"Fetish
Con"
visits
GaYBOR
It's 3 pm
and in the
lobby of
the
Tampa
Hyatt
Regency
Hotel
walks a
lady in
full
Western
Leather
leading
her
husband on
a leash
wearing a
pink mini
shirt & in
9" heels.
Unusual
yes....but
not when
"The
7th Annual
Fetish
Con"
is in
town! On
the night
we visited
the hotel
lobby we
ran into
the famous
"O-Girl"
and her
entourage
who have a
new film
coming out
at
theatres
soon. Over
to the
side there
was an
unusual
cage
design in
the shape
of a
coffin.
(designed
by
www.dungeondesignsinc.com)
We talked
Peter
(bartender
at
G. Bar)
to jump
inside.
The lid
was closed
and just
then a
scantily
clothed
woman ran
over and
jumped on
top of the
cage
putting
her 'you
know
what's'
into poor
Peters
face.
Chewing
bubble
gum, Peter
just blew
a bubble
and said
"Can I
get out
now???"
The
highlight
of this
years
convention
was the
opening of
the
New Fetish
Club
inside the
"Castle",
located
on 9th Ave
in Ybor
City.
John &
Michael
just keep
on
adding &
upgrading
Lounge
714.
The coffee
& espresso

Tuesday
Night &
"The Big
Four plus
One" in
the house!
We heard
all the
wild
stories
about
"TUESDAYS

with Chris
Weaver!"
After
joining
the gang
for "Wing-it Night"
at
Rock-n-Sports
(Super
yummy all
you can
eat wings
nite) we
decided to
walk
over &
check it
out for
ourselves.
Chris
had the
club
packed
with party
people!
DJ
Greg
Anderson
was
playing
all the
new music
and the
poor
bouncers
had a full
time job
trying to
keep
clothes on
the guys.
Who could
believe
there is a
club this
hot in
Tampa on a
Tuesday
nights!
Last
Saturday
night

Big Four
Club Kids" from
across Florida
