There was expected to 200-300 nude picnickers attending at Hyde Park Picnic at the boathouses north of the serpentine on 1st June 2003 (Sunday). We attended from 10.30am until 11.30am and are sad to report that no one turned up to this event at all despite widespread media coverage on LBC radio news bulletins and soundbytes by Richard Collins from The British Nude Federation, the organiser.

This film is really all about spanking and features about 5 or 6 spankings. One is bare bottom skirt up pants down and is more or less a porno one. The film is about a woman Lee who is a self harmer. Her boss a posh solicitor sees this and one day tries to spank her instead she supposedly discovers a new dimension and then makes typos trying to get more and more spankings. She is depicted in the movie as spanking crazy and gagging for it. The film has only these 2 characters in it mainly. Eventually she leaves and the sapnkings stop. A classic ahead of its time in daring and quite tasteful. Interesting. Probably wouldnt be understood by non fetishists.

Sorry for the quiet spell on the site lately, with no new articles being posted - unfortunately I got knocked off my motorbike last month and only got out of hospital a couple of hours ago. I'll be trying to catch up on various things over the next few days, including the backlog of articles waiting to be posted here, and an incredible amount of emails that I received while I was away!

At the beginning of the year I made an order online with Feline Foreplay (www.felineforeplay.com) using my debit card. My bank account was debited and I received an automated receipt, which told me my goods had been sent a couple of days later. My goods never came. I tried to phone the number given on the website for telephone orders, only to discover it was not in use. Feline Foreplay did not reply to email or a letter from myself asking them to contact me about my order. Trading Standards were able to find a telephone number for the owner of the company, but she refused to discuss the matter with them or allow them to pass on her telephone number to me. She also apparently refused to discuss it with my bank's fraud department, who eventually took the money I had paid back out of her account and returned it to me.

Club Mystyx is a new play club in Glasgow, having opened for the first time in Feb 2003. It was described to me as small and friendly, with a door limit of only 60 people, so I expected something more cozy than the other clubs I've attended in Scotland. My first, and only, visit to date was in April and this review is based on that one attendance only.

The bash is on Bank Holiday Sunday (25th May, 2003) at the Fringe, 330 Kennington Lane, Vauxhall, SE10. Starts at 10pm. Ends get thrashed. This is a party to rival last year's Royals and Rebels event!

One for the extremely rich shoe fetishists The full story (with pictures) can be found here.

I am currently working on a programme for Granada called Cheshire Sex. I am looking for interesting characters involved in the fetish scene in Cheshire.

Ceasars Nightclub in the midlands is now under new ownership and has an exciting line-up of events planned for 2003.

I got involved in the fetish scene some five years ago via my boyfriend. I find it fascinating and populated by diverse, open, usually friendly and occasionally sexy people.
