International Mr. Leather 2022 winners

 

IML 2022

Mr. Leather Belgium 2020-21

Gael Leung Chong Wo

I am a 40 years old architect, who was elected as Mister Leather Belgium in march 2020. The pandemic started one week after the election, so I had to find a way to work on my project #WeAreFetish” that focusses on the inclusion of all people within the Fetish scene. I started a website and a Facebook group that promotes Diversity in all its forms and from different backgrounds. As son of a half-Chinese/maurician father and Belgian mother, I always had to fight for a spot in society. I recently turned #WeAreFetish into a non-profit-organization that will help in providing more publicity and funds to minorities towards acceptance.

First Runner-up

Mr. Mid-Atlantic Leather 2022

Duke

Duke was raised on the Great Plains and prairies of Kansas, where he spent his childhood working on a hog farm. That’s right, he loves getting down and dirty with the pigs… and then working on the farm after!
If you don’t find him sitting by the fire at the Clifton Pleasure Club or working out at the gym, you’ll find him at the feet of his Daddy or cuddling up next to his Alpha. He calls the DMV area home now, but regularly visits Kansas so he can get his fill of his favorite food: Kansas City style BBQ.

Duke is Mr. Mayhem Leather 2021 and Mr. Mid-Atlantic Leather 2022. As a titleholder, his philosophy is not to say no to any organization that asks for his help if he can. He was raised to believe that you never say no to a friend in need.

Second Runner-up

Mr. Mid-Atlantic Leather 2020-21

David Spivey

David has a background in language and linguistics. He dedicates his days to the pursuit of higher education, and his nights to the pursuit of...less savory…but more interesting options. His passions include international travel, learning new languages, seeing unique places, and finding joy in the experience new cultures offer.

He has held the Mr. Pittsburgh Leather Fetish 2019 title, as well as the Mr. Mid-Atlantic Leather 2020/21 titles. He is a big believer in service with a smile! He has been involved in community organization and support since the age of fifteen, teaching English to migrant workers, volunteering at church, and then in college providing workshops for LGBTQIA awareness in rural Georgia.

He has continued this passion for service throughout his title years, supporting local and significant regional charitable events, hosting his online cooking show “Mangia!” in support of Proud Haven, a Pittsburgh-based housing unstable/homeless youth organization, and spearheading a local food drive to name a few.

He looks forward to experiencing IML with his class, and is excited to meet many for the very first time!

Mr. Ramrod 2019

Blade ONYX

 Blade's Leather journey began in the early 1990’s when he made his first venture into the Eagle in Jacksonville, FL. While leather had always peaked his curiosity, this experience would open doors to a whole new world. Life eventually led him to Fort Lauderdale where he would often visit the Ramrod, Eagle, and Jackhammer, determined to learn more.

In 2017, he encountered the Men of ONYX Deep South, which was a chapter in formation at the time, and felt like he had possibly found a home. In 2019 Blade became a member of ONYX Deep South. He is currently Mr. Ramrod 2019 and also serves as Vice President for ONYX Deep South. Blade believes that Unity in the #commUNITY is the way to build a stronger foundation that enables us to create a community that works for the greater good of all of its members. Blade is a hugger because he feels like hugs, relieve stress, anxiety, depression and loneliness…but most of all because #youmattertome. Blades’s kink/fetish interests are bondage, impact play, breath control, and water sports.

Mr. Eagle NYC 2020/21

Michael Jeavons

Yeah, you may have seen Michael around and that is no accident! Everywhere he goes, fearlessly living his daily life, clad in some form of the fetish which he has adapted to exude his own personal point-of-view, Michael seeks to show the world, and maybe even inspire all he encounters along the way, that we all have the right, and power, to courageously be and/or pursue absolutely ANYTHING we desire. Always reminding himself, over and over, that if he wants the world to change for the better….the first move must be his and that in order to be surprised by the people around him…he must give them the chance and opportunity to do so, too.

Mister Leather Europe 2020-22

Stevio Blackhart

My name is Stevio Blackhart. I’m a 29-year-old Leatherman living in Milan.

The fetish world intrigued me since I was 13. From the beginning, the Internet was my trusted teacher, just like Virgilio for Dante. This was my secret journey for a long time since I came out at only 21.
When the fetish community took my hand it was one of the best things that happened in my life because the Internet couldn’t show me how warm people within the community could be.
I met so many people that changed my life forever and i will bring some of them in my heart for the entire life.

I’m Mr Leather Europe 2020-2022 and my mission is to bring more young people to the fetish community by showing the warm and friendly side of it.

Mister Leather Norway 2019

Per Helge Nylund

I am the northernmost Mister Leather in the world. From my hometown Tromsø in Arctic Norway, I want to spread Leather pride and awareness, using my visibility to spearhead fetish freedom and sexual joy for all people. I don’t believe in shame, but in knowledge, acceptance and equality.

