Dystopia. Saturday night just gone was Dystopia, a decadent fetish and burlesque club/party/event organised by the gorgeous Miss Despotic (in the photo, blue hair). We took over an old mansion for the evening, had some of the best burlesque acts on in Manchester, and some of the most decadent and depraved people in the audience. I was photographer for the night, and while I am not cleared to use all the photos, there’s plenty I can use. Was an amazing night, it frightened some of the vanilla guests, ha ha! Much much praise to Miss D and her team, for putting on a great night, so so much hard work went in to getting it done, last min change of venues, cakes, and so many young ladies at the end of the night needing sambucca removing from their cleavages. Of course, I did help when asked politely. ‘Tis only gentlemanly of me. Simply cannot wait until the next one. Will queue more photos, and put some in http://blog.chriswparker.co.uk 
(via sexual) Throughout all my explorations of erotic art and photography, there, naturally, were aspects of it that didn’t appeal to me. I have never been a fan of feet, for example. I can see the beauty in the photography, but as a fetish or kink, it does nothing much for me. However, the picture above is from the introduction to Ed Fox’s book, and Ed is a photographer of sexy feet. The book is great, and while it didn’t change my appreciation of feet, the photography is wonderful. 
The amazing Miss Despotic! Many many thanks to all at Odder Bar, Oxford Road, Manchester for the gracious use of the upstairs bar for the shoot. Having had many drinks in all the bars in the Odd chain, I can highly recommend them all (Odd Bar, Northern Quarter, and Oddest Bar, Chorlton) Click on the photo to see more from the shoot on my website. Go on, go look. NOW! |
