Syn, WILL 2016

August 5-7, 2016, Reesey, Tink and Syn, three brave and remarkable women competed for the title of Women’s International Leather Legacy (WILL) 2016.

Each contestant was interviewed by a panel of judges, and were required to conduct an interview with preselected individuals during the weekend and to present a 6-minute overview of that interview on stage Saturday night. In addition, on Saturday afternoon, each contestant was required to present a 6-minute presentation on an aspect of women’s leather history that they felt was significant. The final category of the evening was the onstage “pop question”, where the contestants answered a serious and a funny question on stage.
