On to the Fair! It was quite a fetish event, from every fat harry potato ass in town hanging out of leather chaps to great looking guys strutting their firmness. There again was the leather nun along with drag in outrageous Wigstock style. There were guys being pulled by chains and head bondage snoods. Men, women, queer and straight. The best booth was the Man's Hand booth, which was a spanking booth to benefit AIDS Relief Fund. Bill told me, when it began several years ago, they would ask for money from the audience to stop spanking, and found that no body wanted that. Now they asked for money to start spanking. There were many different ways it worked: you could get you one swat for $1. You could swat someone for $1.

They would give you a spanking for $5. There were spankings being performed by and on several of the boys of the "club" at all times. A man with a mohawk would bring a Boy Scout out and say he had been bad and tell the crowd they needed $100. to administer the punishment. So they would raise money from the crowd for ARF before anything would start. GI Joe was then enlisted for some firm although affectionate spank action. The crowd got into it. One woman took all her clothes off and said she could take it better than any of the boys. She bent over a saw horse and requested the fraternity paddle. A man next to me asked where the Boy scout went and was told he was "resting." I suspect there will be some sore hiney in task chairs tomorrow.
