Last Friday saw my pervy buddies and I, heading along to Subway City in Birmingham for Scarlets 'The Nightmare before Christmas.'

We went along to 'Seasons Beatings' - billed as The Firms Christmas do - with some trepidation. It was a dark quiet deserted Warren Street that greeted us on a cold slightly wet Sunday evening. True to form The Smugglers Tavern a small pub was there, the windows covered up with paper and The Firm's sign outside.

I went along to the TG Fetish Bazaar in the Purple Turtle again today. The event has now gone monthly, allowing the organisers to put a bit more time into making each one an event in its own right, which seems to be paying off - the place was definitely more crowded than last time I visited, despite the miserable weather today.

We are launching a variety of weekday club nights along the Silicon corridor (M4) from Febuary next year. Buzz words for these nights could be alternative, extreme fashion, fetish, cyberpunk, neo-gothic, industrial, cosplay, anime, rock, skate punk, caberet, burleques.

Transsexuals are to be given the right to change their birth certificates and marry in their adopted sex, after a 30-year legal battle. See this article in the Guardian for the full story.

Hi all and sundry. I am thinking of setting up a Watford munch with a friend of mine, Evie. I personally think that the area as a whole is crying out for it. Watford, Harrow and the surrounds are densely populated. There must be a high perve ratio out there.

We are delighted to announce that we have had some lovely articles donated to us to aid in raising money for The Outsiders Org.

Last night I went to Slimelight to check out the visiting LA fetish club Perversion. On the whole it was a fairly good night out, although more for the mix of music than any other factor.

Another summary article, this time a selection of the many photographers who post 'seeking models' adverts to the site. Some are paying, most aren't. Some want serious BDSM shots, some want fetish clothing pics. A few of them can show examples of previous work, most can't or don't. If you want to be a fetish model, read the offers and see if any of them are of interest to you... and please, be careful if you do decide to follow up on any of these opportunities - check things out beforehand, take a chaperon with you, etc.

People have submitted a number of short requests lately asking about clubs and shops in various towns/areas. If you know any good places to go in the following places, please leave a comment with some information: Portsmouth, Southport, Southampton, Leeds and Menorca (?!)
