Jacob Duncan has been growing confidently into his Daddy era as Daddy D. He is Mr. Prime Choice 2022, representing Ripcord, the oldest leather bar in Texas, and a proud member of the International Mister Leather 45 class.

Based in Austin, Texas, Jacob is a driving force in Texas leather culture. He co-produces the Austin Kink Weekend, which include Mr./Ms./Mx. Texas Leather, Texas Pet & Handler, and the Texas Bootblack titles. He is also the co-producer of Austin Leather Weekend, which hosts the Austin Eagle Titles.
Jacob serves as a member of the Council for Austin Gears, a queer-friendly social group that celebrates gear in all its forms. He is also the Vice-Chairman of the Texas Conference of Clubs, which proudly marked its 50th anniversary this year.
Outside of producing major leather events, Jacob is a dedicated gaymer and a staple in Austin’s nightlife as DJ Daddy D, spinning at The Austin Eagle. When he’s not behind the booth or organizing community events, he enjoys quiet time with his boyfriend, Jonathan, and their beloved dog child, Kona.

Sir Charllie (she/her/Sir) is a proud Leather, poly, butch le***an, service-Top. She has been in the community since 1986 and has been seen in different organizations supporting her chosen families in the background; including E.R.S.I.C.S.S., TGRA, and any organization needing extra help. In 2015, she became a member of Houston girls of Leather (HgoL) where she humbly served to inspire other women to be seen as an important part of the Leather Community. Since then, she can be found at NLA-Houston events inspiring others to embrace adventure and shenanigans.
Beyond her deep commitment to volunteerism, she is considered an individual who has a deep personal connection to our history just by telling her story to others. You will find her beside her Bootblack wife sharing her stories and making a safe space for the younger generations who are in need of the loving embrace that she gives. Whether through providing unwavering support at an event behind the scenes, helping on the bootblack stand with advice or even a little spit, Charllie's passion, leadership, and love for service leaves an undeniable mark on those around her.
