This year my partner sage and I were again active in the set up and operation of the Realm of Leather at the Festival. Between our active duties we had time to see the Parade and stroll through the Festival.

What to wear, what to wear. Always a major decision. For the Parade sage wore her black and red MacLeo leather (www.macleo.com) outfit and most of the time I wore my full harness and denim shorts. There are some rules on what you can wear and not wear. Bare buttocks are acceptable but(t) there must be at least 2in of material up the ass crack. You can interpret that any way you want. Genitals must be covered. For females the only part of the breast that need be covered is the aureole. So that rule led to lots of creativity on the ladies part.

Covering ones aureoles with 3/4in wide electrical tape seemed to be the rage this year. Of course this décor worked well for some and not as well for others dependent on breast size and shape. sage's breasts are a perky size and but she is endowed with large nipples. So to best cover what was required I strolled throughout the Festival looking for some of the more popular giveaway stickers. I found a good variety and selection so all during sage's duty at the entrance and exit to the Realm sage wore her black leather shorts and a selection of stickers, only, over her aureoles. This while literally thousands and thousands of people strolled by. Here's a picture of sage guarding the Exit:

For the last 5 years I have kept a photographic history of our participation at Pride. Those pictures, including more of sage and her stickers, can be found at:
