Get your fetish gear ready folks! Whip it up. Whooo. On today’s Feast of Fools we’ve got Demetri Moshoyannis, he’s the sexy executive director for the Folsom Street Fair, one of the largest spectator events in California.
As one of the few occasions when sadomasochistic activities are encouraged and performed in public, it attracts a considerable number of sightseers and those who enjoy the attention of onlookers as well as the hundreds of photographers and videographers.
Folsom Street Fair is part of San Francisco’s Leather week, taking place on Sunday Sept 28 in San Francisco!
Demetri talks about the how the fair went from being a neighborhood gathering to a full on freak festival and the controversy over their 2007 poster, a queer take on DaVinci’s famous “Last Supper” painting.
Fundamentalist groups called the poster an offensive take on a religious image, but why did they ignore the Simpsons’, Battle Star Gallatica’s and all the other pop icon takes on the same painting?
From time to time we take phone calls from you, our listeners. We want you to think of us as your Magic Eight Ball and ask for advice, or just to tell us what is most important to you. Our advice may not be the most sound so please let us know in the comments section. What’s your opinion?
Get out of the sun! Scientists say suntans are unsafe at any level. The same mechanism that tells a cell to get tan destroys DNA which is the first step in mutation that may lead to cancer. You’ve heard it for years but we really hope you are using sunscreen. But, on the other hand maybe the British scientists who conducted the study are just trying to justify their pale complexions.
Daniel Radcliffe’s naked American debut in Eqqus. Paul gives all the details about young Daniel’s manscaping techniques and whether he was really into his love scenes with his female costar or not. We had no idea that Daniel’s character rides bareback on a hot male actor portraying a horse. Yippee Yee ha! Giddy up and go!
All this and more on today’s gay fun show!

September 19, 2008 at 14:18eh, I don’t think I could deal with seeing submissive women anywhere. I just hate seeing women be submissive to anything/anyone. I’d probably cry if I saw a woman on a leash, being punched and forcefed water. Bleh..
Otherwise, give me a corset and a whip and a bisexual guy in a harness, and I’m ready to go

September 19, 2008 at 14:34Oh, and another thing.. Adding onto the Gay Republican thing.. Our Gay Pride fest is this saturday and there was a pre-pride event at a local gay bar that I went to last night. The whole thing was sponsored by Obama “Obama Pride” so they asked “Who all here is going to vote for Obama?!” Surprisingly, not many people clapped other than me and a few other people. The drag queen in charge said “What? Okay then, how many of you are voting for McCain?” and a LOT of people clapped. She asked some of the people why they were voting for McCain. One of them was straight and the other was gay. The gay one said “Because my family has money”………….. The most stupid answer ever. The drag queen then says “But honey, you’re gay..” lol
Just felt like sharing

Folsom Street Fair sounds like the shit’s tits. I wonder if there are any balloon fetishists?
Lee says:
September 20, 2008 at 07:17See now when Eqqus came to Tokyo there was no Harry Potter and no full frontal. I Feel robbed. I must also mentiion that my friend who saw it in London commented on Harry’s rather red balls.

September 19, 2008 at 08:48You forgot buttless chaps as a NEED for a complete leather look.
We should have a big party while Fausto is out of town, we’ll break a vase, glue it back together and then say “Mom always said ‘Don’t play ball in the house”
Great song and I don’t lend money to people either - it never comes back : -(
