Our Erotic Book Club in Time Out

Oooooh! Our Erotic Book Club is featured in a little write up in this week's Time Out Magazine!

As they so eloquently put it:

"Think that book clubs are all about Healthcliffe, Darcy and Mr Rochester? Here's a naughtly little soirée to prove you otherwise. At this alternative book club, there's a new saucy fiction each month (this month it's 'Emmanuelle', so get flicking quickly) to get your teeth into alongside a young, hip east London audience (and not a crusty old lech in sight!). What's more, it's free and you're encouraged to bring a bottle too."

Check out the review here and come along to our next book club, held on the last Thursday of the month at the fantastic Bokship at Donlon Books

Picture Of The Week

Meeow! He makes the loveliest shoes on the planet, and my god these are no exception. Simply screaming with fetishistic detailing.

WE LOVE:Painted Peep Show Plates

When we first saw these delicious plates from Painted Peepshow our breath was quite taken away. A truly decadent dining set if ever there was one. The limited edition designs on fine bone china are just filthy enough to turn any eye at even the most open minded of dinner parties, but cheeky enough that even your mum would chuckle when being served her chocolate cake on them!

Some of the designs are a little more disguised amongst damask style patterns, leaping out at you when you finally 'get' what's going on on your plate, others are bold brash and in your face from the start.

Currently available at the recently opened Sh! in Portobello, these lovelies are doubtlessly going to sell like hotcakes, so grab them while you can.

Selfridges Shoe Galleries

Ever since Selfridges announced they were re-opening their Shoe Galleries, we had been chomping at the bit waiting to get a peek. The numbers alone were impressive: "With 55000 shoes in stock at any one time and 4000 shoes on display from over 150 brands", This was indeed a cathedral to consumption.

Alas, to be honest dear readers, we were hoping for a little more. The place is lovely, rich coloured seats, dark lighting and literally piles and piles of shiny spiky stilettos jumping out at you. I guess it's just the way things are now, but there really wasn't much new, about the "New Shoe Galleries". Once you've seen the seasonal collection of heels from Office in their high street store, nice as they may be, there really isn't much to yelp about seeing them again in a pretty new setting. That seemed to pretty much be the problem, there were hundreds of shoes, from lots of well known brands, but all of which we'd seen before. For such a monument to foot fetishists, there really wasn't much that grabbed your attention. The leap from high street shoes, up to extortionate designer artworks was left with a chasm of lacking choice for anything in the middle. It was either spend £75 on the latest heels from your regular high street brand or £1700 on something garish from Gucci.

Of course there is always the exception that proves the rule. Monsieur Louboutin's boutique at the back of the galleries, was as always exceptional. Filled to the brim with the aphrodisiac heels and lustful gasps from the shoppers. The young man in the bow tie helping ladies put their shoes on, was living every foot fetishists dream doing his day job. Christian if you ever need someone to help out around the shop, Robin is always available.

One final thing to note, were these rather obscure and fantastic creations from Chau Har Lee seemingly exclusive to Selfridges on a made to order basis they quite took our breath away. Alas they also come with a price tag that we can't quite muster just yet. If the galleries had had a few more exciting finds like these dotted around and a few less generic brands (Chanel and River Island we're looking at you) cluttering up the fantasy it would have been quite perfect.

Gutterslut Ball 09/10/10

Putting on the trashiest, most exciting, most adventurous, best and worst dressed parties in London, the Gutter Slut crew did it again with their recent Gutter Ball. As they put it themselves "THE three Fs are what East London's Gutterslut live by - filth, fun and fashion. A tranny loving, punky-chic gathering of the brash, the bold and the beautiful"

More stiletto wearing, fucked wig, fantastic tranny madness than you can shake a stick at, the Rhythm Factory was brought alive to the sound of hundreds of sweaty, screeching, cheering East London drag ravers. Per QX as usual ripped up the main floor with electro goodness, whilst the back room was jumping with more proper disco. Jonny Woo held court on the stage, calling the assembled trannys up for a show and calling on the crowd to cheer them along.

All in all, this was once again a fantastic night out, an incredibly celebratory, participatory night. Ego's were left at the door and everyone lived out their fantasy as THE dancing queen.

Keep your eyes peeled for the next one.
