Since the 1980s, members of the Northwest’s leather community have made indelible marks on the world-wide leather scene, whether forming clubs, providing leadership, or through the power of the press.  Northwest Sash Bash alternates location between Seattle and Portland, even years in Seattle and odd years in Portland.  From March 6th-8th, 2009, the current family of International and National Leather Titleholders will help celebrate the Northwest’s history and community.

Northwest Sash Bash will be an event to remember as it plays host to a variety of events, including a fantastic show, a play party, club nights, meals, city tours, and a few surprises!

Mr. Oregon State Leather 2008, Dominic, and Ms. Oregon State Leather 2008, Val are active members of the local leather community.  We have had wonderful leaders and organizations come out of the Northwest, and this gathering will include not only our own local Leather and Bear titleholders from Oregon and Washington, but also a stellar mix of national and international guests!”

We will be extending invitations to the International Master/slave, International Mr. & Ms. Leather, Mr. & Ms.International Bootblacks, International LeatherSir/boy, International Mr. & Ms. Deaf Leather, International Deaf Leatherboy, American Leatherman, American Leatherwoman, American Leatherboy, Mr. & Ms. Olympus Leather, and Oregon and Washington Leather, Bootblack and Bear titleholders, community leaders, and entertainers.

Proceeds from Northwest Sash Bash Weekend events will benefit Esther’s Pantry and the travel funds for Mr. & Ms. Oregon State Leather.

Northwest Sash Bash Weekend is produced by Blackout Leather Productions of Oregon, Inc. (BLP), a nonprofit corporation comprised of volunteers from Oregon's Leather community.  For more information about BLP, visit their website.
