FOLSOM from 2012

 So I’m sitting down to write this column, exhausted, happy and sexually stimulated beyond belief! Yes folks, I’ve just returned from FOLSOM STREET FAIR 2012 in San Francisco, California.  For those of you who don’t know FOLSOM as it is known is a huge sexually charged fetish street fest, for gays, straights and everyone in between.  Folks walk around naked, or in leather, vinyl, rubber and all sorts of costumes, and celebrate their kinks and fetishes, getting to bring them out of the closet so to speak for a day of debaucheries and exhibitionism!  There are porn stars galore there all posing for your pleasure (myself included!), demonstrations of cool bondage knot techniques, lube showers, and jockstrap twister. Also included in the weekend of fun is a never ending stream of parties, orgies, meet and greets and dancing that would wear out even the most adventurous and athletic of the participants.  The key is, there is something there for EVERYONE, and we all had a blast!
Now, as I sit here with lube still slick on parts of my anatomy, I recall a few super fun moments of the weekend.  The highlights for me include my appearance at the Falcon and Raging Stallion Party Saturday night, where I had the chance to hug and take pictures with fans and friends for hours!  I spent about two hours appearing at Mr. S Leather, an enormous leather and fetish store and my favorite place to shop for brands like Nasty Pig and Timoteo and their own leather lines while in San Francisco.  The street fair was a blast as well, with everyone willing, stopping and posing for pictures throughout the day.
I also had the chance to announce the formation of my newest business partnership, www.cashmodels.com. Yes folks, I have now officially launched my own adult model management company, representing guys and gals in the porn industry for filming, appearances and the like, providing career guidance and using my experience and industry contacts to get my models work! Needless to say I had a great time telling models, studios and retailers looking for talent all about the venture and have some exciting projects lined up for my models because of it. 
Also, I have to say I was excited that I wasn’t filming while there this weekend, so I could take full advantage of the buffet of sexy men with uber-horny libidos and the insatiable desires to put parts of me inside them. I had two ways, three ways and a four way or two, some with other porn stars, some with buddies and new friends.  The key was to appreciate the sexual freedom we were allowed for the weekend, and enjoy it to the fullest. Don’t get me wrong, there were plenty of folks that didn’t kick it up to the level I did, but hey, I HAVE SEX ON FILM FOR A LIVING, and have a reputation to uphold (or at least that’s the excuse I’m using).  Critics might suggest that this behavior was a tad irresponsible or sexually risky, and yes, it was. We all make our own choices as to what level of risk (whether physical injury, STD exposure or reputation) we are willing to take and act accordingly. I did this myself and had a blast.

The point I’m trying to make is that the weekend was a great chance for those who are usually looked at as weird or deviant because of a sexual fetish or kink to lay it all out there and feel included, no judgment, no insults, just a celebration of our desires and interests.  So, for those of you who haven’t been, and can keep an open mind, I suggest checking out the FOLSOM STREET FAIR next year, letting it all hang out (literally or figuratively) and enjoying the crazy fun that can be had!

NEW THINGS COMING!

So I've been asked a bunch lately, "With all you've got going on, how do you have time for it all?"  The answer is, "I don't!"

Right now my focus is on diversifying my "Charlie Harding" brand into new and exciting business opportunities and seeing what all I can become a part of!

www.CharlieHardingPresents.com
I have launched an amazing new venture with Wilde City Press to bring you "Charlie Harding Presents..." a line a gay erotica ebooks and stories.  The hottest one's I can find, that turn me on, and will get you excited too.  So check 'em out, read them all and keep coming back for the new ones we upload almost every week!

Scotty Rage (@scottyragexxx) and I are launching a special art project line of t-shirts!
RAGE T's are vintage shirts that we find, then paint, bleach, dye, cut and shred to create cool one-of-a-kind things for you to wear!  We're going to sell them through my online store until they are gone, so if you like one, grab it quick as there's only one of each!

I've also recorded a vocal single with Dylan Michael here in Atlanta called "It's My Party!" I'm planning to record another single in the next few weeks as well, so get this one now, and get ready for the next one "Sex On The Dance Floor."

I'm doing interviews galore, a bunch of artistic and advertising photo shoots and have a few other projects in the works that may come to fruition, so keep following and let's see what comes of those!

I'm always looking for new opportunities; I'm reading for a part on an upcoming gay television series, hosting a bunch of club nights here in Atlanta and am always up for chatting about things you might want to have me affiliated with!  Need a product spokesperson? 

I'd love to get into additional mainstream television and movies, record more music and such, so if you have connections to those industries and are interested in chatting, please do!

Further, I have gone into the "behind the scenes" of the mainstream entertainment industry as well.  I'm now the business manager for a celebrity make up artist and a celebrity stylist.  Managing their careers takes tons of time!

With all this being said, I'm taking some time off from filming adult films! I'm not saying I'm gone forever, but right now I'm gonna focus on getting the rest of my business opportunities up and running.  Thanks for everyone's support in all that I do, buy my books, tshirts and music and of course continue to watch my scenes!
