About
From the Producers:
International Ms. Leather as an event was born in 1986, holding its first-ever contest in 1987. Originally a title contest event for leather women and the leather fetish subculture, it has grown over the years into a weekend-long hotel takeover event with leather women and the International Ms Leather & International Ms Bootblack titles at its heart, but a sanctuary for and celebrating leather, kink, fetish, and community for all leatherwomen/leatherdykes and kinksters of all interests, genders, and bodies who love them.
The Contest is produced by Mademoiselle Ceci.
