Here's the report I wrote about this year's German Fetish Ball on Eros Zine--it just went live today! If you want a more in-depth description of what else I did in Berlin, look back at some of my older blabber entries. I'd like to thank Martin Pelzer for the photos that accompany my article and Eros Zine for not putting pics of me in it this time (I think it's SOOOO cheesy when there's pics of yourself in an article you've written, but that's just me!!!!).
Now, I PROMISE I'll finish my NYC Fetish Marathon report this week as well so you guys can read about it here!

Thursday, June 2nd: The Black and Blue Ball
I arrived at Webster Hall around 6PM--there weren't too many people around but I ran into a few people immediately--Aprella & David, Storm & Veritee Hill (who's show I was in).
Upon arriving at the venue, it was BLISTERING hot, which would become a theme for the whole party. It was so hot I apparently am an ass and didn't recognize a few people I had met before--bad me!! Blah! We sat around for a bit while others began to trickle in, out of town friends Isobel Marion & Genesha, Apnea, Angela Ryan, Pia, Perish, Feisty Diva & Tim & Laura from Vex (the second show I was in)--Laura also brought me my new red and black polka dot custom outfit!
After a bit of hanging out, Veritee's team started on my hair and makeup -- the theme was 1920/30's jazz age (my favorite era) so they Erte'd me up! We were also wearing feather headpieces by ISanti Azul--mine was a beautiful peacock number that came down a bit over my face and outlined my right eye. Sometime during my makeup application, Nicholas showed up (he was in the Vex show) and after hair/makeup and run through--me, him and Angela took off to Cosmic Cantina for some Mexican food since we had plenty of time before the shows. HAHA Angela ordered nachos and they just gave her a plate of chips and unmelted cheese!!! WTF!!! LOL!
After food, we headed back to the venue, where the party had already started. I attempted to get into my new dress, but it was just soooo crowded and hot backstage I gave up and just waited to do the first show, which went SO well. Veritee's clothing is just that amazing, I felt quite regal in that gown and corset with peacock feather accents. I'll have to borrow it for a proper shooting! The show was set to live jazz music and was the classiest show I've ever been in! I can't wait to see pics from it! EVERYONE looked so gorgeous!!!!
Immediately after that show, a bunch of us had to get undressed and go over to the opposite side of the stage to get ready for the Vex show. I entertained the thought of putting my dress and pasties on and wandering around the event, but decided to head out and get a drink in my jeans-HA! A drink, quick stroll around -- thought about dancing for a bit, but the woman on stage just kept talking....and talking....and talking...it was ridiculous!!! We gave up and headed back to get ready for the show.
Rush, rush, rush--we didn't have a proper rehearsal earlier so the show was a bit of a mess, but I don't think that was evident to the audience or anyone who didn't know how the show was supposed to go. They cued the lights and music too early and cut out one of the songs so we ran out of music during the mini performance me, Storm and a few others were doing with Persephone, so when the music ran out, we had to improvise!! (The DJ could have helped us out and played more music, but no...HA!) We all looked great so that's all that matters!
After the show I finally managed to get into my dress, explore and hang out for a bit. I have to admit it was pretty boring and the heat made it hard to relax and have fun, which was disappointing since last year's ball was so excellent! I think it's more the venue's fault than the Ball's. Still, I managed to have fun, but no one really stayed too long after the shows, and Nicholas had to work the following morning, so we headed out around 3AM. I'd like to thank Carrie and Leda for involving me in the event. Next year, different venue and AC, please!!! I guess I'm just biased about Webster Hall, that place just has some sort of bad energy, which is a shame since it's a beautiful venue! Spirit, last year's venue was just SO great! I also was backstage almost the entire party, so I wasn't really able to get much of a feel for it--it sucks when that happens! At least I had good friends back there with me!

Sunday, May 15th
The day of the main event!!! Since I was a BAD girl and stayed up too late the night before and I got lost on the way -- I was about an hour late for my 11AM rehearsal for the Savage Wear show. So me and Nicholas headed to the venue on the S Bahn and arrived around 12. Nicholas also had to stick around for the Vex rehearsal, since he was in that show. It's nice to be able to travel and model together!
