Both the left and the right politicized AIDS and mis-stated risks. Both thought it was the end of the world. To a lot of people, I'm sure it seemed like it at the time. quote:
I think Leather is eternal for its defiant directness. Willfully sexual about piss, filth, and a boot at the neck, it's a dose involuntary truth serum. Whatever your first reaction is, you're probably stuck with it. That's also why practically nobody wants to open that box. And some respect for a living Leather Man Landmark: The Leather Man on Christopher Street outfitted the scene back in the day and is still churning out artisan pieces at Stock Room prices. To visit them is to fall down the time tunnel back to 1978. My bride tried on one of those biker caps (we'd just seen The Night Porter) in the store. "Old guard"?, I asked the guy (older than me, even) behind the counter. "You really should make her earn that", he said. We bought some tee shirts instead. It's their thing, and as long as the last living 100 or so players can keep it a little pure, we'd call that a good thing. Yeah. Caps especially tend to be considered "earned" leather. Not particularly something you shop for with the recipient.
