Clies PressYes Sir & Yes Ma'am

The lovely people at Cleis Press recently sent us a couple of copies of their deliciously naughty books to review for our blog. Excitedly one morning Fanny opened a package containing Yes Sir and Yes Ma'm for our consumption. Being avid naughty book readers, and even running London's only Erotic Book Club, we couldn't wait to get stuck into their saucy pages. With fantasies of both male and female submission at the firm hands of latex and leather clad members of the opposite sex, it seemed right up our street. Now it's just going to be a case of fighting over which ideas we get to play out first...

---

What a wonderful homework assignment we had here. With fantasies of both crawling up to Fanny's leather boots, and also making her shine mine, this was going to be interesting. Both books present a series of stories from both male and female writers ranging from scenes where female submissives masturbate according to email instructions from their masters, through to tales of an OCD tea making man discussing with his Mistress their impending threesome and the delights that await. The stories were short enough to keep your attention and very well written, rising far above generic 'porn' writing. My personal favourites included the above mentioned "Tea For Three" , "Wedding Night" and "Rope Burn" from Yes Ma'm, plus "Lunch" from Yes Sir amongst many others. My favourite part of reading these was on the train to Paris with Fanny, reading them together and teasing each other over which parts we liked whilst people dozed around us. These books definitely start in your head and work their way down, with scenes still replaying in my head when I close my eyes. Oh my Fanny, this could be a rather naughty month ahead of us whilst we work out who's on top. 5 firm full handed slaps on the bottom out of 5.

Kinky Salon London: Science Friction

The second party for London's newest and most exciting performance and play party, Kinky Salon London, was held last night with the theme of Science Friction. The UK extension of a party that has been running in San Francisco for nine years, Kinky Salon promotes itself as a sex-positive environment for people of all genders and sexual identities, and this not-for-profit event was held in a secret decorated East London warehouse. Run by a community of volunteers, entry prices range from £10 for contributors to £30 for high earners / last minute tickets, with the majority of tickets on sale for £20.

I was quite excited about attending this party as the shorthand description generally used to describe it is Shortbus, which is exactly the kind of creative, queer community building environment I had been looking for in London, having found such spaces (albeit nearly a decade ago) in Sydney's (once thriving?) alterna-queer scene.

Upon arriving, I was instantly warmed by both the feeling of overt friendless and organisation, and pleased with the obvious level of effort and humour which had gone into everyone's costumes. As a woman who has bounced around in such play scenes, clubs and parties over many years, I was also impressed and reassured by the code of conduct and PAL system simply because the lack of such things in other spaces are usually my biggest gripes when the fact that I am a big sExhibitionist leads some less discerning men (and occasionally women) to think is an open invitation to touch and harass me. Thus, once inside, I instantly felt at ease / at home.

We'd been less excited about the location of the secret venue when it was revealed but this was simply because we go to a lot of events here and were hoping for something new. It also isn't the safest space to access, its only entrance down a dark East London back street near many council estates, which is even more of an issue when attendees are encouraged to arrive in costume as there is little-to-no changing space. Not surprisingly, we were hassled by a bunch of ASBO youth who seemed to be deliberately loitering nearby, who took a little too much interest in not only Robin's wig and heels but the fact that we were obviously a couple. But, to be fair, we cop this a lot when we go out, so it is definitely nothing to be held against the venue or KSL organisers.

Knowing the venue as we do, I could definitely appreciate how much effort had gone into transforming the space, marking different areas for certain activities, and dressing it for the occasion. Despite my initial reservation, I was quickly convinced that the team had made this into a unique night and it was destined to be a lot of fun. I have no doubt that KSL is run by a savvy and ambitious bunch who know how to pick and shape space and probably have their sites set on growing the event to a bigger venue in good time.

I also liked the fact that entry was strictly between 9 and 10pm, as I am always a sucker for rocking up late in order to catch a party in full swing. You knew by the limited opening time that the party would start as soon as you arrived and the space quickly filled with creatively attired revellers. HOT creatively attired revellers, mind you! There was, in mind, definitely a bevy of well-styled, cute partygoers of all shapes and sizes to make this event worth ones while!

Once the door bitch was off duty and everyone had a few drinks in them, the cabaret finally started. We were instantly enraptured by the lovely Suzanne Portnoy's erotic reading and couldn't help feeling each other up during her warmly sardonic description of fantasy fulfilment gone not quite right. Diva Burlesque and Tricity Vogue were equally a treat and Vix left a good smell of fried synthetic hair in the air. And as the evenings compere, Luke Meredith came pretty close to the standard set by Justin Bond in my high expectations.

Perhaps a little too quickly the entertainment was over but thankfully there was some great party tunes to shake your ass too. While some of the party moved on to the play space at the this point, it was quite nice to see people still bouncing around having fun and socialising. As an East London regular, I probably shouldn't have been quite so surprised by how many people I knew at the party, and it was really lovely when it came to hanging out, having fun and feeling part of a community. But as someone who loves a little anonymity when she *really* enjoys herself in public, it did become a bit of an issue for me when I moved into play space... But then, maybe this lady should just fuck off to San Francisco is she doesn't want to bump into anyone she knows when she is having a grind.

