Karin Bleie prolongs title year as Ms Fetish Eagle Amsterdam
In March 2021 Karin Bleie received the title of Ms Fetish Eagle Amsterdam 2021. This started Karin’s year of ambassadorship for the fetish community in the Netherlands.
Because this year was characterized by covid measures that also meant that Eagle Amsterdam had to remain closed, the title is prolonged with another year as Karin Bleie will be Ms Fetish Eagle Amsterdam 2022.
Despite the fact that it has been a tough year for every community, Karin has been able to do a lot for fetish, in front of and behind the scenes. As Ms Fetish Eagle Amsterdam 2021, she has been interviewed by gender studies students, she has been interviewed in various drag talk shows, participated in online game shows, she was a jury member in the World Fetish Song Contest and she lectured doctors and sexologists in training. She participated in the CSD Bremen pride walk to show that kink belongs at Pride, and she represented the Dutch fetish scene during Arctic Pride in Norway. At Folsom Berlin she was a panelist in a discussion about whether kink belongs at Pride, and during the Red Light District Open Days she was able to explain to dozens of curious people why a club like Eagle Amsterdam is a safe place for the LGBTQI+ community.
For Pride TV, Karin was co-host in a talk show that portrayed the similarities of different fetish communities, and she has managed to reach a very wide audience through television appearances in Ik Durf Het Bijna Niet Te Vragen (BNNVARA) and Dit Is Mijn Keus (RTL5).
Karin Bleie was born in 1979 in Rotterdam and has felt at home in Amsterdam for two decades. She is a fetishist heart and soul. Karin is an avid fan of leather, latex, uniforms, PVC, school uniforms, age play and, like she says, anal olympics. Karin is a sex educator, community builder, ambassador, pioneer and emancipator in the field of fetish, and in her shadow life she is a business analyst at an Amsterdam university.
Karin has the title of Ms Leather Netherlands 2020 and is one of the chairmen of the Fetish Pride committee of Pride Amsterdam.
Eagle Amsterdam, founded in 1979, is the oldest Eagle club in a global network of Eagle clubs: fetish clubs that contribute to creating a vibrant and safe environment for the LGBTQI+ and fetish community. Owner Michael Roks has a close collaboration with other bars and clubs in Amsterdam to offer a varied program for an international audience. Learn more: www.eagleamsterdam.com
