Demetri Moshoyannis on the Feast of Fools podcastGet 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!

The somewhat controversial Folsom Street Fair Poster, 2007Demetri 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?

Watch Those Tan LinesGet 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.

Harry Potter is looking fine!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.