As someone with experience of open horizons, I wasn't used to coming into such a space in a monogamous relationship, so it was a new experience for me. It would have been fun to have somewhere to relax with a drink while watching the beautiful bodies mingle together but to be fair the space limited any couple trying to do so to look like they were queueing for a spot in the throng, so it was very much a get involved or go downstairs environment. But everyone was having so much fun, you couldn't help but want to be part of it.

All in all, I had a very fun evening and have a lot of respect for the aims and efforts of the KSL team. As Robin said to me as we stumbled home, I think we might be very close to finding out perfect party. Hurrah!

I must admit, as much as a perv as I am, I was a little apprehensive at first about going along to Kinky Salon. Not because of any prudishness, but I think I was a little concerned that an English version of Shortbus would rather more resemble a swingers party full of my parents friends rather than anything I would fancy diving into, things always look a bit more glamorous in the movies. As it was it seems 99% of my fears were completely unjustified. Fanny and I for some time have been looking for a club where we really feel we fit in. Torture Garden can often far more resemble a catwalk show than somewhere you feel you can let go, others are incredibly heteronormative, or we're comfortable but surrounded by gay friends with no one to share experiences with. Technically Fanny and I are a heterosexual monogamous couple, but with a cross dressing anarchist tank driver and a strap-on weilding swaggering showgirl, we don't really fit societies roles too well. One of the things I really liked about KSL was the fact that everyone felt welcome and included, there was a great mix of straight and queer kids of all persuasions and perversions, and you really felt safe being yourself amongst it all.

I must admit, at first I thought their whole sets of rules, PAL systems etc was a bit of an over kill, however on reflection, I guess this made a whole load of discussion and boundary setting unnecessary on the night. The only discussion needed was to discuss our boundaries as a couple, which was an interesting and positive relationship building experience.

The night was well structured and, as a party promoter myself, one of the things I really liked was their strict door entrance window from 9-10pm. It meant that as soon as you turned up, you knew that the party would be going, rather than having to wait for the post pub/club crowds to turn up. The only problem was that, as people left there was no-one coming along to replace them, and of course it meant I had to get my fucking false eyelashes to stay in place several hours quicker than normal. The evening started with music, then cabaret and then the dance floor got going (Fanny's flooding of their playlist with booty tracks certainly helped with this part). Once the show was over then the upstairs play area opened up, and the party really started. Peeking in, the mass of hot bodies writhing on the giant bed was a beautiful sight to behold. Alas dear readers rule number 6 "what happens at KS stays at KS" prevents me from telling you about all of the wonderful experiences I had and sights that I saw (you'll just have to attend yourself one day). Slipping in and out of the play area, made me realise however that perhaps the cabaret, or at least DJ's could have had more focus post "game on" announcement. It did feel a bit like the whole focus of the party suddenly shifted, with the door people, DJ's and everyone else running off to have fun rather than keeping the dance floor rocking too. If you need a playtime DJ, then Fistly (our collective DJ name) is available for booking ;-)

As for the clientel, Oh My God, I was not disappointed. More creativity and desire than you can shake a stick at. The crowd is mostly very young for fetish circles (20's & 30's) and very mixed. There were some amazingly funny and saucy outfits, hello Darth Vader and Princess Leia, plus some obscenely hot ones, latex leggings furry tail butt plug girl you stole our heart. Everyone had made an effort, and it made the whole party feel that much more special.

We'll definitely be back at Kinky Salon, it struck a great balance between an East London arty dress up night, a fetish club and finally as swingers night where couples were welcome. Just crank up the volume a bit more and try not to play the Glee theme tune when I'm mood setting in my mind and battling with the brewers next time, eek!

CHECK OUT: Club Rub's Box Of Delights

The Lovely Kim from Club Rub recently sent us a link to this lovely new movie they've shot. Giving a behind the scenes look at all of the fantastic photoshoots they do for their flyers.

WE LOVE:Lady Gaga & Beyonce - Telephone

Wow! Gobsmacked doesn't even begin to describe this one. Since Lady Gaga exploded onto the music scene with her ever more elaborate costumes, 'art' performances, genital rumors and crack pot videos the work has been a much brighter and slightly less well hinged place. However I don't think any of us were quite prepared for the 10 minute mini-movie insanity that is her latest output.

Teaming up with 'Single Lady' Beyonce (creator of the hottest dance routine ever), this video has it all. Lesbian prison scenes (god if only prisons like that actually existed), smoking cigarette glasses (yes literally), coke can hair rollers, strip searches and nipple tassles, murder, more murder, a cameo from the Kill Bill Pussy Wagon, the most outrageous product placement EVER, and finally Beyonce with a hot new fringe and squeezed into a tight shiny Atsuko Kudo yellow latex dress!

Lady Gaga, your music might sound like something from a Ukranian Euro-vision Song Contest Entry, you may be a nuts as a mad dog and as out of control as a bag of cats, but you're SMOKING HOT and we LOVE YOU!

