UNLEASHED 5TH BIRTHDAY REPORT

The latter singled out one of the four for special treatment, which involved being sheathed in an armless bondage top and ballgagged. You don’t see that on the pavement outside John Lewis.

Amsterdam’s Rubberdutch took to the stage with seven male and female models in steampunk-style outfits (including lots of feathers) to deliver a show that vividly homaged Mad Max.

They were followed by the second UK act of the night, London’s Bliss Theadora and Adreena Angela. Their strap-on domination show got some members of the audience so excited that they decided to do their own tribute performances right in front of the artistes.

As seems to be the tradition in this city, the porniest performance was reserved until very late — in fact, until after the Fuel Girls had done their grand show.

Described in the running-order somewhat understatedly as a ‘fetish show’, its performers arrived onstage in combinations of latex, angel wings and rope harnesses and soon got stuck in — primarily to each other. I think ‘fetish orgy’ would have been a better title.

Much of the action was centred on what different members of the cast could do to Valerio of Love Boutique and Vanadio Piercing fame. And all this only encouraged more excesses within the audience.

Further back in the auditorium, more members of this 13-strong troupe were allegedly performing simultaneously in two podium cages, though whenever I looked, I failed to spot them.

These cages had been in use most of the evening, between or concurrently with shows on the main stage. Caged performances were by viXXXen Dancers, Imaginary Tease, and Bliss and Adreena.

I think it was a bit ambitious of Unleashed’s pre-publicity to describe these two podiums as ‘stages’. But the various incarcerated performers certainly did their best to provide additional eye-candy for the audience.

Fun though it all was, there was a point in the evening when I definitely knew it was time to unsling my camera and head back to the hotel.

It occurred when I was down at the front, leaning against the barrier separating the audience area from the backstage area, and just looking out into the crowd.

Two hot-looking latex-clad women appeared, headed for the barrier quite close to where I was positioned, and began voraciously snogging each other.

Perhaps they were anticipating that I, a bloke with a camera, would want to photograph their generous displays of affection. But sadly, photogenic though the situation undoubtedly was, they’d left it just a bit too late for me to raise the necessary energy.

But another ’tog soon took the bait, so I happily left him to it and headed off into the fresh night air.
