For the 24th annual Folsom Street Fair held on the 30th of September in 2007 the official poster artwork featured a photo of the well-known LGBT and BDSM community members. They were clothed in festive and fetish attire alongside Sister Roma who dressed as Mary Magdalene. This event was said to be an innovative version of the culturally iconographic of the famous “Last Supper” painting by Leonardo da Vinci. The photograph was complete with table draped with a Leather Pride flag, cluttered with sex toys, whips, and various BDSM restraints. The artwork by FredAlert was used on the official event guide as well as produced as collector’s posters that were posted throughout the city for advertising. Some conservative religious groups criticized this as anti-Christian and blasphemous event. Even though numerous parodies and homages of the Last Supper painting are readily available like Renée Cox’s controversial Yo Mama’s Last Supper.
