The Hellfire Club Grrl Power Edition Friday May 16th | Gallery Serpentine Girdles | XS | & more…
This post was written by UltraHi there,
The May edition of The Hellfire Club is going to be totally XX-rated, with all-grrl DJs and performers all night, celebrating the femme fatales, mistresses, vamps, tramps, sluts, goddesses, whores, loose women and dirty grrls who’ve made the club so different, so special over so many years.
DJ Sveta will be hitting the Hellfire decks at 1.30am, hot on the back of our sexy resident DJ Mandy Rollins playing an epic 4-hour set from 9.30pm-1.30am. Ultra caught up with Sveta briefly and asked her whether she was excited about playing Hellfire, and she replied:
“It’s always a special night for me when I get to play at Hellfire. I’ve been playing on and off at the party for close to 14 years and love seeing all the regulars and all the new faces that pop up. I look forward to a night of dirty beats and even dirtier displays in the crowd.â€
And the shows?
At 11:30pm: Blonde and bodacious Wendy Dys, curator of the Studio Kirk Gallery last appeared at Hellfire in January 2007. Since that time she’s been in Beijing for the second anniversary of Vogue magazine; as well as performing on a giant free-standing aerial tripod which Coke snapped up for their Future Music Festival and for Good Vibrations! According to Wendy: “standing eight meters off the ground and hanging from your neck from the tripod is what I think the art of pain is about†… and for her show at Hellfire she’ll be giving us a miniature (and more kinky- sensual) version of her Coke show.
Wendy writes: “Watch as I go through the pain of hanging, tying and balancing the art of pain. I am ready to show you all the pleasure and pain of the aerial arts. I am proud to be showing you this at the greatest club in town, Hellfire!â€
Check out some photos of her on the Lira (or hoop) here: http://hellfiresydney.com/blog/?p=1024
Then at 1:30am:
Leaping from the depths of a strong, ice-cold cocktail, Vesper White is the latest bump and grinding beauty to hit Australia. As a young lass she was trained in ballet and theatre, and now as the youngest addition to Sydney’s growing burlesque scene at only nineteen years old, her curves and moves will knock the living daylights out of you!
With the charm and cheek of a Tease-a-rama girl, the raw energy of Bettie Page and the heart-stopping hip-grind of the Chicago State Fair exotics, Vesper is one dark hip-shaking, home-wrecking, heartbreaker. She has been performing continually in the Sydney circuit since August with Sugartime, 34B and Black Cherry, along with several other band performances, most notably Zombie Ghost Train and Sparkadia. After sharing her wiggle at the Live08 Festival in Melbourne in February, Miss White has most recently returned from Queensland’s Garterbelts and Gasoline Kustom show and the Central Coast’s The Village show.
Lately, a more sinister side of Vesper has evolved, and she has begun to share her delight in all things fetish! Her love of nylons, Japanese rope bondage and closet skeletons have made themselves evident in her latest work; a dark exploration of escaping self indulgence, breaking her bonds of the clean cut pin-up and embracing a more satisfying form of fetish. Hellfire will be seeing a sly, electrically charged Houdini act of the most delicious rope order at 1.30am at our May 2008 Club Night on Friday 16th May.
See Vesper in her full glory on the Hellfire Blog here: http://hellfiresydney.com/blog/?p=1019
For the boys who may get more than a little jealous at all these displays of the undeniable superiority of the female gender, there’s always Brandy’s Wicked Doll Transformation Parlour that will help you find and flaunt your inner femme for the night. Payment is by donation, and you won’t recognise yourself after Brandy and her genderfunking slaves have finished with you!
And as always, there’s the $100.00 SAX Fetish DIY Fetish Encouragement Award on offer for those who are just stepping out into the fetish fantasy fashion world, generously donated by our always-gorgeous sponsors. Home-made and DIY outfits are what we are rewarding here, so make sure you catch Ultra or myself before 11:30pm to be in the running for this great prize.
There’s lots more reading in store below, including hot foundation garment action from our friends at Gallery Serpentine, a wrap-up of the first Hellfire XS play party and a really heart-warming letter from someone who came to the club for the first time last month. All worth a look, and I hope to see you at The Hellfire Club on Friday May 16th.
Cheers
Master Tom

Get Girdled: @ Gallery Serpentine
Ultra reports: The girls at Gallery Serpentine have been telling me about a new range of very good quality girdles and other control undergarments they have due in imminently in as an exclusive from a New York based firm called Rago http://www.ragoshapewear.com
They have been manufacturing quality shape wear for centuries and if you have a chance, take a look at their website – you’ll see just how good the quality is!
CHECK OUT PHOTOS of them HERE: http://hellfiresydney.com/blog/?p=1017
I think that these new girdles look amazing, particularly the open bottom girdles, and I can’t wait to see them on the corseted silhouette of a glamorous plus-size girl. But here’s the catch – they’ve only got a couple in (all of them are black or black/pink) in the following sizes:
Size 4X (approx Australian size 20)
Size 3X (approx Australian size 18)
Size XL (approx Australian size 14)
My two favourite pieces are the Burlesque Girdle which can even be worn as a skirt on its own – cheeky, flirty and a touch risque… perfect for your night at Hellfire! But I also love the Garter Belt which is of the same very high quality and provides firm hold around the abdomen!
The prices range from $110 to $175, but if you’d like more information, make your enquiry to the Enmore shop directly on gssydney@nightmachines.net
If you hurry, you can be among the first lucky curvaceous ladies to GET GIRDLED at Gallery Serpentine in store!

