The FAQs on the Texas Fetish Ball Web site have some questions/answers you rarely see anywhere else: ย“May we bring a toy bag?ย” Answer: ย“Absolutely! There will be a full dungeon setup provided by E.R.O.S (Erotic Rose Society), Whip Society and other members of the community.ย” If youย’re wondering what kind of a community, well, keep in mind the event is hosted by sexy retailer Dare Ware ย— known for its naugh-tay supply of lingerie, costumes and sex-enhancing paraphernalia. Besides the dungeon, the ball will include cabaret-style theatrics, latex, music performances, foxy fire breathers and, for the not-easily-made-queasy crowd, suspension demonstrations with folks hoisted up by hooks piercing their torso ย— both above and below the belt. Whatever your threshold, the fun (?) starts at 8:30 p.m. Meridian, 1503 Chartes. For information, call 713-953-9393 or visit www.texasfetishball.com. $25 to $55.
