Researchers looking into a possible link between wearing high heels and osteoarthritis of the knee in women were surprised to find that in fact wearing high heels seems to offer some kind of benefit in preventing the condition.

As far as i know Rock night at the fringe is one of the first London fetish nights. Jo from the LFS put it on. It was pretty good. The main thing is that they got the music right.

I d like to go to a fetish club or events in the Merseyside area. I get the feeling that the scene is for 20 year olds. But I may be wrong. I am 56 but very young at heart. Can anybody advise me of where to go?

There is a place close to Stansted Airport that offers B+B to all us fetish people. They have a wonderfull dungeon with the most fantastic four poster bondage bed. They also cater for cross dressers and can provide a dressing service.

My hubby and I are looking at going to the Westward Bound Latex Ball in November in Plymouth. Is anyone else going? I'm very new to all this, my hubby has been into it longer than me but has never been to a fetish event either. Can anyone let me know what it is like, what music is played and things like that? Thanks in advance.
