Now Patrick, knowing that I am into leather and steel, shows me the other products from Leather Stock. One sniff of the bath and body wash and I thought I was in heaven. Then he shows me the cologne, what an amazing aroma. Being one of those people that can’t say no to anything to do with leather, I got all three products.

I got home and immediately lit up a stick of the incense. Wow was I impressed, the aroma is just astounding. Next thing I know my son in-law is asking “What’s burning?” Now understand, my son in-law is one of those people who like what he likes, and can’t stand anything else. I told him what I had found at the store and he just shook his head.

About half way through the burn my room smelled like a leather shop that just got in fresh stock, I was in heaven. I asked my two sons and my daughter what they thought. My boys said it was cool and smelled good, and my daughter thought I had just cleaned all my leather.  She said it was amazing how much it smelled like new leather. Family approval – 90%.

I had a date the following night and felt that would be the perfect time to try out the body wash and cologne. I love the body wash. I didn’t have to use a lot, and I felt clean after using it and not overly perfumed or sticky. The sent was intoxicating while I washed. God I love leather, and that smell, mmm… I was amazed that it had a nice lather to it, but wasn’t like some of the other body washes on the market that have enough lather to wash you and your laundry.
I find out that Patrick was right, a little of the cologne goes a long way. I don’t know if the screw in the cologne does anything for the aroma, but it does look pretty cool. Now for my date.

The second I got there my date thought it was my new boots that smelled so great. I told my date that it was a new cologne and body wash. Next thing I know my date is all up on me smelling it, and saying how nice it was and that it suits me. “It’s hot enough that you wear leather most of the time, this suits you and it makes you smell sexy.”

So off to dinner we go. While ordering the waitress mentioned how nice my cologne was and asked where she could get it, because it would make a nice gift for her husband. Next thing I know another waitress comes by the table to check on us. When my date went to use the restroom the second waitress came back over and started flirting with me. Asking about the cologne, and why I like leather so much, and really putting the flirt on. OK now I’m impressed with this cologne. But my date wasn’t thrilled, coming back to the table to find the waitress flirting with me. I have never had this happen to me before, especially having a date get jealous. “Back off slut he’s my date!” How cool, two people thought I was hot and one was in a jealous rage.

What a night, and what great products. The products from Leather Stock rate 9 out of 10 in my book. Wonderful aroma, good price, and interesting packaging. All in all, a good purchase. I hope that the folks at Off Chute Too continue to carry these products, because I will continue to buy them. I do wish they had a body spray, but I guess you can’t get everything you want. Or can you? Until next time!

The New Mexico Gay Rodeo Association will hold its 19th Annual Zia Regional Rodeo
July 23 – 25, 2010.

Competition will include rough stock riding, speed, roping and camp events.
Events in the rough stock riding category include bareback bronc riding and chute dogging, but the most exciting competition has to be bull riding. The average bucking bull weighs between 2,000 and 3,000 lbs. and can make erratic moves because the bull’s hide is only loosely attached to its skeletal structure. Bulls are also aggressive by nature and will often charge its rider after the rider comes off the bull.
Speed events are timed events where horse and rider race to accomplish a pattern or course in the least possible time. In all these events, riders are disqualified if their horse “breaks” the pattern or runs outside the prescribed pattern. Pole bending, barrel racing and flag racing are examples of popular speed events. 

Roping events such as calf, break-away and team roping are the oldest rodeo events, arising from the necessity of the cowhand to be able to do “doctoring “on the range and to handle roping duties at branding time. Roping events are timed events, testing the skill of the roper(s).

The most entertaining competition has to be the camp events. Camp events have been designed to allow novice competitors an opportunity to compete along with more seasoned rodeo competitors. The prize purses in these events are usually relatively large for the rodeo. All camp events are timed events. 

Steer decorating is a two-member team event. One team member holds a rope, which is run through a metal ring to form a loop, and the loop is over the steer’s horns when it is released from the chute. This team member stands 10 feet from the chute and the other team member stands 40 feet away and has a 2- foot piece of ribbon. When the whistle blows, the chutes are opened and the steer must be herded across the 10-foot line before the team member with ribbon can attempt to tie the ribbon on the tail of the steer. The team member with the rope must remove the rope from the steer’s horns and then the team member with the ribbon, after having tied on the ribbon to the steer’s tail, runs back into the chute and tags a timer. The team can be disqualified if they attempt to remove the rope or tie on the ribbon before the steer crosses the 10-foot line, if the ribbon falls off before the timer is tagged, or if the barrier lines are crossed before the whistle blows. 

