Folsom Street East

I absolutely loved celebrating LGBT Pride day at a special "Pop Up" of the notorious Folsom Street East festival, New York City's most sexy street fair, which celebrates Queer Leather, Fetish, S&M and Kink culture and expression.  Folsom Street East , named after the similar Leather fest in San Francisco, took place on June 27, 2021 inside and on the side street outside of Rock Bar, located at 185 Christopher Street in Lower Manhattan's West Village.

I loved having fun with all my Leatherman friends and with Filipe Rose, the original Indian from the classic Disco group The Village People

Drag March NYC

I had the best time ever at the 27th Annual New York City - Drag March  on June 25th 2021.  The March begins with a gathering and ritual in Thompkins Square Park in Lower Manhattan's East Village and proceeds West to the site of The Stonewall Inn, where a rebellion against police harassment started the birth of the modern LGBT Civil Rights movement on June 27, 1969.  The March also celebrates the culture of Drag and Gender non-conformity.  And it honors the brave and fierce Drag Queens and Transgenders who were the first to stand up to the police.  

I had a wonderful time with all my Drag, Trans, Gay, Lesbian, Straight allies and Performance Art friends including members of the Radical Faeries, Cross-Dressers Internatinal and the NYC Disorder of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence!  This year the Drag March honored my dear friend Rollerina, has been a famous and beloved Drag personality (originally on Roller Skates) since the 1960s,  Rollerina led the march with pride in a pedal cab!
