Prim & Proper Tea Party Success

I haven't attended San Francisco’s Folsom Street Fair in years, but I was inspired with an idea that would make all the trouble worthwhile..... a Prim & Proper Tea Party, SMACK DAB in the middle of Folsom Street Fair!

"Modesty is the new Kink!" I called, and a huge crowd of friends and strangers alike joined me donning knickerbockers, bow ties, lace, and modest white dresses. We created an oasis of propriety (and proper tea) amidst the sea of sweaty leather at the annual Folsom Street Fair. Sitting in stark contrast to the leather & laytex cladfolks surrounding us, Prim & Proper Queer Tea participants were all dapperly dressed, defiantly demure, and decidedly decent. Which was one heck of a laugh, for people on both sides of the juxtaposition.

This picture captures the essence of tres Victorian. (Check out the spread!)
