The highlight of los angeles Leather Pride 2017 CODE: was the Mr. los angeles Leather 2017 contest won by Jeff Wilcox on Saturday night, April 1 at the Globe Theater in downtown los angeles.

My goal for this year is to bring a new sense of excitement and fascination for the Leather community to those who have always wanted to partake but were too afraid to join in or didn’t know where to begin. I want to show anyone interested in any aspect of the Leather community that they are welcomed and we are excited to accept them whatever their kink, fetish, or enjoyment of sex may be. I know I was one of those people who wanted to enter the community without knowing how and ended up dancing around the outside for years and years until I was finally able to come in thanks to the Eagle LA Mr. Leather contest.

Russell is from Boston, Massachusetts where he lives with his partner of 23 years. He first got into Leather while attending Catholic grade school in Connecticut. Outerwear was the only expression of self! We all had to wear uniforms but it was the older boys who wore Leather jackets. Russell has been into Leather ever since. Always in the shadows it wasn’t until he attended his first major Leather event in Provincetown, MA, Mates Leather Weekend, that he received the title of First Mate. From there he went on to compete in and win Mr. New England Leather 2017.

Russell is a versatile man who tirelessly explores the world of Leather, fetish and kink. He is a collector of vintage Leather and gear.

I may have come late to the Leather scene, but have wholeheartedly embraced it, taking on confidence and pride, helping educate people from all walks of life about the Leather community. I have also worked with and on behalf of the broader LGBTIQ community, with close ties with SAMESH and a strong focus on mental health awareness through volunteering and work with Beyond Blue.