Goat dressing is also a two-member team event. A goat is tethered with a ten-foot rope to a stake or weight in the arena.

The team must fit a pair of men’s briefs on the goat’s hind legs and then run back across the finish line for a time. The team is disqualified if the shorts fall off the goat before they cross the finish line. 

The crowd favorite has to be the wild drag race. This is a three-member team event with one member being a man; one being a woman and the last team member being a person dressed in female attire or “drag”. The cowgirl has the rope attached to the steer and is 10 feet from the chute. The cowboy and the drag are 40 feet from the chute. When the whistle blows, the gate opens and the object is to get the steer across a line 70 feet from the chutes. The steer has to then be maneuvered back across the 70-foot line with the drag straddled on the steer. All four feet of the steer must cross the finish line before time ends.

NMGRA donates a portion of rodeo proceeds to local charities. In the past the organization has donated to POCAF (People of Color Aids Foundation), Walkin’ N Circles Ranch, Inc (Horse Rescue), NM Breast Cancer Coalition, Stanford House, UNM Parent Fund, New Mexico Aids Services, Emmanuel MCC Food Bank, Domestic Violence Legal Hotline and Tierra del Sol (part of Albuquerque’s Healthcare for the Homeless).

The Zia Regional Rodeo will be held at Bernalillo County Sheriffs Posse Arena, 10308 2nd ST NW, Albuquerque NM 87114-2208.

The New Mexico Gay Rodeo Association is a member of the International Gay Rodeo Association. IGRA is comprised of 21 member associations throughout the United States and Canada, and annually, these member associations produce 19 rodeos. Each rodeo season concludes with the IGRA Finals Rodeo. NMGRA was the proud host of the Finals Rodeo in both 1996 and 2000.

Thursday July 29 – Movie Mashterpiece Theatre – Vengeance of the Zombies (7pm) $9

The Phoenix National Comedy Theatre tackles another obscure B-Movie, this time the Spanish gem Vengeance of the Zombies (1972) a la Mystery Science Theater 3000 in a mix of improvisation, comedy and a really bad movie.  Vengeance of the Zombies offers a triple threat performance by Paul Naschy (King of Spanish Horror) as a Hindu mystic, his evil brother and the Devil himself. Zombies, satanic voodoo rituals and gruesome killings combine to make Vengeance of the Zombies a bizarre ride in the best horror tradition, a film that defines the term “euro-cult” as few other films can. Reportedly, practitioners of the black arts have found hidden meanings in the film that transcend the picture’s story-telling plotting, making the impact of Vengeance of the Zombies that much more intense–and frightful..  Laughs galore will ensue as the National Comedy Theatre troupe performs a live accompaniment to this b-movie schlock.

Friday July 30 & Saturday July 31 – Cropsey (6, 8, 10pm) $8

Growing up on Staten Island, filmmakers Joshua Zeman and Barbara Brancaccio had often heard the legend of Cropsey (2009).  For the kids in their neighborhood, Cropsey was the escaped mental patient who lived in the old abandoned Willowbrook Mental Institution, who would come out late at night and snatch children off the streets. Sometimes Cropsey had a hook for a hand, other times he wielded a bloody axe, but it didn’t matter, Cropsey was always out there, lurking in the shadows, waiting to get them.  Now as adults Joshua and Barbara have returned to Staten Island to create Cropsey, a feature documentary that delves into the mystery behind Jennifer and four additional missing children. The film also investigates Andre Rand, the real-life boogeyman linked to their disappearances.  Embarking on a mysterious journey into the underbelly of their forgotten borough, these filmmakers uncover a reality that is more terrifying than any urban legend.

