Come out to the Cuff for a great time with hot bootblacks, femmes, queers, pups, leather folks and all your friends!
PUPPY AGILITY COURSE:
Jumps and slaloms and energetic pups, oh my!
Who will prove to be the most agile pup?
Pup Mischief, the Blue-Nose Pitbull, sure to run a blue streak down the course?
Pocket Pup, a Mini Aussie Shepherd sure to sproing over obstacles and into your… heart?
Or Dog Scrappy, a Doberman Pinscher – you won’t have to pinch yourself, this dreamy dog is for real!
SILENT AUCTION: We will have a silent auction with fabulous items, including:
– Restored vintage Frye’s and Danner boots from the 1970s

– Toys! Including a lovely black bull hide flogger, and red and black leather single tail whip
– Decorative jewelry for temporary play piercings hand-crafted by Brenna

RAFFLE: It’s a 50/50 raffle! You know the drill, winner takes half the pot, the rest goes to the fundraiser.
BOOTBLACKS: We will have three bootblacks on shift for all your leather care needs, including the amazing Henry Brown (NW Community Bootblack 2007), talented Brynn (Washington State Bootblack 2016) and fantastic Carla (Washington State Ms Leather 2017).
This is a fundraiser to send Carla and Brynn to the Great Lakes Leather Alliance contest and conference.
All moneys raised will be split between the recipients.
All moneys raised will be put towards their travel to GLLA, divided equally.
Any extra moneys raised will be dedicated towards the travel fund for the 2018 Washington State Bootblack.

FAQ
What is the accessibilty of the space?
There are two short sets of stairs down to the main dance floor space of the Cuff Complex. There is a wheelchair accessible entrance available by request. Bootblacks will be working and some products contain strong scents.
Why GLLA?
There are a number of excellent and talented bootblacks who have come out of GLLA, including IMsBB 2017 Elisa, IMsBB 2016 Meghan, IMsBB 2013 Bella, IMsBB 2004 Izzy and so many others. The tech that comes out of this community is ASTOUNDING! Not just the tech, but the dedication to community and amplifying marginalized voices within the community, hard work and dedication, and overall friendliness. I think they are a great community to strengthen connections with our bootblacks here in the PNW.
Why specifically femme bootblacks?
I think it’s a great way to appreciate the talented femme bootblacks in our community!
Why aren’t you keeping any money for your own travel fund?
I’m blessed to be able to manage with my own income and my travel fund. Which was seeded an additional $500 by the previous WA State Titleholder of 2016, Brynn Beitzel.
I intend to do another fundraiser at the end of my title year to seed the travel fund of the 2018 Washington State Bootblack. Please stay tuned for that!
