Mobile Bear/Leather (BLeather) Weekend starts on Friday, including the Mr Mobile Leather 2026 contest. Followed by the Mr Mobile Bear 2026 contest Saturday. A full weekend is scheduled. It is a fun weekend in a place that isn’t as small or remote as folks may assume. d.com/

Today is the last day of Pride month As part of competing in IMLBB you prepare to possibly give a 90 second speech from the stage that's streamed worldwide I didn't get the chance, placing 27th (7 short) I wan't going to publish this, but decided it says things MANY people need to hear during Pride

I can barely start to express what a whirlwind it has been since last April when I got the title Mr Fireside Daddy 2025. Thanks to Eric, Jerry, and the folks in Mobile who let me make this title a “make your own adventure”. I got to spread the word that Mobile has things going from the IMLBB stage

Out for a day at the beach. The good thing about the overcast is it was actually pleasant at the pavilion at the harbor. Gulf Coast Pride caught a break because you can actually enjoy the event

An early birthday gift to me

Here's some pictures from an April photo shoot I did for images to be used at IMLBB

IMLBB Class 48 It was an amazing experience. I met some men that will probably be in my life long-term. It was cloyingly, sickeningly, wholesome, & good spirited 😈 The structure insured you were kept busy but not pressured. The class truly was people you would want to hang out with. No Prima Donnas

OK kids. I have one statement to make on all the noise about @Honey Davenport THE PROCESS WORKS. Trust it and move forward with grace. This is my opinion and not a discussion. I came in to IMLBB 48 as a competitor with some broad ideas of who I thought could do the job well. 1/6

In honor and memory of my fallen angels. Your lights still shine As I turned to leave, the clouds shifted and there was a rainbow.

IMLBB Class 48 way to go to the theater. This is one fucking amazing group of people. The classmates, the handlers, & the people that have put the event together. It has been one of the more joyful groups or events I’ll have ever participated in. From start to finish

It’s official. I’m now a member of IMLBB class 48. It’s an amazing experience and off to a great start

Good morning Chicago. I got in late last night, unpacked & sorted stuff. I got very lucky to get a low floor, large room, that looks out onto the lake and Grant Park. Y’all are sending really good juju my way. Thanks. The adventure is beginning. A fair number of classmates are trickling in

It is time to hit the road for that thing we do in May All the gear is packed and stowed in the car. And so begins the adventure of IMLBB 48 I can’t wait to meet those class siblings I haven’t already ran across. And no, I do not have a boot problem. Why would you ask?😈

Friday just got better. There are now TWO pairs of tickets to see Lucy darling on June 5 up for grabs at the sendoff for IMLBB at the Phoenix NOLA Hope to see y’all there. There will also be raffle gift baskets and a gear swap/auction

Yay! My Mr Fireside Daddy ‘25 pins got here in time for IMLBB. I will be bringing them to events. You can get one by making a $5 donation to the Crescent City Leathermen charities. There is a link on the CCL webpage listing those charities and so you can donate online. crescentcityleathermen.net

Guys, here’s a great way to support the Leather Archives & Museum. If streaming the IMLBB events live interest you using this link will generate funds for the museum I’m attaching the text of an email from the IMLBB contestant coordinator (Miguel Torres) 1/7

This promises to be a fun evening. Two Daddies get to run the circus. Y’all know how proper and respectable events in New Orleans are. A charity leather auction will take place, offering a fantastic opportunity to pick up new to you & new gear. There is no substitute for pre-loved gear with a past.

I picked up a vest for my New Orleans Pups & Handlers patch

Help!!! I Fell In Love With A Medfet Dominatrix?!? But She Doesn't Accept My Insurance!! So Now I'm In Hundreds and Thousands Worth of Medical Debt.... And She Made Me Her Live In Sex Pet And Lab Assistant Until I Pay It Off?!?!?

I just gave himself a nice birthday gift. I snagged front row center right seats & the meet up/photo op for the Lucy Darling show June 5 in New Orleans. It looks like playing the hunger games for Fist Fest tickets may have sharpened my skills to get in early and get it done.

Last night was the 2026 Mr. Fireside Daddy contest at the The Flip Side Bar & Patio, Mobile AL. There was a full house and a fun evening, with six great competitors who each brought something different to the contest.

Pro tip for D&D heads just getting started: you can cut up your worthless magic cards to make moveable tokens with cool fantasy art on them to use on your maps

Watch out you preverts. I’m on the road to Augusta Georgia for Fist Fest. I will behave: badly

Getting the last pairs of pants fitted/altered/hemmed for IML

Heading out for a play date with my tribe.

A reminder from a friendly gayme warden that (2 legged) bears are to be bagged, tagged, and released. There is no daily limit on them.

Yay! I just saw the first few fireflies of Summer. Here’s hoping it’s an easy summer.

Yay! Baby armadillos are on the move. Squee!
