sf fetish ball weekend Sat past

Woke up early on Sat. But then realized how early and tried to nap a bit longer.
Finally realized it was no use and so jumped into the shower and headed downstairs to play mini-tour guide.
Ran in the Fuckin'Gerry and Ian Rath downstairs while i waited for Simon & Nigel to come down so we could go visit Hayes Valley and the DarkGarden corset shop. Got a call from HW asking about the show, and since they're 9 hours ahead it didnt happen yet, but we'd find out how it went soon enough.
Shopping and corsets were mentioned so EdenWells decided to drag Ian with us for breakfast and then our stroll up Hayes Street. Saw gloves i wanted and saw plenty of shoes but i resisted. Eden and I both resisited. Though she did get her measurements taken at DG.

Me and the Libidex boys headed over to Mr/Madame S after that. They worked on a repair while I poked into my email to find the price list from HW. Oh and shop. Had to use up my credit. Wasn't sure what I wanted. Kind of funny, not being able to spend money in a place like that. Maybe too tired. I ended up getting a big bottle of lube, pair of shoes for the show, and some latex capri pants that i can wear with flipflops. perfect for the spring/summer coming up. And i still have about $150 remaining. GAH. Back to the hotel then, and another cab with Simon n Nigel to the venue, but this time all our heavy latex. Got there just a bit before 4pm. right on time.

HW had the largest dressing room. score. though of course, a bit larger would have done a lot better but all things considered, i'm not complaining. (we also had the most models). alexandrial showed up and got busy with the girls' faces one by one. I let the girls go to pick up things they wanted like drinks n stuff since sitting around sucks. puremeow showed up and her dress fit pretty damn nicely and so that was a relief as did EvilPonyGirl's dress. Still hadn't heard the music for the show but ended up tossing out a walking plan for the girls with bits of paper. Simple and easy at least in my head. I think it worked out ok. Not fancy but do-able with only 10 minutes of rehearsal time. Alex continued doing up the faces so I took off and went to pick up a sushi platter for the HW models. Though I think a few other people decided to eat as well cuz after i left it for a bit of time, i came back to find it pretty damn clear. As if kraft services would bring sushi. shit. that was my own money dammit. oh well.

and me.

charlottelang was supposed to be my bitch but Libidex stole her. Hmm. I'll just think of it as trade for the AgentProvocateur knickers. (traded for a pair of underwear!).

Alex set me up with her buddy Michael who was a great help. Couldn't have done it without him. Well, OK, yes i could but it would have sucked and been a lot more stressful. He got the girls all cinched in and laced up. Reminded them to check their teeth for lipstick before going onstage and everything. kick ass. Only had to do a couple of latex repairs... hmmm... 3 were for scar (garter belt, lace panties, gloves) and one for the zipper on the glove that Tori wore.

I think the show went OK. Hell, I wasn't even to bothered about the fact that I drank the water out of dante_posh's piss pants. The ones I thought she was unable to PEE in but actually DID - a lil.

suckage bit: Libidex went before us. their music included Firestarter. Ours: Smack My Bitch Up. heh. I don't ever have to hear Prodigy again.

Show done, got the latex gathered up and packed away. Michael took the things to coatcheck to clear the room. I tossed on make up (full face hood with closed eyes meant i only had my lips done). Jumped into my AtsukoKudo brown/gold leaopard print dress & hat and then ran downstairs to find a drink and a cig. Had fun. Ran around danced a bit with Nigel & Simon. Talked to bunches of people. Lots of photo stops. OMG, the DJ played that song by Gunter and the SunShine Girls, oooh, you touch my tralala, mmm my dingdingdong! Realized I only had 2 drinks all night just as I realized that the bars were all closed. Crawled around the dressing room floor with darenzia looking for crack rocks. Then finally back to the hotel after collecting the heavy bags of latex.

Hung out a bit with misscon, darenzia, mistralmadriiax, and a couple other girls (ok and Simon too) in kippiepoo's tiny room. We found a bunch of RedBull (thanks Jules) and proceded to shoot up massive quantities laced with the crack darenzia and I found at the venue. Unfortunately the mixture gave us all explosive diahrhea. I went downstairs to smoke and so a quick call to HW in Vienna to make a report and then headed off to bed.

sf ball n eros zine

their review of the ball is up now
HERE

it's ok and there's a crap image of me.

but on the other hand as it says, it's hard enough to sum up the entire weekend in a single short article and get everything that happened written down.

my only critiques, of course my opinion, is that even though i did have fun with this event, it really doesnt beat out the other events - at least in europe, and definitely not the torture garden parties. but you do what you must and work with what you have. it was fun. and i enjoyed having my international friends show up to add their flavor to this party.

as far as the pansexual flavor that san francisco offers up, that's definitely true.

too bad the SFball crew invited 2 european designers to come all the way out for such minimal coverage. there's still time for the other articles to come out, but i was a bit disappointed considering the ErosGuide does attempt to cover the globe a bit better. the pieces (at least for hw's show) were all new and created for SF. the show that libidex put on i've only seen before in european venues (london especially). that sucks and is annoying considering the package of HWdesign's latex sent from Vienna alone cost about $400 to ship over.

i really wish people who hire designers would get the name right. it's HWDESIGN not hwdesigns. of course, it's listed incorrectly on the sfball site still.

funny how the la fetish ball was mentioned, most of the fetish models and work people that i saw were actually from SoCal rather than local freaks.

sf fetish ball weekend Sun past

woke up too early after going to bed sometime around 6am.

but it was the last day for me to play hostess so i went with the Libidex boys to drop off their latex at Mr/MadameS and say good bye. The we had to grab some brunch. Took them up to Union Street/Cow Hollow where we ate at this restaurant that i know used to be called L'Entrecote. It was right next to Betlenut I know. (used to eat there a lot too).

After we cruised north a bit and over the Golden Gate, then up into the Marin Headlands. Walked around and I took photos of them playing tourist in front of the bridge and up by the no longer (or ever) used military installations. REALLY DAMN NICE DAY. (lucky since monday royally sucked with the rain). Spent an hour or 2 up there but then headed down towards Golden Gate park but got a call from kippiepoo about meeting up for dinner with fd_midori. The park was blocked off for people trying to do healthy things so i couldnt get my car in anyways, and i'm not walking to Stow Lake so we said fuck it. Had to get back to the hotel and let the boys pack before meeting up at dinner at 730pm. Napped while they got all their luggage together and thrown into my car.

Ate a LOT of damn food and as usual, we were pretty sucessful at stuffing everything into our bellies. Had another latex hand-over with fd_midori on the street outside of the KBBQ place. Got Simon & Nigel back into my car and drove them to the airport for their midnight flight to Thailand. *jealous*

Back to the hotel to hang with kippiepoo and missed the wrap party, called mistralmadriiax but she didnt come over. i already wrote about that crap before.
