Just
a quick note to let you all know that the folks at Leather Etc. are
quite pleased by the results of giving INIQUITY a 10% discount on
ALL purchases. They have told me personally that they seriously appreciate
your business, and that many of you have been using our Sacred Password
(every time I write that I feel like it's something out of a Rocky
and Bullwinkle cartoon, like Fearless Leader....). It's a great shop
and if you haven't already you really should check it out. Leather
Etc is located on the corner of 8th and Folsom in San Francisco.
In addition, Vampire Technology is also offering
a 10% discount on purchases. Check out their site on the Chain
Links page
Finally, I have something REALLY COOL & BIZARRE
to tell you about: an INIQUITY discount on Massages! Yes indeed, the
very generous Caeli from our community is offering a TWENTY PERCENT
(20%) Discount on her professional massages. This is a genuine, relaxing,
deep tissue massage! Her normal rates are $50 an hour, so if you use
the INIQUITY Password when you contact her, the price drops to $40
per hour. Hey folks, that's a genuine bargain in our high-stress world.
For more information, e-mail: caeli39@hotmail.com
evening.
And don't forget to mention INIQUITY. ;-)

A "GISC-free"
Fetish Play-Party in Vancouver
Regular
readers know that GISC stands for "guys in street clothes",
the type admitted at "Mass Charade" and other parties run
by those more concerned about revenue than dress code enforcement.
I had an opportunity to combine business and pleasure during a recent
trip to Vancouver, B.C. Any fetish devotees planning a trip there
are encouraged to visit http://www.infomatch.com/~ptupper/vanbdsm.htm
ItŐs a well-organized site, put together by a
Vancouver "scene member" who knows what heŐs talking about.
Beyond the typical Calendar and Links pages, there are comprehensive
Groups and Stores pages that supply valuable advice to help the visitor
select clubs, parties and shops "of interest". What caught
my eye was the listing for the Body Perv Social Club: "A fetish
organization which holds parties on the last Saturday of each month.
Some kind of fetish or formal dress is mandatory for admission (or
you can just go nude.)"
As my companion and I were there for the last
Saturday in June, I phoned the listed number and was provided with
the partyŐs address. We were pleasantly surprised. Descending the
steps into the basement party site, would-be attendees were screened
for proper (i.e., fetish) attire. No fetishwear = no admittance; quite
simple. Once inside, we were greeted by the sight of 250 or so fetish-clad
revelers, partying and playing full-out.
For the fetish "fashion conscious",
black shiny PVC outfits were most frequently seen, along with head-to-toe
leather, glistening latex, slutty lingerie and a few other ensembles
that defy description. My companion proved to be a trendsetter in
her new metallic copper-colored PVC outfit from Stormy Leather. 20-
and 30-somethingŐs dominated (*LOL*) the crowd which appeared to be
a 50:50 mix of gays and straights, probably 60% female. An industrial-strength
sound system engulfed the room in ear-ringing, conversation-precluding
music which some found excessive, but it was clear that most of the
crowd really enjoyed themselves. Scenes took place on the dance floor
for hard-core exhibitionists, and in dimly-lit dining booths that
surrounded the perimeter of the room for the more discrete. A full
bar did good business.
In all, it was a welcome and unexpected addition
to our Canadian trip; a well-organized, well-run, fetishware only
party. The website is "must reading" for anyone with fetish
and/or S&M interests visiting Vancouver.
__________________
I
had received so many so-so tales of the Dressed To Thrill Ball last
May, that I decided it was only fair to print this account of a much
more positive experience just to show that sometimes it depends on
what -- or maybe who -- you bring with you. ;-)
(thanks to the magnificent
Sabrina Belladonna for this tale)
From the sounds of it, Mistress Shaydee and I had the best time
of anyone who attended this year's Dressed to Thrill Ball! That
thanks to coming equipped with great slaves! We left LA at the crack
of noon by car driven by my now infamous slave dave, who kept the
conversation going with Ms. Shaydee while I slept off the send off
party I threw. (We did some depraved things and left the photographic
proof to tell the tale- but that's another story!)
We arrived at the Tropicana around 4.30pm,
where we instructed slave dave to deal with our baggage while we
checked in. I was appalled to see an incredibly long line at check-in,
and everyone knows that Mistresses don't like to be kept waiting!
