I arrived past midnight at the official pre-party, hold at the Kit Kat Club in Schoeneberg district. The venue was a typical techno club with a twist.
Colorful fluorescent decorations, large stage, huge dance floor, coffee lounge/chill out area. The only difference to regular techno clubs was a large play area and a huge number of naked people. There was performances on stage during the night, all of them with a domination theme. The place was pretty full, but not over crowed.
I only knew a few people there some Danish people, Belgium Marc. So I really did not enjoy myself very much. The ventilation was lousy, so my eyes was hurting from all the smoke. I left the venue a little past three in the morning and took a taxi to my hotel.
I woke up around noon very tired and had a little hangover. When out to get some breakfast and got online and did the previous post. A few hours later I went to the German Fetish Fair together with Miss Fuzzy Bunny and Ken of N.P.N.G., casually dressed in black latex jeans and “3xL” t-shirt.
This year the fair were twice as big, moved to a new location – quite a change from last years fair. The location were the Columbiahalle near the Berlin Templehof Airport. The place where filled up with various exhibitors and had a big stage for fashion shows and other performances. There was everything there, sex furniture, whips, toys, fetish movies and all kinds of fetish fashion.
Fierce Couture only brought a little latex to Berlin, but it were enough to give the visitors a taste of the cool designs and the good quality of their stuff. Libidex had their regular latex clothing as well as their raw leather look latex line. Bodycult had load of great stuff and had some exciting new latex dresses made from latex with beautiful embossed patterns.
Savage Wear had a nice rack of various latex designs, some classical, others more wild and colorful. Blackstyle had a much greater booth this time, but still I would really had liked to see more of their stuff. The Fetishuniverse booth were loaded with latex, pvc and other pervy items. They did a fashion show (will add a gallery later) wile I were there, and I must say that some of their latex was really cool. Torture Garden Clothing and Bondinage, Marquis and others were also at the fair, but I did not notice anything really new at their booths.
You can see a full exhibitors list here.
The new location was very boring and not as stylish and light as the one used for last years fair. Hardly anyone found their way to the art zone on the second floor and the food selection and lounge areas could had been much better. Sadly there as hardly any visitors there when we arrived a little past three o’clock. I’ll go back tomorrow and hope that more people will show up.
So here I am in the beautiful city of Berlin. The journey here went without major problems, except that one of my handles on my suitcase broke off when I ran up some the stairs to catch a train. I was so thankful that the case did not break open and send a cascade of latex clothing out over the station. That would have been quite a scene!
Arrived at my hotel, the holiday Inn, just past midnight. I dropped my things and when directly to Miss Fuzzy Bunny and Ken’s room. Minutes later we where in a taxi on out way to “Grand Hotel”, a bar close by where Kumi told us, that she and some friends were hanging out.
We arrived at the bar, ordered some beers and joined Kumi and the gang. Darenzia and Bitzar was there, looking beautiful as ever. Also meet Dee Dee Luxe and Tressa Williams of Fierce Couture.
Everybody seemed pretty tired and the crowd broke up after a few hours. We took a taxi back to the hotel and had a few drinks and shot some photos of Miss FB in latex. Got to bed at 4:30.
Today I’m going to the Fetish Expo. Hope to make an update tonight, hopefully with some nice latex pictures.
The time has finally arrived for me to pack my latex gear and go to Berlin! I’ll be reporting from the German Fetish Ball the whole weekend. With a little luck you can look forward to daily updates with hot info on what is happening here and loads of nice photos of funky people in latex clothing!
I has really been looking forward to this, since I had such a great time last year. I look forward to meet loads of new and old friends during the whole weekend.
Friday is the Expo and the pre-party. Saturday, more Expo and dinner and play parties. Sunday Crazy Rubber Friends has arranged a fetish brunch just like one last year, and finally the Ball at club Matrix!
Ups! Time to go… Hope to see you in Berlin!