After rehearsal, we were tired and hungry so we took the S Bahn back to where we were staying, but it seems I drank too much water at rehearsal and had to pee sooo badly, I couldn't hold it for the entire walk back to the apartment, so I crawled into some bushes to do my business discreetly--only--to my horror, Nicholas was like "UM...you're hitting your pantleg!!!" So, yeah I'm an asshole who peed all over my pant leg trying to be slick--thank god home wasn't far away!!! I was MORTIFIED, but hey, you gotta laugh at yourself! LOL!!!!
So, after I got back and changed my pants (lol), we got some excellent pizza from a little place near the U Bahn station. It was sooo good--it sucks we didn't discover it until the last day! Then a quick nap and we headed back to the venue so I could get my makeup done and prepare for the show.
Everyone was there-- it was such a great night! The Savage Wear show went great and I still can't believe they trusted me and Audra with fire during it!!! I'm amazed I didn't light my hair on fire! Anyway, I have a short video of the show and some pics I'll post soon! Alex from Savage is so sweet and her clothing is amazing, every piece in the show was so unique!
The highlight of the evening for me though was dancing my ass off in the backroom to Allen TG and Tiziano's DJing--so much fun but so hot!!! We had to stop dancing we were soaking wet back there!
We were pretty exhausted from the whole week (everyone was), so no after party this time, instead we headed back to the apartment and hung out with Kumi & her man and the Ritual Rome gang. The next afternoon, we headed to the airport and started our trek home!
Thanks so much to Rene & Temkin for such a great event and Martin & Anna for letting us stay!
Monday, May 16th
Me and Nicholas had to get to the airport early to change our flight (we decided to skip Austria and leave 3 days earlier from Berlin). We were soooo exhausted! It was funny though because on the way to London we ran into some of our British friends equally as hung over!!!! When we got to Heathrow, we did a bit of shopping since we had a 3 hour layover. We were flying British Air and they just kept bringing us sparkling wine -- before we knew it we were WRECKED and laughing hysterically at Meet the Fockers (I don't have any idea if it was actually funny or if we were just drunk!). Thank god the flight was empty. At one point we both snuck into the bathroom.....
ANYWAY, at one point we passed out and when I woke uo to get off the flight my one shoe was broken in HALF!!!! How the hell I did that on a plane I have no idea. It wasn't just the heel that broke off--the WHOLE SHOE broke in half!!! HAHA when I got through customs, I opened my bag and just got out a new pair!

Saturday, May 14th
The second day of the Expo was much busier and I wore my new Vex burlesque outfit, which was a huge hit! Ran into fellow Americans Aprella, Apnea & Philip -- I was wondering where they'd been since I hadn't seen them yet--my poor Aprella had gotten bumped off her flight and got in a day later than planned!
Apparently my outfit was popular since everybody was stopping me to take photos and I met a lot of German fans--it's so weird when people recognize me!!! Anyway, me and Tony M. wound up taking some snaps of me holding a BEAUTIFUL (and $$$!!!) handmade whip with a corseted handle that was shaped like a stiletto for the magazine. I can't remember the name of the whip company but it should be in the next issue. We were a bit taken aback at how PUSHY they whip people were though, me and T. were like "Whoa, those guys need to settle down if they want to do good business!!!" Seriously, great products but a little too overbearing and presumptuous for my taste--kinda like used car salesmen!!!!! I'm SURE T. will have something witty to say about them!
I also did a quick little shoot with Ronny Thiele as well, and I've seen one shot and it's great--we'll have to do a proper shoot sometime!
Got to see Sway & Norman again and a lot more old friends from last year. Right after the Expo, we had a rehearsal for the Savage Wear show the following night.
It was raining really hard after the expo closed and was getting to be around 9 and we were all STARVING, so me, Nicholas, Aprella, Apnea and Philip eventually managed to hail a cab and head over to the neighborhood near their hotel to get some food (with 4 vegetarians, it's kinda difficult!). We finally found a Chinese restaurant and CHOWED down! After dinner, everyone was tired except me and Nicholas so we headed back to our place to get ready to go to the party at the White Club in Berlin (part of the German Fetish Ball)--by then it was almost midnight.
First, the club was REALLY far away and it's not really even a club! It's a bit more like a private residence set up for kinky parties, S&M orgies and videos, so at first we had NO IDEA what to expect. There was no dancefloor, which confused a lot of people, expecting a dance night. Things at first were starting to look bleak on the top floor, but we soon learned that everyone was downstairs. Whew!!! It would have sucked to take a 30 Euro cab to a party that none of our friends were at!!! We all just drank and talked the night away!!! Later we shared a cab with Tony and Veronica and got home at 5AM!!!

