Newsletter - 4th August 2006
Dear subscribers,
There are only a few days left before the next London Alternative Market;
we're busy (as ever!) putting the finishing touches to the event. Several new stalls this month provide shopping
opportunities for even more choices in exciting clothing and shoes as well as new toys and other devious delights:
- Curvessence — Custom corsetry and clothing for the beautiful to
burlesque, kinky to curvy.
- Madame Di
Amante — Gothic/Cyber alternative clothing and accessories, and body jewellery.
- foxxxloves — New Stockings, buzzy toys & end of line bargains. New and Nearly-new
hats, fetish kit & clothing, Spank Magazines etc — Interesting things at interesting prices.
- IconShoes —
High heel shoes for shoe lovers and dancers.
- JBW's Dungeon Clearance - a variety of items at bargain prices, everything must go (to good
homes preferably).
- My Lady's Crepes and the Deviant Diner will be providing sustenance on the
gallery level as usual. New summer treats have been added to the usual menu and (of course!) you can relax and
enjoy the great photography and
art displays while you eat.
As always, there is a packed schedule for the day:
- 11am — Doors open.
- 12:30pm — LAM workshop. The 4th LAM workshop, focussing on rope bondage, is hosted
by Music Lover of M L accessories. Entry to this is included in the LAM ticket and handouts will be available. The workshop will
illustrate the Do's and Don'ts of playing with rope.
- 2pm — there will be a live play scene on stage; the organiser has asked that the details
be kept secret until just before the session so that the star does not know what to expect. The
pair of crew members who know the details will be making sure not to miss it!
- 4pm — we will be welcoming back John Pendal from the Spanner Trust to give us an
update on the trust's activities.
- After John — the community cause's raffle draw will take place.
- 6pm — LAM closes; till next month, of course!
This month, the following prizes are up for grabs in the cause's raffle:
- An A4 original personal portrait in either water colour or pencil sketch (the winner's choice and up to the
value of £300) donated by Tracie of TracieArt.com
who will work from a photograph to recreate the image for you.
- A pair of tickets to Club
Subversion.
- £30 shopping voucher to spend at the LAM with Impact Edge.
- £30 shopping voucher to spend at the LAM with Pretty Pervy.
- £25 shopping voucher to spend at the LAM donated by the
LAM crew.
The LAM has, after only 5 events, raised over
£2600 for scene-based community causes. So you can feel really good about having a great day
out while also providing real support to our community. The LAM crew
would like to express sincere thanks to all those who have attended the events to date and helped raise this amazing
sum, particularly the traders and London clubs who provide raffle prizes!
The LAM After-Market Party is going from strength to strength and
offers a great atmosphere for people to continue socialising and also an opportunity to test new purchases while
having access to quality equipment.
We look forward to seeing you this coming Sunday 6th August 2006 and again the month
after (Sunday 3rd September), when the supported cause will be the Sexual Freedom
Coalition. They will be announcing raffle prizes in due course.
Regards,
