ICYMI, queer Atlanta's crew of drag misfits are back for their annual fetish party, HOGTIED. You might remember last year as being packed full of nasty pigs, bondage queens, and a newly crowned Violet Chachki. This year, the show features Chicago couture queen and runnerup of RuPaul's Drag Race season 8, Kim Chi. In celebration of the event, we teamed up with Bulldog Custom Leathers to create two unique WUSSY harnesses.
Located inside of the Heretic, Atlanta's best leather shop recently got a cute facelift and has started carrying underwear brands like JUNK Underjeans and BearSkn. Aside from selling other items like cockrings, jocks, and fuck toys, Bulldog specializes in unique leather gear customized in-store for every body type.
"We believe in carrying something for everyone," said James Menge, co-owner of Bulldog. "Leather isn't just for the leather community anymore." Menge has been in business for about three years with his partner Jeff (Mr Atlanta Eagle 2012 and American Leatherman 2012).
The classic masculine harness (model: Matthew Livingston) is priced from $120 to $180, depending on the features you've chosen. The femme harness (model: Brigitte Bidet) is priced from $180 to $225. Both options can be preordered online or by texting James at 678-901-8721, but the femme harness will require an extra fitting consultation at the Heretic. (We recommend getting them fitted anyway; how can you walk into the club harness first if it's loosey-goosey?)
The custom leather jock is also available, priced from $100 to $120. If you want one of the WUSSY styles, be sure to message Bulldog as soon as fucking possible!
Hosted by Brigitte Bidet, HOGTIED 2 also features performances by #RPDR Season 8 cosplay queen Dax Exclamation Point, Evah Destruction, Abhor Ra, Arrianna Paris, Chelsea Daggers, Dynisty St. James, Ellisorous Rex, and Lavonia Elberton.
Two of gayTL's cutest DJs, Robert Ansley and King Atlas, will keep us sweating all night while resident photographer Aubrey Longley-Cook snaps portraits in the photo booth.
Tickets are available HERE, featuring a limited amount of VIP Meet + Greet tickets, which include one free specialty Smirnoff cocktail. For a limited time, use the code "WUSSYMAG" for $5 off.