Lucky me for having excellent taste in slaves! Slave paul had already
checked in, and upon phoning the room, I learned he'd already chilled
a bottle of my favorite Champagne, so we went in search of the room.
We sipped Champagne and cleaned up in anticipation of the meal at
Napa, a celebrated new restaurant at the Rio, a reservation Paul
had to pull some strings to get! In response to less than gourmet
fare usually presented at these banquets (why is this???), we chose
to dine out Friday and Saturday nights. By the way, anyone who enjoys
fine food as well as gourmet s/m & b/d will do well to check
out Napa when in Las Vegas!
Mistress Shaydee and I had pooled our vast
knowledge and lusty tastes to plan the activities for Friday, and
paul was lucky to be along for the ride-and what a wild one it was!
Our next stop was The Cheetah, the strip club made famous in the
movie "Showgirls" (a favorite of ours). It has been said
to have some very naughty girls working there, and it's all true!
Paul's and my eyes fairly popped out of our heads as we watched
Mistress Shaydee get MAULED by one of them, she seemed to get an
eyeful, too- literally!
Off we were to a couple of TV clubs The Gypsy,
and Angles, we did the rounds, looked at the sights, and headed
back to the Tropicana to shop the last minutes of the vendors' booths.
In case I neglected to mention, we were dressed to kill. After shopping
and being a little more than overstimulated by all we'd seen and
done (and touched), everyone headed down to the pools to soak in
the Jacuzzi- aaaaaaaah Vegas!
The next day we were up and out the door to
visit the P.E.S. Studio- they had a booth at the Trop, but we wanted
more, more, more- we were truly getting caught up in the spirit
of excess that is Las Vegas. Back to our hotel where I'd scheduled
a bondage session, and so paul could move his things to a separate
hotel room (the Mistresses needed the room!).
After some hours of hair and make-up, we wriggled,
laced, zipped and buckled ourselves into the finest of our fetish
wear, shined up and we were off to exhibit our beauty to the common
Las Vegan. Mistress Shaydee and myself, no strangers to strange
looks and the spotlight, and slave paul thoroughly enjoyed the sound
of jaws hitting the floor accompanied by "Oh my Gawd!"
as the strangers gaped at our sensuous curves wrapped in leather
(Shaydee) and rubber (Sabrina). For some strange reason, though,
the maitre'd seated us at a table far from the rest of his customers-
this was at an Indian place called Shalimar, very good food, but
we really had to exaggerate out gestures to be appreciated at such
a great distance!
At last we were back at the Tropicana, the
grand ballroom was filling up with the beautiful people, many from
Los Angeles, and other familiar faces from greater distances. I
love seeing the people I've met at other fetish events, it makes
our world smaller, and more welcoming when you're far away. Since
most seats were already spoken for, we carved our way to the front
standing room area to watch the fashion show presided over by Mistress
Antoinette, showcasing Versatile Fashions' Fashions for the New
Millenium. We loved the opening by fetish maids cleaning the runway,
(we wanted to kidnap one)! We adored Mistress Antoinette's showgirl
costume, and I really loved the camouflage treatment applied to
fetish clothes. Always with your finger on our pulse, Versatile!
The show was entertaining as well as beautiful, with the models
interacting in little skits depicting some pervy scene.
After the show, and dancing, Shaydee and I
went on a slut prowl and were very successful, (weren't we, Miss
Cindy Bimbo?!)! Sluts seemed to be in abundance, a couple of them
tagged along with us to a party in Mistress Kaven Cloake's suite,
where despite the crowd, some enthusiastic players- Mistress Simone,
and cabana boy among them, got their licks in!
Then it was back to our room for even more
playing followed by shrimp cocktails & chocolate covered strawberries
from roomservice somewhere near dawn. As we left the scene, we saw
many of our friends old and new in their 'street' clothes, some
hardly recognizable, we traded anecdotes, phone numbers, email addresses,
and our hopes to see each other at future fetish parties. All agreed
that Las Vegas was a great place for a fetish party, and that it
was forever changed by DTT 1998!
(ED. -- some times you
go to a party, some times you bring the party with you, sometimes
-- as in the case of these notoriously naughty folk -- you just make
the party where ever you go!)
