We paid our first visit to Club Subversion recently at Union in Vauxhall the theme was Summer Lovin and we had a really good night.
We have been in the scene for 18 years now and never tried Subversion. 18 years, yes it really has been that long!
We now find so many Fetish clubs to be almost mainstream, In the early days you got the feeling you were doing something that no one else did and that you were somewhere off the grid a bit dirty and exclusive. In those days the fetish world was largely unknown and it was great fun recounting our nights out to friends and family who were shocked that such a world even existed, I suppose you can’t keep something that good quiet for long!
Subversion was like stepping back in time and all the better for it. It wasn't about who looked the best and what designer fetish wear you had on - don't get me wrong I love to dress to excess but it was nice for that not to be the main focus, it was more of a real fetish club, dare I say for real fetish people. I will still go and dress to excess for other clubs but its like Subversion has it's own little niche and sets itself slightly apart from the others. Viva la différence!
There was a large dungeon with a whipping demonstration going on and plenty of space to sit watch, and socialase with others, upstairs there is a comfortable quiet socialising area where the slaves seem to hang out.
I picked up two slaves one licked my boots and provided me with a very comfy foot rest on his back after a stint on the dance floor. The other liked being wrapped in cling film and locked in the large standing cage by the dance floor – all good fun.
We spent some time chatting to several interesting people, amoungest them Master Keith who regaled us with hilarious stories from his colourful past, get him talking sometime, guaranteed you will be entertained.
The music was pretty dam good when we arrived, it was early and the place was a little empty but the music was pumping with real good tunes right from the start. Many clubs seem to have warm up music when it is early which to be honest is a bit draggy when you are just dying for the good stuff to start so you can get out on the floor.
A great club with a real fetish feel, good music and nice people, we will be going back again.
