If Carlsberg ran fetish nights...agentinfinityApril 11 2006, 10:21:59 UTC
Just out of interest, what would you want from a fetish night?
Me n Jamie were having this conversation yesterday, and we've come to the conclusion that we enjoyed going to the whoopie club burlesque night more than any fetish night we went to because the dressing up was better. People can be so dismissive at fetish nights if your fetish doesn't fit into their world view (i.e. cheesy 80s leather/pvc/goth). It would be better if they themed them, than everyone would know where they stood.

My problem isn't with fetish nights per-se, just that I don't like the ones that are trying to "get the fetish scene to a dance night and charge over the odds". If I want an sm club - I'll go to an sm club. If I want to spend the night dancing then I go to a music-oriented club.
Nights like Scarlet tend to have a higher door charge and attempt to appeal to all audiences. In most cases they fail and end up as some bastard child of many musical genres, with a poorly used playroom surrounded by voyeurs.
Burlesque clubs are fun - as you say a chance to dress up and hear/see something different. DR in Birmingham can be quite "am-dram" but has a good mix of retro music styles that is nice for a change.

I'm guessing that's why I preferred this Scarlet's to the first one we went to. The theme leant itself more to 'dressing up' in a particular style than mere fetish. Let's face it, one person's fetish is someone else's nightmare (e.g. the medical show with scalpels from the first night).
I do, however, really resent the extreme overpricing - not only for the entry fee, but for the drinks once in there. Eddie's may be a bit of a dive, but at least I don't feel ripped off there.
If that's it for DR it looks like I'll never actually make it to one after all, which is a shame because I'd have liked to try it, if only once. :o(

Does that make any sense?

The main thing that pissed me off was the bad song choice, they needed more of the good old stuff in there. And yeh, the lack of enthusiasm.
Think the thing that saved it for me though was being in the crowd near the front, that made it decent :D
