09 Aug The Club Spank Birthday Ball ‘Tokyo Nights’ Sat 21st September 2013
[singlepic id=5694 w=320 h=240 float=left]THEME: A celebration of all that is sexy, kinky or just plain beautiful from the Land of the Rising Sun. As the Vapours once sung, we’re turning Japanese!
Think Harajuka girls, cyber Ninjas, neo-Geishas, latex-clad Samurai, Tokyo punk… CosPlay with twisted Anime or slutty Manga characters… and last but certainly not least, the fascinating art of Japanese rope bondage Kinbaku/Shibari.
Celebrate Spank’s first UK birthday (in Australia we’re now rising 7 years old!) at the ultra-smart Al Duomo Bar & Club, beautifully located next to the historic Royal Pavilion Gardens. This wonderful Italian restaurant efficiently chases out the last patrons and whisks away the tables to provide a late-night space that lends itself as perfectly to clubbing as it does to eating. Expect a supportive manager, professional bar staff and security, and high-quality sound systems.

MIDNIGHT SHOW – a stunning Kinbaku rope performance from the renowned Jack & Zahara http://www.jackandzahara.co.uk/. “Rope is an extension of Jack’s hands. It is a new and deeper form of communication, in a way where words will simply never do. It is love, passion, sensuality, eroticism, raw energy. It is primal, elevated, frustration, tears, pure feeling. It is a way of joining that nothing else has ever matched up to. Rope is a mutual exchange, full of laughter and love.”
Their show will start in the depths of the secluded dungeon room, but will then be taken upstairs through the dance floor to the balcony area of the mezzanine level… so everyone will have a chance to see this talented duo and the electricity that sparks between them. Enjoy…
GEISHA GIRLS – After the roaring success of their roving marionette act (not to mention bar dancing!) at the Spank Brighton Fetish Weekend Ball, that extrovert duo Minxx Moré and Belle de Vine will provide a sexy-as-hell Geisha girl service not to be forgotten… go find them in the club to receive their attentions!
BEST-THEME OUTFIT PRIZE: We are grateful and delighted to announce that a copy of Nawashi Murakawa’s fascinating book ‘The book of The Ten Women’ will be awarded… so get planning those costumes darlings. Please find out more about this lovely and talented man at http://www.nawashimurakawa.com/book.html.

DRESSCODE: NO OUTFIT, NO EFFORT = NO ENTRY
YOU DON’T HAVE TO DRESS TO THEME, but we do ask for a decent effort to dress to our fetish dress code. This means anything along the lines of: Fantasy, Fetish, Latex/Leather, BDSM, Body Art, Drag, Goth, Uniform, Burlesque, Medical, Cabaret/Showgirl, Steampunk, Carnival, Cyber, Lingerie, OTT dinner dress etc. If you’re unsure, please just drop us a PM with any questions, or check out the website at https://spankbrighton.co.uk.
NO CASUAL STREET WEAR especially no denim, no cotton t-shirts, no regular suits.
NO ‘BASIC BLACK’, pulling on plain black trousers, plain black shirt and black tie is NOT AN OUTFIT and won’t get you into this party. If that is your basic style, you’ll need to dress it up with some accessories eg makeup, hat, gloves, jewellery etc… or ornamentation such as chains or rope (and those should stay on all evening as part of your outfit). Just a little extra effort will get you in. ‘All black’ is something quite different, it’s your choice of clothing we’re looking for, not the colour.
You can change on arrival at the club, just show the Door Bitch your outfit in a bag and then go change as quickly as possible in the toilets.
And finally, as always… NO NUDITY please.

MUSIC: HEADLINE DJ – MILES GORFY (SUBVERSION, LONDON)
We’re delighted to have Miles back again, we couldn’t imagine Club Spank without him now.
For over 15 years now Miles has been a leading light on the dance music scene. From his roots running events in Essex and then accepting several noteworthy London residencies he’s progressed to playing all over the country and abroad.
A love of dressing up and all things kink meant a move into the fetish scene was inevitable. Last year Miles became the music director for Club Subversion and ran the dance arena at The London Fetish Weekend. His inimitable uplifting and energetic style has firmly established a reputation like no other.
SUPPORTING DJs:
TINTIN (Shameless, Spank Australia), our long-term Spank resident who will take you on a journey through Electro & House
PETER VON SLEAZE (Torture Garden, Synergy) playing Gypsy Swing to get the party started
The DUNGEON will offer ambient sounds at a level conducive to conversation. After all, nobody likes to shout while they’re playing.
