Wicked Weekend’s - “Flash & Fetish” - LGBTQIA+ and friends welcomed
“FLASH & FETISH” is a new take on BDSM play parties. Not only will attendees be able to enjoy the space however they like but we have “Photo Booths” set up throughout the venue where attendees can have our “House Photographer” capture images of your play for you to take home with you. Participation in these “Photo Booths” is 100% optional and there will be plenty of off camera space available for attendees to enjoy.
Photo booth participants and photographers should negotiate as they see fit to create a scene and images that match the collective vision. Individuals, couples and small groups are welcome to use these spaces for rope play, BDSM play, boudoir, solo play or “however you see fit”.
Please Note: 1) Photo areas will be clearly marked and set up in a way that no other attendees can accidentally be in the background. 2) ALL cell phones and SD cards will be review by staff before leaving the party to ensure no photos were taken without consent.
Joining us special this weekend will be Knot_head & Bodacious_Minx.
Edge players are encouraged to check in with DMs or owners before Needle Play, Fire Play, or other Edgy scenes begin.
Exhibitionists and Voyeurs are welcome. Come enjoy this wickedly kinky evening with us.
Dress to impress- Kink and fetish wear are great and “however you are comfortable” is perfectly fine.