Friday, May 13th
We didn't do too much, sometime late me, Nicholas, Kumi & her man headed over to the Expo for a little bit--it wasn't too crowded the first day so it was easy to find and talk to friends I hadn't seen yet and make new ones--Tressa from Fierce Couture, Tony M and everyone from Skin Two, Sandra from Marquis (and I got to see my name on the huge blown-up cover of the new mag!), Alex & the Savage Wear Gang, Dee Dee Luxe, 3xl, Louis from AMF, Rachael Huntington & Polo, and sooo many others--way too many to list!
As the event started to wind down, me and Nicholas headed over to East Berlin for To.mTo's corset party and dinner--where Tonia gave me the lovliest dark blue and white polkadot underbust corset and thong as a present for me working at her booth at the Skin Two Expo last year! I tried it on and it fit PERFECTLY. We decided to stay a bit for dinner and drinks and wound up staying until way past midnight, since more friends from around the world kept popping up out of nowhere! We unfortunately missed going to the Kit Kat Klub (dammit, this happens EVERYTIME we're in Berlin), due to a misunderstanding and some BAD planning, but oh well--still a fun night despite a lil' wee bit o' drama. At least it got resolved!

Wednesday, May 11th
Woke up to a rainy, BLAH day in Berlin. Had to call off my shoot with Martin Pelzer since it was rainy and ugly and we had been planning to shoot outside. Instead we (me & Nicholas) opted to hang out a bit and wander around town, in the icky rain--blah!
Later that evening a bunch of us went out to dinner at a great restaurant called Miro (well normally good, but the salads there don't resemble any thing that passes as a salad here!!!! GREASY!!!) with a bunch of people--Kumi, Martin & Anna, FetishDiva Midori, Steph & Sophie from Lustwandel, Andreas Neubauer--tons of people I'm too lazy to list & link!!!! It was a nice, chill evening--except I was so tired from jetlag, I nearly fell asleep in my soup!!!
Thursday, May 12th
Me & Kumi got up and ready for our shoot with French photographer Eric Martin--we were shooting that day at the awesome Propeller Island hotel. We were all starving before the shoot so we found a pub-type place to eat before. I'm so glad I like tomato soup since that's the only thing I can eat in Germany and be sure what I'm getting!! I also ordered some potato-pancake things but they were so greasy and came coated in a thick cream sauce I had one bite and felt like I wouldn't have to eat for a week!!!!! So, you could say I lost weight in Berlin because there's nothing that I like to eat there!!!! LOL!!!
We had a really productive shoot after and then we all headed over to the Expo to help out getting images hung in the gallery.
Later that evening we all headed back to Miro for a big group dinner get-together--in attendance there were SOOO many people--and it was nice to see everyone with their significant others--Dee Dee Luxe, Tressa from Fierce Couture, Tonia from To.mTo, Oliver and Claudia from c-o-de.net, Ancilla Tilia, Rachael Huntington, Uwe from Tabu Absinth, Martin & Anna, Evil Uncle Tony & soooo many more!!!
After dinner we went around the corner to Grand Hotel, the coolest little gay bar in Berlin--there we encountered even more people-- Rasmus from 3xL & FuzzyBunny and her hubby Ken from No Pain, No Gain. Lots of drinking and cavorting there until the wee hours of morning!

Tuesday, May 10th
Me and Nicholas had to get up at the buttcrack of DAWN (4:30AM) in order to get ready and catch a cab to Heathrow for our 7AM flight. OUCH! It was hard on 2 hours of sleep! We got into Berlin around 10AM and Martin Pelzer was there waiting to pick us up. After a quick stop at Vodaphone so I could get a German SIM card, we headed over to Martin & Anna's for some coffee and catching up before we headed to his boss' extra apartment we'd be sharing with Kumi & the people who run Ritual in Italy. I took about an hour nap and got up and prepared for my shoot.
Andreas Neubauer picked me and Nicholas up and we headed to the Askanischer Hof (oddly the same hotel I shot at with Martin the year before and was one of Helmut Newton's favorite places to shoot while in Berlin). We were going to shoot outside all day, but the weather was BAD and rainy, so we did all of our shooting indoors. Andreas was great to work with--we shot for six hours makeup-free!!! We would have shot longer but I started to get exhausted from being up so early for the flight. Me and Andreas will definitely be shooting again!!!
