Saturday, June 16th, 2012

NEW YORK, NY May 10, 2012 — The 29th annual Leather Pride Night Auction will take place on Saturday, June 16th, 2012.

Jo Arnone, LPN’s veteran auctioneer, will preside over almost a hundred items being auctioned, including leather and latex fetish clothing, unique toys and equipment, art objects, event passes and tickets, and much more.
