While most of the US is wrapped up in Christmas preparation, the Gulf Coast is full speed ahead into Mardi Gras.

Most years things do not pick up until after 12th night, 6Jan

Mardi Gras 2026 is 17 Feb
That creates a time crunch for event spaces

Many groups started events as far back as November.

Piebald (cow) cats have so much personality

Yes, I went there.
Damn you Costco!

Nope, Daddy Boot Bear wasn’t up to any mischief at the Flip Side Lounge (Mobile AL) last night.
The “Hot for the Holidays” Santa cigar social/Toys for Tots drive did well.
A good number of Crescent City Leathermen made the trip to support leather/kink in Mobile

At the Flip Side for tonight’s “Hot for the Holidays / Dirty Santa” fundraiser and toy drive for Toys for Tots
It’s cool enough to wear sitting on the patio in leather is comfortable.
Perfect weather for a cigar social

You can tell how thrilled I am with Delta from this image
Pulling away from the gate heading to Fort Lauderdale for Pig Week.
Provided Delta doesn’t turn this into a cluster at Atlanta
My travel buddy can’t get to Atlanta. He’ll get to FLL tonight hopefully

Just got an order from Cockeye Kink
Does this leather bar vest make my ass look fat?
November 27, 2025 at 6:27 AM
Perfect timing
Cold weather/winter is coming
Cypress trees know it
Last week they were full vivid green.
Over the last 3 days every needle has turned copper & dropped off
The area around them carpeted with coppery needles
The asphalt you can see is where my van has been parked for the last 2 days

the BLU (Bear, Leather, Uniform) night at Sipps in Gulfport MS was a great evening
The Gulf Coast truly came together & celebrated ourselves
The raffles for charity were a success

Getting to demonstrate bootblacking with Nicole Dubois was a lifetime event

Off to the Highlands & Islands fest
November 8, 2025 at 8:12 PM
Enjoying lunch over in Jersey City with part of my tribe before subjecting ourselves to the torments cooked up by Delta.
We’re going to have to overnight in ATL because the 2pm flight (EWR-ATL) kept getting delayed and pushed so that I will not make a 9:30 PM connection home from Atlanta
November 2, 2025 at 10:04 PM
Waiting for 10 to leather up and head to the Eagle
October 31, 2025 at 7:24 PM
And we’re off.
I can’t begin to tell y’all how much I look forward to connecting in ATL.
I mean, what can go wrong?
October 31, 2025 at 10:05 AM
At Sipps for the Brolesque show

Stopped in for a little bit at the Gulf Coast Equality Fest. It was nice to see people out enjoying a pleasant fall day.
Lots of puppies. The two legged and four legged kind.
The highlight for me was meeting a pair of leather dykes of a certain age.

Ready for Halloween at the Eagle NYC
I figure full cow with logger boots & this mask equals something practical to take and wear
The mask is made by a NOLA local artisan out of leather
October 23, 2025 at 8:53 PM
The weather looks perfect to gear up.
Daddy Boot Bear will be bootblacking during the CCL social Friday night.
October 21, 2025 at 9:38 PM
There will be a number of title holders from the region to meet and greet.
There’s also a contingent of the Crescent City Leatherman coming in from New Orleans
October 16, 2025 at 10:41 PM
See y’all Fri & Sat in Mobile for LeatherFest2
It’s the Mr MobTown Pup contest
Everybody gets to be a good boy, especially if they’re being bad.
Bring your gear
Daddy Boot Bear will be there to clean, condition, & shine it for free so you’ll look your best
It’s free, charity donations encouraged

This summer I let the beds in the front of my house go to garbage and grow wild.
I was traveling a lot and did not pull seasonal plants out nor reset with summer annuals
Nature rewarded me anyway with a gorgeous display of golden rod (Solidago) ageratum houstonianum
Plants gone wild.

Back home from bootblacking with Andrew Charles McDiarmid for the Mr Third Coast Leather weekend in Houston.
Met fantastic people.
I am thankful for the generosity of the Misfits, the Ripcord, Drew, who allowed me to take part in a great event
October 13, 2025 at 3:31 AM
Event drop, my ass.
I still have to clear the aftermath from 5 days in Augusta.
Once laundry is washed/folded, leather gar is cleaned/hung up, & the travel gear is sorted/repacked for Houston/Mr 3rd Coast contest Saturday, THEN all the feels can come out to play.
October 6, 2025 at 8:43 PM
Daddy Boot Bear has the car charged, loaded, & is ready to head to Augusta for Fist Fest weekend tomorrow.
It'll be great to see buddies and meet new ones.
There's a fair bit of my tribe will be there.
IGNORE any salacious tales that may get out there.
I'm an innocent bystander. I'm sticking to that
