Why did no one warn me about San Francisco Lovefest? You'd think that since the parade route runs down market street, I might have seen or heard something about it before today, but nooo. My first realization that this wasn't just another day had to be walking out to get groceries and seeing a man rollerskate past wearing a top hat, white aviator's goggles, bow tie, modesty pouch, and nothing else? At least he had the body for it, unlike some of the people I saw later on the trip to the market who were thankfully wearing more. (although still not quite enough)
What is with the tendency for significantly overweight women to wear hot pink spandex anyway? I saw three of them, and the smallest had to be 300 pounds minimum. I mean, it's quite possible for large women to be sexy, but not once they start to look like blobs of melted silly putty. And spandex is NEVER the fashionable answer. If you've got the body for it, you don't need it and if you don't have the body ... leave it for it's functional uses, don't try to turn it into everyday wear.
And while trying to figure out what was going on today, I found out that tomorrow is the Folsom Street Fair. And, because that's the way the world works, of course I previously had plans to go to a store tomorrow, the best route to which would take me directly through this. I think I'll put off those plans, because for every person who looks good in leather there would almost certainly be two or three that don't. Dignity, people! If you're going to parade your fetishes around in public, please try to be a walking advertisement for them, not a deterrent. If you don't have the self esteem to make sure that you look happy and healthy as a minimum, you certainly don't have enough to be walking around half naked.
