We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of John Cheshire.

John was a much loved part of Melbourne’s leather, rubber and fe**sh community. His warmth, playful energy and unmistakable personality brought joy to so many people, and his presence will be greatly missed.

Our thoughts are with John’s friends, loved ones and everyone in our community feeling this loss.

Vale John Cheshire. 🖤