After the shoot, we headed over to Martin & Anna's where Martin was kind enough to make us some yummy vegetarian food. Tonia from To.mTo joined us and brought some great wine, which made my already tired ass start nodding off. Everyone except me and Tonia headed back to the airport to fetch Kumi, so we caught up with each other for a bit until I fell asleep!

Saturday was one of those spring time lazy days out with friends.
Me, Nicholas and one of my best friends Jill headed out to brunch together in celebration of her belated birthday I missed when I was in Europe--we decided we wanted to find a brunch place in the West Village that had unlimited drinks for one price, lol. We quickly found a place called "Matador", that was serving unlimited glasses of Sangria and brunch for $10.50 so we were like FUCK YEAH!!!
Mine and Nicholas's huevos rancheros sucked the big one but Jill's french toast rocked soooo hard. The never-ending glasses of sangria kept me happy and before we knew it we were all 3 sheets to the wind and decided it would be best if we continued our drinking....
....so we headed off on a hunt--where we were going--no one knew!!!!
Finally we spotted the Slaughtered Lamb Pub and decided to drink more there since there were seats available outside. Here's where the fun begins.
Get the 3 of us drunk and it becomes an instant idiot fest!
So, the people watching began and boy some of the shit we saw was SOOOOO funny, most of the time was spent drooling on ourselves and poking fun at the hilarity that is NYC. I spied some dude across the street totally doing that "I'm cool" strut while apparently scoping us out. Then he TOTALLY did the "I'm gonna pretend to talk on my cellphone" thing, except he was WAY too animated and it was SO obvious he was checking his voicemail or calling the time. HAHAH
*he comes back into the story later*
Then, out of the blue some de la soul reject with what appeared to be white cum stains all over the front of his pants decides to come over and demand 2 dollars from us in order for him to "stop traffic".
Basically, we said we weren't impressed and stopping traffic wasn't really worth $2. I said something to the effect of "I could just take off my shirt and get the same effect for free".
The dude WOULD NOT GO AWAY so it became a bit of a buzzkill!
Then we finally got rid of him when he asked $1 from the guy sitting behind us. He declined.
Then, the cum stained dude gave a free show!!!! He indeed stopped traffic!!!!! And to think we could have wasted $2 on it!! So here's this dude singing and carrying on, horns honking because traffic's stopped--and these fucking jocks across the street are egging him on like assholes--when suddenly someone who lives above the Slaughtered Lamb decides to THROW water out of their 3rd story window in order to hit the bum, but instead it gets all over everyone sitting outside the restaurant (barely missing us).
This goes on for a bit more....
Then, as Jill puts it, the HOTTEST firemen ever show up to break up the scene--seriously, I think Nicholas' next GAY (HAHA) outfit is gonna be a firesuit. Seriously, I don't normally think firemen are hot but WTF????!!!! The one fireman shows up holding what appears to be a HARPOON??? LOL!!!
Anyway, the cum dude runs away and the cops show up asking everyone where the disturbance came from so Nicholas screams "the dick in the Yankee skirt" (referring to the asshole jock across the street). AHHHHHHHH....NYC!!!! I fucking love this town!!!
So after that was over--the dude who was pretending to be on his cell phone ("Todd from Kentucky") comes over and is all "can I take your picture?"
So we DEMAND $10 and get it!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA We're like thanks for paying for our appetizer (ps. don't eat the food at the Slaughtered Lamb)!!!!!
Anyway, we leave the Slaughtered Lamb soon after and I walk by a deli and I see bottles of Eros Lube all stacked up in a window with "$9.99!!!!" written above them, so being the lube whore that I am (that's a fucking kick-ass price!!!) I ran in and bought all the bottles in the window--scaring the poor dudes behind the counter as Jill looked on in abject horror.
Then, we headed to JERSEY (OMG I left Manhattan and it didn't involve an airplane) to help our friend Jerry unpack from his move, but not before stopping back at my place to (a) drop off the bag of lube and (b) get more vodka.
At one point a few hours later we headed back to Manhattan. We decided to skip Opaline and watched "The Life Aquatic", which was much odder than I expected. Since when is Owen Wilson in depressing movies--WTF??!!!!!! It had it's moments but I'm gonna have to give this one a big thumbs down. "The Royal Tenenbaums" sucked ass too, so I'm offically done with that director.
