FRIENDSHIP FASHION FUN
Consensual play is most welcome and we have play areas on all 3 main weekend event locations.
L’orage has policies that may vary from night to night and, for sure, I am certain that unaccompanied males are not allowed on the couples night but I am also certain that single males are allowed freely on our co-produced Sunday Publique Disgrace as long as they have a VIP ticket or pass.
Same goes for Friday night at Club L, a venue that specifically does not allow unaccompanied males except on the MFW LTX Lust & Lace when carrying VIP pass or ticket single males are allowed.
Our events are 50/50 dance and play — All event 3 main weekend events have DJs but all three main event locations have VIP dedicated areas with either no dj or low volume ambiance conducive to play or talk.
Our website policy is a basic guideline (supplanted by the individual venues such as L’Orage and Club L which, clearly, allow more advanced interactive play..
All our partners are included in our calendar of activities based on their principles of openness. Our aim from the get go (1995) was and remains to build awareness and bridges of communication between different alt lifestyle factions and age groups (not always easy when you have an 18 to 78 age group participants).
Younger attendees can be challenging but we make new efforts to work with leaders of their communities in order to create a vibrant and welcoming event. Our street fair happenings allows for daylight activities that are free and open to everyone, bringing various communities together.
It has been quite an amazing journey so far and we at team MFW sincerely hope our event will bring everyone joyful magical moments of self discovery, sharing or iderals and passion.
