Northbound Leather's "Lust"
	There's plenty of dress-up going on in this episode, brought to you from "Lust" - Northbound Leather's annual fetish bash/fashion show. We meet up with Northbound's George Giaouris at his store, and then check out one of the biggest orgies of leather, rubber, PVC, fetish wear, drag, lingerie uniforms and goth around. (You can also surf over to Virtually Canadian's archived webcast of the event - RealPlayer G2 required).
"Village Voice"
	Of course Church Street on the weekend is always a show, and some of its players stopped by "The Steps" to speak their peace in front of our cameras.
"Looking for Boysland"
	With the recent theater release of "Boys Don't Cry," we look back at a season two piece on the 1996 Toronto Fringe Theater Festival play "Looking for Boysland." Both depict the story of Teena Brandon, who moves to Falls City, Nebraska to live and make friends (even girlfriends) as a man. When his secret is discovered, Brandon's newfound friends become enemies, eventually raping, beating - and a week later, murdering him. (If you're looking for a good rental, also check out "The Brandon Teena Story" at your local video store.)
Homo History
	OK, this segment's more about what people were not wearing. Specifically, 300 men arrested in four bathhouse raids by about 200 heavily armed Toronto police in 1981. Considered by many to be "Canada's Stonewall," the raids and ensuing protests galvanized the queer community in Toronto and led it to much greater activism.
"Dragging it Outta' You"
	Chris dons the burns as the intrepid, debonair "Christopher" to ask some straight folks "What's your ultimate dress-up fantasy?"
