Hi there,
We’re back from an all-too-brief tropical escape, greasing the leather, polishing the boots and readjusting our heads to that dark and dirty space that is The Hellfire Club, only five short sleeps away this Friday night August 21st.

We have an all-grrl DJ box with  DJ Sveta and Mandy Rollins on offer, pumping out perverted beats to get you all in the mood for rude.

In shows, expect deep and sophisticated po-mo weirdness as Zoofi presents Starfish Enterprise, starring Mr Muscle and Cripple. Confused? So are we… best check out Zoofi on the Hellfire Blog here: http://hellfiresydney.com/blog/?p=1784

She’ll be on late, but earlier we welcome another Hellfire virgin to our stage:

She recently won Miss Amateur Pole Dance 2009, she’s a dancer and aerialist as well as a recognised alt/art model with a lot of experience behind her. Previous performances include Bloodlust, Neotokyo and Under The Blue Moon. Her name is Debzilla and she’s hot.

I have no idea what she’ll be doing, but I don’t care, as she is, as I mentioned earlier, hot.

Plus we have the regular $100.00 open order prize from Sax Fetish for the best homemade/improvised outfit, and some double passes to a bent event at the Powerhouse (see below for details).

In the meantime, play nice and we’ll see you on Friday!

Cheers
Master Tom
The Hellfire Club

>DARK SCIENCE: the Powerhouse gets perverse

Dark Science are two nights of adults only science – Experiment on yourself, your friends and total strangers. The ABC’s Natasha Mitchell asks the hard questions.

FLESH

“Flesh” will use suspension artists, tattooing, performers and scientists to lead you on a discussion of just what the human body might be capable of. But its more than discussion – it’s about experimenting. Experiment with yourself, your friends and total strangers to challenge what you believe about your own flesh.

This live event looks at the biology of skin and muscles, particularly in relation to pain. You will never think about your body the same again. Suspension artists from Polymorph and tattooists from Bondi Ink Ply their trade in front of you. Pain and burns researchers, perception psychologists and skin specialists, will reveal the mysteries of scars, burns, pain and perception.

How can a hook through a piece of fragile skin carry a person’s weight? A live suspension will be followed with an opportunity for brave volunteers to have a hook inserted – or even a steel skewer pushed through their cheek. On stage, a burn victim and a scarification enthusiast discuss skin, scars and self-image. What do their scars mean to them?

When: Wednesday 26th August, 7pm – 10pm
Where: Powerhouse Museum, 500 Harris St, Ultimo
Cost: $10
Tickets: http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/bookings/scifest/

PSYCHE

“Psyche” looks into your mind and confront your fears, be it spiders, snakes, bugs, death or needles. Psychologists will help you understand exactly what these things are and how they make you… well… YOU.

This live event looks at the mental aspects of fear and pain. Suspension artists will demonstrate how hooks pushed through their skin can carry the entire weight of the body. A Bondi Ink tattooist will tattoo a willing subject while the audience can participate with spiders, coffins and ropes to get them thinking about fear. At what point, does the process of pain become pleasure? An event guaranteed to challenge the way you think.

When: Friday 28th August, 7pm – 10pm
Where: Powerhouse Museum, 500 Harris St, Ultimo
Cost: $10
Tickets: http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/bookings/scifest/

Thanks to the kind folks at the Powerhouse Museum, we’ll have a couple of double passes valid for both nights (worth $36 each) to give away at our August Club Night. So if you’re interested in PAIN and FEAR, come tell me why you should win a double pass before midnight!

Hentai Cabaret: Real Japanese Kink imported direct from Osaka

Exclusive, in an guaranteed Australian premier event, Uber is flying Mizz Satomi (the rope goddess herself) and Ai Chan, her hot rope submissive, from Osaka to give you a special one-off performance.

“It will give you a real taste of what the real SM shows are like in the cabaret bars in Osaka. Mizz Satomi – in her role as Viviene Bordeaux – will tantalise, tease, torment, and torture her little japanese hottie for your entertainment and edification”, says Miss Dee from Uber.

