RECOMMENDED Kinky. Deviant. Fun. Vinyl, leather, whips and chains are all welcome during tonight’s French Kiss Fetish Night. The night features a fetish costume contest with a $100 cash prize, fetish cartoons, ice sculptures, art and music performances. Hosts JoJo (Boom Boom Room) and CT bring high style to the night, electronic dance bands Echo9 and Perfect Kiss perform live sets and DJs Trancid (Dark Wave Disco), Mr. Bobby and Akira spin industrial, electro and new-wave dance tracks. If you’re a fan of Depeche Mode, sex and black, you’ll be right at home at this event. So be sure reach deep into your closet and find your bedroom-best, and prepare yourself for a night of over stimulation. (Hilary Rawk) Friday, January 18 at Smart Bar
