digg_url = 'http://digg.com/odd_stuff/Photos_Dore_Alley_Fair_San_Francisco_s_Leather_Sex_Fair'; (By Joe Kukura) Yesterday's Up Your Alley Fair is what the Folsom Street Fair used to be before all the tourists pushing baby strollers started showing up. More than 8,000 leather daddies -- and as many as perhaps a dozen biological women -- braved the cold fog wearing little more than a gimp mask and a smile to benefit PAWS, the AIDS Emergency Fund, and others. We tried to limit the......

Gee, this is rich. At a sci-fi conference in Michigan recently, some gent kindly created a system that allowed women to easily express permission for men to fondle them -- what an altruist! And his remarkable, breathtaking, totally unforeseeable discovery: people feel uncomfortable when they are asked to publicly specify their preferred level of anonymous sexual contact. This is how the guy explained his project: I wish this was the kind of world where......

Oh my. Here we have a shot of a protester taken at Saturday's CoS protest at the Washington/Columbus/Montgomery intersection. Since we found it at encyclopediadramatica, we have to ask: real or fake? For all of you randy readers, the NSFW version, complete with visible areolas and such, can be found after the jump. Enjoy.......

-- The Breasts of Sherry Glaser: The protest-y Miss Glaser's comedy and peace activism show runs the gamut from her unsheathed mammary glands to an interpretation of 9/11 and the Twin Towers falling down. Oh my. (Warning: audience participation will occur!) Starts at 7:30 p.m. at The Marsh; $10-15. -- The Velvet Teen: The Velvet Teen rocks. Hard and with perfection. Because that's what they do in Santa Rosa. Be sure to see them......

The nicer the weather gets, the busier we get across the Ist-A-Verse. But we like being busy. Here's a peek at what we've been up to since last week! Chicagoist had an interview with Audrey Niffenegger, whose popular book, The Time Traveler's Wife, was based in their fine city. They also had a heated discussion about Rush Limbaugh's controversial Barack Obama parody, talked about whether Uncle Julio's Hacienda is a good place to get......

SFist interviews Artis Mark Mulroney...

If you've been as disappointed with "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" as we have, then you might be approaching the similarly-themed sitcom "30 Rock," which premieres tonight at 8 p.m. on NBC, with a bit of trepidation. If a so-called "master" like Aaron Sorkin can't write a compelling show about the backstage antics of a late night comedy program, how could a mere "SNL" alum like Tina Fey do any better? Well, we're......

The week between Xmas and New Year's always makes us into shut-ins. Plus, it's raining, like, all the time. We're broke. We're pervs. And there's nothing on TV. But wait: there is. Something very... weird. Yeah, Comcast has made us all its bitch, but now it looks like there might be something worth taking the cable conglomorate's pain for the past year. Starting in October, Seattle's bizarro obsessive film collection company Something Weird Video......

Christmas is all about boobs. Like that biggest boob of all, Charlie Brown. Tonight at 8 p.m. on ABC, the holiday classic "A Charlie Brown Christmas" airs for the 40th year in a row. We always get a little misty at the end, when Charlie Brown picks that sad, sad tree, and watches in horror as it sags to its apparent death under the weight of a single Christmas ornament. And nothing beats watching......

Happy Halloween all you tube boobs! We sort of covered scary TV last week, so if you haven't burned your retinas watching "Breaking Bonaduce," (his jerkdom burns with the intensity of 1,000 suns!), and you still want to spend Halloween watching something scary, we suggest turning on Turner Classic Movies and calling it a day. They've got all the creepiness you need on this All Hallow's Eve. Other than that, this week is a......

Welcome to the fifth and final edition of this week's SFist Watches TV This Week extravaganza! We can hardly believe how quickly the week has gone, nor how many shows we've watched. And thank God it's Friday, because that means our viewing choices are, thanfully, a lot slimmer than they were last night. But just because the choices are slim doesn't mean we're willing to watch whatever the hell is on. Which means that......

Humpy young boys hook up, then get decapitated -- what's not to love? Hellbent, a gay/horror crossover movie, opens today at the Lumiere in SF and the Shattuck in Berkeley. We caught a sneak preview earlier this week with an enthusiastic crowd at the Bridge, and had a swell time. The movie shifts between cheesy-gay-romance and cheesy-horror, comfortably hitting all the notes we've come to expect from both genres: one minute, there's the "shy......

We're up to our armpits in television this week watching new shows and falling back into the warm embrace of returning favorites. But tonight is probably the night we've been looking forward to the most. We're so excited, we can hardly stand it. Two, count them, TWO TV monsters in one evening! What could be better? As we mentioned last week, we love us some Martha, and her daily show has proven that while......

You know what SFist loves? Tits. There. We said it. Love 'em! And we're quite sure many of you love them, too. So we want to remind you that this weekend is the San Francisco edition of the Avon Breast Cancer walk. We've got a couple of friends walking in the SF walk this year and one super crazy one who's walking in all of them across the country. That's some committment to boobs.......

We don't mean to ALARM you ... but it's possible that President Kennedy is in VERY GRAVE DANGER. Although similar recent efforts have mostly failed, our very own Assembly Speaker Pro Tem Leland Yee is pushing a bill -- AB 450 -- that would fine retailers $1,000 for selling M-rated video games to the under-17 set. Leland, himself a child psychologist, points to surprisingly convincing evidence that violent play can lead to violent behavior,......

Contributing SFist Amanda is experiencing the miracle of life firsthand. Her biggest problem so far hasn't been morning sickness or the inevitable circumcision debate, but the eternal question of how to retain one's chic during gestation. She shares some of the solutions she discovered below. Getting pregnant is a wonderful, beautiful thing. There’s the special joy in knowing that a life grows inside you, the hormones make you all blissed out, and suddenly your......
