Folsom Street Events® Reveals Hotly Anticipated Poster Art For Annual Events

SAN FRANCISCO, May 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Folsom Street Events, the Bay Area-based nonprofit group that creates notorious leather and fetish events, has released the latest poster designs for most of its key annual events: Bay of Pigs™, Up Your Alley®, Magnitude®, and Folsom Street Fair®. This year, the official Folsom Street Fair poster creates a unique installation, portraying the nude human form as a leather and fetish collective.

According to Demetri Moshoyannis, Executive Director, "For this year's poster, we want to pose the question: What makes someone a 'leather' person or a fetish enthusiast? Without the aid of our clothing, it can be impossible to tell who is into what kind of scene. We want to showcase the community from a truly stark, bare perspective. This is who we are – exposed. At the same time, we are asking that age-old question: What are you going to wear?"

Pony Gold, an in-house photographer at Kink.com, shot the Folsom Street Fair poster. Kink.com also generously volunteered their space in The Armory for the shoots, and all of the 23 models donated their time. They are: Tom Whitler, Steve Satyricon, Roche, Lance Holman, Jim Knight, Race Bannon, Mike Pierce, Suzan Revah, Graig Cooper; Sister Phyliss Withe-Litaday, Cyd Nova, Suppositori Spelling, Tara Wrist, Jorge Vieto, Alotta Boutte; Steven Foreman, Josh West, Eden Alexander, boy erik and Daddy Robert, Johnathan Lay, Dominic Sol, and Morgan Black. Mitchell Koonce served as Creative Director for the campaign.

All four images are available online at folsomstreetevents.org. There will be a special, uncensored version of the FSF poster on sale as well. The talented Rob Clarke illustrated the Up Your Alley poster again, producing a super hero-themed image. Joe Oppedisano photographed the Bay of Pigs poster, offering a dark, villainous image. The seriously hot Magnitude poster features Josh West with an orgy of sexy men, as shot by Pony Gold.

Folsom Street Events® is a 501(c)(3) non-profit agency. The mission of Folsom Street Events is to create world-class leather and fetish events that unite the adult alternative lifestyle communities with safe venues for self-expression. We raise critical funds for San Francisco-based and national charities. We value sexual freedom, diversity, and volunteerism.
