Upcoming: Providence FFF

December 31st, 2007

NELA’s Fetish Fair Fleamarket is January 11-13th, in Providence, RI.

Since I used to live in Boston, I try to make it back up for the Fetish Fair Fleamarket. It’s a pleasant weekend if you live in the area. Someday they will have public play instead of just vending and classes, and then I’ll really be able to recommend it.

I just got these photos from last year’s fashion show. I look forward to the chance to walk again this year, with better shoes, better hair and better vision (I couldn’t wear my contacts at the time). I’d never been on a catwalk before so of course they put me up first, and of course I tripped on a wire!

Me on the catwalk.

Me still upright. You know, if you stare at the floor hard enough, it stays away from your face?

Not falling down.

Me in Babylove Latex. A rare sighting of the Calico with glasses.

Escape!

Come, dance, and spend the weekend — I’ll be there in any case.

I’ll also be making an appearance at Arisia, January 18-21st.

    This is a vicious vicious falsehood. I have stared quite strongly at the floor and still been hit in the face by it.

    Many times.

    *sigh*

    I really do have to get on with making the “Gravity is my abusive boyfriend” t-shirts.

    (Oh, and that really is a beautiful corset)

    Rona - Yes, it’s false, but I have to cling to some hope.

    Dov - What kind of performing?

    The one time I have ever been in a fashion show I was graced with a leash held by a very strong and very sweet gay leatherman, so I was thankfully relatively safe from the being hit by the floor in the face fear. Afterwards, I vowed never to make fun of models who walk on the runway again; it’s a lot harder than it looks, especially when blinded by big bright lights. On the other hand, it explained why so few of them are ever smiling.

    Ah I was invited by a friend of mine but can’t make since it falls on the same weekend I’ll be moving.

    Double damn.

    The glasses I’m sure will be missed this year.

    I LOVE the specs! I usually plump for contacts, but they really suit you.

    wish me luck!

    I sadly think it is far too late for me to get to the Flea. Not that I have any money anyway. Let alone a ride or a hotel room (and I am sure they are all booked up).

    But you’re going, Andrea is going, Dove might display rope (which I want to pick his brain about), other people I like are going…

    If I don’t make it, have a lovely time.

    You should wear glasses more often. ^_^
