Head over to the Castro Theatre July 27-August 3 for the Fabulous Fashion in Film Festival. This weeklong event explores some of the more influential films in fashion, from the classy "Funny Face," and "The Devil Wears Prada" to the campy "Grey Gardens," and "Barbarella."
At the gala opening night event, "Bad Boys of Runway," chanteuse Juanita More! will perform a dazzling opening number, and Project Runway alums Santino Rice and Jeffrey Sabelia will dish about their experiences on the show. All this amidst the opulent settings of one of San Francisco's remaining great movie palaces. For more information visit our web site.
Leather season kicks off July 29 with Up Your Alley, a down and dirty romp for the fetish set in one of SoMA's ultra-urban alleys. Then the bears come out of their caves over Labor Day Weekend for the Hairrison Street Fair, where the husky and hirsute let it all hang out.
If Up Your Alley is the naughty little boy of street fairs, then the legendary Folsom Street Fair is its big, bad daddy. Sprawling through SoMA's streets on September 30, the world's largest leather event is celebrating 34 years of unbridled expression. Closing out the street fair season is Castro Street Fair, October 7. Also in its 34th year, this event is a celebration of the Castro itself, and the spectrum of people who inhabit and visit it.
