If you know the way to San Jose then you might want to scurry over to the Doubletree Hotel where they are hosting the annual International Ms. Leather and International Ms Boot Black competition all through this weekend.
You’ve already missed Seduction, the steamy show they mounted on Thursday to get everyone going, but Friday (today) the program includes day long intensive educational courses, judging for the 2016 IMsL/IMsBB titleholders and the opening ceremonies, and the fabulous Uniform Party.
Everything kicks off on Saturday in full swing with workshops, vending, silent auction and the second half of the contest, and then Sunday continues with a brunch, pool party, poker and Bawdy Storytelling and Slam.
This is in fact IMsL’s 30th Anniversary and the organizers assured queerguru that there will be even more cruising, flirting, playing, education, connecting, shopping and much more than usual. Judging by the photographs from last year’s event the whole thing looks like a helluva lot of fun. Well mostly, as in some of these pictures we really don’t want to know what is going on.
