B.C. Cliver Wins Daddy Dyke Title 

If you missed the First Annual Daddy Dyke Contest last Saturday night, Nov. 23, at the Eagle, you missed one of the funniest and best efforts for a first-time-out event. Ms. SF Leather J.C. Collins and Jenny Blake proved masters at the art of emceeing as they quipped and ad-libbed their way through the event that produced six contestants and went along at a rapid pace even with three intermissions, warbling sensation Terry Foster, the incomparable dance-strip routine by the delightful Rainbeau and Shan Carr giving the audience a “wet” spot (by special request) as well as some very funny dialogue. Joe Shore, who signed the entire show, admitted he had a somewhat difficult time translating the “wet spot” during Shan’s routine ! 

The judges were picked by drawing lottery tickets and included one man, Brian (a musician/student studying sociological anthropology!); Ms. South Bay Leather Beth Key; “Tas” Davis (formerly Corky Davis); redheaded Ellen; and Lisa, a daddy’s girl from the South Bay. Lots of South Bay women were there. 

The contestants: Sharon Cornielson, Sita, B.C. Cliver, Donna Shrout, Jackie Hanson and Blair were obliged to perform “scenarios” — not fantasies — and the emcees as well as audience were often confused by the gender aspect. We all know that gay men often refer to each other as “she” or “her” — no different from the women who often refer to each other as “he” and “him.” Hence, when the “scenario” explanations were read, “he” meant girl and “him” meant the same, or was it the reverse? Somehow, “boy” kept popping up! 

When all was said and done, the judges picked Sita second runner-up, Blair first runner-up and B.C. Cliver SF Daddy Dyke I. In the process, almost $1,000 was raised for the HIV Women’s Support Group and the Women’s Cancer Resource Center. A lot of people were thanked for their help, donations and support. 

Sponsored by the Outcasts, Rena Davis, current co-chair of the SFBA National Leather Association, was the catalyst for the event. She kissed so many women during the evening that her lipstick was gone by 2200. Great fun, great show, and if you missed it, shame, shame on you!
