INTERNATIONAL MR. LEATHER
More than 50 contestants from across the U.S. and around the world will compete for the title of International Mr. Leather 2009, Thursday, May 21 through Monday, May 25, 2009 (Memorial Day Weekend) in Chicago.
IML is proud to continue two of its newest traditions: the IML Flag and the Parade of Colors. The IML Flag will be unveiled at Opening Ceremonies, then displayed at the Leather Archives Booth in the Leather Market throughout the weekend for all IML attendees to sign. After the Contest this year’s winners will be the last to add their signatures to the Flag, before it goes on permanent display at the Leather Archives and Museum in Chicago. The Parade of Colors will be held at the Pecs & Personality show on Saturday evening.
About 400 gay leathermen gathered in Chicago in 1979 for the first International Mr. Leather contest. Today, the event has grown to be an annual tradition for the leather community – drawing contestants and attendees from around the globe. Once an event for “hardcore” leathermen, IML has expanded in recent years to include a more diverse crowd – from the experienced to the curious. Last year’s event drew more than 15,000 leatherfolk from around the globe.
