KRON 4's two bestest fag-hags (Catherine Heenan, Jan Wahl) and Donna Sachet inexplicably managed to do a decent job covering this year's LGBT Pride Parade. (Bonus points go to field reporter Henry Tenenbaum who didn't know how to pronounce Kamala Harris' name, must to her disgust.) But, of course, their coverage focused on blindly happy, newly married queer couples and their doomed -- doomed, we say! -- children. Gross. But! Here are the totally NSFW......

We've received a few curt emails this afternoon, upset over our use of the image in "Strip Club Etiquette: De-tipping?" Sexy, no? But It seems if we post a female form that's neither a tweaked out, Nair-estranged Burning Man girl, nor a zaftig, of-a-certain age Codepink protester, many of you dear readers get all aflutter. (PS, though, we thank you for sending us personal email on off-topic discussions such as this.) That said, it's......

San Francisco took part in the World Naked Bike Ride this past weekend. This critical mass protesting dependency on fossil fuels/an excuse to see women's breasts seems more popular abroad than over here, but a few local, nude riders managed to make it out. Did you see any nude riders heading up Market Street? Flickr's 3dollarbilly did. Above is some of the (rather grainy) footage he managed to capture of the floppy action going......

By Joe Kukura Our Bay to Breakers coverage – which kicked off this morning in a post so drunk and confused it had to be deleted – continues without shame as we direct you to this handy Bay to Breakers Liquor Store Locator. Many of you know how long sections of this race course are painfully lacking in places to buy additional smokes and booze for your continued "running." But with knowledge of a......

Oh my. Here we have a shot of a protester taken at Saturday's CoS protest at the Washington/Columbus/Montgomery intersection. Since we found it at encyclopediadramatica, we have to ask: real or fake? For all of you randy readers, the NSFW version, complete with visible areolas and such, can be found after the jump. Enjoy.......

Just prior to last week's No Pants Subway Ride (AKA: No Pants 2k8), a few improv-appreciating activists went on a mooning spree of the blue kind. The nerve! But don't take our word for it, check out all of the shocking naked-butt action, above. And in front of the Irish Bank, no less! (Brilliantly brought to you by Viddyou's nahduhlee's.) To check out some photos of the naked BART riders, do visit No Pants......

Wasn't "wardrobe-malfunction" a runner-up for Word (Phrase?) of the Year a few years back? (We have neither the energy nor patience to look for it. We're in the midst of a Walgreens discount holiday candy comedown, and it's painful. Seriously.) Anyway, at the risk of sounding like SNL's "Weekend Update" circa 2005, we present to you a couple of mannequins who look like they were either interrupted in the middle of a sexual assault,......

This week, Phillyist saw the waters of a landmark fountain run red for a Showtime marketing stunt, the Phils pull ahead, and some serious nostalgia. They also got a chance to review an awesome tribute album, reminded folks to see the King and appreciated their beautiful skyline. Chicagoist knows what it's like to like the Cubs. But naming your kid Wrigley Fields? At least they can breathe a little easier now that Grossman's out......

-- San Mateo Bridge shuts down, then opens. Ta-da. [Examiner] -- Dan Noyes on Jerry Lucas, the sanity-estranged man who followed a then-pregnant Jill Rabinowitz into her garage, severely beating her with a can of paint. He might soon get sprung from the funny farm. [ABC7] -- Streets such as "Van Ness Avenue, Broadway...Harrison Street" and more could turn into toll roads under a proposed city plan to ease traffic congestion. [Chron] -- Viggo......

Well, we suppose this is sort of like those Portraits In Grief type thumbnail portraits of murder victims we suggested to the Chron -- yesterday's paper featured a long article about Allan Broussard, a serial car burglar who was shot to death last month. He was shot clutching a car stereo he'd just stolen. A suspect has been arrested in the case, who has a long rap sheet of his own, but the cops won't......

As much as it amuses us to know how many of our straight male friends will actually click on a link promising naked pictures of teenage girls, we really feel the need to implore all of our MySpace friends out there to resist the temptation. You see, links like this serve one purpose. Even though we know that the internet is primarily for porn and reading SFist, there are evil people out there who......

