The fifth-annual Condom Fashion Show opened with “I Won’t Say I’m In Love” from the Disney movie Hercules and was followed by skits about the perfect date, the right way to put on a condom, old Public Service Announcements and the condom fashion show. The Cultural Forum puts on this annual event to raise awareness about safe and consensual sex, the AIDS epidemic and to just openly talk about sex. Here are a few frames from the evening.
