Here are a few photos of Bondage legend Derek Pain from the BOUND GODS booth at IML 2010. I found these while going through an old hard drive.

Chip Beam/Chuck Renslow fireside chat that took place at Mr New England Leather contest in November of 2015.
Below is a post and major announcement from Pablo Greene, author of the kinky superhero book series How to Kill a Superhero.
Sometimes, I have felt like kinksters don’t take superhero fetish seriously.
But I don’t like to think on negative terms. I like to take action instead of complaining.
Four years ago, I started organizing the Superhero Fetish Meetups at events like Mid-Atlantic Leather (MAL), International Mr. Leather (IML), and even New York Comic Con.
At first, just a few people turned out to meet up. They wore their best cosplays, they laughed, took photos together. Some even hooked up or fell in love.
And over the years, it grew, and grew. Other members of the community continued to create superhero meetups I couldn’t attend, and I encouraged them to do it, to keep the energy of the movement going. Brian Bolt Donner was one of these key organizers. Thanks to his efforts and energy, he also created superhero fetish gatherings, dance parties and other events that generated community. This work would not be possible without him.
I am happy to announce that IML has made the Superhero Fetish Meetup an official event in its lineup. It’s going to be LIT.
Description of the event on IML’s web site:
May 28, 2-4 p.m., in the Congress Hotel Lobby at International Mr. Leather.

Superhero fetish only gets hotter and hotter in Chicago. Join author Pablo Greene this Saturday, May 13 as he kicks off his residency at Men’s Room Chicago the fashion and fetish shop located in Lakeview. Pablo Greene is the author of How to Kill a Superhero, which blends superhero fetish, BDSM and a rich sci-fi world in his cult book series. Pablo will be joining the rest of the Men’s Room team in store to answer all your questions regarding fetish gear, products and toys. That means he can also autograph your copies of How to Kill a Superhero, his book series, which they carry in the store. You can catch Pablo in store on Saturdays from now through summer.
Also make sure to mark your calendars for POW! The Superhero Fetish Meetup during IML 2017 which Pablo co-organizes with community member Brian Bolt Donner.
Throwback Thursday to a time long ago when a lot of photos had a time stamp on them.
This was at IML 2004. I had just gotten a “Joe Rocket” leather racing suit from eBay and wore it a lot over that weekend. This was the first time that I had ever geared up so much that nobody knew it was me except for our roomie, “DCKidnap”… and the SIR I started flirting with while in the suit. I actually got off in the suit while humping his leg in the lobby of the Hyatt.
You may not be terribly thrilled about the title of this video… but, as Gay Leathermen (and women) we must have a sense of humor about ourselves.
Many thanks to IML 2015 Patrick Smith for being a part of this fun video.
