Empire Person of Kink Competition
For decades, the Stars MC set the standard for leather excellence in the Capital District. Their legendary Mr. Empire State Leather competition was a beacon for the community, producing titleholders who represented the region with pride on the national stage. We honor the mentors, organizers, and leathermen of Stars MC who built the foundation we stand on today.
While the scene remained quiet for a time, the spirit they fostered never truly left. Empire Person of Kink™ is proud to carry that torch forward into a new era—honoring our "Old Guard" roots while opening our doors to the beautiful, diverse future of the Leather and Kink community.
Empire Person of Kink™ is a premier leadership title produced by Chained by Chuck LLC™. This state-wide competition identifies a representative for the New York LGBTQ+ Leather and Kink community who embodies the values of consent, community service, and authentic queer identity. The inaugural competition will be held February 26–28, 2027, in Albany, NY.
The titleholder serves as a New York State ambassador, fostering unity and visibility across the Empire State throughout their title year. Whether hailing from the bustling streets of NYC, the historic halls of Albany, or the vibrant communities of Western and Central New York, the Empire Person of Kink™ stands as a voice for our collective future.
