'Tis the season of giving. The Christmas holiday is a time of family and of friends. It is also a time giving and helping out those in need. This has always been a fundamental foundation of Leather Uniform Club of Las Vegas (LUCofLV) since its founding in 1998 and today it still is. Yes LUCofLV does raunchy things, sexy things, I’m going to be telling this story twenty-years-later things, but that is not the only thing that the club is all about. At the end of the day the members are human and it’s that human side that is often times driven to help others. For whatever the individual reasons are members of LUCofLV have a want and/or need to help out in the local community.
At 5 PM on December 17th the contestant application for the 2017 Mr. Twin Cities Leather contest became available on the contest website. The contest producers sought a pool of five contestants to run for the title the weekend of February 17-19. 15 hours later, the fifth application had been received.
‘Tis the season. The season for strangely beautiful Christmas characters and clowns to come to life in a fetish dreamscape of dance, aerial arts, suspension, burlesque and circus entertainment. You know, that season. The Chris Cook kinda season.
The head honcho of naughty entertainment is back with his jingle bells on for Chris Cook’s Crazy Christmas Circus and Clown Cabaret Fetish Party on Dec. 17 at The Wormhole.
Savannah-based burlesque troupe The Tied & Tasseled Fetish Cabaret will pair traditional burlesque with a flair of fetish and rock ‘n’ roll, while the Stardust Pixxies will hoop, dance and move their bodies to the rhythm of the beat. (There may or may not be fire involved). Dead City Clowns will provide the holiday haunts and Analog Kid is the official “musical genius” of the night. A bearded lady, scantily clad women, whips, chains and a clown lying on a bed of nails — it’s all in a Saturday night.
Mr. Mid-Atlantic Leather 2016 Todd Levitt will head the panel of judges for Mr. Mid-Atlantic Leather 2017 which will be held at the sold out Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC the weekend of January 14-16.
A record attendance is expected for Mid Atlantic Leather which will be highlighted by Leather Cocktails on Saturday night. This is a formal affair with high-end food stations throughout the ballroom. Club members and officers are introduced.
The Leather Journal was founded in May, 1987. The Leather community was hungry for news magazine that covered clubs, organizations and events. TLJ has successfully met that need for 34 years. We have adapted to change more than once and when the Internet came about we were there by adding www.TheLeatherJournal.com