Friday July 30 & Saturday July 31 – Reefer Madness (8 & 10pm) $8 – 35mm

I was lying on a park bench in Cityside Park one Sunday morning, minding my own business just reading a book.  All of a sudden this park guard came up and started yelling at me.  He wanted to know what I was doing there and how long had I been there.  Nothing that I said made him happy – nothing! He didn’t even like the book that I was reading.  Hell today I have to admit I don’t even remember the name of it, other than it was a gay story about two guys.  When he saw it, he really got all pissed!

He grabbed my arm and yelled, “Get up and come with me!  You are a pervert, and we don’t need perverts here in the park!  I’m gonna take you over here to the park shed and let you find out just why we don’t need perverts like you in this park!”

He jerked me up, and started off heading toward the park headquarters building and the shed.  I dropped my book, and never had the chance to grab my backpack that had my college text books in it!  I kept trying to ask what was going on and all he’d say is, “Shut the hell up!”

It took us about four minutes of walking, and maybe some dragging, to get to the shed he was talking about.  He threw me up against the wall and held me there with his arm of steel and tower of strength.

I only stand about five feet eight, and weigh about one sixty five. This brute was probably six foot two and two twenty five or thirty, and not an ounce of it fat!

He grabbed his keys, found the right one, and unlocked the door!  Pulled it open, and actually threw me in!  I landed up against a work bench across the room. He slammed the door shut, locked it, and then he was right up beside me. He grabbed a hold of me, swung me around so that I’d have my gut up against the work bench. He leaned his whole weight up against me, grabbed a hold of my left hand, and where it came from I do not know, but he handcuffed my wrist to the bench.  He immediately grabbed my right hand and handcuffed it also.  Still leaning up against me and whispered in my ear, “So you like to play with guys uh?  You like guys to do stuff to you, uh?  What do you like for guys to do to you?  You’re kinda on the sick side aren’t you?  You’re a little pervert aren’t you?”

Then all of a sudden he actually ripped my t-shirt off of me, then reached around me, unbuckled my belt and pulled open my Levi shorts!  He pushed ‘em down to my ankles and told me to step out of ‘em.  I did, but I sure as hell did not know what was going to happen next.  And what did happen next was a bigger shock to me than anything that had happened yet.  He stepped back and within about thirty seconds, he was totally bare!  In fact I had more clothes on than he did, since I still had my shoes and socks on!

I was sweating, but when I got my head turned far enough to take a glimpse of what was now standing there, totally naked, my heart started beating like a son of a bitch!  My God was he hot!  Muscles and more muscles, and the dick of death!  I did not know what kind of a situation I was in, but I sure as hell knew what I wanted to do to that hunk of a human being, now standing beside me.

All of a sudden — and without any warning — I was paddled! Where in the hell he grabbed that paddle from, I still do not know, but I got it on the ass and I knew it!  My left butt cheek, my right butt cheek, then my left and then the right, and for probably six or eight times on each cheek I got it, and he said, and almost yelled, “Pervert,” each time that wood hit my skin!

My legs went limp, my head fell forward and I let out a cry of, “What in the hell are you doing?  Why are you hitting me?”
“Cause little man, I want your little white ass good and hot, and good and red, when I poke this meat stick of mine up in there and let you know what being perverted is really all about!  I’ve seen you in the park for weeks, and today was the first time when I could do to you what I wanted to do to you, and that is fuck the hell out of the little white ass.”

Without another word, he grabbed some lube that he had conveniently sitting on the bench, smeared some on my ass hole, some on his ten inch long rod, and with just one statement, “Get ready man, here it comes,” he had completely impaled me and made me his man!  I had never been fucked before, and I sure as hell had never played with some big bruiser like this man. The only gay thing I had ever done was get my little white dick sucked on and I once tried to suck another guy, but that dick sure was not like this one before me.  I swear it only took him about three minutes of fast hard fucking to make himself reach his climax, which my ass ate with pleasure.  He then un-handcuffed me — swung me around — and told me, “Pervert, eat it!  Eat it!  Eat my dick!”

Once my park guard got done with me that day, I knew how to take ten inches up in my ass fast, and down in my throat just as fast, if not faster!  That day had made a new man out of me!

The last thing that my park guard told me that day was, “Here’s a shirt for you to put on.  I’ve been saving it for you since I knew the day would come, when I was gonna rip the shit out of whatever you had on, so put this on and be back here again — same time — next Sunday!”

