[Pa-furry] Fetish Ball to support Animal Shelters on August 26

[Foxes' Den]

It would seem that Anthrocon thrusting the furry fandom into the local 
nomenclature of Western Pennsylvania has afforded us some opportunities that 
might have gone overlooked.

I’ve been contacted by the local BDSM & Fetish community to extend an 
invitation to interested Furs to attend and support their upcoming Fetish 
Ball, hosted by Elise's Playground, 
http://www.elisesplayground.com/pittevents.htm, and being held at Mr. Smalls 
Funhouse, 400 Lincoln Ave, Millvale, PA, 15209, http://www.mrsmalls.com, on 
Saturday, August 26, 2006 at 7:00pm.

The event will benefit two animal shelters in Louisiana who are still 
dealing high numbers of unclaimed pets left in the aftermath of Hurricane 
Katrina last year.  The shelters are the St. Bernard Parish Animal Shelter, 
http://www.sbpanimal.homestead.com/, and the St. Bernard Parish Animal 
Control Lost Pet’s Organization, http://www.loststbernardpets.com/.

Elise's Playground is a Fetish Ball that leans towards Goth. There are 
typically a few vendors on site displaying their wares, we have a DJ and 
also showcase a live band, We hold a Fetish Stage Show of some type, there 
is a large dance floor and there is a small play area (two St. Andrews 
Crosses and a Spanking bench) off to one side that’s managed by House 
Mistress Lady Victoria Frost. All equipment is Free to play on. The concert 
and dance are held in the same room and same time as the play area but is 
separated and roped off.  This event I also intend to introduce a Grope Box 
that going with the theme I’m renaming "The Pound" for the night. We 
typically see 150-180 people an event.

People are encouraged to wear fetish wear most nights and we also encourage 
people to bring their toy bags out to play. No complete nudity, nipples and 
frontal genitals must be completely covered but all else can be exposed. 
Furs may show up anyway they feel comfortable. If they’re comfortable with a 
full or partial fursuit that’s appropriate. If not, ears and tails or 
something fetishy is always appreciated! Believe me you will fit in and be 
appreciated.

DJ Louis the Lion will be spinning Synthpop/EBM/Industrial/Retro and all 
forms of alternative music from the 80’s, 90’s and today.  Later in the 
night there will be a special live performance by Vicious Alliance.

Pre-sales are available through Mr. Small’s website for $10 and at the door 
for $12.  50% of the raised proceeds will be split between the two shelters. 
   Must be 21 years of age or over to be admitted.
