Donnie's EXCELLENT poster.
Three previous Gear-Up Movie Nights.
A you can see, you can dress up, or dress down.
Mr. Southern California Bear 2014/2015 Donnie Vella has taken up the noble task of organizing a fun excuse to gear up if you've got it!
It's best to arrive early, for photos, socializing and fun!
JUICY DETAILS!
Just getting dressed-up fancy and seeing a movie, simply isn't enough. So, if there is enough time for everything that we have planned…
- There will be a raffle to raise money for charity. Don't be too surprised if the tickets for the Tom of Finland-themed Leather Fetish Ball (coming upon December 8) are among the prizes.
- Marc Bellenger, the Curator and head of Community Development for the Tom of Finland Foundation, will be telling us what it was like to assist in making the movie as accurate as possible.
- After the movie, we are meeting at the San Diego Eagle to talk about the movie. Bring your ticket stubs!
When: Wednesday, November 1, 2017 (the movie starts at 7, but arrival around 6PM is a very good idea. Tickets might sell out).
Where: Landmark's Ken Cinema, 4061 Adams Avenue, San Diego, CA 92116, RIGHT underneath the KENSINGTON sign, at the junction of Highway 15 and Adams Avenue in Kensington.
Here is Donnie, from the Facebook page for this event
Come and Join the Fun at The Landmark Hillcrest Cinemas for the Film based on the Life of Tom of Finland 🇫🇮
Wear Your Favorite Leather Gear in Celebration of the Man who inspired the Revolution
Known to the world as Tom of Finland, the proudly erotic drawings of artist Touko Laaksonen shaped the fantasies of a generation of gay men, influencing art and fashion before crossing over into the wider cultural consciousness. But who was the man behind the leather?
Dome Karukoski’s stirring biopic follows his life from the trenches of WWII and repressive Finnish society of the 1950s through his struggle to get his work published in California, where he and his art were finally embraced amid the sexual revolution of the 1970s. Tom’s story is one of love, courage and perseverance, mirroring the gay liberation movement for which his leather-clad studs served as a defiant emblem.
(We will also be collecting $ for The Leather Foundation by doing a Raffle and taking donations ~ The Leather Foundation is a 501c3 that does a lot to help those in need here in San Diego and also stocks the Bars with Condoms and Lube) help give back if you can.
