What a busy night it was last Saturday, November 22nd. The crowd kept the staff busy as the waited for to find out who the next Mr. Detroit Eagle 2009 was going to be. Three contestants took the stage and after three rounds of interviews and on stage presentations it was decided. John B. is the new MDE 2009!

"Having the title of Mr. Detroit Eagle bestowed upon me could have never happened without the support of the many people who showed up for the competition, the friends and bar patrons who believed that I had it in me to accept such an honorable position, and last but certainly not least, to the judges who I believe had the hardest job of all. THANK YOU ALL!

Every contestant gave his all to win the title and each one had unique qualities that set them apart to represent The Detroit Eagle, the Leather Community in Detroit and moving forward to represent at IML in May. I believe the decision was a very hard but fair one and I have accepted these responsibilities with open arms and I am prepared to make 2009 the best year yet! Thank you to the judges James, Dale, Matt, Rich, and Ron.

Thank you to the previous and current titleholders, ICON Members and my bar family who came in on both nights to wish me luck in the competition. You gave me the courage and confidence to move forward.

I’d also like to send special thanks to several people who hold a deep place in my heart. Craig, Shawn, Katie, Brandi, Aaron, Ann, Brandon, Jason, Kerry, Kimmy, Cheslea, Dak, Tom, Billy and Torria just to name a few. Without these people in my life to support me I couldn’t have made it to where I am now.

I’d also like to thank Mark and Ryan with NoirDungeon.com for helping me create and alter some of my wardrobe which I wore in the competition. THANKS GUYS!

So many thanks, so little space. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

There will be more communication from me throughout the year and I have already begun to plan several events to promote The Detroit Eagle and the Leather/Fetish Community as a whole. Let’s have more turn outs at the Eagle like we had on the night of the competition!

Keep your eyes peeled for upcoming events on The Detroit Eagle website. Sign up for email updates as well!

I hope to see you all out and about soon!

Sincerely,

John B.
Mr. Detroit Eagle 2009"

Congratulations to John and many thanks to everyone who came out to enjoy the evening.

Once again the ICON Detroit crew hosted an amazing night at the Eagle. The evening's events included bondage and rope demonstrations as well as a fetish auction. Our fine bootblacks were hard at work taking care of visitors from near and far and members of LIFE Detroit paid a visit as well as Mr. Michigan Leather.

DETROIT, MI (09/12/08) – The men of ICON Detroit leather club plan a weekend of leather and fetish fun at venues across the city October 10-12. Events scheduled during the club’s 15th annual run weekend include ICON Unleashed, a hot combination of dance, demos and deviance at Backstreet Nightclub Friday, October 10.

Unleashed–a fetish ball–combines the elements of leather, fetish and kink with a night out of dancing. A previous version, held in January of this year, was by far the largest leather-themed dance event in Detroit since the now-defunct Geared for Life parties. The upcoming Unleashed Friday picks up where that last event left off, and once again features bondage and S&M demos courtesy of Detroit Bondage Club, plus a “hottest gear” contest, door prizes, go-go boys, performances, wide-screen multimedia slideshow, horny guys dancing all night long and more. “We expect a large, diverse crowd from around the Great Lakes area ranging from the experienced to the curious and everyone in between,” says club president Craig Anderson.

The following evening will see the return of the popular gathering of leather/fetish folk at The Detroit Eagle, Sat. Oct. 11. The gathering is a reunion of leather family and friends, featuring a Fetish Family Dinner and Fetish Bash, silent auction, bootblacking, door prizes and surprises, plus appearances by special guests and all three of ICON’s current titleholders—Randall, Mr. Leather Cowboy, James, Mr. Detroit Eagle and Trooper, Great Lakes Bootblack.

ALL cover proceeds benefit local and state charities: The Ruth Ellis Center, providing shelter and services to homeless and at-risk LGBT youth in Detroit; Triangle Foundation, one of America’s leading LGBT advocacy organizations; and AIDS Partnership Michigan, providing HIV education, prevention and support services.

Your Webmaster regrets that his battery in his camera was dead last Friday.  As a result, there are no pictures of our good friends from ICON Detroit as they welcomed locals to the Eagle during their IML Send-Off.  There are no pictures of the winners of the raffle that took place that night.  Worst of all, there are no pictures of Mr. Detroit Eagle tied up with clothes pins clipped all over his half naked body.

Our own Mr. Detroit Eagle sent out the request, "Clean out your closets and find that kinky gear, bring it to the Eagle, register it and tag it for sale". Dozens of men did just that and on April 12th visitors to the bar had the chance to purchase not only leather but also videos, fetish gear, memorabilia and other items.

Our own Mr. Detroit Eagle is asking you to "Sell your Kink".  We all have some fetish items stored away. Why not give them new life? One man's trash is another man's fantasy.

On Saturday, April 12th bring in your kinky gear, register it, tag it for sale, and if it sells you receive 90% of your ticket price with 10% going to charity.

This is a great chance to do some spring cleaning and make some cash or even pick up some new gear for yourself.

Congratulations to the Detroit ICONs on their 15 year anniversary.  If you missed their post Valentines' Black and Red Bash last night at the Eagle you also missed a great night out.  As always, the ICONs proved they know how to throw a party.

As part of last night's event the ICONs present our own Mr. Detroit Eagle, James, with his club colors. ICON Detroit presented BullmanX, John C. and DJ John with Honorary memberships. Special recognition was also given to founding Members Buck and Alleycat (pictured to the left) for their 15 years of leadership. 

Congratulations guys! We look forward to the years that follow.
