Torture Garden Birthday 2007

I've finally gotten the photos from Torture Garden 2007 Birthday party edited and posted. This time of year, it seems as though there is a fetish event or two every week. This year, TG's birthday overlapped with Munich BoundCon and was followed by the Berlin Fetish weekend and Fetish Factory's 12th anniversary party. While Lady Venus & I were in Munich for BoundCon IV, I made an overnight trip to London to photograph the Torture Garden Birthday party. It was an exhausting 30 hour pilgrimage to London and back to Munich, but was well worth it!

Torture Garden is known not only for the gorgeous latex clothing line they produce, but also for some of the wildest fetish parties in the world! It was held in SeOne beneath London Bridge this year. This is a really cool club, with many little rooms and a main stage where the fashion show took place.

I got there a little late, and the club was already packed. For the first couple of hours, I was able to get a lot of shots of the party-goers, all dressed to the max in some of the most exquisite latex I've seen this year. By midnight, the TG fashion show was about to begin. I was camping out by the stage for a bit, knowing that there would be no way I could make it to the front with the enormous crowd. Fortunately, I had a prime spot and got some good shots of the fashion show.

It wasn't until late in the night that I realized that I was missing half of the entire event! There were two rooms tucked away in the back with a dungeon and performances that I totally missed! I was very sad to realize that I missed Kumi Monster & Midori's show (which I heard was excellent). I did manage to make my way back later, and got some shots of the dungeon. The club was so packed that for a couple of hours it was nearly impossible to photograph at all! I wasn't totally pleased with my images from the night, and am still kicking myself that I missed so much in the back rooms. However, here is the gallery for Torture Garden's birthday 2007. I hope you enjoy!
