Party reviews

After we'd been looking at the Kinky*Beats flyers for some time with a more than average interest, we really thought it was necessary to set off for Cologne and attend this fifth edition of Kinky*Beats. The theme for the party that had been organized by fetish model Sue X-ess, was 'Masquerade Bizarre'. In view of our earlier experiences in Germany, the Germans know very well what to do with this subject. A good opportunity to get to know the Cologne fetish scene a little better. So, we booked a hotel for two nights and completed our plans after a little more surfing over the Internet.

This time we went for the ninth edition of Boudoir Bizarre and we hadn't missed a single one of them so far. And with another different theme again. The party's themes were surprising sometimes, predictable at some other times. And also, this edition might very well be the last one, as the organisers couldn't come to an agreement about the next one. Well, so be it. A second lustrum or not? We'll see. The venue this time was The Lexion again. The third venue for Boudoir Bizarre from the moment they started out and their second party at this particular spot. The removal to this venue was sort of forced upon them and we were curious to see how things turned out to be. To put it briefly... Enough things to explore.

Not long after we've visited some big events in London (Rubber Ball) and Essen (Fetish Evolution) we felt that 'party-itch' again. This time we had set our eyes on Berlin on another three days weekend event. Our piggy bank was almost empty, but what could be more fun than a city trip combined with a deep breathe of Berlin's fetish party life. So we took the plunge and departed the Thursday before Whitsun for the German Fetish Ball 2008.

After the overwhelming experience of the Fetish Evolution Weekend finally faded away, it was time again for another party on native soil. And we didn't pick the least one. Wasteland promises us some kick-ass extravagance and outrageous shows. More than enough to make us pick out a suitable outfit and complete it with some matching accessories. This time we decided for two dominant outfits. Anita's choice consisted of a black and red corset, black pants, long black gloves, all made of latex of course and knee-high boots with very, very high heels. Martin wore transparent black pants and suspenders, both made of latex and high boots also (without the high heels though). The both topped of with matching officer caps. A reasonable good choice for such a party, we thought.

Each year, during the Eastern weekend, the pick of the fetish bunch gathers in Essen (Germany) to celebrate the Fetish Evolution Weekend. Models, fashion designers, Masters, Mistresses and party people all know how to find their way to this large event and then melt together into a special and close community for a long weekend. But even though this weekend already started on Friday with the Play Party, we only decided to take off for this German village on Saturday.
