Roxy Bleau

My journey into the Leather community began in 1979 here in San Diego at the Loading Zone, the Iron Spur, Pecs (when it was on Park Blvd) and the Eagle (when it was on El Cajon Blvd. This year, 2024, Roxie celebrates 40 years of introducing herself to the Leather community. In 1984, the Eagle hosted the Tridents’ International Run in San Diego. As a newly initiated member of the San Diego Chapter Wayne served on the Host Committee welcoming our national and international guests while Roxy entertained at the Awards dinner the following evening. Roxy (Wayne) has served as both an Empress and Emperor of the Imperial Court de San Diego. They are a founding member of the San Diego Bears and a retired Sister of Perpetual Indulgence from the San Diego Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. In 2007, Roxy was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Community Leather Awards. Much has changed in the last 40 years; however, the principles of integrity, honor, and respect still form the cornerstones of our all the achievements and successes our San Diego Leather Community has achieved.

Vonn Tramel

VONN is a dominant sadist with a penchant for boots, fire, well-performed “tasks” by good boys, ponies and pups. Vonn’s heart is in both San Diego and Atlanta where one or the other of her two partners live. She feels there should always be an interest in service to your community and she does try her best to live her life by that philosophy.

Miss Vonn is The Leather Journal’s Webmaster, a Pantheon of Leather award winner, and Vonn’s also a member of volunon but admits she’s still learning to put the letters n and o together to form a coherent sound. She has judged several local and international events including LA Leather Bear, ABW and North American Pony & Trainer. After being part of the International Olympus Leather production staff for five years, Vonn Tramel purchased International Olympus Leather in 2016.

In that time he has facilitated discussions about the transmasculine experience in Leather for Fetish Men San Diego, and served as a panelist for several Club X events, including the kinky PoC panel at SD Pride. He is proud of his roots as an Indian man and using leather as an avenue for cultural reclamation.
