One of the things that many visitors want to check out while they’re in San Francisco but that locals also love is this city’s drag shows. There are many different drag queens and drag kings who perform throughout San Francisco at various events but if it’s just any old day of the week and you want to see drag, where would you go?

Here are some of the best ongoing drag shows in San Francisco:

• The Hotboxxx Girls. This is one of the hottest drag shows in the city and one of the easiest to go see since it happens every Friday night and every Saturday night at Aunt Charlie’s Lounge. It starts at 10 with a $5 cover and it’s really popular so reservations are recommended. Aunt Charlie’s also has a drag show on Wednesday’s called the Dream Queen’s Revue which has no cover charge.
• Pink Slip. I don’t know a lot about this show yet because it’s relatively new (a few months old I believe). It’s at The Stud every Tuesday night at 11.
• Hayes Valley Follies. This is a show that doesn’t cost a cover and it happens every single week on Saturday nights at ten. It’s at Marlena’s in the hot Hayes Valley neighborhood.
• Charlie Horse. This one is at The Cinch, a dive-y little saloon on Polk Street where the drinks are strong and the girls are too. It’s hosted by former Miss Trannyshack Anna Conda and you get two-for-one well drink specials and popcorn with your show.
• Sunday’s a Drag. If you like your drag fancy rather than in some dive bar then maybe this one is for you. It’s brunch-and-a-show which you pay $50 for and that includes the meal and some cocktails and your queens. It happens on Sunday early afternoons at Harry Denton’s Starlight Lounge.
• Fauxgirls. This is a once-monthly drag show that happens at Kimo’s on Polk Street on the 3rd Saturday night of every month. There are a few reasons to check this one out. Number one, it’s been going on for eight years so these performers know what they’re doing. Number two, it’s fabulous. Number three, it’s free to get in.
• Esta Noche Shows. This is a bar that I’m not familiar with but I’ve just recently read about it and think that I might need to go check it out. It’s in the Mission, it’s been around forever and apparently there are tons of different drag shows there all throughout the week.

These are the best ongoing drag shows that I know of in San Francisco. Got any to add?

Eros is a gay men’s sex club in the Castro. But it’s also more than that. They have an art gallery there where you can regularly see the works of hot local artists. And there are various events held at the venue as well.

Tonight is the opening reception for the newest art show. The artist is Stephen Gibson. He has a really interesting story behind his art - he was successful as an artist in the 1970’s and then found the work too lonely so he stopped painting. Recently he experienced a serious illness that ultimately caused him to find his way back to creating art. Powerful stuff. See his work on Flickr (particularly his male oriented work).

The opening reception for the show is fro 7-9 tonight at the gallery at Eros. The show is called To Eroticism and Beyond and the work will be up through mid-April.

I recently did a post on all of the phallic structures that I see scattered across the San Francisco skyline. After I did, numerous people pointed out to me that you can also find lots of breast-shaped buildings and natural features in this city.

If you’re more about boobs than penises, then perhaps you’ll find yourself titillated by the following 7 breast-shaped buildings and natural features in San Francisco:

1. California Academy of Sciences

Well there are some strange things going on with the cleavage area here but I definitely see breasts at the center of this green-roofed scientific building. It’s such a family-friendly place that it’s got milky warmth written all over it.

2. Lombard Street Read more…

San Francisco has something sexy going on all of the time. Some of these sexy events are events that come around again and again at the same time of year. These are San Francisco’s sexiest annual events that people just keep looking forward to again and again. Do you know which ones are happening in March? Here’s a look:

• Body Art Expo. A lot of people in San Francisco think that tattoos and piercings are sexy. And there are a lot of sexy tattooed and pierced people who attend the annual Body Art Expo that’s happening at the Cow Palace March 6th - 8th.
• San Francisco Fetish Ball. This event typically happens the first weekend in March. The site doesn’t appear to have been updated for 2009 so I’m not sure what the details are about this year’s event (or if it’s happening). More info to follow as soon as I hear something.
• GAYVN Awards. This is the annual gay porn awards event that includes a variety of different parties as well as the actual awards ceremony. It starts with a tailgate party on Friday, March 27th and the awards are the following night at the Castro Theatre.
• Whiskies of the World Expo. If gay porn isn’t your thing then maybe it’s whiskey that gets you wet? Those people who love their whisky can go get frisky at this year’s tenth annual Whiskies of the World Expo on March 28th.

February was a short month but there was still time to get a few interesting posts up here on this blog.

The one really timeless post that was here in February was my post on my 7 favorite phallic structures in San Francisco. Which do you think is the hottest building here? There was also some eye candy here when I posted the sexy mail that I got from ODC dance.

I also had posts about some of the sexy things that I got a chance to do here in the city:

• Silly Sexiness at Circus Finelli. Review of a great sexy fun circus show at Stagewerx Theatre.
• My Sexy San Francisco Valentine’s Day. Nude art show and burlesque performance review.

Everything else on the blog in February was fairly time-sensitive stuff like announcements about upcoming classes and events. One of the fun ones related to that was the post on this year’s sexiest Wondercon speakers.

And now I’m getting started with writing for March. I’m curious - what would you as a reader like to see more of on San Francisco is Sexy in the months to come?

Just a quick note to point out that my recent post on Asexuality in San Francisco was included as part of a blog carnival. It’s over at the Anything Goes and General News blog carnival in the “odd news” category. Other categories of articles in this blog include celebrity gossip, entertainment, business news, politics, finance and technology.
