HEARTS PARTY Weekend

The above pic is from the annual Hearts Party Weekend kick-off event honoring Mayor Daley and Abbot Labs. From left: Colin Fisher, event co-chair; Nena Ivon, Saks Fifth Avenue; Michael Jackson, president of the Hearts Foundation; and Mayor Daley. There were lots of parties during the weekend, which benefitted AIDS Legal Council, Test Positive Aware Network and Howard Brown Health Center. However, despite the fact that there were many cameras and other recording devices at the events, we weren't allowed to shoot most of the parties. Pictured are some of the revelers waiting for the Uptown Theatre action to start, including these guys on "stair-roids," below. Photos by the Hearts Foundation and Israel Wright

Leather Museum & Archives Weekend

The Leather Archives and Museum held a variety of events to celebrate the grand opening of the first permanent home of the world's only museum dedicated to the leather community. Above, middle, are Museum Executive Director Joseph Bean and founder Chuck Renslow, who also received the leatherman of the century award during the sold-out Centurian Awards Sunday. Bean and Renslow are at the ribbon-cutting Feb. 17. At right is Larry Townsend, leathersex author, accepting an award. The Mr. Cellblock contest was also held during the big leather weekend.
