On the scene at MLT Weekend

This past weekend a multitude of leathermen and other kinky folk descended on the gaybourhood for the annual Mr Leatherman Toronto Weekend. Friday night saw the huge fetish party KLUB — Kink Leather Uniform Bash — spice things up at the Phoenix concert theatre on Sherbourne St. The party, billed as a night for the casually kinky as well as longtime leathermen, included a fetish show presented by Priape.

On Saturday night at the Phoenix, Mr Spearhead 2009 Peter Dillon took the top honour while Mr Churchmouse/Firkin 2009 Corey Breau was named Mr Leather Fellowship 2009. The other title awarded during the fetish-filled weekend, Toronto Bootblack 2009, went to McD.
