Although my fur bikini days are behind me, all this talk of faire made me look up some of the things which remind me of those days. When I was going to cons, BLT or Black Leather Times was a little photocopied zine that made people either laugh or tear their hair out. I think every issue had a specific theme. At any rate, the conventions issue is archived online at this link. There is a funny interactive quiz to determine whether you take healthy care of yourself when you go to conventions. There are Helpful Hints for Misanthropic Sexpots. There is a hilarious Convention Lexicon and Phrase Book where most expressions are invitations to cavort in the sheets. Or at least sexually cavort somewhere. I especially like the Con-Sex Purity Test/Checklist which included entries such as #11 In the hotel lobby bathroom and #12 With someone that at least five people you know have slept with, but that you have never slept with before and #26 With hotel staff to keep from being thrown out. Writers include some of the allstars who went on to do Blue Blood and White Wolf.
