CAMILLE O'GRADY AS "JACK SAVAGE"
Camille O'grady as ‘Jack Savage’
"my male alter, created in the early 70’s; NYC...

Jack placed 3rd as SF Mr Leather in 1979.

Everytime I became Jack, ( I did performances as him) was a revelation.
My best friends ( except for those in on it at a given time)didn’t have a clue it was me, and it was fascinating to interact with strangers and people I knew well as this male character.

Everyone who can should experience being the ‘other".

RICK CASTRO: LEATHER2018- MASCULAR MAGAZINE
SINCE THE GRANDDADDY OF LEATHER PUBLICATIONS- DRUMMER MAGAZINE,
I HAVE CREATED BDSML IMAGES.
WAY BACK IN 1988 I SENT A PACKAGE OF MY FIRST PHOTOS TO DRUMMER.
I GOT BACK A HANDWRITTEN REJECTION LETTER STATING-
“ALTHOUGH HOT, YOUR IMAGES ARE TOO ARTY FOR US.”
TWO YEARS LATER I RECEIVED ANOTHER HANDWRITTEN LETTER FROM DRUMMER.
THIS TIME FROM THE NEW EDITOR- JOSEPH BEAN-
“IF YOU WOULD SEND US ANYTHING, WE WOULD CONSIDER IT AN HONOR TO PUBLISH.”
BOY HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED, AS HAS THE LEATHER LIFESTYLE.
I PRESENT MY VIEW OF LEATHERMEN2018-
ALL AGES, ALL ETHNIC BACKGROUNDS;
TOPS, BOTTOMS & SIDEWAYS. LEATHERMEN WILL CONTINUE TO REINVENT THEMSELVES.
I WILL CONTINUE TO CREATE IMAGES.

His drawings, are famous across the globe and his artwork portfolio, is endless.
Hector himself, is a beautiful, gentle, charismatic and super sexy man, who has donated a lot of his work to help many different causes and to help and support other people when they needed it.
Once again, we are back to support a Brother In Need.
B.I.N. is a program, run by members of the leather community, dedicated to protecting, supporting and helping those individuals who have contributed to the well being of our great Los Angeles leather community.
We act by organizing events with other groups to raise funds, to help the person or people in need.
