Inquisition XVI :: Sydney Leather Pride 2008

Sydney Leather Pride Week 2008 will kick off this Saturday. The week’s crowning event is Inquisition XVI to be held in The Dome and The Forum at Entertainment Quater. This theme for this year’s party is ‘Pleasuredome’; A dark and joyous celebration of all included in the leather lifestyle.
The Dome is the spiritual home of Inquisition that people outside leather group will never understand. We remember the ‘meat lockers’, troughman, sweat dripping down the columns, the throbbing mass of sweaty bodies with wicked delight. The Forum will be for those ‘that can’t take the heat’, being more relaxed and social but still with fabulous music.