“Regardless of your orientation, the Japanese art of torture and temptation is bound to stir something deep in side you”.

Miss Dee adds, “We personally go to see them perform in Osaka – and their girl on girl act is sizzling! this is a one off performance, miss it, and you will have missed an event rarely seen outside of Japan.”

They are also joined by some of their regulars from Jail who decided that they just “had” to be here.

Doors open 9pm – DJs from minute one 3 shows: 10pm, 11pm, 12am

August workshops: @ uber

uber has two more workshops coming up in August, including a Boys’ only workshop: “Whats in HER knickers?”

“Flogging: Playing with impact” is a repeat of one of our really popular How To’s workshops.  Whether you are a first-timer or have some experience, a good flogging always gets both flogger and floggee into a great head space. Spaces for this workshop are limited, so book early. $20. Sunday 23rd August.

To book or find out more, go to uber’s website http://www.uberservices.com/UberLearn_local.html

Hi there,
Settle in for some serious reading – we’ve got one of those extra-large editions chock full of kinky goodness and perverse pleasures for your perusal, so make sure you keep scrollin’ along to stay up with the latest.

So without fartarsing around any further, here’s what’s in store for you at the next edition of The Hellfire Club on Friday August 21st:

Our DJ box will be full-on female, as we welcome back DJ Sveta from her whirlwind world tour with her delectable fiancee. She’ll be facing off against her long-time nemesis, Mandy Rollins, for a beat-driven grrl-fight of epic proportions. Who will win the battle for sonic supremacy? Who’ll be left standing when the music stops? Why am I asking all these rhetorical questions? Only time will tell…

And in the Show Department:

We welcome back the thinking person’s pervert, or the thinking pervert’s person – the irrepressible Zoo, with her latest performance art extravaganza; Zoofi presents Starfish Enterprise.

‘It’s true I always wanted love to be
Hurtful
And it’s true I always wanted love to be
Filled with pain And bruises…‘

Mr Muscle has a new treat for his favourite little Cripple, giving her some exoskeltal enhancement with the aid of a large knife, a splattering of wax… and a staple gun. This most erotic aquatic adventure culminates with the exotic echinoderm and her captor-creator delivering a very special sparkling starfish surprise. So grab your rods and reels on down to August Hellfire to see what the tide has left behind…

Check out Zoofi on the Hellfire Blog here: http://hellfiresydney.com/blog/?p=1784

We’ll regale you with tales of what else we have in store for you in the next email, but in the meantime have fun, play dirty and be nice to each other.

Cheers
Master Tom

PS. The winner of the July 2009 Sax Fetish DIY Prize was a bit hard to decide… where were are all those DIY outfits? Now you know the criteria – something that you have made or put together yourself. As there was no actual DIY winner, Ultra just picked her favourite outfit, which was worn by a bubbly lass who had a nicely put together Alice outfit. She won her by her equally bubbly attitude in the club, sharing the love… here is a glimpse of her night: http://hellfiresydney.com/blog/?p=1792

Thanks to the kind folks at the Powerhouse Museum, we’ll have a couple of double passes valid for both nights (worth $36 each) to give away at our August Club Night. So if you’re interested in PAIN and FEAR, come tell me why you should WIN a double pass before midnight!

Hi there,
Not long now until our next party at The Hellfire Club this Friday July 17th, and all the pieces are falling into place for another giant jigsaw puzzle of pleasure and perversity.

Musically speaking, we welcome back our talented resident DJ Mandy Rollins armed with an arsenal of fully-loaded new tunes plus some twisted faves, throwing down the gauntlet to two special guest DJs on the night.

Number one is definitely counted among our all-time favourite spin doctors. We’ve already had him play a rather epic set or two for you already over the years, and he will be returning for a three hour guest set this Friday.

His name is DJ Tokoloshe. He’s a former resident of Family nightclub (QLD); he’s now f**king around in Melbourne, whilst realising that Sydney is still the best.

He says: “Nothing really compares to Hellfire, does it?”

Well we’d have to agree.

He promises a mix of “electro, house/techno and maybe mash-up some funky stuff early on.” It’ll be music to beat a bum to.

