Dear Miss Adventure,

I'll be in California at the end of July, can you tell me if there'll be any kinky events I should attend? - BiCurious BiCoastal Betty from Camden

Dear BCBCBC,

We have just the event for you!  Miss A will send you straight, so to speak, to Erik Von Gutenberg, publisher of Marquis America, the standard in fetish fantasy magazine worldwide, who tells us about a great time in store for those-in-the-know and in rubber.  He declares, "I am extremely excited to welcome the latex lovelies and fabulous fetish freaks of the West Coast to the first-ever Marquis Fetish Ball. This special event features international bondage superstar Midori; The Baroness of New York City as MC and a spectacular fashion show with Antiseptic Fashions, as well as play rooms, kinky performances and live photography by Charles Gatewood.  I am proud and honored to present this event which combines European fetish origins with the playfulness of the west coast fetish crowd." Sponsored by ClipsForSale and SF's own kink.com, this unique happening, Saturday, July 18th, promises to stretch the imagination.  Find out more at www.marquisfetishball.com
