INIQUITY NEWS #32
April 30, 2005
In this issue of INIQUITY NEWS we've got news regarding the GRAND FINALE of Carnavale De Sade on May 7th including AWESOME additions to the line up, info from Fetish Factory in Florida, the WINNER of the INIQUITY Flyer Design Contest, News from Holland, a Review of the UNIQUE Carnavale De Sade 6 with the Strictest Dress Code EVER, and news on Two New Shops in Los Angeles that are an absolute MUST VISIT!
But before we begin, we have information regarding Pervery in Paradise!
We want to especially thank the people at KINK IN THE CARIBBEAN
( http://www.kinkinthecaribbean.com/ ) for their generous donation of
the GRAND PRIZE for the BEST DRESSED OVERALL contest to be held at
CARNAVALE DE SADE 7: OVER THE BIG TOP! on May 7th, 2005.
KINK IN THE CARIBBEAN is an annual event held at Hedonism III every
year where Pervs and Fetishists effectively TAKE OVER this extremely
Liberally-Minded resort, and this is their sixth year running! It is
fairly safe to say that there is no other event quite like it anywhere
in the world. Slipping down the on-site water-slide dressed head to
toe in latex alone is worth the trip! Expect BDSM classes, shows every
night, bondage-on-the-beach, Jamaican sunsets, and a party every night!
For details and full info on KITC, visit their website, which again is:
http://www.kinkinthecaribbean.com/
Note: the GRAND PRIZE at CDS 7 on May 7th is a 5-Night-Stay for 2 at
Hedonism III where KINK IN THE CARIBBEAN is held, however those 5
nights cannot be used during KITC itself. Prize is all inclusive for
all activities, room, & meals at the resort, including transport to and
from the resort. Airfare not included. PRIZE IS A STAY FOR TWO (2)
PEOPLE TOGETHER!!! So YES, that means you AND Your Date!!!

APPROXIMATE RETAIL VALUE OF THIS GRAND PRIZE: $1500.00 !!!!
WANT THAT GRAND PRIZE? YOU'D BETTER DRESS TO KILL!!!
Yep, you heard it correctly. Although there is No Dress Code for this Grand Finale, what we CAN do is REWARD THE HELL OUT OF THOSE WHO GO ALL OUT TO MAKE AN EFFORT AND DRESS TO THE GILLS! Besides the 5-NIGHT-STAY at Hedonism III in Jamaica, we will also have a VARIETY OF PRIZES FOR 2nd & 3rd Place as well as the Runner's Up! In addition, expect some rather awesome rewards for the Best Tattoo and Best Piercing/s Contest! We will hold a special contest for the best FETISH ATTIRE separately from the BEST DRESSED OVERALL (and YES, you CAN WIN TWICE!). To be clear, Best Dressed Overall means ANYTHING -- Fetish, Masquerade, Insane Burning Man, Futuristic, Wild Costume, or WHATEVER!!!
TABLE O' CONTENTS
Performances by:
INFERNO INC
JOEY STRANGE AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON
LIVE PIERCING SUSPENSION SHOW LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN!
House DJ the INCREDIBLE Henry Self
and Special HEADLINING Guest DJ:
The One....The Only....The ORIGINAL INIQUITY DJ HIMSELF: DJ Ron/e!!!
Yep, DJ Ron/e will flying in from out of town just for this blowout
event so this will be your chance to experience the mixing of one of
the best Fetish DJ's in America!!!
Ron/e was there at the INIQUITY Grand Opening back in 1998, and spun at
all INIQUITY parties for the first several years. His were the tunes
that had people first opening up to the whole idea that a FETISH PARTY
can be UPBEAT and HAPPY as opposed to the ubiquitous Heavy & Edgy
Goth-Industrial sounds that tend to permeate the West Coast Fetish
clubs. Some Fetish clubs go too far into Techno to get away from the
Goth-Industrial, but Ron/e knows how to keep the mix JUST RIGHT to keep
the dance floor SEXY for all of you writhing and wriggling in your
Rubber Revelry! INIQUITY has always stood for an emulation of the
European Fetish Scene in America and no DJ brings it more home to that
ideal than DJ Ron/e!
And for you Goth-Industrial fans, we can honestly say that DJ Henry
Self has been an ABSOLUTE BLESSING to CARNAVALE DE SADE -- he is
without a doubt one of the FINEST Industrial-Rave DJ's that INIQUITY
has EVER had the pleasure of working with. Henry's mix spans a WIDE
RANGE of tastes while remaining cohesive to the INIQUITY IDEAL. A
great many Goth-Industrial-80's fans know Henry from his Friday Night
spinning at Miss Kitty's Parlour in Los Angeles where he is also
recognized as one seriously fine talent! Henry is truly a master of
the decks, and you Goth-Ind fans will be seriously pleased by the tunes
you hear.
