For 18 years, Montreal’s Fetish Weekend has been one of the “must see/must do” things when coming to our city. The sexy, shiny, leather and latex outfits, the erotic, the gothic and the curious all gather happily in one of the world’s friendliest kinky parties that takes place during labour day weekend. 

Unfortunately, Covid hit the city, and hit it hard.  Fetish Weekend had to be put on hold for two long agonizing years, and much like the rest of the city,  the festival is being rebuilt. The theme of this event, aptly titled – REBIRTH, will be like a Phoenix from the pandemic’s ashes, rising again in all its kinky glory!

Starting on September 1st to the 5th 2022, this festival is a myriad of workshops, discussion panels, social gatherings, dance parties, gala events and a photo walk through the city with a glorious air of pageantry of fashion forward fetish wear through the streets of Montreal. 

This year’s Fetish Weekend’s events will be remembered for their larger than life, all-inclusive, spectacularly theatrical dynamic celebrations which will surely set all kinky folk’s hearts ablaze, hosted in some of Montreal’s most iconic entertainment venues.

How my improv training meets BDSM

I am so very honoured to be co-hosting these events with my mentor and dear friend Simone Justice: a former professional Dominatrix, she has also been a BDSM educator for more than 20 years. A Member of the board of directors of DomCon LA and NOLA, she is also an inductee to the BDSM Hall Of Fame. 

She and I will also be teaching our respective courses on Friday September 2nd at Hotel Zero.  I will be teaching a class called:  Improv and BDSM – “how to get out of your head and fully into a scene”. 

“Through the examination and application of the basic rules of Improvisation, we will discover the elements of play, surrender and trust,  all of which are also the foundations of a successful and satisfying BDSM scene. Through the lens of Improv,  I will share a different perspective of spontaneity and flow, and how to break free of  our self-imposed rigid narrative kink structures that often keep us from being fully present in the moment.  And also, how to embrace failure boldly  and happily if and when it does happen. “

Other educators are Jane Boon (PhD) (Author of her eloquently kinky first novel: Edge Play)  and Mistress Malissia on BDSM and spirituality. 

A full afternoon of powerful, intelligent inspiring women await you! 

These and other events and schedules can be found on the Montreal Fetish Weekend Website – VIP passes are sold out but weekend passes and individual events are still available.

I hope to see you there!
