The Advertising Standards Authority have banned a poster campaign from Yves St Laurent on the grounds that it featured a nude female in a reclining pose, and this was somehow indecent or pornographic.

This is a repost of a review I wrote of last month's Rapture, for the benefit of anyone reading here who is thinking of going to the next one...

Four weeks have passed since last I partied in Cambridge, and so it was that last night I found myself loading the car with music and friends and heading for another Tight Laced event...

We see the rumour mongers are at work again, so I will post in here. We would really like to do it "Face to Face" unfortunately the people concerned don't seem to go to BDSM clubs and talk to me.

Nanette & I spent a few hours at Erotica on the Friday night.

After being to two of the Manchester Community parties with my partner I can't let them go by uncommented.

Saturday night (2nd December) I went to Klymax, a fetish club night organised in Portsmouth and I think I can definitely say that a good time was had by all!

We went to the new shop in Kings Cross this afternoon, Fettered Pleasures. The website is minimal for now but will be more extensive soon with pictures etc of merchandise.

Absolution run regular fetish nights in the Milton Keynes area (see previous reviews [ 1 ] [ 2 ]). For last night, their second birthday party and early Xmas event, they obtained a bigger and better venue than those they have previously used to put on their events.

The Birmingham Bizarre Bazaar for November was as eye-opening as ever, with plenty of new stalls to browse and new faces to get to know. Of note were a very well-stocked new leather stall and a tarot reader! The B2g crowd were there in force, making as much of a nuisance of themselves as usual - in a good way though!
