Jackie Thompson

Jackie is often the quiet one but the first one into any dark corner…usually to stir up trouble! Her philosophy has always been to have the most fun possible and get as many people to join in.

Jackie built upon that belief with the Capitol Bus Crawl which united Leather folks and the best of our Leather bars in the Mid-Atlantic. For over 12 years, the Bus Crawl was an event of “Fun & Fucking up AND down 95! The year she was American Leatherwoman (2017) saw the Bus Crawl happen 3 times raising funds for BHT’s Billy M. Thompson Jr. Memorial Fund and the Carter Johnson Leather Library.
