Along with the Pride Rally (which, though we might enjoy seeing Madame, sounds like a snore), Folsom Street East marks the kickoff of Pride Week in NYC. Though it may not be as large or as famous as the Folsom Street Fair in SF, it's bound to be just as Dirty with a capital D (okay, maybe not). There used to be an actual leather scene in Manhattan, and there used
to be a bunch of dirty-ass bars and sex clubs around the Meat Packing
District, before all of New Jersey showed up and it became the new
SoHo, or midtown, or something. Anyway, we'll stop dating ourselves. The event is now held on West 28th Street between 10th & 11th, 2PM to 8PM on Sunday, June 22.
Performers at this year's event include emcee and porn queen extraordinaire Chi Chi Larue, rock legend Bob Mould, drag queen Trai LaTrash and porn pup turned dance-pop singer Fredrick Ford.
It's an occasion for all proud leather daddies to emerge from the brickwork of the five boroughs, and for all the semi-pervy guppies of Chelsea to don the outfits they bought for the Black Party in 2002. And given that it's usually pretty hot in New York at this time of year, we're guessing the boys will be out in force and wearing as little as possible.
UPDATE: For all you pervs, and sex tourists, and just plain tourists who'd like a free, all-expenses trip to San Francisco during our best weather month of the year-for the real Folsom Street Fair-the Sword presents news of this contest. Sign up for Sword updates to learn more.