Check out his sexy new shots on the Hellfire Blog here: http://hellfiresydney.com/blog/?p=1751
And don’t forget the tail end of the evening will have an extra-special sting in the form of Hellfire-regular-turned DJ Karl Anderson, who’ll be doing his (virgin) set at Hellfire for our July Club Night. Catch him in our illustrious box after 3.30am! We’re sure you’ll all recognise Karl from the dancefloor, but if you’re not sure who we mean check him out here: http://hellfiresydney.com/blog/?p=1711

We told you about the late show by the always-sexy Kira Carden from Hu-La-La in the last email (but you can refresh your memory at http://hellfiresydney.com/blog/?p=1725 ) and as promised, we can now reveal our 11:00pm performance:

Mark & Lani of DV8House are planning a very special Hellfire show, fresh from travelling the world wowing audiences wherever they’ve appeared. Their most recent international performances were in LA after presenting at ShibariCon in Chicago. These two just don’t stop touring as they were in Japan at Easter, and have now been asked to perform at Tokyo’s Fetish Ball and Folsom Fringe Festival in San Francisco later this year.

Rope… Leather… Sex…

Just three of the things that make this couple really tick.

Add a knife, aerial acrobatics, flips, rolls, and some amazing rope and here we have a recipe for “sex on a string”. Don’t miss this opportunity to see their erotic rope magic at it’s very best right here on our stage.

We’d like to congratulate them on celebrating three years together too. Catch them for an extended show at the special time of 11pm and take a peek at their sexy rope antics on the Hellfire Blog to get you in the mood: http://hellfiresydney.com/blog/?p=1755

So get your gear together, assemble an outfit and dress to excess this Friday night at The Hellfire Club – see you there!

Cheers
Master Tom

PS. Make sure you’re in the running for the Sax Fetish DIY Encouragement Award of a $100.00 Sax voucher for the best homemade fetish fashions, just see Ultra before midnight. You can check out last month’s winner here: http://hellfiresydney.com/blog/?p=1721

Ultra’s: Members Area Update

May & June Galleries On Their Way

While we relax on a beach for a week this month, our faithful web designer Pauly will be updating this month’s bounty of shots including a bunch of new shows like David D. Deville’s straight jacket escape; Jamilla Deville’s sexy heels and stockings on the well-used Hellfire pole; La Bec’s pink panther problems with a naughty costume eating mouse; Ultra taking on a variety of people with whips on the Icebox dance-floor; a nineteen year old Kitty Kat who shows off her gymnastic flexibility with a set of red feather fans and animal skulls, pointed black caps, tattoos and dark red blood from Venus Vamp.

You’ll also get photos of your good selves from our May and June club nights. May’s gallery has prize winners a-plenty with a special House of Fetish promotion giving me three goodie bags to give away. It was hard choosing, but you’ll find a sexy blonde lass in fishnet (with matching partner); a busty corseted brunette with peaked cap and our nineteen year old birthday girl in a latex fishtail skirt as our three sexy winners. We enjoyed seeing you all make such an effort with your costumes – the sexy woman in pink lingerie and fishnet caught my eye, as did the pretty red Asian style coat and the couple in slinky chain mail. My favourite corset of the night was in pinstripe, and worn so well by a mohawked redhead.

You know one sure way to win a prize at Hellfire has to be sewing your own school uniform and writing ‘Hellfire Rulz’ on your arm in black Texta! You can also catch our eye in cherry red latex dresses, like Miss Maggot manages to do. Mr Milk was caught on the A-frame being a very naughty boy (remember those licensing laws boys and girls) and a very cute twosome of girls warmed up our pole to and kept the early crowd entertained at our June 2009 Club Night. I was also pleased to see so many colourful and sexy tattoos – kudos to the lass in leopard print with the super sexy pin-up girl on her arm.”

You will also find a bunch of other goodies (in fact 639 new photos in all) like show shots from our Wellington tour late last year (Hellfire Mascot Madellen and our photographer Emmy look mighty cute in their sailor outfits) in the Away Gigs section, and nearly nude girls wrestling in blood and guts (tofu and lube) in our Spontaneous Suffering gallery.

