Homo / Nightlife Leather in Name Only...
Posted by Adrian Ryan on Fri, Dec 4, 2009 at 12:15 PM
The hardcore leather folks at Leatherati.com seem to have stumbled upon my little musings about the big changes—for better and/or worse—at The Eagle.
This posting from Adrian Ryan on The Stranger speaks directly to the angst many of us are feeling in the leather/kink community. What the f**k happened to our leather bars? Every city we visit the story is repeated almost verbatim, ie, our bars are "leather" in name only. Go to an Eagle in almost any city (at least in the US) and you're more likely to see tennis shoes and cargo pants than leather. And forget about full leather. The only time we see leather of any quantity is for specialty gear nights and even then we have to tolerate cotton (ewwwww!) sliding against our leathers.
Leathery! Or, um, not...
