Story by Kathrine Lynx

What do you do when you've overpaid a band and realize you need money to cover your costs? If you're Maria Wade, you create the Detroit Erotica Ball.

Spawned four years ago, created in just three weeks, the Erotica Ball opened Wade's eyes to a new world. "I had a friend who was a photographer who knew a bit about that world, and I gave him a call and he helped me get in touch with the right people," she explains. The initial concept for the Ball stemmed from the people in the erotica world. Noticing the beauty they encompassed, along with their benevolence, Wade was drawn in. "I can't even explain. There's no prejudice in that world. I've watched people from all creeds ... come together in one room and I've never seen a confrontation. Everyone treats each other with the greatest respect and you see nothing but smiling faces the whole night," Wade gushes.

That first year, the Erotica Ball saw 1,000 attendees. This year, Wade is expecting people to come, not only from out of state, but also from out of the country.

The Provocative Art of Fuzzytek @ DEB 4

2010-09-30T09:15:00.000-04:00

Fuzzytek is going through photos taken over the past five years to select those to be used for artwork at the show. Some will be original photos and others available as prints.

Limited Edition Prints Available

2010-09-30T08:22:00.000-04:00

Are you interested in getting your hands on a limited edition print of advertising posters used for past Detroit Erotica Ball events? Your first opportunity to get your hands on one will be at the Fourth Annual Detroit Erotica Ball on Saturday, October 9. Only 25 prints of each poster are going to be made available. Each will be signed and numbered by the graphics artist and photographer for the piece. Price per poster will be $75.

There are several posters available - the one depicted was used as the main poster for the 2nd Annual Detroit Erotica Ball.

If you know how the event has been growing from year to year, you'll see that this is an opportunity that very well may create a sold-out set of prints with none remaining after the event. If you are unable to make it to the event and wish to place a reservation on a print the price is $125.

Please contact stephen@fuzzytek.com regarding purchase and shipping arrangements for advance reservations.

Fetish Fashion Outfit Contest

2008-09-30T06:05:00.009-04:00

Halloween parties are known for costume contests, yet this isn't exactly a Halloween party. So we are stepping it up a notch and inviting fetish fashion designers and the like to create fetish fashion outfits for an on-stage contest.

Each contest team will have the ability to design and place on stage a mini-fashion show of their work. Up to three models can present your work for a minute per model. Bring them all on at once for a quick stage tease, or walk them out runway style - its up to you.

Judging will be based on these criteria:

Originality of outfits - 35%
Quality of outfits - 35%
Stage presentation - 20%
Team outfit coordination - 10%

As you can see we are seeking something more than tissue paper or burlap wrapped around a model. Get funky, wild, suggestive, and playful. Remember we can't have explicit lewd behaviour on stage - teasing is great and FUN! Music coordination during your segment will be discussed at rehearsal (see below).

Contest Entry

Entrance fee to be in the show is $30 for one outfit plus $10 per additional outfit. That really isn't much more than paying the advance ticket price for each person coming into the show.

Your team must have a designated stage coordinator who will be present for one rehearsal prior to the show and on-site the night of the show by 10:00pm. Rehearsal times will be presented to all contest entrants ASAP upon receipt of entrance fee.

Prizes

The money collected from entrance fees will be the prize with half the money collected going to our first place contestant, and runner-up getting one quarter of the collected contest fees. So if we have 10 entries of one outfit that is a potential $150 first prize.

Since we have a tight stage schedule we have to request entry fee to be in the contest is paid by October 13, 2008. There will be rehearsals scheduled each week, so the sooner you are entered the more opportunities your team has to meet with us and know the stage and contest better.

Submit Your Entry

Please email the number of outfits you will be placing in the show, your coordinator's phone number, and payment arrangements. We accept payment via PayPal to SilentPartnersNetwork@gmail.com (include payment note indicating for Fetish Fashion Contest) or by check to Silent Partners Network, P.O. Box 66453, Roseville, MI 48066. If you have questions please call Stephen at 248-632-6156 or email fuzzytek@submissivetales.com.
