Titleholders call at PLPN 2013 |
November 9, 2013 - Sir and I traveled to Philadelphia to coordinate the bootblacks for the 5th Philadelphia Leather Pride Night. We arrived around 2 p.m. and set up the bootblack stands at the Voyeur for the event. I began working at 4 p.m. on those volunteers who needed some leather loving before the event started at 7 p.m. I was joined by Raquel and, much later, by Oil Tam Sam (IMBB 2013).

Loving on Clay's leather uniform. YUM! |
Rare white leather chaps! |
These chaps needed lots of love! |
The lovely drag king also had some black chaps. |
I found out just before the evening started that a marvelous bootblack, Tim Starkey, had died around noon. Although I knew he had been fighting kidney and liver failure since June, it still hit me hard and I cried while Sir and Nikki (Ms. NJ Leather 2013) held me. He was such a wonderful man and he will be missed by many in the Leather community.
Sir Robert Bowden and I speak about Tim Starkey's life. Tim Starkey and Mama Vi Johnson |