My ass was red, it was hot, and I felt it rubbing on my Levi’s all the way home.  But, my mouth had one hell of a big grin on it, and next Sunday was only seven days away!

In general, it’s best to take off your cock ring after about twenty minutes. Pay attention to the penis; it should never turn cold or go numb (clear signs you’ve had the cock ring on too long). Clean it after use with a toy cleaner.

There are many fetishes related to clothing. A clothing fetish can be classified as a sexual fixation upon a particular article or type of clothing, or a collection of garments that appear as part of a certain type of fashion or a uniform. The sexual arousal proponent can come from the clothing/garment itself, the person wearing the clothing, or how wearing the article of clothing yourself makes you feel.

In theory almost any type of garment can be the subject of a fetish. Common clothing fetishes include footwear, female underwear and uniforms. A wide range of other garments have been the subject of less common fetishes.

Fetish fashion items may include such things as stiletto heels, stockings, miniskirt, crotch-less panties and garters. For example, stocking fetishists usually find sexual partners clothed in sheer nylon or silk stockings to be sexually stimulating, or find the act of a person donning or removing a pair of stockings arousing. Some men find it arousing to collect and/or wear stockings.

Restrictive clothing that limits the wearer’s movement is commonly used for fetish purposes, particularly among bondage enthusiasts. Such restrictive fashion, among others, includes locks, hobble skirts, corsets, collars, full-body latex cat suits, handcuffs, face coverings and other restrictive items. Training corsets and bondage corsets have also become a staple in fetish wear, particularly among BDSM communities. A submissive or slave may be forced to wear a tightly laced corset as a form of punishment or simply restriction. And the masochistic practice known as tightlacing creates a particular type of pleasure for the wearer.

Leather, latex or synthetic rubber or plastic, PVC, spandex, fishnet, and stainless steel can be the material related to some clothing fetishes.

Leather fetishism is the name popularly used to describe a sexual attraction to people wearing leather and or to the garments themselves. The smell and the sound of leather is often an erotic stimulus for people with a leather fetish. Leather uniforms may also become a fetish.

Latex or rubber fetishists may refer to themselves as “Rubberists”. Varieties of latex fetishism include body inflation and attraction to transparent rubber. Latex fetishism includes wearing clothing made from latex, observing it worn by others, and enjoyment of erotic fantasies featuring latex garments such as cat suits, diving or industrial protective clothing. The most common latex fetish icon is the dominatrix wearing a skin-tight glossy black latex or PVC cat suit.

PVC fetishism is often closely associated with latex fetishism even though the two materials are very different. PVC fetishism involves an erotic attraction to shiny plastic clothes made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane or similar man made materials.

Spandex fetishism is a fetishistic attraction to people wearing stretch fabrics or, in certain cases, to the garments themselves, such as leotards. Wearers of skin-tight nylon and cotton spandex garments can appear naked or coated in a shiny or matte substance like paint. The tightness of the garments may also be seen as sexual bondage. Another reason is that nylon-spandex fabric is often produced with a very smooth and silk-like finish, which lends a tactile dimension to the fetish – as well as a visual one.

Even the pony fetish can be considered a garment fetish as it involves the use of equestrian like gear fitted to humans.

Among the most common uniforms in uniform fetish are those of a schoolgirl, nurse, French maid, waitress, cheerleader and Playboy Bunny. Some people also regard nuns’ habits or even aprons as uniforms. Among gay men business attire, Army, Navy or Air Force uniforms, Fireman or Police uniforms are very common. Sometimes a uniform may be used appropriate to what is being done. For example, someone may wear a nurse’s uniform to administer an enema, a police uniform to handcuff and cage someone. This may add a sense of authenticity to the game play.

Nazi chic is a highly controversial topic in the fetish clothing world. Much of the fetish community regards Nazi chic as highly offensive, and most fetish clubs ban overt Nazi symbolism. However, the symbolism of fascist or communist regimes remains popular. A common compromise is to adopt the main design features of Nazi-era clothing, such as peaked caps, jackboots or long leather trench coats with high epaulets and tall collars.

So, can your friend’s uniform night be a fetish? Maybe, or it could be just an excuse to dress up differently and have some fun. Only he knows.
