While we were at IMsL this year we snagged a chance to speak with one of our favorite SF people, Leland Carina, who you may remember from an earlier interview about the SF Girls of Leather (love them!).
Leland is a multi-faceted kinkster who captures amazing photographs, publishes a super blog and somehow finds time to sit on the Board of the Bay Area Leather Alliance in addition to her duties as President of the SF Girls of Leather. And of course, all of that is in addition to working full time for Kink.com.
There's some excellent stuff in this interview - check out both parts of the interview after the jump.

Awards!
In Hollywood and the Leather Community spring is when the diva comes out in all of us and we like to give ourselves awards for it! We also like to hold our contests in the spring. It is award and contest time again in the Bay Area. Woo hoooo!
My favorite Bay Area Awards are the Golden Gate Guard’s Golden Dildeauxs, a yearly fluff of an award for giggles and cleaver fundraising. The big gold plywood unsanded cocks glued to a round wood disk and GGG in handwritten gold lettering is one of my most cherished possessions! I won one for “The Hostess with The Mostest” for the year I may have gone through a few beaus. My proudest, however are for “The Devil Wears Prada 2010”and for “The Devil Wears Off Ramp 2011” for leather fashionista of the Bay Area. Yes, I beat Lance Holman (Mr. SF 2010), who is younger, prettier and smarter than me two years in row! Got to love it when Momma beats the best dressed Leather god and most sought after leather dyke baby Daddy in the Universe; I kid you not. This to me is one of the most important awards of my life. Yes, it is shallow, tongue in cheek, fundraising and fun. Dun mess with my Dildeauxs, I would get very cranky.

Kinky Girls
I guess I'm jaded but when I read a blurb that described the new book Kinky Girls (edited by Miranda Forbes) as "seriously kinky" I jumped right in. Hmmm...outdoor sex, voyeurism and food sex don't raise the bar very high for me but I'm sure your average kink-o-phile will be satisfyingly titillated.
That said, critic Lucy Felthouse from Blogcritics.org, describes some of the stories in this kinky anthology as "sparklingly brilliant" and that's reason enough to snag a copy for yourself.

We attended the 25th annual International Ms Leather a couple of weeks ago in San Francisco. It was amazing to note that there were 17 for IMsL titleholders on hand to celebrate the milestone.
We had a few minutes to talk with Lady Faye Falconnier of Dallas, TX who is IMsL 2006. I love her style!

5 years of hotness!
One of our favorite "leatherazzi" photographers, Jay Lawton of JayPG Photography was on hand for the 5th anniversary blow out at the Eagle Los Angeles.
Check out these super-hot pics. Especially the ones of the current Eagle LA Mr Leather Joey Lopez with the snake (no, a real one). Hot! Note: pics are slightly NSFW due to scantily clad leather men and bondage scenes.

boy nathan from the Tri River Guardians, produced the first-ever Instinct Fetish Ball in Colombia, SC and sent us the following:
I want to thank everyone that attended the very first Fetish Ball ever held in Columbia. It was an amazing time with amazing people! I met up again with some old friends and made some new friends as I think a lot of people that attended did. I am truly amazed and heartened by the great response that the fetish ball produced. I honestly have to say, that I have never felt more at home or more welcomed than I have been than within Leather/BDSM community. Every single one of you are truly awesome people! I will apologize because if I would have known what else was going on during the weekend, I would have scheduled it at a different date, because seriously, who would miss the season premier of Doctor Who? Lol but its ok, Master Regi- recorded it for us lol.
Truly though, I feel like Instinct: Columbia’s Fetish Ball was a success and it wasn’t what I did, it was what everybody there did.
