The place to be on Memorial Day weekend 2006 was definitely Ft. Lauderdale, Florida! This year we were honored to be invited to cover the Fetish Factory's 11th anniversary weekend celebration, sponsored by FetishMovies.com, HotMovies fetish site. The event was virtually overflowing with the hottest names in the fetish world. World-renowned fetish models and burlesque performers attending included Rubberella (a.k.a. Mistress Jean), The Porcelain TwinZ, Empress Stah, Aprella, Rebecca's Rubber Room, Rubberdoll, C Allen Falkner, and a fashion show by Vex Fashion. This exclusive event was covered by a handful of some of the most renowned fetish photographers from around the world, and we were fortunate to be included.

Three nights of parties (and after parties) lasted till dawn, and were attended by over 2500 perverts just like us! Coming from Philadelphia, we were unsure what the Ft. Lauderdale fetish scene was going to be like, but Glenn and Donna at Fetish Factory and everyone else made us feel like family from the moment we arrived. If you've never been to a fetish event, the Fetish Factory hosts parties throughout the year, and these are some of the wildest ones in the country. Be warned though, if you're planning to attend, a strict dress code is required and enforced at the door. If you need to spruce up your latex or leather wardrobe, the Fetish Factory store has the latest in fetish, goth, and glam fashion, or you can stay at home and shop online at The Fetish Factory.

Friday was the beginning of a debaucherous weekend at the "Beat & Greet Fetish Party" at Club Boca, and things were just warming up. The first night's party was a more intimate gathering that gave me a prelude for what was to come. It was here that I had my first glimpse of the stunning Porcelain TwinZ. These two sirens are making quite a name for themselves in the fetish/burlesque world. It wasn't until the second night that I was able to see their performance, but let me tell you it was like nothing I had seen before. Their blend of burlesque, and hardcore lesbianistic, perversion was enough to raise the blood pressure of every man and woman in the room. If you see that the TwinZ are coming to your town, make it a priority to see them for yourself. You will not be disappointed. (There are plenty of photos in the gallery.) In addition to the performances by Aprella, Rebecca and Rubberella, there were sexy girls pole dancing and lots of hot, sweaty bodies shaking and grinding on the dance floor.

Saturday night was the main event hosted at Club Cinema in Ft. Lauderdale. It was emceed by the world-famous fetish model and fetish film superstar Rubberella. Apparently Rubberella was a naughty girl the night before; her voice was little more than a squeak! She was almost totally hoarse, but she managed to look gorgeous and introduce a few acts. Throughout the night, the center stage held performances by some of the most creative and innovative performers. The incomparable Empress Stah dazzled us with her performances. She actually pierced her own forehead with needles and molested a male blow-up doll on stage! Later that night she demonstrated her Cirque du Soleil-inspired acrobatic skills while suspended high above the crowd...and her hat somehow stayed atop her head throughout, even though she was upside-down throughout her time on stage! Also performing at the Saturday night gala were the red-hot Porcelain TwinZ. Their sexually-charged and highly-choreographed performance made the entire audience stop in their tracks and take notice. Some extremely lucky (and surprised) boys and girls even became part of their show...being dragged up onto the stage for a little two-on-one action. Sandwiched in between the performances was a sizzling fashion show by Vex. This exciting show was not the typical pretentious runway fashion event. A couple was swing dancing while wearing latex fashions by Vex. Then each model came out clad in a lovely Vex creation and then moved stage left. When the next model strutted across the stage, she (or he) would playfully push the previous model to the back of the stage. The fashions were colorful and innovative and very much not the stereotypical black latex catsuit. The final performance of the evening featured the breathtaking Aprella wearing a white wedding gown and male fetish model Perish in a priest's frock. We saw fake blood, balloons, shaving cream, and a wheelchair during this unique performance which ended with the performers throwing beach balls and bags filled with candy and communion wafers to the eager audience.

With an event hosted by the Fetish Factory, one would expect that the fashions would be amazing. We were certainly not disappointed! Whatever your fetish, I guarantee that it was represented that evening. There were lingerie-wearing submissives on leashes, hot Dominatrices in head-to-toe leather, military-inspired uniforms, naughty doctors and nurses, chainmail, corsets, pouffy skirts, high heels and boots, the shiniest latex I've ever seen, extravagant wigs, and even a few brave souls running around wearing merely a g-string and electrical tape covering their nipples. Everyone was there to show off their favorite fashions and to have a good time.

Sunday night was the Extreme Players Party. According to the official Fetish Weekend site, this party is an "anything goes party and is not for the faint of heart,” and that is exactly how I would describe it. Rubberella performed a seductive stage show, wearing transparent latex. Rubberdoll and Rebecca, in latex gas masks and cat suits, shocked the crowd with their overt sexuality combined with their love of latex. The most mind-bending performance of the evening was given by C Allen Falkner. He was suspended from an iron frame with approximately 12 large flesh hooks piercing his skin. The suspension itself would have been enough to take our breath away, but this was not good enough for him. Not only did he set himself in motion, but Allen forcefully cut the ropes from the hooks, leaving himself with hanging from only one hook in his back! The shocked but appreciative crowd howled as he rubbed his blood over his torso and his face.

There is no way to describe everything we saw on one page, but we hope that by viewing our photos you'll able to get a taste of what we experienced. We hope to see everyone next year at the Fetish Factory 12th anniversary celebration.
