International Mr. Leather 2009 Location:
Chicago, Illinois
The world's hottest leathermen will come together to compete for the title of International Mr. Leather 2009, as IML celebrates its 31st Anniversary, Thursday, May 21 through Monday, May 25, 2009 (Memorial Day Weekend) in Chicago.
About 400 gay leathermen gathered in Chicago in 1979 for the first International Mr. Leather contest. Today, the event has grown to be an annual tradition for thousands in the leather community - drawing contestants and attendees from around the globe. Once an event for "hardcore" leathermen, IML has expanded in recent years to include a more diverse crowd - from the experienced to the curious.
