2014-10-25 Leather Fetish Ball 2014


Check out the video of digital fiber-optic whips onstage - It gets really awesome at the 2:30 mark:



Here are the links for the Leather Fetish Ball in 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2019.


From Papa Tony: As always, the Leather Fetish Ball was superbly produced - Robb Rodd did an amazing job of bringing talent together, and entertaining the 300 or so attendees.

After we debuted the digital fiber optic whips at Donnie's run for Mr. San Diego Bear contest for the Bears, this was the first BIG public demonstration of light-up-the-dark public kinky performances. It startd a public-performance fashion that has lasted for years afterward.

We didn't tell ANYBODY what we were planning to do, and it's fair and accurate to say that the crowd was astonished and gratified. The video is maybe one-tenth as exciting as seeing it in real life.

I spoke to the guy in charge of lighting beforehand, and he was struggling to understand the plan: "You want ALL of the lights turned OFF during your performance?!?!!!" I assured him that we really, truly wanted that.

I had spent decades flogging with leather floggers, and teaching others how to use them correctly. I had learned how do Florentine flogging (using two floggers) relatively recently, and while searching the internet for instructional videos, I was surprised to find that there was entire physical art-form called "Technical Poi" that contained NEW possibilities for combining kinky and public performance.

I ALSO noticed people using light-up devices made for public demonstrations. In my research, I found fiber-optic toys that were never designed for kinky play, but could be used for that purpose.

So, David and I were the Tops, and slave bob and Donnie were our bottoms. We demonstrated Two-Beat Weaves, Three-Beat Weaves, and David delighted the crowd with a Fountain. Honestly, it wasn't fair to the folks who had to follow our act, because nobody in the crowd was paying attention. So, at the following Leather Fetish Ball, I asked that my team be the last act for the night.
