International Mister Leather (IML) is an international conference and contest of leathermen and leatherwomen held annually since 1979 in Chicago, Illinois. Always full of a huge assortment of leathermen and sexual fetishists of all shapes and sizes, IML is really a great place to soak in some of the more wilder sensibilities of human sexuality. It’s like being Jane Goodall, only these chimps wear leather!

Come join me and Marc Felion as we take a quick look at some highlights from the vendor floor at this years International Mr. Leather Conference 2009.

The Fire Eating Drag Princess

The Fire Eating Drag Princess

Fausto Fernós sings a spanish version of “Aquarius” and eats fire. Taped at the Feast of Fools Live Show, April 1, 2000 at the Hothouse in Chicago, IL.

Nine years ago, we were doing our show as a musical variety show chock full of colorful performers and drag queens here in Chicago, Illinois. I’d begin every show with a little fire-eating ritual to “clean” the space and sing a song, accompanied by Taylor E. Ross on the piano.

In this video I’m singing a spanish version of “Aquarius” and eating fire.

Jason Smith captured some video clips from the Chicago protest the decision of the California Supreme Court to uphold Proposition 8, a referendum to take away the right of same-sex couples to marry in the state.

In the video I’m talking about how fighting marriage equality is a cash cow for religious fundamentalists and conservatives in the U.S. Next to me is video blogger GoatheaderEd.

Special Edition FOF: Generation You

 
 Standard Podcast [53:39m]:

Generation You- Hosts and Panel

Much like society in general, the gay community is stratified along age lines. Gay men are living longer than ever and some older folks feel disconnected to the younger generations that have not had the same experiences they’ve had.

On the other hand, young people seem to be forging their way forward in this world without the benefit of mentorship from older gay people. Is this a sign of progress in gay rights or are younger people blind to older people’s experiences? How do we find the common ground for conversation and camaraderie among people of different ages?

On today’s special edition of Feast of Fun, we’re teaming up with Project Crysp to bring you a podcast forum taped in front of a live audience at the Center on Halsted in Chicago, Illinois.

We have a THINK PINK TANK- a multi-generational panel of experts on how to break down the barriers when it comes to age differences: Bill Rydewells, a founder of TPAN (Test Positive Aware Network) and a member of SAGE, the Center on Halsted’s Advocate and Service group for GLBT Seniors; Tony Alvarado Rivera, a coordinator at the Broadway Youth Center’s LGBT Mentor Program, which aims to build healthy relationships between generations in our community; and Chris Bartlett, the director of the Greater Philadelphia LGBT Leadership Initiative.

Listen as we take you on a deep discussion on what it means to age as a gay man and how we can bridge the gap to become a happier, healthier and more connected society.

Plus questions from the audience live! You don’t want to miss it.

Video simulcast with Outworld.tv, we interview model, singer and actor Ronnie Kroell, who made news as the second runner up in Bravo’s reality TV show “Make Me a Supermodel.”

His intense friendship with fellow contestant, the straight prison guard Ben DiChiara, became a focal point of the show and often out-shined the public interest in the competition itself. After interviewing Ronnie, we can easily understand the attraction, he’s handsome, charming, witty, sassy and sharp as a tack.
