There's a chill outside, so make sure you bundle up tight. Unless of course you're in Washington, DC next weekend, where all you need to heat things up is a pair of ass-less chaps and a harness, or a nice tight pair of leather pants. That's right, khakis and blazers, out; fetish gear in! As our correspondent Ivan Quintanilla reports, the annual Mid-Atlantic Leather Weekend kicks off January 13-15.
Every year on the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday weekend our nation’s capital attracts some 2,000 visitors for Mid-Atlantic Leather Weekend (MAL). The festivities kick off on Friday with the Opening Reception at this year’s host hotel, the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill. Throughout the weekend, the hotel’s Leather Exhibit Hall serves as a bazaar of leather goods for bad boys. With events that range from bar crawls to dance parties to, of course, the Mr. Mid-Atlantic Leather Contest on Sunday, MAL is filled with friendly fetishists, leather and Levis men, and titillated tourists.
A little intimidated? Don’t be. The crowd is ultra friendly and won’t bite… unless you want them to.
