Originally from Salt Lake City, Utah, Gage Ryder has called Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania home for the last 11 years. Here, he found his way into the leather community, discovered a penchant for collecting unique pieces of gear, and developed a love for the many kinksters and civilians alike he now calls his family and friends.
As Mr. Pittsburgh Leather Fetish, Mr. Mid-Atlantic Leather 2026, and an IMLBB top-10 contestant, he enjoys mentoring and sharing his knowledge with prospective contestants and titleholders. His focus is to be an ambassador and friend to the community as a whole. In a world where differences pull so much focus, his mission is to invite others to embrace their true selves, to be brave enough to seek to understand every part of themselves, and to be courageous enough to accept the full spectrum of who they are.
Outside of leather and fetish, he enjoys drawing, writing, cooking, exercise, meditation, astrology, travel, tarot, and picking up new hobbies.
Camilla Ashton Queen, aka Costa Lottabuckz, is a born-and-raised Pittsburgh native who proudly stepped into the leather and fetish community in October 2025, when she captured the title of Ms. Pittsburgh Leather Fetish 2026 at Steel City Fetish Con 2025.
In addition to serving as your 2026 Ms. Pittsburgh Leather Fetish, Camilla is a former Miss P-Town, Miss Steel City Snow Queen, and Miss Longbada’s. Her journey through Pittsburgh’s LGBTQ+, leather, and fetish communities has been shaped by a passion for bringing people together, celebrating individuality, and giving back to the community she calls home.
One of Camilla’s proudest accomplishments is becoming the first and only person to be officially sainted by Pittsburgh’s own Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. This honor holds a special place in her heart, not only as a recognition of her work and dedication, but also because it has given her the opportunity to work alongside the Sisters in supporting the community and the charitable work they do.
Camilla is proud to represent Pittsburgh, the leather and fetish community, and the spirit of service, celebration, and unapologetic authenticity that makes her who she is.

As Mr. Pittsburgh Leather Bear, he hopes to lift up the voices of his community while celebrating the joy and pride found in Pittsburgh’s leather and bear families.
Presenting Her Royal Floofiness—Princess Lavender (they/them)! This show-stopping pup isn’t just a pretty face—they’re a dynamic leader ruling with an iron fist.
