"The place where optimism flourishes most is the lunatic asylum." Havelock Ellis... and San Francsico???
aloha again,
Soul Mate is reading Bruce Anderson's THE MENDOCINO PAPERS Vol.1 (nee Anderson Valley Advertiser paper). he drove a taxi in San Francisco in the 60s, i drove from 1975 to 1980 until i was totally burnt out.
NEKKID IN SF
how could i forget the EXOTIC EROTIC BALL which was gaining steam and import the years i drove cab.but first...
AIRPORT TAXI LOT
Anderson mentioned the smart guys and smart asses who congregated in the outdoor airport Taxi Lot in the old days. the roach coach was run by a stolid Chinese guy,forgot his name, and the food was cheap and plentiful.cab drivers are always loners,crazies,horndogs,freaks & geeks and even rrely a few scholars.
when i didn't wash out after the first month,like 90% of applicants,i sewed special pockets inside my driving jacket made from an old pair of jeans.on my left i had a 13 shot Browing Hi Power automatic and on my right was a double pocket,one for my leather truckers wallet and another for the 2 shot 22LR derringer i carried.on the seat against my thigh was a 5 D cell heavy steel flashlight called a Kel Lite,since declared illegal since this mace shaped goodie didn't just break bones it pulverized them.i had occasion to use everything in my arsenal at one time or another over those five years...never lethally that i know of.
back to nudity,
my company didn't allow women to drive nights for fear of rape or injury but others did. i met a short blonde female driver outside the Greyhound Station,usually a bad news taxi stand,who'd had a ride to Bolinas after midnight one night where she was robbed,stripped naked and lost her cab...leaving her to stumble naked from house to house in the bone chilling fog until somebody finally opened a door to her.the ride originated at Greyhound yet two days later she was back again,go figure.
there was a "Ms.Washington" a black transsexual who worked in my company whose purpose was to exercise her new vagina on/with as many people as possible.i was one of the few who declined.i mentioned her name one day at the taxi lot as two lanky lesbians were sunbathing atop their cabs in just rolled down panties,a practice the cops eventually put a stop to, later their cabal had routine sex shows in the back of their vehicles.not all women drivers are/were sluts but some ex whores would drift thru when they had too many tickets or whatever.plus more than once new whores would arrive at the airport dressed normal then strip naked in the back seat to change after asking me "where do the hos hang out and where do they stay". no problemo.
XOB
my first notice of the Exotic Erotic Ball, which moved around often in the early years,was the year they were at the Hilton. i had stopped there, a usually lukewarm taxi stand, to fill out my waybill when a beautiful blue woman in a sequined blue cape and tiara climbed in the front seat and wanted to be taken way across town to the Zoo.then she passed out and her flimsy cape fell open, aside from some blue body paint and some glitter on her nipples and pubes she was naked.i enjoyed the view with part of my brain but the other part asked WHERE'S THE MONEY? the c thru cape had no obvous pockets or seams and other than the tiara and high heels i could only guess where any money might be hiding. so i took her home and gingerly woke her up then...she peeled off a $20 bill taped to one instep and got out to greet her husband and child waiting at the door.WHEW!
another year the XOB was at Civic Auditorium, where i would work years later,two guys dressed as babies flagged me down-booties,diapers,bonnets & huge pacifiers.they wanted to go to LIL BIT MORE a noisy dyke bar near SF General & the Hostess Twinkie factory, that's when i realized these two 'guys' were indeed two very flat chested and drunk gay women.Wowsa.
later when i cruised by the XOB affairs i saw many people wearing little or nothing and a Clothes Check inside encouraged this. one time,when i was finshed driving cab, i took MY EX (*) who wore only a thin black cape,gloves and boots along with her many piercings and tattoos.she was Very Popular among the photog set.
another time me and Soul Mate went in hospital gowns with our bare butts hanging out, i got goosed by many flannel wearing lesbians,i sewed red flannel lungs and veins on hers and a rubber heart and fake urine bag on mine along with a fake cleaver labelled MEDICAL CUTS,this was true back in the 90s-still is.
there are probably other times but i don't recall them at the moment.
in other news,
i did indeed add More Links today,check it out.

I remember a women on the bus one time saying to me, "The trouble with public transportation is that you have to deal with the public." Sounds like you've had your share.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the XOB is concerned, I never went--but think I would have enjoyed myself. I can just picture your ex in all her "finery." She is, after all, the one who turned me on to your always educational blogs.
Thanks for sharing.
