A new dimension to erotic play with Whipcraft

Unique, handcrafted and made from the most exclusive materials, Whipcraft has made quite an impact on the fetish scene since it first introduced its whips four years ago. This year was no exception, when the new collection was presented at the annual Fetish Fashion Party 2007 in Copenhagen.

“I had this dream for many years – to combine fetish and art and to take it to a higher level. When so many people go to such great lengths in expressing themselves sexually, why shouldn’t they have tools that match their efforts?” asks Whipcraft’s artist Troels Jespersen.

“The new collection shows that there are no limits to how far you can go in the quest for a merger between, fetish, art and craftsmanship. To make a Whipcraft is never just a question of mastering the tools. It’s about giving life to the dreams and ideas that I have. Of course I always start out with a concrete idea, but very often things change during the process until the final idea is there” says Troels. Read more

I get to constantly conceptualize new visions and bring them to fruition. I am the type of person who is constantly changing and so do my designs. I see my clothing line as a reflection and extension of myself.”

An Evening With The Wet Spots in London, England – 19th December

Canadian bisexual, polyamorous husband-and-wife musical comedy duo The Wet Spots bring their critically acclaimed show to the Royal Vauxhall Tavern after a smashing run at the Sydney Opera House. Prepare for a lively affair, featuring songs, monologue, sing-a-longs and spankings. The Wet Spots’ mixture of lyrical wit and lusty subject matter reclaims the original meaning of adult entertainment.

The Sydney Morning Herald calls them “Burt Bacharach on Amyl Nitrate” and the Vancouver Sun suggests “To call the show burlesque would be too mild but the seamless harmonizing and sophisticated showmanship of this pair keep it from being merely raunchy”. Read more

Gracing No Man’s Land By Annabel Penrose

Recorded over 10 years through personal interviews, confidential writings, letters and audio tapes, it is a delight to read Annabel Penrose’s educative and fascinating compilation of fantasies from the professional and private global S&M scenes. This important book is an explorative masterpiece of sexual politics and human identity, presenting an intellectual and sympathetic insight into the lawful realm of Women’s (and Men’s) deepest, and most imaginative secret hiding places.

“A pioneering, a thrilling, and yes, a sisterly book, that is imbued with so much forbidden imagination and diverse individual expression, it will no doubt challenge freedom of speech, push staid limits and boundaries, and bravely explore what may be for some at least, the intimidating prospect of a female fantasy world.” Dr Lauren Wilkinson, from her Foreword Read more
