Mr. International Rubber [Edit]
Mr. International Rubber (MIR) is a title contest held each fall in Chicago, Illinois to select the Mr. International Rubber titleholder. It is a widely attended event for rubber enthusiasts, and for the broader leather and kink community as a whole. Local and regional rubber titles feed into the MIR contest.
The next title contest, MIR 24, will be November 6-8, 2020, at the Center on Halsted, in Chicago, Illinois.
The weekend is organized by the Chicago Rubbermen.
