Arrive in London and House of Flesh

Oct 01st, 2004

A year of waiting was finally over and as well an agonizing time of questions: What to wear? Where to stay? and much more. At last: The big Skin Two Rubber Ball 2004 was about to happen And I was so curious, because once again loads of things were planned and everything was going to become really exciting!

Thursday, September 30th - Arrival in London

Along with René and Alexa we flew to London and arrived late that night. Being stressed from the previous days and the flight we were tired but still there was this unbelievable anticipation of the coming parties and London itself. At our hotel in Paddington we checked in and left right away to head for a typical London Pub. Traditional and british english. Very traditional was especially the closing hour, which made us ordering another beer and cider as precaution. In this pub "closing hour" unfortunately didn't mean they stop serving but the pub was meant to close! So we finished a couple beer and cider glasses within the few remaining minutes (nothing should be wasted! ) and left the pub sort of happy. The following meal at a local indian restaurant became very amusing that way - the food was taaasty! This night ended comfortable and funny and we were looking forward to the shopping tour in Camden the next morning.

Friday, October 1st - Shopping Tour in Camden

After a nice english breakfast we started for Camden. Hmm ... shopping was the motto or at least standing totally amazed and with wide open eyes in front of all these awesome shoe and cloth shops. Faszinating what great shops there are! ***BILDL01 After a first look around comparing prizes and offers the further search became a lot easier soon. With calculating eyes we were now looking for Alexas beloved New Rocks. ***BILDR02 The hours passed by with bargaining, stolling, visiting various fetish and latex stores until our feet started to call for some rest. At the end of our extensive tour, which lasted 5 hours at least, we walked into Kumi by pure chance. Totally relaxed she was standing with Midori in a shop, holding a coffee in her hand and being unbelievable funny like always. London is a small world as well, don' you think??

Late that afternoon or better to say in the early evening we headed for our hotel by bus. The whole way I already thought about what to wear that night. By the way, when you're in London one day, jump at the chance, take the bus and take a seat in the upper front row. What a great view of London. Actually it's a real great sight-seeing tour.

Friday, October 1st - The night - Hours of flesh

Back at the hotel we had to make all the neccessary preparations for the "House of flesh". Clear and brief: styling and clothing. The second point was solved quite fast since I already had an idea of what to wear, which is pretty good for me. Usually I see myself facing a huge pile of latex and being not able to decide what to pick! ***BILDL03 At least for that night my red catsuit was choosen! Along with a black string and short gloves. Woho!!! I looked anything but nice now! Adepts and insiders surely have in mind the Red devil Session and they shall be proven correct! Great!

Basically I was ready. Slipping into our shoes and coats and appearing to be dressed normaly we passed the doorman and went to the subway! After we arrived at the party we met Charlotte right away, the organization talent of Torture Garden. We talked about the performance at the Rubber Ball, where I was going to walk for Torture Garden... a real lovely and nice person! Without rush we brought our cloths to the cloakroom and ourself to high gloss. And how amazing the red catsuit was shining that night! It fit perfectly. Very formfitting! The necessary party mood was definitely given, so why should we wait any longer? With the right momentum we made it to go 10 impressive meters upstairs, until we run into David from Torture Garden and Darenzia. You can talk about so many things, you know?

***BILDR04 By and by the party rooms got filled more and more, the music became faster and louder and the right beats soon made the guests dance. A little later it wasn't crowded anymore, it was crowded out. Small latex groups standing everywhere, being lost in conversations, dancing, testing chairs with small electro finesses - yes, the party was full in progress. I marveled at the outfits of many guests and just like last year there was no lack of creativity and ideas! In the course of the night we also met Rhae Mare, who organized a really big photo shooting with many models and photographers and invited us as well, and his best friend, a really cute person with a black and skin-tight catsuit, a over-sweet face with a well fitting nose percing - a real eye-catcher indeed! Anyway, we had lots of fun together and I was looking forward to the shooting the next day. Unfortunately bad and evil supernatural powers were about to anticipage it...

At about 3 a.m. we left "House of flesh" to catch a nightbus and we were so happy to be back in London finally. Yes, till last year you were looking for parties like this in Germany all in vain.
