Kinksters from all over the Midwest will converge on Des Moines, IA, the weekend of October 12-14, 2012, for Iowa Leather Weekend.

On Saturday, come back at 10PM to see sexy men compete to be Mr. Iowa Leather 2013. Stay afterwards for the Black Party, benefiting the AIDS project of central iowa. On Sunday, the Corn Haulers and the Titans of the Midwest present Leather Brunch at 11 AM and the Victory Beer Bust at 2 PM, where patrons can meet the new Mr. Iowa Leather in person.
This year's Iowa Leather Weekend will feature fetish wear vendors Le Chateau Exotic and Jesse Driscoll, as well as bootblacks, kink demos and performances from a bevy of performers from the porn and drag worlds.
This year's judges for MIAL are Randy Carmenaty, American Leatherman 2008; Angel Velez, Mr. Chicago Leather 2012; Karen "Ultra" Crecelius; Sandy "Mama" Reinhardt; and Mike Pagano, Mr. Iowa Leather 2011. The emcee will be Jon Krongaard, Executive Coordinator of IML.
Guests can still book rooms at the official MIAL host hotel, The Holiday Inn Downtown, but rooms are going fast. Don't miss this party weekend like only Iowa can throw!