Never made it out to any of the NYC burlesque events unfortunately!!!

Friday, May 6th
Me and Nicholas took off for London that evening on a red eye flight, getting us into Heathrow around 9 or so on Saturday. Thankfully we passed out on the plane and slept most of the way!
Saturday, May 7th
We took the tube all the way down to Brixton, where our friends Derrick and Vanessa have a great house called "The Massive" where I usually wind up crashing at when I'm in the UK. BTW, they dj at an excellent club called Whacko so if you're in the UK, you should check it out!!! Anyway, we arrived there sometime around noon and hung out for a little bit until I decided I needed some rest before I had to be at rehearsals for Torture Garden's birthday party. I passed out for a couple of hours and reluctantly got up and showered. I got to rehearsal a bit late -- since everybody's ALWAYS late and dammit, it was my turn to be!!! Even being an hour late still I was there before most people! LOL! I sent Nicholas to get some food and red bulls since we were still a bit tired from the flight and hadn't eaten. I ran into a lot of people like Morrigan and her hubby and a couple of other friends I hadn't seen in a long time, so it was nice to hang out but frustrating that it took so long for rehearsals to start since I wanted to rest more before I had to go out later that night since TG parties are always a 2 day ordeal!!! LOL!
I was modeling for both Puimond and Libidex. I was wearing the same corset for Puimond I wore in SF, but he made it fit snugger for me since it was a bit big before--and it looked and fit even better!!! For Libidex, I was wearing a purple catsuit and hood, and it was amazing--it fit perfectly--and catsuits that aren't specifically tailored to fit me hardly ever work--it's like this suit was MADE for my long legs! Anyway, I didn't get out of rehearsals until after NINE!!!!! Poor Kumi called me, telling me she was deathly ill and wouldn't be able to do her performances--which really sucked :( I was gonna fill in for her lube wrestling performance, but unfortunately I was already so busy doing 2 shows, it didn't work out. I know how much it sucks to be sick and travel a long way to perform and then not be able to, so I felt so bad for her!!!!
After rehearsals I had to rush back to Brixton (luckily not too far from London Bridge) and get ready to head back to SeOne for the party (BTW, that venue is huge and excellent and I can't wait to see how the Rubber Ball works out there!) I quickly did my makeup and put on my pink nurse uniform and jumped into a cab with a sexy latex clad boy and a bottle of Jack Daniel's. Arriving at SeOne, we headed in and marveled at the line that was all the way down the block already! We saw more friends inside and got to partying!!!! Around midnight, I did the first show which went off great--then the second show about a half an hour later!!! The only thing that sucks about performing at parties like TG is that while your performance is going on, you wind up missing your friends' performances in another room!!! I'm so pissed I missed Lucifire's performance with her band The Flaming Doo Dits :(
Anyway, after my responsibilities for the evening were OVER--I got into FULLONPARTYMODE. Saw lots of friends (new and old), did lots of naughty things....well, all that's private!!!!! A girl never goes to TG and tells!!!!! It sucks though, that the venue was so big and so crowded that I never ran into a few people I really wanted to see--BOO!!!
We stayed until closing and headed over to Jimmy Mofo's with a bunch of people for a debauched after party. Now I'm usually a rockstar, being able to party for DAYS but jetlag really kicked in and around NOON on Sunday, we decided to call it a night!!! Our hosts wound up not getting home until 8 in the evening!! DAMN YOU JETLAG!!!!
Sunday, May 8th
SLEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!!
Monday, May 9th
Me and N. eventually got our asses out of bed and I got ready for my shoot with Ben Westwood who picked me up and took me to his place in Battersea to shoot with another model Bianca. We had a great productive day and shot a lot of stuff I cannot wait to see!!!! I will admit I was nervous, shooting with the son of such icons as Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren, but Ben was so easy to work with and down to earth the shoot went really well (despite all involved still being a bit slow from Torture Garden--as TG usually takes a week to recover from!!!!).
After shooting with Ben, I headed back to Brixton to collect the boy and we headed up to Camden for dinner with two of my FAVORITE people, Helen Lane and Andy. Lots of great Italian food was consumed as well as wine!! I love my UK friends so much I wish I could see them more! The wine caught up with us pretty quickly and we were damn tipsy when we caught the last tube to our respective homes---let me tell you getting up at 4:30AM to make it to Heathrow for our flight to Berlin sucked!!!!
