A small sample of the photos posted HERE by RichTrove.  Keep in mind, this is just the playful side of Dore Alley (aka “Up Your Alley”) fair.  There’s much more he couldn’t share on his site. 
But, I’m sure he kept all for himself. Right, Rich?  😉
I’ll be posting photos I took sometime in the next week or so. Once I sort through all 600 of them…

VINTAGE KINK: Robert Mapplethorpe

Leather’s most famous photographer Robert Mapplethorpe died 23 years ago on March 9, 1989. Only 100 days later, the Republicans began demonizing him and his photographs of our BDSM culture. Red State Senator Jesse Helms denounced Robert on the floor of the US Senate. Homophobia raged at the height of the AIDS epidemic. Author Jack Fritscher, who was Mapplethorpe’s bi-coastal lover in the 1970s, defends Robert and helps keeps Robert alive and kicking through interviews with a dozen of Robert’s pals in the new Kindle edition of “Mapplethorpe: Assault with a Deadly Camera.”
