We’re thrilled to announce our fifth contestant for Show Me Leather 2025 is Lady Scarlet! She’s stepping up to compete for the Miss Missouri Leather title.

"Lady Scarlet is a budding Mistress and Leatherwoman who is excited and humbled at the opportunity to run for this honor. She is 31 years old, originally from Saint Louis, Missouri and an Aquarius. Her pronouns are She/They and "Yes, Mxtress" and identifies as a Sapphic pansexual and Primal Switch, though She leans hard into the left side of the slash. Scarlet lives with Her partner whom She has been with for the better part of a year and a half, as well as one of Her treasured s-types named bunny whom She and Her partner co-own together. She preaches providing education in the kink, leather and fe**sh lifestyles whether the information is found in books or taught in a practical manner in the playroom. She is also a strong advocate for mental health awareness. She knows that someone cannot attempt to fill another's cup while their own runs empty. Lady Scarlet is currently a full-time professional do******ix and content creator; She is always excited to learn something new to bring to Her clients and of course Her loved submissives.

In Her free time, you can find Lady Scarlet either on Discord talking to Her friends and chosen family, at a local play party, event or munch, and sometimes at Her favorite card shop in Springfield. More recently, She has taken to playing games of Magic with Her lovable and catty slave girl, lisa as well as Her live-in slave girl, bunny whether T/they be in person or online. She has also started playing D&D with Her partner, girls and T/their mutual friend; once a week you can find Her exploring with Her halfling gunslinger She has aptly named Miss Fyre. When not in leisure, you can find Lady Scarlet with Her partner in the kitchen cooking with him, in the gym working on Her physical self or Her nose in a book working on strengthening Her mental physique. Lately, She has been reading multiple lifestyle books and developing not just Herself but Her s-types and Her community. Within the last year, in order to better Herself and Her s-types, She petitioned for and was accepted as a mentee under Master Lily Noir of The House of the Black Lily where She continues Her studies and development to this day. She believes She is required to consistently take in knowledge to then impart that knowledge on others. Lady Scarlet also treasures Her nightly calls spent with Her girls. The three take the time to read lifestyle nonfiction, discuss moods, work through the mental health of Her kin and spend time bonding. She finds those calls make it easier to maintain a solid Mxtress and slave relationship with slave lisa despite her being hours away in Chicago and only able to visit for a weekend most months.

Lady Scarlet is running for this title in order to provide education to femme-presenting and non-binary individuals and help introduce them to leather while still respecting its foundations. She is going to work towards introducing trans and/or non-binary people into our community and to the customs at Her local leather bars through various themed nights geared towards those individuals but open to all. She hopes this will allow integration of all these different groups while also respecting the space and comfort of cis males and anyone else present.

Despite Her Amazon-like build at 6'6 and choice of gothic clothing and makeup, Lady Scarlet absolutely loves to meet and talk to new like-minded people, especially at leather and lifestyle events. She also has fundraising experience and is looking forward to using that to benefit Her community as a titleholder. Please don't be afraid to approach Her but make sure you have some time; given the right topic, She will talk your ear off and loves to crack an occasional joke. She's very much looking forward to meeting (and catching up with) all attending and running for the huge honor of being your 2025 Missouri Ms. Leather!"

Join us at Tropical Liqueurs STL to cheer on Lady Scarlet and all of our contestants as we celebrate Missouri Leather, community pride, and one unforgettable weekend together!

The next contestant running for the Show Me Leather Pet title is none other than Pup Byte!

"Pup Byte (He/Him) Is a friendly service pup who loves connecting with members of the community and welcoming new pets and critters Based in Kansas City, he is a member of Midnight Howl KC, serving as the current Vice President and an associate member of the KC Pioneers.

Byte has been in the pet and critter community for a little over two years and is loving every minute of it. He has rediscovered a sense of play and found a way to unwind from everyday life. When at the mosh, you will most likely find him relaxing in the ball pit, cuddling with stuffed animals or looking for ways to help out.

Although his name is Byte, I promise you he is friendly and does not actually bite. He is a technology lover who grew up taking things apart and seeing how they work. It was this love and curiosity that was the inspiration for his name.

Byte is a lover of music, movies, and playing board games, especially Catan. When not working or at events he spends his time with his partner and their dog and enjoys relaxing at home or with friends."

Come out to Tropical Liqueurs St. Louis and show your support for Pup Byte, our Missouri Leather community, and all of this year’s contestants! Let’s make some noise and show that community pride!

The next contestant we’re excited to announce for Show Me Leather 2025 is… Pup Neon!

“Neon is stray pup adopted by Rudis Leather Society about 5 years ago. He’s known to light up any room he’s in, partly because of his love of glowies. He may be asexual but this dog is more than happy to roll over for enough attention.”

Pup Neon will be competing for the Pet title this year! Make sure to come out and show your love and support for Pup Neon and all of our amazing contestants.

We can’t wait to see everyone at Tropical Liqueurs in STL, November 7–9, for an unforgettable Show Me Leather 2025 weekend!

We’re kicking off our contestant announcements, and first up (in no particular order) is MelancholyGhost, one of our amazing Ms. Missouri Leather contestants!

“MelancholyGhost has been a vibrant force in the LGBTQIA+, polyamorous, and kink communities for over two decades. With a passion rooted in education, collaboration, and bold communication, she’s been a catalyst for change across the St. Louis area and beyond. Her mission? To cultivate spaces where diversity, equity, and inclusion aren't just buzzwords, but the foundation of community.

Never one to sit back and wait for the world to catch up, MelancholyGhost brings the heat through Seductive Tees LLC, her unapologetically expressive business that uplifts voices from all corners of q***r, poly, and kink life, with just the right touch of vanilla and a dash of sass. Her work centers on empowerment, visibility, and helping others discover their own version of self-expression and joy.

While she’s proud of the progress already made, MelancholyGhost isn’t done. Not by a long shot. Because to her, true living means lifting others up, and she’s just getting started."