See it all by signing up for our Member’s Area now at our website: http://www.hellfiresydney.com/blog (just click on sign up now in the menu on the right hand side). We use VEROTEL, a safe, discreet and reliable biller, and our prices are set low to simply pay for our photographer and web designer, not to make a profit.

Hi there,
June Hellfire was full of much fetish fun, thanks to all who braved the weather to help us warm a chilly winters eve in the dirtiest way possible. Adonis blew everyone off the stage with her food-focused freakery, and while we’re not the Make a Wish Foundation, every now and then we like to grant special requests. So when a nineteen year old patron called Maggot wanted to wrestle in blood and guts (tofu and lube) on our stage for her birthday, we decided to make it happen. So if you have a special request, why not send us an email. You never know your luck. It helps of course if your request involves hot semi-nude young women wrestling in goo!

Happy Birthday Maggot!

See the sploshing here: http://hellfiresydney.com/blog/?p=1745

But let’s not linger in the past; I’m getting’ antsy in anticipation for the July party at The Hellfire Club on the 17th… as we’ve got lotsa surprise treats in store to rouse you from your winter slumbers and encourage you out of your house and into our home away from home.

We’ll tell y’all about the early show in the next email, but late show devotees will be pleased to hear what Ultra has in store for us:

Kira Carden from Sydney’s Hu-La-La will be returning to the Hellfire stage!

Kira is a Sydney-based circus burlesque performer. Her specialty is hoops. She has been working her glittery body through multiple rings for about seven years. She has just returned from a trip to the USA. Still singed from the heat of the Mojave Desert she will treat you to a tale on how the west was won, bucking and writhing in her hoops like a cowgirl riding bare back across the plains.

I am really looking forward to the return of Kira Carden… it’s really been too long. Her show may be about the wild, wild West but somehow as she jiggles in that shiny hooped ‘cage’, I find myself staring at her wild, wild breasts. Me bad. I blame those sexy House of Fetish costumes she wears so well. See her in one on the Hellfire Blog here: http://hellfiresydney.com/blog/?p=1725

With Sveta in the states and the boys snowed in to their Canberra bunker, we’ve got not one but two special guest DJs to get the dance floor firing to its usual frenzied state: all the way from Melbourne we welcome back one of the most amazing DJs we’ve ever heard – DJ Tokoloshe – up for a three-hour set of crazily eclectic tunes mixed with his trademark skill and precision. Take some time out to watch what he does sometime, doing things with laptops, decks and CDs that ubergeeks only dream of.

Mandy Rollins rejoins us to keep the residents flag flying, with heaps of new tracks to keep you amused, amazed and aroused – before we welcome a rather special transition from the audience to the DJ box.

You’ve probably seen him on our dance floor. His name is DJ Karl Anderson, and he’ll be doing his (virgin) set at Hellfire for our July Club Night. Read what he has to say below, and catch him in our illustrious box after 3.30am! We’re very keen to present one of our own patrons in an exciting switch from dancer to DJ! See a photo on the Hellfire Blog here: http://hellfiresydney.com/blog/?p=1711

DJ Karl writes: “I am so excited to play at Hellfire, having done my apprenticeship on the dance floor for many years, going way back to the Blackmarket days, listening to Sydney’s best DJs, I feel I know what Hellfire devotees want to hear.

My version of a closing set should mirror the general feeling at that time, in one word LUST!

I will give you a beat to grind to and a groove that will make you wet….

My style is dirty tech, always with a pounding bassline.

See you there as always, only this time time from the other side of the DJ booth.”

Make sure you’re in the running for the Sax Fetish DIY Encouragement Award of a $100.00 Sax voucher for the best homemade fetish fashions, read on for word on Meow Meow’s new show and we’ll see you on the 17th!

