leather is where the heart is
behind the scenes
The Mission of the Ms San Francisco Leather contest is to create and maintain an annual contest/event that (1) celebrates our diverse and dynamic San Francisco Bay Area Leather communities, and (2) raises money to support the needs andwork efforts of our local communities. Each year, an esteemed panel of judges selects a Ms San Francisco Leather person to represent our community. This representative is someone who exemplifies the principles of honor, service and commitment to community.
