(Even more) Dress-up inspirations for Plum Like It Hot

Abby — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 09:27:06 +0000

Kinky Salon is all about the ridiculous so this is a chance to explore some of the silliest costumes ever.

Go wild by coming as one of these amazing fruit and veg related characters and celebrities:

Carmen Miranda, Strawberry Shortcake, Bananaman, the Jolly Green Giant, The Cabbage Patch Kids, Mr Bean, Steve Jobs from Apple, James and the Giant Peach, Kid Creole and the Coconuts, Ratatouille, The Man from Del Monte, Huckleberry Finn, Professor Plum…

Turn yourself into a delicious treat with bodypaint or go Lady Gaga style with a vegetable dress. Or for the cheap and cheerful approach try one of the many fresh fancy dress outfits.

Or flex your imagination muscles and go for a fruit’n’veg movie mash-up:

Flash Gordon with a spud masher becomes Mash Gordon, become a droog from A Clockwork Orange, cross a military outfit with Mr Potato Head to become Full Metal Jacket Potato or accessorise with some greenery to become Bladerunnerbean. Some sexy fruit-and-veg movies include “Nine and A Half Leeks” or “Brokeback Plantain”.
Or become your favourite fruit and veg character such as “The Fresh Quince of Bel Pear” or “Satsuma Thurman”. Go bananas and twist our melons, the fruitier and loopier the better.

Kinky Salon London presents

Plum like it hot:

A Fruit, Veg and Movie Mash-Up!

Sprouts… coriander… action! Kinky Salon celebrates salad days and forbidden fruit at Plum Like It Hot. Pop your cherry by coming as fruit shaken from the tree or be the hot potato by dressing as something foraged from the vegetable patch.

For a twist, mash your five a day against movie titles – for example “Nine and A Half Leeks” or “Brokeback Plantain”. Or become your favourite fruit and veg character such as “The Fresh Quince of Bel Pear” or “Satsuma Thurman”. Go bananas and twist our melons, the fruitier and loopier the better.

Playfulness, flirting, communication and consent workshop

Abby — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:23:08 +0000

Kicking off March’s PLUM LIKE IT HOT party, this is a free workshop open to all guests and particularly recommended for first-timers.

With an emphasis on fun, this is for everyone (singles, couples and groups) who may want to learn how to meet new people, communicate, flirt and gain expert insights into playroom etiquette, consent and the Kinky Salon London code of conduct.

The session lasts an hour and runs early on in the evening in the playroom. It is hosted by experienced kinksters. You will be able to sign up when buying your tickets.

How to make the most out of Kinky Salon London

Tobias — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 13:45:18 +0000

Whether you are a regular or a first-timer, here are some tips on how to make the most out of your participation in Kinky Salon London.

Above all else, make sure you and everyone in your group read the Code of Conduct, the Playroom Sweetheart guide and the FAQ. These guidelines are designed to protect the wellbeing of all guests and we expect everyone to abide by them.

Be sure to wear a ridiculous costume. Dressing-up puts the emphasis on imagination and fun rather than money or designer threads. If you’re in need of ideas check our theme suggestions. Tip: bring things to give away to people you meet or come up with some “schtick” to go along with your outfit, as both will help you interact with other people.

There is never any pressure to “do” anything at the party. We recommend you come with “playfulness” in mind rather than whether you may or may not “play” with anyone. Lots of people come to the party purely to dress up, watch the cabaret and dance. If this is your first time, we recommend setting yourself some strong initial boundaries as it can help to take off the pressure and reduce expectations. Remember that there will always be another Kinky Salon in a few months!

Whether you’re coming with a friend, a group or a partner, spend some time talking with them in advance about what you hope to get out of Kinky Salon. Agree some groundrules – for example, what kinds of experiences are you looking for? How much time should you spend together or apart? How do you check in to ensure your friend is okay? How do you signal if you need their attention or want to leave? Please arrive with your PAL/s and leave with them as you are responsible for their behaviour all night.

Treat everyone with the utmost regard. Avoid remarks or behaviour that might come across as sexist, homophobic, transphobic, racist or otherwise disrespectful. Don’t assume that everyone shares the same outlook/experience or identity as you. Unlike some parties, Kinky Salon welcomes and encourages all guests to interact and play with each other whatever their gender or sexuality might be. All spaces including the toilets are equally open to all guests.

We allow all forms of kink/BDSM/fetish at Kinky Salon. We ask that kinksters only bring rope/kit that they are experienced at using. Please do not mix intoxicants with kink. Agree safewords with anyone you play with and don’t be afraid to make it clear to those around you that you are engaged in consensual kink activity.

If you see bad behaviour or an infringement of the code of conduct, don’t be afraid to mention it to the person concerned. Or in the case of a serious problem feel free to approach one of the crew, who wear red armbands throughout the night. It’s far easier for us to address a problem on the night than after the event. The approach we take is one of mediation, so we won’t “cause a scene” if you report an issue to us.

