This year, I saw Toronto’s Leather Pride from a completely different angle… and that was from the inside, as a contestant in Mr Leatherman Toronto 2016.

What you may not know about me, young and virginal as I seem, I happen to be the mother of a very handsome and agile young man – he’s just not allowed to call me “mother” in public. Drag isn’t just for queens, and this prince of the people is just one of the many […]