Just when we started feeling like the disconnect between today's urban youth and, well, people from our generation couldn't get any bigger, we ran into this gem outside the Metreon on Wednesday. We were on our way for a little well-deserved retail therapy at Bloomingdales during our lunch hour, when we saw this stache-adorned MUNI bus stop ad of Selma Blair on Mission at 4th. It's nice to know that mustaches are still as hilarious......

LAist is experimenting with blogging dates from J-Date, but finds the best men are found offline. Some date vicariously online and that is one reason why porn is big -- really freaking big -- so they ask if they should cover XXX since the heart of it lays in the city's San Fernando Valley. A writer grapples with her food porn photography obsession, another gets censored on Flickr, one gets scooped by the LA......

Killer Cupcakes, served at night? Sounds like some dark, sexy, yummy fun is happening tonight at at Albion Alley near the Kilowatt Bar. Pretty hostesses will serve killer cupcakes and candies, and there's a mural project to take in. There's the added bonus of refreshing bevvies available for purchase inside the Kilowatt. 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at 3160 16th Street in SF. Skip over to the Roxie after your sweet tooth is satisfied,......

We're guessing most of you are hungover from St. Patrick's Day. We are too. But still, we're going to muddle on through our green haze and give you (drum roll please...) this Week In -ists....

bunch of developers have gotten together and proposed building some really fracking huge towers in the SOMA district at 1st and Mission We're talking taller than any other building in the city by at least 350 feet. We're talking higher than any building in the U.S. outside of New York and Chicago. And we're not just talking one tower, we're talking two towers. And a plaza. As well as two 900-foot structures and a 600-foot companion. All part of the development plans surrounding the Transbay Terminal. ...

Let's get it on! ARTworkSF brings us their annual One Night Stand: The Pleasure Zone tonight at SOMARTS Cultural Center (934 Brannan St at 9th) from 5-9. "A single evening of performances and art in celebration of the human body and an exploration of sexuality through NUDE, EROTIC and FETISH imagery and themes", all proceeds from the event go to San Francisco Sex Information and the San Francisco Artists Resource Center. Just as sexy, in......

Well, how nice! As we were diligently reading the weeklies on BART for tomorrow's post, we just happened to come upon (read: immediately turned to) the results for Best Local Blog: Reader's Poll (page 46 for you print fans), already writing the "We get beaten by DailyKos -- AGAIN" sentence in our mind. So you can only imagine our surprise to discover that your very own SFist actually won this year! Wow! Thanks for reading......

It starts innocently enough: first you're just stretching your neck now and then while you're sitting at your office computer. Next thing you know, you need a flexbility hit every day -- squeezing your hamstrings before walking up a hill, pulling your arms behind your back all night long instead of going out and seeing your friends, spending all your cash on yoga mats rather than paying the rent. But the high keeps wearing......

San Francisco is proud host of a new reality show called "How to Get the Guy" that's unfortunately not a descendant of Will and Grace, Queer Eye, The L Word, American Idol etc. Also a biodefence lab is coming to the East Bay and SFist teaches wine pairing. Getting on the wrong train sucks. Getting on the wrong train and becoming the victim of what will later be described as a "stabbing spree" really sucks.......

Seattlest saw a house party get senselessly attacked with a shotgun and end in seven dead. A local senator is debated and their version of the big dig is investigated. To truly get to the bottom of it they interview the writer Jonathan Raban. Bostonist has its first birthday party and investigates how to attach more gambling dollars to the Red Sox. Benjamin Franklin is celebrated and Johnny Damon is not. Image by Ethan Bagley......

