Not only do we have Ron Athey for our birthday party but we are doing a Special 'Body Probe' on Sunday 3rd December. This will be our second Body Probe, our first being the X'ed le Head hook hanging back in 1997.

A month ago I reviewed Tight Laced, a small fetish night in the Cambridge area. I said at the time that I would definitely be going to the next one, and amazingly I actually managed it!

I thought Subverse managed to be what it said on the advert! Open minded, friendly and supportive. We didn't read our poems out but we did share them around and discuss how they related to the theme, which is primarily now, valuing submission, surrender and submissive people. My husband and my Master were both there to support me in this unusual experiment. One man turned up having seen my small poster in the Poetry Cafe. He said he came because it was enigmatic and interesting. He was a frequenter of fetish clubs and when I showed him the 'Beginner's Guide to BDSM' leaflet I have compiled, he made comments like what does BDSM stand for, what does a munch mean and I think vanilla is an underrated flavour, to which we all agreed! He also said I was making myself doubly vulnerable by combining poetry and submission in one event!

Prompted by a discussion on the uk.people.bdsm newsgroup, I've started putting together a 'Perv Code', an idea based on the popular Geek Code.

I've just got home from Tight Laced at the Q club in Cambridge, an up and coming event with a seriously low entry price, and a good variety of music through the night.

You are more than welcome to view my website, featuring my fetish for plastic raincoats, pvc, nylon and latex clothing.

In-Time Studios is a makeover and photographic studio located in Central London (I don't remember the address). I went there in July before heading out to the Way Out club for the night, and was suitable madeover for the evening ahead...

The site was offline for just under 10 minutes today while a major software upgrade took place... the most visible benefits of this to you will be that (1) you can put a little biography on your user info page, along with adding a .sig to your comments, and (2) the software now allows you to reply to other people's replies, allowing threaded conversations a bit like a newsgroup.

Okay, this is a subject touched on towards the bottom of the Torture Garden review posted below, but then I also got into a big discussion about it on #SubmissionUK as well, so I thought I'd give it some front page space all of its own... If you decide to play (BDSM or sexual scenes) in a public place such as a club, do you have the right to be annoyed when people crowd round to watch?