Feedback #1: The Hellfire Club
We got this thank you email in after our April 2008 Club Night, and we were so impressed we asked if we could share it with you all. Thank you to the welcoming patrons who helped make Sam have such a nice first Hellfire!
Hi to the lovely group at Hellfire,
I finally made it to Hellfire! My apologies for not been able to talk to you. I was a bit immobile as a crossdresser with my high heels!
I went to the Uber open house and Miss Dee brought me over to Hellfire. I think I met everyone I met at Uber at Hellfire and they helped me get around. I was very comfortable with the people I met at Hellfire. Dressed as a women, I was expecting to be approached by men and not women. I expected to get a few dirty looks as a Crossdresser, many usually do. It was the exact opposite! All I got is looks of acceptance, smiles and friendly Hellos, and for sure…’ Wow’ looks! I was admired by the women more than the men and yes I love to mingle with the ladies because I am a ladies man (or a woman in this case!).
Of course a guy was so kind to help me out when I lost a shoe! I did enjoy the comments I got from some of the girls who spoke to me while I was walking around. Not to forget one of the girls at the bar who admired my jewellery. My jewellery seemed to be a hit. Although I considered it to be a bit outrageous, it appeared to be a hit among the girls. My dress was also admired. One girl just couldn’t believe I got the bangles at GoLo for $3 for 50! I had an arm full of them. One actually went through my rings one by one. I got hugs and kisses. Someone admired my necklace. It was a night to remember and one that I couldn’t believe I went through as this was the very first time in my life I went out dressed. It’s a fetish that I have had for many years. I enjoyed watching the few bondage sessions.
To end it all, when I left Hellfire, I was a bit cautious walking to the road to catch a cab and as I was looking around a young girl in a group of 4 (guys and girls) introduced herself to me and I just mentioned I am looking for someone to walk me up to the road. She made a public announcement to her friends and they all walked up to the road and she even insisted that she holds onto me for fear of falling over although she did say I am doing well in my heels. One of the guys walked across the road and stopped a cab for me and even told the driver where to take me. And I wish I’d met them before or that I’ll meet them again!
I’ve been living in Oz for 7 years and never ever in my life have strangers gone out of their way to be so helpful and caring. It was a night to remember, not forgetting my sore feet! I better look at a low heel shoe!!
You are doing a good job with Hellfire! It’s a unique place and the people are so very friendly. I sure wish you all the very best. Oh yes I will be back again! Not necessarily dressed as a woman… but who knows?
Cheers, Sam.
Now that’s the true Hellfire spirit. Whoever the good Samaritans were, we thank you very much!

Feedback #2: Hellfire XS
Our first Hellfire XS night at u b e r was a roaring success! We’re still recovering, but looking back very happily on a wild night spent in the company of a really lovely crowd.
80 budding players joined us at this great inner-city fetish venue for a truly wild night of play, play and more play. I saw so many things going on in so many areas, the memories are still cascading back.
We had great prize packs to give away for interesting play scenes, partially thanks to our beautiful sponsors at SAX Fetish, and it was really difficult to decide who should receive them. Floggings, piercings and all kinds of things (that your email filter would block if I mentioned them) were occurring in such diverse abundance that it really was hard.
But the best part was how damn nice a crowd it was. No attitude, no cynicism, just a refreshingly open and friendly crew who talked, met strangers and played like there was no tomorrow. We’ve begun to receive some equally lovely feedback from it too. Only the names have been shortened to protect the not-so-innocent-anymore:
Hello Ultra and Tom,
Just wanted to thank you for a fantastic night at Uber! My name is T (I was in the tartan skirt, school girl tie and corset).
L and I had a fabulous night and next time will bring lots more play (real ) friends… Great space… Good toys and lots of fun to be had !
We had a lovely time as the crowd had no attitude (unlike a lot of other BDSM places) And I had a ball on the A -frame!
Thanks again! Happy spankings both giving and receiving.
T
…and here’s another happy camper;
Dear Ultra (and Master Tom)
Hellfire XS on Saturday night was great. What a great bunch of sexy, kinky people. Thank you very much for organising it.
See you soon at Hellfire.
Respectfully,
L x
So thanks to all who came, all who worked on it and the great crew from u b e r for having us (quite literally, in some cases!), and we look forward to the next one.
It will be held on Saturday 30th August, and we are offering priority booking to those who made this first one such a joy. Once they have had a chance to respond, the rest of the tickets will be offered to everyone else, subject to the usual application process.
More details to follow soon!

Dear Ultra & Master Tom,
This was our first time to HellFire and what a night it was. We were a little nervous at first, but by the end of the night we had met a lot of great people and done things that totally blew us away. Looking forward to the next one.
