waste o time place

just like the subject heading says: more images from the show ...
these were shot by kinkerbelle - http://www.kinkerbelle.com/



Someone commened the other day on one of these images from my Dallas performance. They mentioned how it looked really cool and couldn't wait to do it. Basically, they were going to take my idea and do it themselves. Great. Not sure how I feel about that one - oh yes, I think I do. What crap. It's not like they even understood the concept going on in my head especially when all most people see online are the images. And even for those in the audience, I'm pretty sure they didn't realize that I did have a concept in mind and wanted to feature aspects of minimalism for this  show... Oh well. meh.

well here it is!
all the info for this weekend!



i should be on around 00h30.
and it'll def be audience participation so you can help hurt me during my show.
gah!

sometimes when i do a show, afterward i reflect back on it and remember the parts that didn't quite go as i planned or wanted.

this time, considering the amount of real preparation that went into the final delivery, it went very well - in fact, there's nothing that really stands out that i would have changed except for one thing - more wax.


i'm waiting on images from the show still, and there was also video taken too
but here's a preview





i think people enjoyed it.

i updated the moblog with all the rome images so far including sat nite main event shots.
here's a couple!






and from sunday nite's bondage party:










again, the rest are at the moblog

This is it!

I figure 40 is a nice big number so I decided I will celebrate it in my old & constant home city of San Francisco with a bunch of local friends at the bay area's longest running fetish club: Bondage-A-Go-Go!

First of all, the line up features a selection of performers often found on stages around the world, but rarely at home here in the Bay Area. But now you can have us all on a single night!

-----

From Bondage-A-GoGo:

Kink Queen Kumi is turning 40 and we have the pleasure of hosting an over-the-top kinky carnival featuring the following unusual and exotic performances: Birthday girl Kumi (with Midori) – performing a souped-up version of one of their notorious Torture Garden (London UK) shows. This is a rare treat and Midori’s first BaGG performance in over 6 years!

PLUS – an on-stage flesh suspension with Samar Soriano, a sick and twisted carnival sideshow with Reverend B. Dangerous of OZ Fest with Kendra James, a sensual burlesque performance with Vienna La Rouge all hosted by local impresario and cultivator of carnal delights Paul Nathan.

There will also be Fun Fetish caricatures with Big Al Lopez, birthday cake, as well as giveaways and prizes from Stormy Leather and JT’s Stockroom. This is a once in a lifetime party and the possibilities are endless.

DO NOT MISS THIS!
8:00PM Doors. 18 and over.
Tickets $10 ADV/$20.00 DOORS
Advance Tickets @ TicketWeb
http://TinyURL.com/yd3keh9
(NO discounts/passes/guestlist for this night!)

---

Don't forget, it's also St. Patrick's Day so do try and add some colour to your wardrobe instead of basic black! Check out the local shops (see our sponsors) and they'll help you get sorted wonderfully!

The event is open to the public but the entire upstairs area will be open for those dressed up in either formal cocktail attire or strict fetish or costume. Make an effort!
(Sorry, but little black bootie shorts & bras don't actually make the cut).

The club itself has a dress code: No jeans, sportwear, or street clothes.

Hey non-fetish friends (ie. peeps from high school & the nuthouse!): If you don't want to invest in a crazy latex outfit - not everyone wants to wear rubber or leather - then go for formal, either modern or retro! Otherwise, think costumes or some other type of extravagant get up: fantasy, body art, drag, burlesque, uniforms, medical, military, cabaret, carnival, circus, avant garde, etc. Be creative!

I'm heading back to the Netherlands in April for Wasteland!
Performing April 17 and most likely with mirja  !!!

Lukas Zpira and Satomi will also be at this one too!

So far so good.
Tomorrow evening I should hear some more!

I have created an event page for my B-Day party over at Facebook.
I have also created an event page over at FetLife.
I will probably throw one up at AltParty too.
Do please RSVP to any and all when you log in as we're trying to determine whether or not pre-sale tickets will be helpful - not that the price would be lowered but so that people would be guaranteed entry just in case that many people want to come.

In case you missed the previous post, here's the info as of today:

This is it!

I figure 40 is a nice big number so I decided I will celebrate it in my old & constant home city of San Francisco with a bunch of local friends at the bay area's longest running fetish club: bondage_a_go_go !

First of all, the line up features a selection of performers often found on stages around the world, but rarely at home here in the Bay Area. But now you can have us all on a single night (and for the same normal door price BAGG has every week!).

Performances will be from:
Kumi (myself) & fd_midori  - doing a bondage show we've only done in London at Torture Garden so far, but altered especially for this evening.

vienna_la_rouge  - For my St Patrick's Day event, she said she'd bust out her special Absinthe burlesque performance!

Samar Soriano (flesh suspension) - She's got some kind of aerial dance planned but it's a surprise, she tells me!

Reverend B. Dangerous - Things might get a little bloody here! If you didn't get enough of the skin poking from Samar, the Rev should satisfy!

There are a couple more things lined up but must be confirmed - as if you needed more! Hah!
Paul Nathan (www.firemagic.com) will also be on hand to M.C. as long as he isn't shipped off to Europe yet!

Of course, there will be cake, as well as giveaways and prizes from our sponsors.

(Sorry, but little black bootie shorts & bras don't actually make the cut).

When: March 17, 2010
Where: Glas Kat SupperClub - 540 4th Street, San Francisco.
Hours: 20h00 til 0230
How much: $10 - that's right. it's the normal weekly door price. If you seriously enjoy the shows, sure, we'll accept donations to help to help alleviate my costs in bringing in these acts. But otherwise, there will be no discounts offered at the door.

More details (sponsors, shows, pre-sale tix, etc) TBA!

After Lyon, instead of staying on the continent, i flew back to London in time for the London Fetish Weekend.
First thing I did was visit Holloway Road to see Atsuko Kudo, then spent some time at Fettered Pleasures. Ended up meeting up with Samppa and Aneta for sushi at Bento in Camden. Then back to the house.

I think I became slightly addicted to the xbox and Guitar Hero. not good!

I was planning on getting to TortureGarden a little later but forgot about the fact that i'd need to do the rehearsal for the fashion show thingy.
Ended up getting there a touch before 19h00 where me and helene_atsuko got to see the HW Design outfits for the first time. They ended up looking like pieces from Flash Gordon/Superman - but think more along the lines of the evil characters! (Ming or Ursa from Krypton!)
The latex featured was the transparent but paint patterned sheeting with smokey black trans and black accent with a little bit of trans.

I wanted to head back to the house but realized that would just be a waste of time so I stuck around the club and got some food nearby.

The bondage show with Amrita was a smaller version of our Lyon performance - must less rehearsed and I planned on exerting less energy but during the show I kind of changed my mind and ended up becoming completely inverted for a while. Owie on my shoulders!
And AUA on my back too after Amrita sat on me.
Of course, I only realized how much it hurt the next day!


After the show, I put the latex back into the box and threw on my latex track suit n flip flops and ran to the bar. Ended up dancing around and having a blast. I didn't get home until sometime near 05h30. I even left after the TG office crew so I didn't get paid out for my show even! lol!

The next day I felt the pain, but ended up meeting up with zuckerrotermond and Sacha, Eden and Heiko, and hyperion_101 for dinner in Shoreditch. ynl and his work buddy came too. After eating we stumbled over to Hoxton for some drinks before stumbling home.

The following day, I packed up my things and headed for the airport for my trip to Edinburgh!