Your occasional roundup of protests around the Bay. Photoblogger Thomas Hawk passed along this gorgeous shot of ferry workers protesting the National Park Service's decision to launch a ferry service to Alcatraz with anti-union Hornblower Yachts. Go to the Indybay site and check out their pictures of the ferry drill team! Extra bonus: Frank Chu in the background. Two strikers outside Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley were injured in protests today -- one striker was pepper-sprayed and another struck by a car. The strikers claim that the injuries were caused by security workers, but the hospital claims that a cleaning woman trying to get to work was the pepper-sprayer (but say nothing about the getting hit by a car thing.) No one was injured enough to need to go to (presumably another) hospital, though. And SF children's advocates rallied outside City Hall yesterday, with suitcases as props, to protest how San Francisco pressures middle class families to move out. Only 14.5% of the city is under 18 (from 25% in 1960. Children make up 27% of the state), 62% of families leaving the city are poor or middle-class, and 64% of families leaving SF are families of color. Picture of the ferry workers by Thomas Hawk...

Man, every day in 2005 had some kind of good San Francisco Bay Area news story -- whether it was the lady who planted the finger in the Wendy's chili, Bill O'Reilly, explosions downtown, anarchist yutzes in the Mission, and nude art in bars, to pick some totally random examples we pulled from a disorganized riffling through the SFist archives search engine. How can we pick just one favorite news story for the entire......

Because many people celebrate some version of a gift-giving holiday this time of year, it seems like a responsibility of ours to cough up some kind of locally focused sexy shopping guide. No problem there. But we're feeling conflicted, and not just about what kind of ball gags to get Uncle Bobby and Aunt Whitney. It seems like this is a year when everyone and their autofellating office mate is churning out some kind......

Kim Knox at Left in SF provides a handy listing of schools on the block for mergers and closures, and the board has decided to shut dow n the elementary school on Treasure Island. Looks like The City won't be able to provide any sort of internet connection to the public at Monday's scheduled public hearing on TechConnect. Maybe one of you has a brand new 3G modem? iPod jacking -- it's like 'dogging,'......

This came over the wire from helpful tipster Thomas, who found it on Craigslist:Need topless model 18-30 to stomp my grapes for tastefull [sic] documentary film. Pay is negotiable. Will require about 2 hours of time. Please send pic and resume.Hmmm. SFist Derrick tells us that nobody actually stomps grapes anymore outside of Portugal, and we doubt it's traditional to do it topless. But hey, sounds like easy money. Figuring this item would feel......

Thanks to all of you who entered yesterday's contest for passes to see Come Fly With Me Nude, and congratulations to the lucky winners! As we told you yesterday, The Film Arts Foundation and Larsen Associates are offering free passes to several of the Film Arts Festival screenings to SFist readers, how cool it that? Today's contest is for passes to see Scared New World Tuesday, November 8 at Oakland's lovely Parkway Theater at......

We here at SFist are looking forward to the The 21st Film Arts Festival of Independent Cinema, which runs from Nov 3-9 at the Kanbar Hall and the Roxie Cinema in San Francisco, at the Parkway in Oakland, and at the Rafael Film Center in San Rafael. Film Arts and Larsen Associates are offering free passes to several of the Fest screenings to SFist readers, starting with today's giveaway of passes for you and......

First the pit bulls rise against the humans -- and now it's the trees! A man sitting on a bench and minding his own business in North Beach's Washington Square Park was almost brained as a huge branch of the shade tree above him snapped off and fell. Fortunately, the branch just barely missed him. The tree will be humanely euthanized (i.e., cut down). Prurient brunchers have a new stop for eggs over easy: Sausalito is up in arms about reports of a nude swimmer sunning himself outside the windows of Spinnakers. To Sausalito's chagrin, he likes to flip over and do the backstroke. And Sonoma County Judge Elaine Rushing was sentenced to 10 days in jail and three years of probation for a DUI in June, when she was found with a .19 blood alcohol level, having driven her car with two flat tires into a wall. Because she was a judge in the county where she was arrested, the state attorney general's office handled the case. Cheap irony alert: Judge Rushing was noted in Sonoma County for the harsh sentences she handed down to drunk drivers. Rushing will perform community service in lieu of the clink. ...

Wow, it wasn't even six months ago that the Chron exposed their ignorance about blogging, and they've already up and gotten themselves one! We were a little pissed at first, what with the blatant bite on our (hardly unique in the blogosphere, we admit) style ("We" much?), but, hey, we're on their links list, which is more recognition that they usually give to us. We're a little sad they don't list us as one......
