Brue with his pup, Cockpit.
The Up Your Alley or Dore Alley Street Fair was filled with butts and nuts of all shapes and sizes. I managed to photograph a few of them and have included them in a slide show of hot and hunky men having fun at the fair. Every year the fair gets better and better, with tons of events going on all weekend and culminating in the Dore Alley Street Fair. Actually there are a number of events that happen after the fair, so you could have partied well into Sunday night. I am sure there were lots of men who did. To check out the slide show, click here.

Sexy Boys, Beer, a Bootblack (and yeah you could get your sneakers done too) and Wrestlers, oh my! A fun afternoon watching all the frisky boys and trying on gear. Found a few things I couldn’t live without.

Sunday’s iconic LA PRIDE Parade featured roughly 130 entries including bag pipes, marching contingents and over-the-top floats all comprised of community groups, businesses and honorees. It was a very energetic Pride Parade with something for everybody. This was the 43rd year that Christopher Street West has produced the incredible LA PRIDE celebration. This year’s attendance numbers only reinforce the fact that the community and our straight allies were energized and excited to celebrate diversity and equality.
This past weekend’s Festival and Parade offered a diverse collection of experiences. LA PRIDE saw the return of many signature events, amazing performances and community partners and sponsors but there were also several “firsts” for attendees including active participation by the National Guard and LA PRIDE’s first-ever Super Bowl Champion.
Extra Host Maria Menounos was the Grand Marshal and was selected for her dedication to the LGBT community. Maria Menounos is passionate about various issues affecting the LGBT community including anti-bullying, HIV/AIDS and marriage equality. Through her public outreach, Menounos has brought more attention to these issues and has encouraged countless others to do the same.
In the photos of the parade, there are a number of the Andrew Christian Underwear models and who can blame me. They are super cute and very fun to watch. Several of my photos were featured on the Andrew Christian Facebook page. I hope that you enjoy the photos of the parade and that you will attend a pride celebration near you. It does still matter to be seen as out and proud!

Fist Fest West was held at the fabulous Canyon Club this year and was filled with hot men from all over the U.S., Europe and Australia. In fact, the surrounding hotels were all booked up, there were so many attendees. The kick off/registration was held at the Tool Shed Bar and was a lot of ffun! In fact it was a bit of a Meat Market. More photos from the weekend.

How to describe the Folsom Street Fair except as a sort of one day Burning Man for the BDSM crowd. It’s a chance for all types of people to come together for a day and share their kinks with no judgement (well not much). It’s not perfect because of all the tourists who just come to gawk, but the majority of attendees are wearing their colors, costumed in some interesting/weird way or showing lots of skin, tattoos and piercings.
The longer you live in San Francisco, the more you begin to accept alternative realities. There’s a reason “Westward, ho!” was a battle cry for pioneers, and not just for people leading their hooded partners around by a leash down Folsom St. People come here from more repressive parts of the nation and globe to reinvent themselves, and to be free. As a result, the fair is an adult-only event celebrating alternative sexuality. This was the 29th annual fair and it continues to attract a huge crowd. For a slide show, click on photo above.

Mr S Leather held their annual in-store party the day before the Folsom Street Fair and the place was packed with guys from all over the world, porn stars, friends and the very helpful employees of Mr S. It was all hands on deck as guys snapped up the latest gear to wear out to the many parties and of course the Fair itself. Several vendors were on hand as well to answer questions and demonstrate their products. Scott from SquarePeg Toys was on hand and the maker of the Fat Boy cock sheath by Perfect Fit Brand was there. The lines to check out and for the free beer were very long all day, but everyone was having a good time and no one seemed to mind. For more photos of the party, click on the photo above.

Flagging with leather flags
After a long, sunny afternoon South of Market for the Dore Alley Fair, I was burnt to a crisp. Yes, I forgot my sunscreen (again)! Despite the burn, it was a wonderful day, filled with men’s physiques and lots of sexual energy. This local and smaller version of the Folsom Street Fair is a great way to let off some steam in a safe, public and healthy way.
It was great to see so many men wearing their leather, the BDSM demonstrations,the porn stars and more. Oh and did I mention Naked Twister! It was truly naked this year, with porn stars and guys from the crowd participating and taking it all off! To see more photos, click on the photo above. To see a video of the hot leatherman flagging click here.

Michael wears an iron collar from Fetters USA and swimsuit from ES Collection
One year ago Mr S Leather remodeled part of the store to put in a locker room with sports themed clothing and underwear. Today they celebrated the one year anniversary of the locker room with an in-store party. Lots of hot guys packed the store and DJ Ken Vulsion provided tunes to shop and play by. The Golden Gate Wrestlers were on hand to do wrestling demos in the latest gear from N2N, Timoteo and ES. Anyone who wanted to get some pointers or go a round were welcome as well.
The dressing rooms were overflowing with frisky guys trying on gear and in many cases they just changed out on the sales floor! There were refreshments of course and lots of friends stopped by to say hello and hang out for awhile. To see more photos from the party, click on the photo.
