SAN FRANCISCO — Shine Louise Houston's Pink and White Productions has teamed with Folsom Street Events to present "an extensive selection of BDSM-themed adult films" via its streaming platform PinkLabel.tv for online attendees of the Folsom Street Fair, hosted by Margaret Cho, this Sunday.
The virtual celebration will livestream from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. (PDT) at FolsomStreetFair.org.
Folsom Street Fair, founded in 1984, is billed as the world's largest leather and fetish event and third-largest outdoor event in California. Earlier this year, organizers elected to pivot to a virtual celebration in response to the pandemic.
“?The safety and wellbeing of our attendees and community members are our top priority," Interim Executive Director Angel Adeyoha said. "It was a hard decision to cancel our in-person events this year, but we hold ourselves and our events to the highest safety standards. Our team of staff and board members take their responsibility to our communities incredibly seriously."
San Francisco Mayor London M. Breed praised the decision. “I know the cancellation of in-person celebrations of the Folsom Street Fair and [concurrent event] Up Your Alley is disappointing, but it is best for the health and safety of everyone involved,” Mayor Breed told the San Francisco Examiner. “I want to thank Folsom Street Events for their careful consideration of the current situation, and for making a decision that is in the best interest of public health but still allows people to celebrate virtually.”
Towards that end, "an array of BDSM and fetish films spanning the 1970s through the present have been curated to provide adult entertainment and education in keeping with the popular leather and fetish event," explained a rep for Pink and White. "With films appealing to porn history scholars to kinky voyeurs alike, there’s something for everyone. Each title is available to rent a la carte, or to enjoy as a member along with unlimited access to hundreds of independent adult films."
"Glimpse at San Francisco gay life in the 70s with Arthur J. Bressan Jr.’s 'Forbidden Letters' and Peter Berlin in' Nights in Black Leather', both depicting iconic San Francisco landmarks," the rep continued. "Contemporary works include AORTA Films, Pandora Blake, Foxhouse and titles like Bonus Hole Boys’ 'Dore Alley Daddy,' 'Tribute' by Max Disgrace, Toni Karat’s 'FagDyke Cruising' and new release 'INSTINCT' a queer art porn exploring cruising across gender expressions, as well as many, many more."