Important news about our December 10th party

Tobias — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 15:01:21 +0000

Dear Kinky Salon Friends

We’ve been receiving emails asking what the theme is for our 10th December party and when tickets are going on sale. Some of you are so excited about the December event you have have chosen to celebrate your birthday parties with us and and others have already made plans to travel from far and wide to share in our arty sexy party.

The good news is that the party is definitely on and we’ve prepared a spectacularly hilarious theme for you. This will be announced next week ready for when tickets go on sale next Tuesday 8th November at 1pm. If you haven’t already become a confirmed member of our community please do so now as only people who have filled out the relevant form correctly get sent the ticket links.

As for the rest of the story… well, the past couple of weeks have been a rollercoaster ride of surprise, disappointment, stress and hard work for our crew. Right now we could do with all the support that you can give us.

Regulars will know that prior to our September party we put masses of time and energy into what was meant to become our new and permanent home. Unfortunately, despite us briefing the venue in writing as to exactly what Kinky Salon is all about, and despite them confirming the 10th December party with us, two weeks ago the venue manager decided to renege on the booking.

Suddenly we were without a home for Kinky Salon London and faced with a tough decision. Do we cancel the announced 10th December party… or do we pull out all the stops to make sure that we don’t disappoint everyone? After much deliberation and hard work, we chose the latter. Bear in mind that you can’t just walk into any normal club and book a night like Kinky Salon. But against the odds, we have managed to find a wonderful warehouse space run by an understanding bunch of people in a perfect part of town. It can take around the same capacity as our last place, caters to aerial and suspension performances, and we believe it is more accessible to wheelchair users than our last two venues.

In the absence of any ticket funds right now, our crew have put up their own cash to pay the venue deposit – at a personal cost of £2,000. The new venue doesn’t operate its own bar and so we will be running the bar ourselves. We’re going to make sure that the bar prices aren’t insanely high, we’ll still provide free water in the playroom and the rule against getting too intoxicated remains… but we need everyone to understand that the drinks you buy are an investment into the cost of running the party and will go directly to the non-profit Kinky Salon London organisation – not to some faceless corporation. . Even though our costs are certainly much higher, we’ve decided not to raise ticket prices from the £25 / £35 tiers we used last time. The £10 low income ticket will remain an option for those who wish to apply for it, and we’ll have a £10 ticket available for volunteers.

We believe in the future of Kinky Salon London and we, the crew, have put our own money on the line to make this party happen. If you share our vision, and if you can afford to pay the higher price for your ticket this time round, please do. It will free up more of the lower-priced tickets for those who simply cannot afford to pay any more. Kinky Salon London is still one of the cheapest parties of its type on the scene.

On Monday we’ll send you a mailout with details of the theme, the dressup inspirations and the ticket link… and on Tuesday 8th November at 1pm you’ll be able to buy your tickets. Please spread the word amongst your friends, make sure they’ve signed up, make sure they or one of their friends is ready to buy on Tuesday…. and encourage everyone to help us out in our hour of need!

Thanks for all your support,

The Kinky Salon London Crew

Even more RETROSEXUAL dressup inspirations

Tobias — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 18:19:05 +0000

This Saturday 17th September Kinky Salon London presents its RETROSEXUAL party. The party is sold out but for those of you still trying to figure out what your outfit will be, we have compiled even more suggestions than before!

Remember: dressing up at Kinky Salon London is compulsory. By “dressing up” we mean a ridiculous costume, not streetwear (which is not allowed) or standard fetishwear (which we discourage – save that for another party). There’s no need to spend a lot of money – some of the best outfits at previous parties have been home-made Blue Peter-esque affairs. Neither is it about antique vintage threads, a posh frock or a designer suit. It’s about being silly and having fun.

To get a sense of what guests at previous Kinky Salon parties look like, check our photo galleries.

Fancy exploring the senses?

Abby — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 08:38:11 +0000

This is a message from community member Andrew.

During the Retrosexual party I will be creating a small intimate space where visitors will have each of their 5 senses (consensually!) stimulated.

To make this happen I need a few extra hands, to tickle, stroke or blow into the ear of those who visit us, as well as materials. Do you have anything that vibrates, smells great, tickles, glows, chimes – anything fun and sensual that would work on one of the five senses? I’ll be buying chocolate and strawberries to work the taste buds.

I’m looking for 2-3 people who have tickets for RETROSEXUAL to help out with this. Please get in touch if you’d be interested in helping create this sensual space.

Thank you,

Andrew (liveveryday@yahoo.co.uk)

Videobooth from Mounts Olympus

This was filmed in July 2011 at our mythology-themed “Mounts Olympus” party. There are even more videobooth clips on our Video page.

If you like what you see here and you’d like to come to a future event, we have a party on Saturday September 17th. Ticket links are sent out only to confirmed members of our mailing list: click here to sign up.
