victory brunches are being held at Urban Mo’s, well worth a trip out on each Sunday!
After it is all said and done, join us for a final wind down at the Redwing back patio for a cigar social on Sunday March 20.

Welcome to Ms San Diego Leather 2011
Honor your uniform fetish and make a military woman smile!
This year we are celebrating our 16th year and we are so glad you were able to join us. Ms San Diego Leather is one of the longest running women’s leather titles in the country. We have been honored to have had one Ms San Diego Leather hold the International Ms Leather title, one hold the American Leatherwoman title and two hold the Ms. World Leather title. More than that, though, we have had all of our Ms San Diego Leather titleholders working hard right here in San Diego, starting with the very first, Chelli Mohammed, all the way to our current, Tiger. They have stayed active even after stepping down from their titles. They have been volunteers, emcees, drag kings, participants in all kinds of fund raising events and generally all around everywhere you can imagine. In other words, the women that have held the title of Ms San Diego Leather have been women of passion, commitment and energy. And now we are getting ready to add our 16th Ms San Diego Leather to this amazing group of women. She will join a Sisterhood of women that will support her and be there when she needs them. She will become part of the history of the San Diego Leather Community. She will become the newest representative of the entire San Diego Leather Community – the women, the men, the gay and lesbian, the straight and bisexual leather folk. We are so looking forward to what she will do, what differences she will make and what path she will choose to follow. Please have a wonderful, fun filled evening and help us to welcome our newest titleholder to the family.
Welcome to Mr San Diego Leather 2011
Honor your uniform fetish and make a military man smile!
We have had a great year and are looking forward to another one, thank you for showing up and being part of it all. A lot is happening in our city, our state, our country and the world for GLBT and kinky leather people. Your voice and your participation is still needed! Some of the fights are the same fights that we had back in the 80’s, when we lost leather brothers everyday, some are new issues about rights just to be ourselves and be with the people we love. San Diego Leather Pride hopes that the Leather Events and Contests help you and your leather tribe connect and gets all of San Diego out and active in Leather! Our vendors, bars, and clubs need you now, just like we all needed each other before. Come Out and Stay Out!! Show the community our leather sprit that we have built over the years. Enjoy the leather men at our Mr. San Diego Leather Contest and the events that follow. Find a leatherman and build a new friendship!
