Being held as they will be at Proud Embankment in London, this year’s UK Fetish Awards will prove to be the biggest and best showcase this event has ever enjoyed! With Rico & Zara hosting, a red carpet unraveling starting at 7 pm, stage shows, “walkabout entertainments,” and the award presentation at 9 pm, what more could any good kinkster want?!
Additionally, sponsors Harness & Maine have a dedicated space to offer hair & makeup styling & touch-ups.
Fifteen categories are featured this year, with folks making it into the winning spot dependent, as usual, on how much they promote themselves online and subsequent fan voting.
As one of the organizers who I spoke to about all this, told me, the UK scene has always been especially kinky, and when Torture Garden (who I have mentioned before here), one of the premier kink event coordinators in the world, launched in London years ago, alt. fetish wear events, play nights, and general kink get-togethers brought the community together often and in ever more popular, dare one say ‘mainstream’ happenings.
The Fetish Awards was birthed from the glamour awards held back only a handful of years ago, where a “best fetish model” category was included. But after further consideration and recognizing how much the word and styles of “fetish” covers, it was thought prudent to have a whole evening dedicated to how people express their love of, and the sure camaraderie surrounding, kink.
As most of us are trying to, those people either up for an award this year, fans voting for them, and everyday kinksters are all just trying to evolve, express themselves and find common ground as much as enjoy the differences between us we all should revel in.
If you happen to be in London on Wednesday, November 9th, make plans to be at the UK Fetish Awards (go here for tickets).
