Pussy Control was the host for the Friday nights play party of the Skin Two Extreme Rubber Ball weekend. Pussy Control pride themselves on being a female dominated fetish party with kink, dancing hedonism and debauchery rolled into a night of fem fun. No men are allowed unless accompanied/escorted by a female.

The night promoted to have DJ, live performances, a house Mistress to monitor the play room and house and sissy maids to be on hand throughout the night for the female guests.

First Impressions

Glass Alice, Rick and I (Miss Lillith) drove to the club arriving at midnight and parked in a street nearby quite easily. Club FIRE is also a stone’s throw away from Vauxhall tube and bus station. The entrance turned off down a wide alley way which wasn’t signposted and there we found a little garden shed with a lady sat inside where you would present your tickets or give your name if on the list. Next to the ticket booth was a tented area to put your coat, then next to that a large smoking area.

Going into the club was a long groovy corridor with light effect walls, which led us into the main dance area and bar. Near the front of the dance area we discovered a small play area then a little further along from this we thought we had wondered to a backstage area (an extremely small space) but realised it was also a play space of sorts consisting of a St Andrews cross and a spanking stool. We wondered about and went round in a circle to find that other than toilets that were all there was. There were probably about 50 people in all, and was certainly a predominantly female to male ratio.

Facilities

Cloakroom and Changing Area
The Cloakroom was situated in a marquee outside the entrance to the club. There was not an allocated changing area and was told by guests that they had gotten changed in the toilets, which must have been a job as most had come in fantastic colourful rubber clothing/costumes. The toilets were ______, yet they failed to address the cleanliness throughout the night.

Smoking Area
Another large comfortable marquee next to the cloakroom with plenty of tables and chairs in.

Bar Area
This was a raised platform of changing lighted tiles at the back of the dance floor. Above on the ceiling was full of several hanging mirror balls which added to its attractiveness.

Unfortunately that was about all that was attractive about the bar as the prices were high. £6.25 for a single rum and coke and £4.50 for bottle of beer which were served by staff looking thoroughly bored.

Dance Floor
Situated in a rectangular room at the front of the dance floor was a raised DJ box with large multiple screens behind playing ‘Club Pussy Control’ promo video and in front of the DJ box, a small raised temporary stage for the live acts. Separating the bar from the dance floor was a raised block which people sat on, then to the right a raised dancing pole. It was a very intimate space which would probably be able to fit at maximum capacity 50 people in.

Unfortunately this space was not used so much for dancing. We decided to give it some and have a boogie to hopefully encourage others, but through 3 tracks only about 5 or 6 joined in. Possibly the reason for this was the music that was being played. House music with looooong break beats, nothing too inspiring to get down to. We gave up trying to dance then went outside where one guest said;

“I just couldn’t bust a groove with that music”

Live acts
We managed to catch one of the three live performances of the night. Lottie Kixx, an international, fun, seductive burlesque dancer who gave a mirror ball some serious attention with her glittering strap on. She performed to one song and during this the dance floor was full. This was an energised, superb act, who I would definitely like to see more of. The only let down was the DJ who talked through her act over the mic!?? It left you going – yes I know she is fucking a ball – you don’t need to tell us and go “woooooo” as well! What a shame! And felt for the performer as it detracted attention from her performance.

The following performance was delivered by the house Mistress Domina Vee. Sadly we missed this performance but heard great positive feedback from people that had seen it.

Play Area
A small intimate area with seating all around the edges. Two pieces of play equipment was in the space which were used at times by others. There was not a lot of play happening, occasionally someone would be on the spanking stool being flogged by someone who had bought along their own whip – and there was a separated darkened area where a few couples were having sex. We did not notice anyone monitoring this room which felt uneasy as we had people drooling over us and also had to verbally tell someone to get out of our own, intimate personal space.

The website suggested there would be a house mistress monitoring the play room and house slaves and sissy maids present to serve the female guests. If there was a house mistress then we did not see her. As for the house slaves and Maids, this we saw was only one single male in a latex outfit with a luggage label with his name on. If we hadn’t of asked, we wouldn’t have known that he was one of them. He was very friendly and was wondering about with a questionnaire regarding peoples involvement in fet clubs.

Suggestions:

Clear directions to a fully monitored play area that is kept clean (there were no glass collectors). Changing space needed. Identifiable and welcoming staff present. Special guests such as the house Mistress and house slaves to be identifiable inside the club. Perhaps a change of DJ, so that there is a variation in the type and style of music played. It really needed more grimy dirty music to groove to. Clearer announcements about when the live acts were on. Higher staging put up for the live acts (we couldn’t see the performer well in the small space that there was, even with a handful of people in front of us), lower bar prices and more effort to welcome people there.

Overall it just needed better organisation to the running of the club as a whole. It was a small intimate club with few guests. Some of the people we met made this night enjoyable. There was a friendly atmosphere, with some happy and comfortable to parade their gimps/sissy maids around, lots of rubber and awesome outfits, but for a paying guest there was not enough structure or wow to this event to live up to its expectations.

I do hope Pussy Control continues to put on events and iron out some creases. This is a space specifically for females which in itself is a great thing to do. Good luck Pussy Control, there IS potential.
