Sir Kira
Sir Kira is International Ms. Olympus Leather 2011,Ms. Central Canada 2010, a Leather Lifestyler, Community Promoter, Mentor, Workshop Leader, Panelist, Judge and Performer in the Ontario and Quebec.  She spent her formative years within the Leather and BDSM/Fetish Community. Once she completed her training, she earned the title of “Sir” and was covered (given her cap).  Open and honest, Sir Kira is passionate about the Leather Lifestyle and believes that Leather is a "real time, not online" pursuit. She is "Loud and Proud" at events and can usually been seen mentoring newbies, flogging her boy, Dan, performing a skit, or giving a hands-on demonstrations. Seriously not serious, Sir Kira's leather heart and sick sense of humor debunks the myths of Leather while promoting the Lifestyle.
And if you are wondering where the fun is at.....follow her laughter.
