You are talking about the Skin Two Expo that used to be on at the Barbican. This event was annual and hasn't been on for a couple of years in this format. Primarily, it got too expensive for the venues, hosts and businesses to make it viable.

Many companies offer bespoke made floggers to your own weight and style... but this does however depend on the money you wish to spend and the quality of the piece you expect to receive.

Yes I can imagine it would have been being in a huge hall. But they did have interesting things like stainless steel flogging racks and bigger items.

I need to check out the bespoke floggers - it's a bit iffy though, as one was loaned to me to flog someone's girl and he borrowed it from someone else - gods only know what it was made from and the number of falls...it was lovely indeed, though. :-D

We popped in early on Sunday for our first LFF visit. We had a specific reason for attending and dealt with that straight away and then had a quick look round before nilla demands meant we had to leave. It was quiet but bearing in mind the time of year and the time we went that isn't suprising.

There was a good atmosphere, the tea and coffee was good and cheap, there were places to sit down and the store holders had time to talk.

We have been to the BBB but never to the LAM so our judgement will be based on comparing solely with the BBB. It was smaller and quieter - yes holiday time - but there was a range of products available so if you are in London on the appropriate Sunday it is probably worth popping down to see if there is anything you want, have a cuppa and a quick flog. I'm sure it got busier later but we couldn't stay.

Was it a disappointment - depends on what you were expecting surely?

But I'd be interested to see if anyone else feels the same or perhaps I'm just expecting too much!

Might this one not have been the Expo or the Xpo, both of which were much, much bigger events? Or perhaps a market which was part of either the Skin Two Weekend or the London Fetish Weekend?

That's quite possible actually when I think about it, so yeah... I stand corrected. However, I have to say I still stand by what I said about this event. It seems that I'm in the minority though, so it's good that most people seem to have got a lot out of it. Everybody likes different things I guess. :)

It was our first time at LFF (Sir and I) and we were impressed by the amount of stalls, compared to LAM.

We stayed to play in the dungeon, but I would like to ask a question if I may.

Even though it was not busy on Sunday and we played quite comfortably out by the bar and in the Dungeon, will it not be too crowded once the holiday season is over.

I noticed someone had moved some dungeon furniture out by the bar (stocks) to make more room for them to use.

Does this happen later after the stalls have left? As I thought it would be a little cramped especially when trying to use floggers, whips etc....

The last thing that is wanted is someone getting hurt.

Does furniture get moved for easy access to play?

The furniture is in the end arch as a dungeon during the day for play. It does not generally get too crowded during the daytime as only one or two people tend to play at a time.

In the evening when the stalls have packed down some of the smaller pieces of furniture are moved out into the next arch so there is a lot more space to use it and play. And for more domination style scenes a lot of people tend to use the seating areas and the rest of the venue.

Dagmar and I gave Sharon a jolly good flogging in the dungeon and the Hostess is always gracious and welcoming. Quite why anyone would need tatty old paperbacks sold by Fat Drunk Frump remains a mystery...
