The German Fetish Ball Weekend has always been one of my favorite events. The main reasons being Berlin’s devisity, good fetish parties and many friends attend the event. So it was with great expectations that I arrived to Berlin early Saturday morning.

This year I choose only to attend the Saturday and Sunday events. I have to admit that three party nights in a row is too much for me. I rather go two days and have a great time, than go 3 days and be totally busted.

I stayed at the Ibis Hotel just 800 m from Potsdamer Platz. Not a fancy hotel, but cheap, clean and 24/7 service.

The first thing I did was to check out the German Fetish Fair. The venue of the fair was a old warehouse close to the river Spree on the east side of Berlin. The warehouse was very large compared to the previous years and windows in the roof made it bright and friendly. There was two negatives about the venue. First the floor, which was really rough; it was dirty with dust and clinged to the latex. Second, drops of water/condensation was dripping from the ceiling. Still I liked this venue better that the one last year.

There was plenty to see! The latex fashion industry was strongly representated by BlackStyle, Fetish Universe, Demask, Schwarze Mode, Bodycult, Bondinage, Rubbermagic, Breathless, Torture Garden Clothing, Latex-Line and Fantastic Rubber.

The danish whip makers, Whipcraft, revealed their latest collection, some of which were made with with latex snares. I loved the short medical whip with a little red cross on the white handle… “Bend over, it’s time for your medicine! Wack! Wack! Wack!”. The detail and finish of Whipcraft’s whips is astonishing… The same goes for the price.

Other points of interest was the skillful Berli-Gum with their heavy latex toys and masks. There was an art zone by Secret Magazine with fetish photo and artwork on display all over the fair. The US magazine “Buckle” also seemed petty interesting and worth checking out.

There were multiple small fashion shows at the fair. I watched the one by Marquis, which they showed off their new cute football uniforms. The show turned into a mayhem when the four barefooted latex wearing models were given a football by the referee, also latex. It only took the models seconds to send the football hurtling towards the audience in great speed. Thank god only a few drinks were spilled and not some expensive camera broken.

I ran into a lot of friends at the fair, here is a few of them: Marcus and Susann from Sweden also known for “a thing for rubber,” my dear friend, the beautiful Gixxi, webmistress of Crazy-Rubber & Friends, a Canadian guy, well known online as Observer, and the multi talented Dark-Wing Zero.

I think it was a good fair, the location was maybe not perfect, but the items on display was top of the line and the selection was great!
