Introducing the Contestants for Mr Mid Atlantic Leather 2010

6 fantastic guys are competing this year

We had a chance to sit down with each of the contestants after their individual pre-judging interviews.  The discussions ran across some pretty wide territory but one thing was constant:  These are impressive guys!  They're smart and well spoken and have definite ideas about how they would approach the next year as Mr Mid Atlantic Leather.

This year's contestants are:

• #1 Alan Peoples
• #2 Jeff Jarnigan
• #3 James Botelho
• #4 Jon Truzz
• #5 Matt Bamford
• #6 David Dean

Check out the interviews after the jump.

*Wow...CODE DC Rocked!

After Leather Cocktails, which were totally off the chart this year, we headed back the hotel for a quick gear change and then headed over to Code DC at the EFN Lounge.

Of course we had to stop for a quick drink at the MAUL party in the host hotel.  The guys from Mid Atlantic Uniform League are serious uniform fetishists and always throw a good MAL party.

So...in the cab and over to CODE we went.  This was a first code party and we will for sure be back.  Wall to wall gear - hard play - hot guys.

Nuff?

*Headed to Leather Cocktails

Finished up with the contestant interviews this afternoon, hit the vendor fair for a while (hot!) and now we're headed to the "high cow" event of the weekend, leather cocktails.

*Stay tuned for IML Judging Panel announcement

*MAL Day 2 and it's all good :-)

Finished off last night at the host hotel lobby after exhausting the boys at the Green Lantern.  Got too busy to even take out the camera!

Up early today and now we're doing interviews with contestants after their pre-judging.  We'll have those up on Leatherati later today.

Next up...International Mr Leather press conference to announce the judges.

*Just got a B2B

They're raffling off hot gear guys at the Green Latern. So of course I had to get a Boots to Balls from a stud in a baseball uniform.

Don't even really care if I win cause that action was about all I need to keep me happy.

*Met the contestants and now off to the Green Lantern

6 studs are up for the MAL title this year. We'll have more on them tomorrow but first it's off to the Green Lantern for the CLAW Nation Gear Party.

*Lobby is filling up!

Just left the lobby at the hotel and the place is really filling up!  Guys from all over are pouring in and the vendor market is wall to wall.

Sweet!

Heading over to the Claw Nation party at the Green Lantern at 8:30.
