The Bold Italic: Harnesses, furries, and fun - What I enjoyed about Dore Alley this year
By The Bold Italic photographers.
This year’s Dore Alley was a mosh pit of kinky fun, sexy outfits, and playful antics. San Francisco’s kinkiest residents took over SoMa for a block party known as “Up Your Alley,” or simply “Dore.” In near-perfect sunny weather, every age, race, and body type was on display as people explored a very sexy playground for grownups.
I saw people making out, hooking up, exchanging gay handshakes, tying each other up, and spanking each other. The fashion harness industry is thriving in San Francisco as seemingly every gay in town owns at least one, and we all had them on at Dore, and for some of us, little else.
