Up Yer Alley

It seemed a lot more tame this year... maybe it was the overcast weather or the influx of tourists. It definitely seemed more crowded even if they did have fewer vendor stalls clogging the alley. The gay papers reported that there were about 13,000 people this year.

When in Rome

My pal Sean was working in a booth selling neoprene accoutrements and I decided to get into the spirit of the event by featuring a vegan harness.

Some people get intimidated by all the guys in black leather, but I don't really associate with them.

To me, it's just part of the spectrum of drag withthe leather folk working the masculine angle, and the drag queens working the feminine.

Of course there were leather booths too

They had fewer vendors this year and the leather stalls were kind of hidden and out of the way. That didn't stop these guys from checking out the dungeon supplies. I didn't see anyone walking around carrying a sling, but Puppy said he saw a few people in it throughout the day...

Service with a Smile

The boot shine booth is always a hit with this type of crowd. They did have other entertainment as well...

They say that men on fire can't wait for rain... and the SF leather community couldn't wait all summer for the Folsom Street fair, so they decided to have a micro version in July to tide them over to late September.

With all of the scandalous day wear wandering about, I was surprised by the controversy stirred up by my necklace. I heard so many comments about it all day. It's a little gold playboy
bunny logo.
Urthgurl gave it to me for my birthday a couple of years ago and I've worn it before, but it seems like people only really noticed it today.

Here's a candid Q shot found on someone's Web Site.
