Loving Dominant by John and Libby Warren

February 28, 2011 by · Comments Off 

John and Libby are a couple that knows just how colourful the BDSM scene is, with its wide range of things to choose from depending on you and your partner’s tastes, cleverly likening it to a very liberal Chinese Restaurant. “You can take as many, or as few, items as you want from Column A, B, and so on.”

Because it seems that, over the years, media and society have managed to confuse BDSM with cruelty and undesired maltreatment, John and Libby seek to re-teach the population with this sexual self-help tour de force. I

t is the perfect beginner’s guide and manual to the how-to’s of forming and establishing a loving, safe and consensual DS relationship, with the detailed down-lows on everything from basic bondage ties, finding toys in the vanilla world, performing successful fantasy scenes, to how to win over your other vanilla half, filming your kinky escapades, establishing contracts of submission, and precautions and first aid for your play.

Its emphasis isn’t only on getting started in the physical sense, but also touches on the psychological aspects of your play and ‘the scene’; an aspect often ignored in other books, but which is probably the most important. They take it very seriously, and sometimes treat BDSM much like a course on the curriculum, going as far as to include workbook-like sections with diagrammed kinky D.I.Y. projects to try, not to mention a wealth of suggested reading and resources specific to each topic as you go along. It’s ceaselessly knowledgeable and no doubt retains its status, through each new and updated edition, as the curious and responsible couple’s bedside companion.

Miss Alternative UK 2011 London, May 14th

February 12, 2011 by · 1 Comment 

On May 14th London’s Scala nightclub will play host to 24 pretty unconventional pin-ups and beauties with bite, as they compete to claim the title of ‘Miss Alternative UK 2011’. Judged by a panel of alt. celebrities, punctuated by burlesque, twisted cabaret and sideshow-style performances, and followed by an all-night afterparty, the live final of this fresh new modeling competition is set to be a celebration of subcultural style… and one hell of a night out!

Open to any female UK resident over 18, who can confidently say she has the look, lifestyle and attitude to represent the nation’s alternative scene, the inaugural Miss Alternative UK has attracted entrants from across the country. Three months of online public voting, closing on April 14th, will decide which of the tattooed, pierced, mohawked, dreadlocked, leather & latex clad hopefuls take part in the live finals a month later. On the night, the 24 finalists will be put through their paces onstage in four competitions, including a catwalk show, talent contest and interview.

Charged with the task of eliminating entrants at each hurdle is an alt. all-star judging panel, comprised of internationally published fetish and fashion model Masuimi Max, Steven Severin of goth / punk pioneers ‘Siouxsie and the Banshees’, body mod guru and extreme performer Samppa von Cyborg and Die So Fluid‘s latex-clad front woman Grog. Whilst the judges deliberate after each round, shows from The McCarricks, Lydia Darling, Sophia Landi, Transmutant and British Heart will ensure the 1,000 capacity Scala is kept entertained and in suspense until the overall winner is crowned at midnight.

In addition to her title for the next 12 months, ‘Miss Alternative UK 2011’ will receive a prize package including magazine cover and calendar photo shoots, VIP club entry for one year and a custom couture outfit – all courtesy of event sponsors Handjobs Media, Emerald Angel, Devolution Magazine, Alt Fashion magazine, Prong Jewellery, Club Rub, PhotosWithAttitude, Marcus T and Club AntiChrist.

Following the crowning, revellers and runners-up are invited to stay and party in the company of an eclectic bill of DJs and a host of weird and wonderful walkabout acts, for Miss Alternative UK’s marathon after party (“The Alternative Ball”). Celebrations kick off immediately after the winner is crowned with a set from a special guest band (to be announced March 6th – stay tuned), and run right through to 6am!

Oh No, It’s FetishMan!

February 10, 2011 by · 1 Comment 

Fetishman is a humorous comic about the adventures of a rubber-clad hero and the wide world of alternative sexual activities. Best described as a “disturbing cocktail of cute and kinky,” the comics caper giddily around a wide range of themes, touching on, among other things, BDSM, nuns, furries, the extreme porn law, butt plugs, Victorians, sci-fi, the colour brown, heroes, villains and for some reason tea.

Since creating the first issue in 2004 Geof has also been privileged to exhibit work at Coffee, Cake and Kink and the Sh! Women’s Erotic Emporium, and the Fetishman comics are now a regular feature in Foreplay magazine.

The latest Fetishman Issue # 12 “Old Mother Fetishman’s Fairly Filthy Tales of Folk and Fairies” is currently available from www.fetishman.co.uk as well as at selected comic shops, and occasionally also from the Fetishman stall at various UK fetish fairs, comic conventions, goth weekends and other events. Issue #13 is due out May 2011.
