Hosted by Blackout Leather Productions. regon Leather Pride Week is coming soon, and 1 know you want to look hot and sexy. So where can you shop in Portland for leather and fetish wear? Here’s a shoppers guide: For leather products such as chaps, stop off at Langlitz Leather, 2443 S.E. Division St. It’s been around forever and can fit you into chaps, boots, vests or anything else made from animal hide. For those who are more into bikers than traditional leather, check out any of the awe some Harley-Davidson dealers in Portland area. These retailers have everything from chaps to real motorcycle gear for men and women (and even kids). Go to Latus Motors Harley- Davidson, 11011 N. Vancouver Way; Paradise Harley-Davidson, 10770 S.W. Cascade Ave. in Tigard; or Columbia Motorcycle/Harley- Davidson, 1314 N.E. 102nd Ave. in Vancouver, Wash. For leather and lace apparel, no one beats Victoria’s Secret. Great bras. Great panties. Great thongs. Cheap, accessible—just go to any area mall and get your lace on. Another good place to visit at the local mall is Hot Topic. They have a zillion choices for Goth wear, rocker wear and accessories from black nail polish to glow-in-the-dark fishnet stockings. For toys, high heels, corsets and other assorted nasty-things, stop at Cathie’s Lingerie and Novelties, 8201 S.E. Powell Blvd. The staff is friendly and willing to talk to you about everything from French maid costumes to butt plugs. For leather, fetish wear and everything from swings to strap-ons, visit Spartacus, 300 S.W. 12th Ave. Finally, for those Portlanders out there who love a bargain, I’m told by Marlene Kendrick of Portland Leather Alliance that nothing beats going to a thrift store or Goodwill and picking up a “pervertable dress." All you do is find a lace or see-through dress with a sturdy and altogether hideous lining. Cut out the lining and—voila!—you have perverted this plain and simple frock into a sexy, tawdry thing of beauty. Gotta love it! -JR © 620 kpoj The Randi Rhodes Show - weekdays 3PM - 7PM .