Being fortunate to live in a place where queer rights are well respected, my goal is to inspire the leather community by sharing the Norwegian ways. I run the Arctic Pilot Leather event in November, attracting many international participants. They get introduced to Tromsø’s queer politics and are invited to a Lutheran rainbow mass, alongside regular Arctic fun like husky dog sledding and watching the Northern Lights.
Tom of Finland was my first Leather inspiration, and I am a lifetime member of the Tom of Finland Foundation.

During the pandemic, I made snowmen in my garden and gave them gear to have a frozen fetish party. Neighbors loved it!

Let the Leather culture be open, friendly and inviting. I wear my Leather with a smile, and I want you to show me what your pride is.

Bavarian Mister Leather 2020-21

benji waters

I grew up in a small village. In 2015, I moved to Nuremberg where I live with my husband with whom I am almost 10 years now together. Since the headquarters of the company I work for is located in Berlin, I am often found there.

In my free time I like to do sports - I often go to the gym. In summer I like also to drive my convertible or get on my motorcycle - of course in a Leather suit.
The preference for Leather and fetish has developed very early. For me fetish means to be able to live out as I am. Fetish accompanies me every day and is a part of me. I am glad that I can show my true self and be as I am.

The most important values for me are honesty and reliability.

Mister Leather Chap’s Belgium 2017-18

Kevin D. Dyson

I owe so much to our Leather family. From an extremely introvert boy, I became a Leatherman with values and self-esteem. While I am always happy to meet new people, making the very first step still remains a personal challenge. Lockdowns due to the Covid-19 pandemic has affected us all; My husband and I descended to hell and I luckily came back but…alone. Surviving the suicide of a life partner is awfully difficult. Suicide and its prevention should not be taboo subjects so does prevention around PnP, Fisting accident, etc. I am working on showing off that no one should be ashamed of asking help and support on subjects somehow considered as taboos.

I want to shout out the following message “You are not alone, and you will never be!" I am alive and I have a second chance; I want to demonstrate that as low you can fall down there are many happy and beautiful ways out other than the extreme ways. Every day of your life is worthy to be lived. Leather hugs!

Sneaking onto my parents PC in the middle of the night, enthralled with Jeff Stryker screen shots printed out and hidden under my mattress. I felt an immediate draw to Leather and the lifestyle it represented. I would walk through Wilson's Leather in the mall taking in its intoxicating scent. I was lucky that even though I was raised Mormon my agnostic father showed me how to appreciate and explore the world. Appreciate the things that make us different. This allowed me to develop my own beliefs and world view. From my love of art to my eventual exploration of Leather and kink.

It took me many years to actualize the visceral draw and join the community I call home and am proud to represent. My first title I won, Mr. Akron Leather 2017, started me on a path that led me here. Representing Ohio as Mr. Ohio 2020-21.

Mr. Palm Springs Leather 2022

Andre Law

When I first started this journey it was all about curiosity. As my curiosity became more of a reality, I wanted more and more. Born in Oceanside, CA, California is where it all began. Growing up with my two older siblings and tons of cousin’s, life was not so bad. There were ups, downs, twist and turns, through it all - and with the strength of my family - I was able to overcome life’s obstacles and be who I am today, Me.

Living in Los Angeles for 15 year's with a great career in the educational school system was such a gratifying time. Now residing in Palm Springs, I have taken on new challenges. Working in one of the top Palm Springs restaurants as a bartender has become a new love of mine. Being able to provide for my parents making sure they are comfortable in their older age also lead me to this wonderful place I now call home.

Wanting to be more connected with my fellow brothers and learn the ins-and-outs of this Leather world from the men who created it and lived it, I decided to run for Mr. Tool Shed. Winning the title led me to Mr. Palm Springs Leather. I am so grateful and proud to be the voice and leader of such an exceptional tribe of Leathermen here in the desert. My journey has begun and I am honored to be headed to IML to see where this journey takes me.

Mr. Buckwood Leather

Garrett Dean

Hello Leather Family! My name is Garrett Dean. I’m 40 years old. I use he or they pronouns and I currently hold the honor and responsibility of the Mr. Buckwood Leather title. I am a queer naturist, a country western dancer and instructor, and a dedicated Leatherman. I first entered the Leather, fetish, and kink lifestyle about a decade ago and find amazing community here. I wear some piece of leather everywhere, at all times because in 2016 a good friend told me he was afraid to hold my hand on the street in Chicago. Because of that admission, I decided that the leather I don each day is there as a visual reminder of my connection to our community and a commitment to standing as a visible ally to any member who feels afraid to be their full, authentic self at all times. For me, my queer identity and my Leather identity are deeply entwined and I look forward to learning more about it each during my IML journey with my brothers, siblings, and each of you.