Special Guest DJ Mr. M will also be showing up to spin a guest set
showcasing his unique talents and testing out some of his newest sounds
that span a wide range from Industrial-Rave to EBM to Dark House.
THIS WILL BE THE BEST DJ LINE UP CARNAVALE DE SADE HAS EVER HAD, SO
DON'T MISS IT!!!

"Wasteland News
Upcoming Wasteland event May the 21st.
As you have probably heard our next event, 21st of May, is going to
take place in the Powerzone. This great location with a an outdoor
terrace turned out to be highly appreciated by many of our regular
visitors and also by us. Although normally the Powerzone doesn't have
any problems getting their guests inside, we made some special extra
arrangements with the venue. We've ensured that the wardrobe is free
and arranged extra staff to accommodate our guests. Besides that the
Powerzone offers more than enough parking space for all our guests.
For more information visit our website http://www.wasteland.nl.
Performances at Wasteland:
Lexington Steele (USA)
As Lexington Steele told his mother, "I'm the guy who does the things
people talk about in hushed tones." Dubbed "The Porn Star for the New
Millenium," Boogie Night's Dirk Diggler pales in comparison to "Lex the
Impaler."
Torture Garden fashion show (UK)
TG Clothing combines top quality latex design, innovative fashion

When we were first invited to become partners at CARNAVALE DE SADE we
made it clear that the involvement of INIQUITY necessarily meant that
at some point the INIQUITY Ideals MUST come into play if our name was
to be associated with the event. As you have read over the past
several seasons, we started with strong encouragement to dress well and
then slowly built up to the point of drawing the line that makes the
difference. We had to start slow like that to appease our partners as
well as to gently introduce the idea of a Strict Fetish Dress code to
the idiosyncratic and endlessly spirited city of Los Angeles.
As such it was not until the 5th Carnavale De Sade that we finally drew that line with a simple "No Blue Jeans" rule and the results were SPECTACULAR! We had our largest turn-out ever and many more people showed up dressed FAR nicer than previous CARNAVALE events. Clearly the denizens of Los Angeles, exactly as INIQUITY has always believed you will find in any major city in the Western World, were CRAVING the kind of experience that INIQUITY can offer.
The results at CDS 5 were so inspiring that we decided it was time to draw the line one step closer to the true INIQUITY Ideal of the European Style Strict Fetish Dress Code. In Europe, it is not about buying a $500 latex outfit -- it is about JOINING the Event as PART of The Party. No invisible wallflowers -- everybody in the pool. Voyeurs are most welcome but they too have to be PART of the experience, not outside the experience. It just does not get any better than that.
Although we did not instill the full INIQUITY Dress Code, we tightened
the ship significantly. The result was most interesting. From the
INIQUITY perspective we can honestly say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone
who was there, because IT WAS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CROWD
CARNAVALE DE SADE HAS EVER ENJOYED!!! It was borderline amazing!
Although the Dress Code pretty much only steered away all forms of
street clothes, AGAIN the attendees took this as a sign to Seriously Go
Out Of Their Way To Look SPECTACULAR! I recall one moment when I
stepped out of a hallway into the grand hall at Passive Arts and my
eyes were stunned by the incredible perfection of the moment -- The
Style, The Color, The Vibe, The Pure Fetish Expression -- all elements
were in place, almost as though the INIQUITY Dress Code had been met
even though the night's actual dress code was looser than that. A
variety of people there commented throughout the night that they had
been looking for a FETISH club EXACTLY like what they had experienced
that night at CDS 6. I, Arcane, could not have been any prouder.
The key point for those out there who want to run a Fetish Club or feel daunted by instilling a Dress Code is that we really did not have to instill the FULL IQ Dress Code -- just getting halfway there was enough to inspire most of the attendees to take it All The Way! Sure we lost a few attendees who refused to make the effort, and indeed this might bother promoters whose only interest is making another dollar. However that is not nor has it ever been the focus of INIQUITY. Our goal is to create THE BEST FETISH EXPERIENCE WE POSSIBLY CAN.
Unfortunately with CARNAVALE DE SADE coming to a close on May 7th we really did not have the chance to ramp the Dress Code up even closer to the INIQUITY Ideal, our original goal. Instead we opted to throw the doors wide for CDS 7 and just see what will happen when we make it clear to the world that we so want you to Dress Up for the Grand Finale that we plan to REWARD those who make the effort, some in the biggest and most incredible ways you can imagine! (like that Hedonism Grand Prize!)!
