Come celebrate the fifth anniversary of Venus' Playground, the women
and genderqueer area of Folsom Street Fair!
Whether you wear dresses or jeans, sport boots or stilettos, and fancy
leather, muscle shirts or corsets, if you identify as a woman in the
past, present, or future, or as non-male genderqueer, you're welcome
to join us on Ninth Street, just north of Folsom.
[See Map]
Our area includes a women's demo tent with exciting educational
demos on a variety of kinky subjects, MC'd by Gabrielle Antolovich,
IMsL 1990. The fun starts at noon and runs until 5:00pm, beginning with
awesome Taiko drumming by T, followed by Queen Cougar's Spanking Party,
sexy sexologist Essin' Em, and some fun scary nastiness with 'Doctor'
Eve Minax. This is just a partial list of our presenters for the
day! A complete schedule of presenters and demos is coming soon.
You can meet our own International Ms. Leather 2010, Mollena Williams,
and International Ms. Bootblack 2010, Jayson DaBoi. And, pose for pictures
with them!
We also have a fully-equipped dungeon with crosses, cages and benches
for your playful pleasure; a bootblacking station where you can have
your leathers and boots shined; Venus' Playground t-shirts and water
for sale; and a shady area with tables and chairs where you can sit and
enjoy the eye candy all around you.
Plus, we have a mixed gender area open to all of our friends! The
stage will feature live entertainment from 12:00 to 4:00pm with an open
seating area where you can relax and take in the sights.
