Plew was ready to be whipped, and the crowd was ready too. I wondered what they expected, but regardless, we can't do just anything to titillate our crowd. Van lifted his right heel and planted it on the slave's chest. He uncoiled a flogging weapon (probably a scourge) and then lambasted the slave from side to side. Lightly and playfully, of course! After some of this minor punishment, he turned the slave around, his back now facing the crowd. He lambasted the slave's back with the scourge a bit more, and the slave's skin turned a pinkish red. Thus ended the punishment, and the crowd seemed enthralled, even though we were very tame with our fetish display.
Van then demonstrated his finesse with his 20 foot whip. The two photos below show Van in action. He was able to crack the whip, but had to be wary of the perimeter the crowd had created, since our fetish entourage did not carry any malpractice insurance! He decided not to punish the slave with the whip, as this is a very delicate procedure and may cause "discomfort."

Van was now ready to release the alpha slave. Just as he began unfastening the latticework around Plew's appendages, Midori graced us with a visit, right out of the blue. Her obscure name, back story, and true identity are all a mystery to me, but we took plenty of photos, and maybe you can begin to build your own hypothesis around this brief encounter. Below are three photos of Midori with our entourage. For one of the poses, Van showed that he can execute a genuflection in high heels! This is a bonus talent.
All the while, we forgot that we still had our slave bound and blindfolded. Oops! We also realized at this time that Van had a "wardrobe malfunction." He split the strap on one of his shoes, forcing us to wrap his foot with black tape to fasten it to the broken high-heel shoe.

We freed our slave, and we then marched onward, towards the sausage stations and the pedal-operated masturbation machines. I couldn't quite fathom the sight of these machines in action as we passed the booth where they were being demonstrated. I did not take pictures either, though some of you may have wanted to see some visuals of this new craze. I pretended that I never heard the megaphone announcements explaining how their machines operate, but look at me. Two weeks later, I'm blogging about it. O.K., next subject.
We pranced down Folsom, hit the end of the fair, and returned to the center where sausages, beer, and lemonade were being served. I somehow wound up with a polish sausage, and looking at what I was eating was giving me flashbacks of the pedal-operated masturbation machines. As I ate, I looked around to realize that we were in next to a large dance area, so we retracted our huge canopy and hung around for many photo opportunities.
In the first photo below, Van poses with Hamilton my canopy-mate, who kept the rickety canopy stable and in one piece! The second photo includes Van, Plew the slave, and me. The third one, Van announces our exit strategy out of the fair.

We then attracted some fair-goers and evildoers, and we invited them all for pictures with Van. We somehow attracted a pair of Southern Comfort Twins, both of whom were easy on the eyes (first and second photos below). I couldn't find the Southern Comfort booth where they bought their drinks. Before I could ask them, they vanished into the alleys of fetish and foolishness. Another mystery, for after two hours of roaming, we never did see a Southern Comfort booth. They must have smuggled those drinks into the fair!

Then, things got a little holy when we realized that standing to our left was a knight in full chain mail. I didn't catch her name, so herewith I dub her... Sir Dyke-celot! Then with Van wielding his dreamcatcher once again, they started looking like a band of medieval crusaders. So, I snapped a photo, and to my astonishment, I captured a sunburst along with the Holy Crusade. But Sir Dyke-celot had vanished into thin air by the time I pressed my damned shutter. There were other men who seemed to form the crusade, and here's one that I managed to capture (far right).

After about one hour, we had enough of this area, and we assembled the canopy once again to make a most memorable exit away from Ninth Street. As we prepared, we grabbed one last bystander in an outlandish costume for one last photo opportunity. She didn't give her name, so we'll just refer to her as the Geisha Unit. Inspect her wares in the first two photos below. We then tossed Geisha Unit aside and down towards Ninth Street we descended, towards the portable toilets, where Van got a little dirty (last photo).

We exited the fair gracefully, albeit exhausted. We disassembled our props and peeled off the leather gear that had been constricting and asphyxiating us for most of the day. Many of us realized that this was the best time we have ever had at Folsom Street Fair. It wasn't so much what the fair had in store for us, but rather how we affected masses of people, causing thousands of dropped jaws, high-pitched shrieks, salutes, and many other reactions we have not seen until this day. It was a bonding experience, and I was glad to be one of the crusaders.
Thus ends our story of Folsom Street Fair 2005. I was originally going to split the story in three, but I censored quite a bit, leaving two parts to offer to my readers. There will be plenty more events like this that will demand a story, and I'll be there to tell it. Something that you'll most certainly want to read about next year on this website: BURNING MAN 2006 !!!

Van looks amazing! I've been to Folsom Street before but I think he's costume is one of the most creative I've see and he can pull it off..
