The Firms Xmas Party |

The Downside |
I gave up Christmas years ago. Bah! Humbug! (And I think I lost my watch here - oh no, it was on my camera bag all the time!) | ||||||
The Upside |
I may have given up Christmas but I'm just getting the hang of the S&M malarkey, so I went - and I'm glad I did. The venue (The Fringe) had metamorphosed into a twinkling grotto of loveliness - and that was just the gents toilets! In fact the downstairs was also subtly improved, even before the massed Elves of the Firm had worked their magic and installed the seasonal necessities like the proper grotto, the mince pie mountain and . . . the boxing ring?
The boxing ring was not greatly used - must be all the seasonal goodwill - but did see the first dual match (dual duel?) of its career. I managed not to get paired with the more intense fighter (my luck must fall down here one day), but was pitched once more against Kitty, to whom I managed to lose gracefully. Mistress Claws ran her snowboots off helping the grotto make sure that all the naughty children got what they deserved and running a tombola to raise money for a womens refuge. As a bonus it offered the chance to win the services of volunteers, although the chocolate was often as popular. Upstairs was less conspicuously dressed up for the occasion - it looked rather like an S&M dungeon. This was to the good since it encouraged much use! | ||||||
The Verdict |
A vast improvement on last years TG bash - there was S&M in it! To be fair TG do lean more towards the dance aspect, which leads me to prefer the quieter S&M centred affairs like this one. | ||||||
The Future |
I'm actually looking forward to next Christmas! | ||||||
