San Francisco Featured Event

The San Francisco Fetish Ball returns this year with a healthy dollop of hot honeys and fetish freaks to perk up the City by the Bay. In case you didn't know, the famed event took 2007 off after its mind-bending 5th-anniversary blowout in 2006, and it's prepared to bring fetish back to the City with a vengeance.


"Be prepared for the most over the top Fetish Ball the States has ever thrown," say the organizer. "The previous six years were just a warm up for what we have in store for you," they said, noting that the 2006 event "sold out, and people were lined up down the street waiting for the tips of their toes to touch the red carpet."

"Our theme this year is based on a 1927 silent science-fiction film created by famed Austrian-German director, Fritz Lang. Metropolis is set in the year 2026, in the extraordinary Gothic skyscrapers of a corporate city-state, the Metropolis of the title. Society has been divided into two rigid groups: one of planners or thinkers, who live high above the earth in luxury, and another of workers who live underground toiling to sustain the lives of the privileged."

Goth me up, baby! The fun gets started at the SFFB Gallery Show, Thursday, March 6 at the DNA LOunge, 375 11th Street at Harrison. It goes down at 8pm and runs 'till 1:30am, and is 21 and over. Artists on exhibit will include Michael Hussar, Alan Daniels, Philip Warner, Allan Amato, Collin J. Rae, Oliver Mendoza, Jody Cortes, and Paige White.


Then, lace up your boots and head over to Club Enslaved, Friday, March 6 at Club Whisper on the border of the Mission and the South of Market district at 535 Florida Street. There, Midori and Kumi will present "Aesthetics of Suffering." They say: "Aesthetics of endurance is a pervasive element for the Japanese, even for those scattered across the globe, having decided to be the nails that stick out, thus stepping out. To endure, or 'gaman,' is a suffering." Given that their performance at the West Coast Fetish Ball involved suspension bondage and oodles of raw fish, this one's guaranteed to be a pervy winner. Read more about the SFFB Website.

But wait -- there's more! "Captives to the Sprawling Cityscape" is a presentation by Madison Young & James Mogul, very much on the "Metropolis" theme. "Captive to the sprawling cityscape, the machine of technology grinds its gears churning over every thing that lives until there is only one being that remains. It is animal vs machine." Friday's Club Enslaved DJ will be DJ Addison, returning after his beloved engagement at the 2006 SFFB Club Enslaved.

But the main event's still to come. The SF Fetish Ball goes down Saturday, March 8 from 9:30pm-3am. It's also 21 and over, and takes place at the sumptuous Regency Grand Ballroom at 1300 Van Ness. This is the same venue that so charmed audiences at 2006's event, and suits the elegant and opulent ball to a T. Mistress of Ceremonies will be Sister Roma: "Together with her Sisters Roma has been on the front lines in the war against HIV and AIDS, raising $1M+ for charitable and service organizations." Other actors will include Pretty Purvy all the way from London, England, and Germany's famed Body Cult. Other exhibitors will include Anticeptic Fashions from Los Angelesm, Vex Clothing from Chicago, Madame S from San Francisco and Berkeley artist Suzanne Rachel Forbes.

Other fetish luminaries attending include Darenzia, Angela Ryan, Natalie Addams, and Washington DC's Mosh. There's no question that this year's SFFB is going to continue the legacy of sizzlin' hot fetish fun you've come to expect from this crew. Don't miss it!
