It is our deepest honour to inaugurate this new tradition with your 2024 International Ms Bootblack, SpankCake. #InternationalMsBootblack #IMsBB #BootblacksFirst #IMsLBB

So while they will keep having the honour of being custodians of the legacy mantle during their title year, no longer will they move forward without a piece of their own history to carry through the rest of their journey.

This beautiful symbol was crafted with intention and care by Skeeter and the team at Mr. S Leather, and it stands as an ongoing tribute to the dedication, labor, and love each IMsBB pours into our community, long after their title year is over.

Beginning this year — and continuing every year going forward — the outgoing International Ms Bootblack will be awarded their own permanent step-down mantle. A personal piece of regalia that they will carry with them for a lifetime.

Following in the footsteps of IMsLBB Gen 4, who, alongside some very passionate IMsBB titleholders like Tarna, Dara, Elisa and Teagan, have championed parity between the titles, we are honored to have taken the next step towards that goal at IMsLBB 2025.

Our International Ms Leather titleholders have been able to keep their sashes — a personal piece of regalia forever symbolizing their legacy — while our Bootblacks have not have a parallel tradition since 2004.

It is steeped in the pride and perseverance of that line and each IMsBB adds their own energy to it, as they care for it throughout their title year. Yet, even as this cherished mantle continues to be passed from hand to hand, there remains a meaningful distinction:

Over time, it has become more than a tradition: it has become a living testament to the journey that each International Ms Bootblack undertakes. Carrying it, carries the weight and legacy of their title line.

In 2013, the idea of a legacy mantle was born and subsequently it was created, though wide community efforts spearheaded by IMsBB Tarna, for the International Ms Bootblack. Each IMsBB since has cared for this sacred piece, infusing it with their passions, energy, and essence.

Your International Ms Leather 2025 VELVET-STORM!!!
