Mission Mission brings our attention to something of the utmost importance this morning: a Converse All Stars-sporting hipster streaker caught by SFPD on Thursday night. An especially brave move seeing as how last night's weather almost dipped down to freezing levels. Anyway, we're thrilled he's wearing Mission denizens' favorite choice in footwear. It made us wonder what other neighborhood locals would wear if, through a combination of drugs and alcohol (or so we assume), they too went streaking in the night. more ›

On Saturday, candid cyclists gathered in San Francisco to take part in the World Naked Bike Ride. How did it go? Don't ask us. This editor is saddled with red hair and thus diaphanous skin. There's not high enough SPF in the world to get us on a bike at noon with our blinding, milky flesh on display for the world to see. Perish the thought. Immediately. However, according to worldnakedbikeride.org, the fleshy ride was a smash. more ›

Our words cannot do this film justice, so we'll allow you to read the email Morgain Tepsic just sent to SFIst. Ahem: more ›

Want to see slinky, kinda nude women bathing in a tank of blood-colored water on Van Ness at noon? Of course you do. According to , PETA campaigner Jena Hunt "organized a protest scheduled for noon today at 600 Van Ness Ave., where two PETA 'chicks' in red bikinis will be crammed together in a tank of 'bloody' water with the message 'McDonald’s Scalds Chicks; to Death.'" (Aside: While we do not care much for McDonald's culinary vision, we highly recommend their Crispy ranch BLT sandwich, which you can get grilled or fried. Well worth the 600 calories. Trust us.) In an interview with the Ex, Hunt explains, there "a more humane slaughter method called controlled-atmosphere killing ensures that animals are killed painlessly while still in their transport crates before they have their throats cut or are handled by workers." Good point, Hunt. Also, there's a "McCruelty: I’m Hatin' It" billboard up at Sixth and Brannan today. more ›

According to Mission Mission (via Plug1), "[t]he police were chasing 2 streakers thru Dolores park, one had no on 8 on his chest, the other had the obama logo." OK, someone needs to fess up. Or, at the very least, send us some pics. (Mission Mission) more ›

According to our dear commie-pinko pals over IndyBay, "around a dozen nudists competed in athletic events" at Sunday's Nude Olympics I, which went down at Baker Beach on Sunday. Did anybody happen to see/compete? The was there, so we're looking forward to a full report. Also, IndyBay points out that "[t]wo of the nude athletes were womyn." And...it looks like they're totally serious. (IndyBay) more ›

Photog extraordinaire Darwin Bell (for The Sword) managed to make it to yesterday's sex-and-fetish gala, the annual Folsom Street Fair. Lucky You. But let's skip the innuendos, explanation, and body-odor hate, and just get to the good stuff: fellatio, fisty sex acts, Sarah Palin drag, mommy parts, butts, boobs, bits, beer, same-sex sex, porta-potties, leather, and family fun. (Need some more Folsom Street Fair imagery burned into your brain? more ›

A disrobed lady disrupted traffic this morning on I-80 at around 5:45 a.m. It seems that the fully naked female was running in and out of traffic willy-nilly on the busy freeway, requiring the CHP and Berkeley police and fire department to bring her down. She was finally taken into custody after jiggling over to the stables at Golden Gate Fields. She has been sent to a local hospital for a medical (and presumably mental) check.

Just a few days before people were performing fellatio in the streets of San Francisco, New York City's famed Naked Cowboy was arrested in Union Square. Sporting a cowboy hat, a guitar, and some "skin-tight underpants" (hey, that's technically not naked!), Robert Burck was picked up by SFPD for "performing his act in a restricted area." Burck, according to reports, was ticked for violating "rules posted in Union Square against soliciting and playing an instrument."(Whew. Way to keep the streets of SF safe, SFPD!) Burck is due in court today. more ›

Yesterday's Up Your Alley Fair is what the Folsom Street Fair used to be before all the tourists pushing baby strollers started showing up. More than 8,000 leather daddies -- and as many as perhaps a dozen biological women -- braved the cold fog wearing little more than a gimp mask and a smile to benefit PAWS, the AIDS Emergency Fund, and others. We tried to limit the amount of naked penis visible in these shots, but in that kind of environment there's only so much a photographer can do. The fully-lubed, unexpurgated photoset can be can be found at DJTennessee's flickr page, as well as a few over at Nature abhors a vacuum. more ›

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. more ›

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.) more ›

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. more ›
