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.

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.

Hey buddy, want a beer?
Always a fun time, the Mr S Leather Store Party on Saturday was a hot time as frisky men shopped and hung out with friends. With Up Your Alley or as the locals call it, Dore Alley happening the next day, it was tough to make a decision on what outfit or accessories to buy. With tons of new items, the shopping baskets were filling up quickly. Watching the boys try on jocks, wrestling singlets and leather was a blast. Of course there were hard dicks everywhere, which is what is supposed to happen when you put on fetish gear. To see more of the fun, click on the photo.

The 2012 San Francisco Pride theme was “Global Equality” and it was interesting to see how it was interpreted by the various groups that marched. There certainly were a lot of contingents. One hundred and ninety nine plus some protesters made for a very long parade. I waited for the Leather Contingent which finally came by at about 3pm. There were many long gaps in the parade and lots of people got tired of waiting. Don’t know where the “Gap Police” were this year!
Dot Jones from Glee, Sarah Silverman and Carmen Carrera were the celebrity grand marshals and Sister Roma was one of the Individual Community Grand Marshals. The Grand Marshals are the public emissaries of Pride. They represent a mix of individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender community. With the help of community input, Pride selects these groups and individuals as Grand Marshals in order to honor the work they have put into furthering the causes of LGBT people.

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.

The Sonoma County Pride Parade and Celebration, “Gay By Nature” took place June 3rd in Guerneville and was well attended. The weather was perfect and the Russian River Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence were divine. The Pride parade kicked off at about 11am down Main Street in Guerneville with the traditional Dykes on Bikes. Grand Marshalls this year were LGBT-friendly 5th District Supervisor, Efren Carrillo and Dr. Marshall Kubota, a Sonoma County AIDS health-care provider with a career dating back to the first infections in the county. The celebration was held on the beautiful grounds of the Guerneville Lodge. There was plenty of entertainment and Sister Femme Fatale was our mistress of ceremonies.

Grey skies and rain couldn’t keep the hot men away or from showing off at the Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco. Actually, the rain only lasted about an hour and then the sun came out for a great afternoon of hanging out with friends and checking out all the hot men in leather.
