The appropriate dress for this section is “street legal” leather/fetish/kink wear.
Speech and Formal Wear (45 points): Contestants will each be given 90 seconds to speak on a topic of their choice related to the Leather/Fetish/Kink community. Contestants will be judged on the delivery of their speech as well as on their formal wear (what you would wear to a formal leather/fetish/kink event or banquet).

Our M.C. again this year is Miranda!
Miranda got into leather during the New Wave era, and for all you gen Xers; that would be back in the 80′s… Yeah, that’s right. Uh huh, while you were sporting pampers, she was sporting leather. Not known for doing anything halfway, she dove headfirst into the community helping out at fundraisers around the bay area. In ’93 her little black heart was captured by Diana, Ms. SF Leather 94, and they have been together ever since. During Miranda’s title year (and for over a decade thereafter), she and Diana were dedicated to the Leather Community. Then someone (and I’m not saying who… DH) got the big idea of buying a huge old Victorian fixer-upper. I mean, what could go wrong, right? Shortly after they began the ten year (and still counting) grand restoration, they literally dissapeared off the face of the Leather planet… That was, until two years ago, when the phone rang and the voice on the other end said, “hey, I hear you used to hang out in the Leather community. Wanna help us out with the show?” Ladies and Gents, boiz and girrls, back for another round of shinannigans, it’s Miranda! Now let’s get this party started!