Nonetheless, CDS 6 stands as PROOF that there are PLENTY of Fetishists who are SINCERE about Creating The Superior Fetish Club Experience. We here at INIQUITY are quite positive that word would have spread, the numbers would have built, and the club would have become a West Coast destination for sincere Pervs all over the world. Let this shine as a glowing example for any Fetish Promoter that YOUR CROWD IS OUT THERE, WAITING AND WANTING the Superior Fetish Club. It is TRUE that you may not turn a gigantic profit while word spreads, but CDS 6 stands there to show that if you stay True To Your Fetish Goals and True To Your Fetish Integrity, you will be rewarded with one of the most amazing and sincere Fetish Crowds you can possibly imagine...and you will find your endeavors noted on the Global Fetish Map.
Take it from us here at INIQUITY:
GIVE to the Fetish Community and they will Give Back to You.
Together we can SUCCEED and make our Fetish Dreams REAL.
Another essential visit on the Los Angeles tour is the infamous MELROSE
AVE. Anyone interested in looking HOT knows that Melrose Ave is
without a doubt one of the COOLEST shopping districts IN THE WORLD.
Unreal deals stand side-by-side with custom leather boutiques, and you
can always grab your Starbucks and sushi or stay all day and end your
night with some live music or sidewalk dining. Truly Melrose Ave is
just plain a GIVEN for almost any clued-in shopper in the L.A. area.
The AWESOME news is that Two New Shops have just opened up that go FAR
beyond the usual fare. It is true that Melrose has hosted some of the
most amazing clothing stores in the past such as SHRINE, now a thriving
business and host to a second store called CLUTCH, and the sadly
just-recently-closed RETAIL SLUT, a mainstay for all Fetishists and
Fetishism in L.A. for many years.
Yet unbeknownst to most people are two new names to genuinely grace
that avenue of shopper's dreams: ARMAGEDDON STYLE Shoe Store, and
the Utterly Unique and One-Of-A-Kind ITALIANO COUTURE.
The owners of ARMAGEDDON STYLE Shoes spent years working for some of
the finest High Heel shops on Hollywood Blvd. As a couple of clued-in young entrepreneurs, they decided to strike out on their own, creating
a shop with the seriously sexy in mind, while congruently catering to
the reality of Dancing In Comfort. Yep, a whole shoe store of the best
of the best high heel boots and shoes (and some Industrial styles as
well) EXPRESSLY with COMFORT in mind. My slave and I were shopping all
over Hollywood and Melrose for just such shoes so she could look her
Fetish Best AND dance all night. We visited all the name shops, and
then -- no joke -- when we were about to give up we stumbled on
ARMAGEDDON. It was like a dream the way the variety suited our deeply
perverted tastes AND we found more to our genuine liking than ALL THE
OTHER SHOPS COMBINED. Don't get me wrong -- the Hollywood Blvd shops
have an AMAZING selection, but how many within that selection are
actually practical as anything other than bedroom shoes? And of those
that are meant for dancing, how many can you find for a genuinely
REASONABLE price?
In short, we cannot recommend ARMAGEDDON STYLE enough!
They are located at 7324 Melrose Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90046
Phone: 323-931-2218
The second absolute new treasure found on Melrose is the uniquely
fetishy ITALIANO COUTURE. Owned and operated by a charming couple from
Italy, the shop hosts strictly their own original clothing designs,
primarily in leather. While they do have a small selection of more
mainstream cuts in the leather pants, shirts, and the like, what makes
this shop so amazing are the woman's dresses and corsets which
seriously push the limits of spreading Fetish into Mainstream. Chains
and restraints, corseting and buckles adorn a variety of the leather
and suede creations. The actual designs themselves are sexy and 100%
completely original, often with seemingly haphazardly scalloped edges,
asymmetrical cuts, and a serious eye for some just plain HOT and Erotic
fashions. The shop owners themselves wanted to bridge the gap between
fetish and very sexy club wear, and whereas their stock is not going to
be found in the bargain basement, they ARE reasonably priced.
Aficionados of unique fetish fashion everywhere would do themselves a
service to get a gander at these truly unique explorations in leather
design. In the shop owners own words, their biggest problem has been
that mainstream customers find their designs too shocking and get
scared away by the undoubtedly RAW sexiness portrayed. As far as we
here at INIQUITY are concerned, their designs are absolutely right up
the FETISH alley. Do yourself a favor and stop by.
ITALIANO COUTURE is located at 7201 Melrose with an unmarked store
front. You will see the mannequins in the window.
Their phone # is: 323-938-1609
