Hmmm, I see. Well, I think we'll both worry about it nearer the time. I'm glad a few peeps from here are going. It'd be lovely to meet up and have a drink. I have visions of me and OH trying to be cool and nonchalant about stuff, but really being all wide-eyed at all the shenanigans LOL
I was invited to go once, but i was technically wasnt old enough at the time, but they werent to know that, but i hope to get the opportunity to go sometime in the future
Thank you for the stories, Hella, it sounds amazing.
I cannot wait to go with 'wide-eyed -waif' stamped on my forehead.

This isn't about Erotica, at least, my stuff wasn't LOL It's about going to the Torture Garden club!
Torture Garden run the Erotica Ball though, don't they so I think the dress code's the same... x

I've seen some INCREDIBLE amateur outfits too, don't discount what you can do with some faux fur and a sewing machine.
TG is what YOU want to make of it. If i want to go and be drunk and all rock n' roll then I bloody well do it. If I want to be la-de-da I'm a nice fetish model look at the pretty things I'm wearing, I do it. If it's my birthday and I want to pass out in my own puke, I do it.
Self confidence is key. Why give a damn what everyone else may possibly think of you? Do you REALLY care? Nah, didn't think so.
Get involved, it is amazing fun. But like all magical things, you have to believe in it and yourself for it to work!

Amen to that.
There's some great exampes of TG fashion on the Don'tStayIn website.

There's a big variety of stuff and not just looks that would be classed as fetish.
A friend of a friend attends reguarly in gold body paint and nipple tassels. It looks amazing but I can't help but think it must hurt when she runs upstairs.
I really want to go. Forgive my lack of knowledge, but I've looked on the website and the rules aren't clear to me. What can you actually do there in terms of giving/receiving sexual pleasure to yourself/others? Would be really grateful if someone can clear that up!

The rules aren't really surrounding those things. If it's consensual it happens, but of course they can't advertise what may or may not happen there as it would sound like some kind of club-come-brothel.
I wouldn't hesitate to say that I've seen it all there. ALL.
Thanks lady. I have a feeling my man and I would struggle to keep out hands off each other in that sort of environment, particularly with the outfits he has in mind. Being a novice I would hate to have made an etiquette blunder that would result in us being escorted from the premises!

Back from London Fetish Weekend and my write up has begun!
This year I took along a vanilla couple that had never been to a fetish event before. They've written about their experiences in my latest Blog post - http://www.lovehoney.co.uk/blog/2010/10/18/london-fetish-weekend-2010-a-first-time-fetish-club-experience/. I was also lucky enough to hear from a fetish photographer - Marcus T and a latex designer - Amy Day of Am Statik about their first time experiences.
If you're curious about fetish clubbing or the fetish scene, have a read of their experiences to see if you might be tempted to come join the party!
I'm curious and shall read!
I don't think I'm a huge perv, I'm very 'nilla but we now do have liquid latex!