Whet your appetite with the full show lineup below, and prepare to dance your ass off too with some way cool new beats from Lanny K and Miss Yetti from 9:30pm until 1:30 am, then Mandy Rollins until chuck-out time

We’ve got not one, not two, but three sexy shows to stimulate all your senses:

Pole dancer, trapeze artist and burlesque performer Zahra makes magic with fire and ice. Inspired by witches, fairytales and make-believe, this ice maiden tells a story of sensation and desire.  Frosted in diamante snowflakes and silver wings, this frozen goddess melts when seduced by ice, and erupts from the eroticism of lascivious flames. In a love affair with the elements and the allure of magic wands, this snow princess whirls up spirals of heat and lust.

Check her out online at: http://www.myspace.com/rubyzahra

2. Maggot
Maggot (our sexy Miss January 2009  Hellfire Poster Girl http://hellfiresydney.com/blog/?p=1292 loves Hellfire and zombies. When asked what she wanted for her 19th birthday, her reply was: “I want to roll around in blood and guts at Hellfire!”

We love our customers and why should we deny such a twisted dream?

So, for your entertainment, Miss Maggot will be wrestling in blood and guts (lube and tofu) at midnight. Rest assured it will be messy AND sexy! Tasty, even for vegetarians. See the tasty Miss Maggot sans goo on the Hellfire blog here: http://hellfiresydney.com/blog/?p=1689 or get ready to get messy on Friday.

3. Adonis and Mr. Cheek in Ladette to Lady
They formed as a performance duo while slagging off in a pub brawl in 1983 and have not looked back since. Just waking up in the morning is a performance to them!

This vile duo make no hesitation to f**k, fight and eat, and when the three are combined they are at their very best! So come watch them soak it up, while you get wet at 1.30am on our June 2009 Club Night. See them on the Hellfire Blog: http://hellfiresydney.com/blog/?p=1698

Adonis first performed at Hellfire back in  May 2008, mashing banana between her curvaceous fishnet-clad butt cheeks. You can remind yourself of her performance here: http://hellfiresydney.com/blog/?p=1044

Mr Cheek is a Hellfire virgin!

Don’t forget to show yourself off to Ultra before midnight to be in the running for the long-running Sax Fetish DIY Encouragement Award of a $100.00 Sax voucher for the best homemade fetish fashions, and we look forward to seeing you there!

Cabaret Decadanse: Sexy adult… puppets?

17-20 June, Sydney Opera House Playhouse

Yes folks, you read it right. Puppets. For grown-ups. Ultra and I will be attending the Opening Night tonight, and after having seen these amazing puppeteers last year, we can highly recommend them. But hurry, as they’re only on for four nights!

“A puppet show for grown-ups that is funny, smart and very, very clever” – Drum Media

“There are many things you should see and do before you die. This is one of them.” – Australian Stage

Camp, cool, quirky and quintessentially Canadian, Cabaret Décadanse uses the universal language of music and movement to create a steamy, after-dark nightclub world of cabaret singers, transvestites, gigolos and dancers.

These three maestro puppeteer-dancers create a weightless ballet against a haunting musical backdrop. With few props and simple lighting, they skilfully manipulate the cast of colourful characters into a magical piece of mime, masque and puppetry.

“The ultimate puppet show for adults; sensual, surprising and hilarious” – Sunday Independent, Dublin

Serge Deslauriers, Andree-Anne Leblanc and Enock Turcotte use masks, marionettes and even a humble sock, sashaying seamlessly from puppet to puppet. Ingeniously brought to life, the huge personalities of the puppets raise the question: just who is manipulating who?

Instantly captivating and charming audiences across the globe, Cabaret Décadanse is also a treat for any music lover. The soundtrack mixes pop, blues, jazz and Broadway numbers including Gershwin’s Summertime, Fever, Hard Day’s Night and even Pussy Tourette’s classic I Think He’s Gay.

Cabaret Décadanse is glamorous and bawdy fun, a welcome escape that will transport you with delight.

“Think of Priscilla Queen of the Desert meets Moulin Rouge done with puppets and written by Pedro Almodovar, and you’re half-way there.” – Evening News, Edinburgh

Book online: http://www.sydneyoperahouse.com/whatson/cabaretdecadanse.aspx

Adults: $39
*Concessions: $34
