SIN CITY FETISH NEW YEAR’S BALL: VANCOUVER GOTH NIGHTLIFE, BONDAGE DUNGEON.

Halloween and New Year’s are my two most important days of the year, so I made sure to ring in 2009 amidst half-naked revelers and dungeon masters. Promoter Mr. Dark ushered me through the gates of Sin City, Vancouver’s wickedest party for seven years straight. Fetish, bondage, boobage – anything goes, yet the environment is safer and friendlier than your average pop/R&B grindfest.

The fashion was, to borrow a Japanese word, “moriawase”: a fine assortment of Gothic and alternative looks. The gamut ran from 1920s starlet Louise Brooks…

…to the modern androgynous glam of Brian Molko. Quite a few partygoers came prepared for a nuclear fallout.
Sin City paints Vancouver red two Saturdays a month. It’s wild yet inclusive and has a little something for everyone… so strap a stuffed toy to your head and bring on the rubber chaps!