Club RubHeaven & Hell Party - Jan 2010

Club Rub provocatively sauntered into 2010 with a brand new venue in Vauxhall and a launch party entitled Latex Heaven & Leather Hell. After having had lots of fun at their previous East London haunt, we were looking forward to testing out the new club with great anticipation, even if it did mean we could no longer walk (stagger) home. The lovely Kim (Queen of Clubs) had kindly given our blog a boost in her email after we mentioned their new night in one of our don't miss posts. So after a quick shopping trip for new latex goodies in Honour, Fanny squeezed into a latex nun's habit and Robin a lovely pair of shiny hot pants before jumping into a cab and going to sample their delights.
Finally an excuse to steal Robin's nun's habit for an evening! I was very excited by the theme and really pleased at the effort many people had put into their outfits. The new venue gave Club Rub a lot more energy, the crowd was really positive and friendly and having Jason Atomic sketching portraits on the hallway walls was such a treat. By the end of the evening, I was really missing having the dark corners that the old venue used to have - bright lights and no music in the seating area didn't give you much privacy - and even the play area felt like it was more of an after thought than an attraction, but this could have been because the space was so packed! The turn out was really mixed and rather fabulous and it was nice to be in the Vauxhall ghetto - right where a club like this should be! Can't wait to see what the future parties will be like here once the Rub settles in. Undoubtedly 4 out of 5 Hail Mary's from Sister Fanny.		Wow, the new Lightbox venue certainly lives up to it's name with a cavernous main dance room covered in LED's, lasers shining and glowing like a 90's rave on acid. After slipping through the cloak room and heaving crowds into the club it took us both a little while to find it, through the chill out room and a performance/play/photography space, both of which could have perhaps benefitted with a little background music to set the scene. The crowd was super friendly and Fanny and I both benefited from an incredibly eager man who was polishing up everyone's rubber with gusto, oh my! Through in the dancefloor the beats were flowing with two podiums and a mixture of straight & gay couples, naked fiercely pumping men (jesus how much viagra did you take) and disco kids shaking their thang. We danced our socks off to the electro for ages and then rushed back when the electro stopped and Run DMC popped up their heads for a moment. On the whole the club was a wonderful night, friendly, welcoming and incredibly shiny. I'd give it 4 gloops of lovely latex shine out of 5.

DON'T MISS:Club Rub This Saturday

This Saturday 23rd Jan is the first Club Rub of 2010 with a Heaven & Hell themed event at a brand new venue in Vauxhall. As a club we can wholeheartedly recommend it, after having been along to several of their nights before. The last of which saw us both spending all our money and having to stagger home in 6 inch heels, flashing gold hotpants at taxi drivers as the sun was beginning to rise seemed like a great idea at the time. That however is another story...

Don't have anyone to go along with? Why not try out their new fetish speed dating service where they will try to match you up with an equally debauched and open minded partner in crime.

Now we just have to fight over who gets to wear which of the lovely shiny things we own.

Torture GardenLondon Fetish Ball 2009

Last night was the headline event of 2009's London Fetish Weekend, The London Fetish Ball hosted by Torture Garden at Mass in Brixton. Across 4 rooms over 2 floors, there was a variety of dj's and performances, play areas and dance floors, with a very dressed up crowd, as enforced by TG organisers. Running from 10pm till 6am, tickets ranged from £23 to £30 and was attended by about 1,000 fetishists and pleasure-seekers from around the globe.
Summer has been a bit quiet at the TG parties, so it was delightful to be at a packed-out party once more! Last night was a pleasure to attend, with Scottee dj's set of trashy hits setting my well-heeled feet on fire and Esme's delightful 'Meat' performance putting a flutter in my heart. The venue was, as usual, a suitable setting for a party of such size and style, and was thankfully without any of the hitches that apparently spoilt May's Birthday Ball earlier this year, (such as ridiculous drink queues - not that we attended because of the SEone venues distasteful insistence on scanning all attendees ID details into a database). Once again, Allen & the TG team did a marvellous job at hosting one of the world's top fetish parties and ensured we staggered home at dawn, rubbing each others sore toes and giggling about the evenings adventures. Last night gets four lipstick kisses out of five from this very hungover latex lover.		I'd been looking for an excuse to slip into my new shiny nun's habit for a while, so the TG Fetish Ball seemed the perfect opportunity. With Everything from Australian Disco Sailors on the dancefloor to Rubber dominatrixes kicking guys in the balls in the dungeon, this really was a party not to be missed. The music was incredibly danceable and the venue perfect. My one gripe is the 'Fashion Shows' that are often put on as performances, in comparison to some of the actual performers they pale in comparison. The drinks are a little pricey (£6 Spirit & Mixer) but considering the atmosphere and the fact most people are struggling to balance in ridiculous heels, perhaps a hindrance to drinking too much is a great idea. For a club where many people spend far too much time and money perfecting their look before they dare enter, TG remains one of the friendliest and welcoming London club's I've been to. Robin gives this Four very hard spanks on the bottom (sorry about those Fanny).
