COMMENTARY

A 20th century Mr. DC Eagle, he is the first African-American to hold the Mr. DC Eagle title, a title that everyone who knows him, knows he cherishes. He ranked fifth at the 1998 International Mister Leather competition. The late Thom Dombkowski, former IML head judge dubbed him: "The Dark Horse" who could steal it all. His IML speech, "Where Do You Want To Be?" is one of the few to receive a standing ovation. Part of that speech is quoted in the IML silver anniversary book.

The longest running leather title added another name to its distinguished list of Mr. DC Eagles. A jammed house there for the contest and the celebration of the Eagle's 35th anniversary saw five men step forward to compete for one of the East Coast's most respected leather titles, last Saturday night, November 18, (2006) in the nation's capital.

It was a pleasure to judge the contest with outgoing Mr. DC Eagle 2006 Bennett Long, former DC Eagles Wayne Nesbitt and Herb Kaylor, and "J.J.," co-owner of the Double L bar from Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

BIO
Wayne M. Nesbitt – Leather Biography

Native Washingtonian, Wayne M. Nesbitt is Mr. DC Eagle 1998. Not to be confused with his evil twin of the same name in Chicago, Wayne is the first African-American to hold The Mr. DC Eagle title, and he placed fifth at InternationalMister Leather in the same year. Many leatherfolk say his speach, "Where Do You Want To Be?" was one of the most stirring in IML history. Over the past twelve years you are likely to have seen Wayne volunteering as judge, den daddy, auctioneer, producer, and worker drone for numerous leather events including Bearfest, American Brotherhood Weekend, International Mister Drummer, MAL Weekend, Potomac River Run, Leather Pride Night, North Carolina Leather Weekend, & many others. He is also the co-executive producer of Silent Bid For Life, an annual fundraiser that benefits local and national charities. Over the past five years his work has helped to generate more than 35,000 dollars in funds to support leather organizations like Brother, Help Thyself, Inc., and The Leather Archives & Museum.Wayne is also 1999 Highwaymen Honorary Trash of The Year, and with his penchant for piggy behavior and cruising dark spaces, it's easy to see why. When not in leather and sometimes in leather anyway, Wayne joyfully toils as an Emmy and ACE nominated television director & producer. Wayne is a proud member of The American Uniform Association and The Directors Guild of America.

You are likely to have seen this veteran of our community volunteering as judge, den daddy, auctioneer, producer, and general worker drone. His list of credits is too long to name. He is also the co-executive producer of Eagle Wings, an annual fundraiser that benefits local and national charities. To date, his fundraising efforts have generated more than 50,000 dollars to support gay leather and community organizations like Brother, Help Thyself, and The Leather Archives & Museum. Original pig players, and both versatile, by the way… he and his 15 year partner, Glenn are proudly 1999 Highwaymen Honorary Trash of the Year, the first couple to win that honor.
