Exciting new sponsors for 2017 Los Angeles Leather Pride! CLAW (Silver Level), TEAM EAGLE (NYC)(Partner Level) and G2 Leather (Partner Level) join the Sponsors Roll for the first time, bringing increased national and international visibility to the LA Leather Scene.
CLAW (Cleveland Leather Annual Weekend) is a large annual hot as hell conference held each year in Cleveland on the last weekend of April with attendees from around the globe, including many of the contestants and judges who will be at IML in Chicago in May.
Bob Miller, CLAW president and executive director will be one of the judges for Mr. LA Leather 2017 and will be bringing certificates for weekend passes for all Feeder Contest Contestants! An incredibly generous donation making CLAW a Silver Level Sponsor ($1,000 or more.) Bob says: “We believe that people into leather are normal, happy and healthy. We teach each other that truth when we get together.”
TEAM EAGLE/ CHOMP (NYC) is a new Partner Level Sponsor ($500 or more) and has donated 2 tickets to their upcoming gala CHOMP in NY City. In return, LALC will donate two VIP packages to LALP 2018 to be raffled at the dinner. CHOMP is Team Eagle’s all CODE leather dinner in midtown NYC followed by a private Cigar party on the rooftop at the NYC Eagle. The dinner is a 3 course meal with raffles and auctions intermixed. CHOMP this year will be April 15, 2017 at 7pm. The restaurant will be ETC ETC and is located at 352 W 44th ST, NYC.
DanParente is excited to be representing Team Eagle at LA Leather Pride 2017, including a booth at the Off Sunset Festival. He says “Each year the members of Team Eagle ride in the Northeast AIDS ride from Boston to NYC. All the funds we raise go directly to support the NYC Center’s HIV/AIDS services. After 10 years of riding, this team raised over 1 million dollars to support these essential services. It’s an amazing feat by a small group of about 15 riders. CHOMP is Team Eagle’s fundraising kickoff dinner. It was started by Rick Weber, Mr. Eagle NYC, during his title year in 2007 as a way to bring the leather community together.”
Last summer at Folsom Europe in Berlin, LALP 2017 representatives were thrilled to meet the hot men behind G2 Leather, a brand new online leather/ fetish site creating some of the hottest leather jackets to be found anywhere. G2 Leather is made of Gilad and Gonzalo, lovers and leathermen designing leather hardware for fellow leathermen. The team is donating one of their made to measure jackets which will be auctioned at the Mr. LA Leather Contest, making G2 Leather a Partner Level Sponsor.
The G2 Leather made-to-measure jacket is designed for the leatherman who always keeps his gear on. Easily accessible cigar and aroma pockets, removable collar and epaulets to flag your every kink, and metal c#$k rings that could be switched between the left and right arm, are some of the details intended to get you into all the right trouble. Only 5 body measurements and about 3 weeks for tailoring plus shipping time are between you and this hot piece of leather.
As Gonzalo says, “We are committed to producing the best hardware tailored just for leathermen. We are based in Toronto and Tel Aviv, and travel often to meet each other, and you, at major leather events. We met in 2015 and started G2 Leather as another way to shorten our long distance ”
Los Angeles Leather Pride is March 24 to April 2
