Merry Christmas! This week we are talking about Kink at Christmas based on this weeks blog post written for us by Victoria Blisse.
Dark edge to Christmas
I don’t know if it is a English thing but do you find there is a black edge to Christmas. While we both love the giving side of Christmas here in the UK I have always thought there is a darker side to the holiday. Watching a good horror film is something that has to be done during the season.
Turns out this might be a UK thing because it isn’t the way things are done in New Zealand. Probably largely because Christmas happens in the middle of summer down there.
London is just right during Christmas
Something special seems to happen in London during the Christmas season, it just seems to be what London was made for.
Alt Burlesque is closing
Perhaps it is a sign of the times but another alternative market is closing. For anyone who doesn’t know Alt Burlesque is an event that happens once a month up and down the country where all manner of alternative companies come to show their products. It is a real shame because they have been running for 8 years.
Along with that there are shows throughout the day from pole dancing to burlesque. When we were there we saw the amazing Tickerty Boo doing two of her routines and they were stunning. She has a few of them up on YouTube if you are interested.
It also means you won’t be able to see companies like Sequin Showstoppers quite so easily any more.
If you do want to see one before it is gone the very last one will be happening in Manchester in January.
Kinky at Christmas
Being kinky at Christmas isn’t always easy, there is so much to get done that it can be do hard to find the time. But if you are of that persuasion it is part of who you are, so while you don’t want the family to see it you still want to have fun.
You are not going to break Christmas if you don’t get every single thing done. You are allowed to have fun as well and you can have some time for yourself at Christmas.
Take a bit of a break this Christmas. Have a good time, enjoy your family, but take a little time for you as well.
