Hi everybody. I have heard of a academy of SM in San Francisco and of BDSM school in Barcelona. Does any one knows of a similar in the UK? it does not have to be an establishment but it can easily be a private. Has anyone ever made a video about the art of pain/lessons in pain?

After much searching, trying to find that most elusive of things - A club dedicated to the fetish scene, one that isnt at the mercy of a 3rd party pub/club,. It was great to finally find NEMESIS2.

Come one and all, bearing yule tide greetings, and we'll beat you to death with a chocolate log. This year we will not be celebrating this 'shiny commercial feast' they call Christmas. This year we shall be 'Tacky and cheap!' We shall hang Santa, have pizza instead of mince pies, lager instead of 'Mulled wine!' and binge on Rudolph sandwiches. Santa will have a full sack as usual(He doesn't get out much) but instead of expensive vanilla tat, it will be filled with £1 fetish goodies. So instead of a cold winters evening with the TV, you can warm your partners 'Rump steak!' with a prezzie from the £1 shop!

After reading various comments posted around various sites and boards, it seems that there have been some mixed reviews from people over the last year since the new ownership of Ceasars Nightclub. I have to agree that some of the nights have indeed been very good, whereas others have been less than sucessfull. This I suppose, has been partly to do with the fact that, over the past year, we have been trying to strike up the right balance between the swingers and the fetish side of things, with some nights attempting a mixture of both.

It's the LFS Christmas party at the Fringe, December 6th. Help us bring in Christmas with a bang, a smack and a slap!

I have recently been purchasing rubber / latex clothing for my more proportionately built other half. Most of the clothing is of the thin latex type found in most non-specialist stores. The problem we have is finding stuff small enough. My other half is a size 8 or a very small size 10, often the S-M cut sizes require modification.

As of 10/11/2003 the BFE has been purchased from the previous owner by a community alliance headed by Mistressclp aka MistressAnita and including MsDemmie, ghost, Jazzie and MistressFox, Dave and other scene people.

Does anyone know of anyone (in the UK or elsewhere) making clothes similar to that availible in rubber (latex) out of one of the latex replacement materials (like nitrile, used in medical gloves, etc.). I have a latex allergy, so normal latex/rubber items aren't an option. I know there's PVC, but it doesn't exactly behave the same or have the same sort of skin-tight fit...

A friend of mine and i are thinking of organising a fetish nite at a venue (yet to be deceided) in liverpool city center. To be honest neither of us has much in the way of experience of the fetish scene (he may have but is keeping reasonably quiet about it and after a certain amount of research i've discovered that i have quite a few after all!) and so we were wondering if anyone could give us some pointers as to what you would like a fetish night to be like.

(email from Westward Bound): Westward Bound is moving from the historic Barbican area of Plymouth to the buzzing 'Cultural Corner' now emerging around Plymouth University at Drake Circus. As from Friday 7th November 2003 our shop will be situated at 44 Drake Circus, Plymouth PL4 8AB. It would help us if you would ensure that post is not sent to our shop but rather to our main administration and mail order office on Tavistock Road.
