Thanks, Leah. Any more info will be appreciated.

Thanks, Leah.
Looks like everybody raves about Sasha's. Two more comments about it appear
below.
Tina has written a piece about the upcoming MFB which will appear in the
mailing this Sunday. I've enclosed a copy here. If anybody has anything to
add, please send it in.

Frontier Airlines price drop:
Frontier Airlines has just announced $106 round trip tickets from some
markets it serves to Las Vegas. This fare is real and bookable and is
valid over the DLV period. Travel must be made on Tuesday, Wednesday,
or Saturday. No flight restrictions, but seats may be limited.

Sasha's:

Sounds like a strong second for Sasha's. Thanks for the report.

Mail problems and Sasha's:
Mindy writes:

>there appears to be some decent traffic.. see if you can get it on to
>me..
I think this one is now corrected. I had the wrong address for you on the
golf list.
We have some strange problems on the main mail list as well. Everything to
sissify.com is still bouncing and one user at hotmail.com is not getting the
mailings even though we can show the hotmail receivers are accepting them
properly.
If anybody else is having any problems with any of the lists, please let
me know.
>went to sasha's tonight and it kicks ass.. nice deocor.. decent prices,
>full bar.. definite add to on the list.. i am gonna get some pics and
>add to my page..
Sounds like a third thumbs-up for Sasha's here.

Some Metamorphosis notes:
(This will appear in the regular DLV mailing this Sunday. Thanks, Tina. :)
Tina sends in these notes about the upcoming Metamorphosis:
>First, let me say that I have attended many fetish events over the
>years. I travel frequently because of work, and have lost count of the
>number of times I have attended weekly fetish parties over the years
>like Bound in DC and Abby Ehmann's Gomorrah in NYC, and annual events
>like the Texas Latex Ball and Houston HPEP's S&M Ball #9 (this weekend
>in Houston for those of you on the move).
>Some are pure fetish fashion (latex, leather, and all sorts of erotic
>and often skimpy clothing in-between), while others have more of an
>S&M (sadism and masochism) orientation where significant bondage and
>pain scenes are the main focus and fashion is secondary. Personally,
>I like both types of parties, but they certainly aren't everybody's
>cup of tea.
>Second, let me say that I know next to nothing about Metamorphosis
>because it is *brand new*. The first one hasn't even happened yet! It
>will occur during the 1st weekend of April. The 2nd one is scheduled
>for the 1st weekend of May, during DLV. It's a monthly party.
>I do like a couple of things about the way that they are organizing it.
>I like the fact that they are keeping its location secret to discourage
>looky-loos (vanilla type gawkers). That's also smart advertising
>practice on the part of the party organizers. Increased mystery
>increases its cachet. Banning cameras is smart, if it's enforced.
>Putting a limit on the number of single males is a good idea also, if
>it's enforced. Music is usually that thumping dance music called house
>(used to be techno or industrial or bass and drums, or any of various
>other genre names). It's fun to dance to.
>I've never been to one that didn't have a bar, unless they allowed full
>nudity, like the S&M clubs in NYC like Vault and Hellfire. I am sure
>that Metamorphosis is not that kind of party. They were very explicit
>in their ad copy about no sexual contact.
>I've read the descriptive material about Metamorphosis, and it sounds
>more like the typical couples fashion fetish party, where the crowd is
>typically hetero and young 20's, usually thin, often with a heavy
>sprinkling of Goth kids. (Doesn't sound like a typical DLV
>demographic, which is why I was planning to skip it, but I know some
>DLV girls will find it fascinating.) Again, pure speculation on my
>part, based on the crowds I see at other fetish parties in other
>cities. An interesting question will be if they pull in more
>fashionable 30's and 40's types from the casino scene.
>I will say that typically the number of t* girls at these types of
>parties is very, very small. I have always felt welcome, but have
>usually attended singly which made me something of a novelty, helping
>me strike up conversations more easily. (And I often attend the ones
>that have a BDSM bent because I would be participating actively in
>those activities and you usually have to be a regular to fit into that.
>I don't think you'll see that at Metamorphosis anyway.) If you attend
>Metamorphosis with a big gaggle of DLV girls, you will have to make an
>effort to mingle, rather than just standing around in a big group.
>I would expect it to last until 4 AM, but again, it's brand new, so who
>knows?
>>Is this the same as the Dressed To Thrill ball they had there last year?
>No. Definitely not. Dressed To Thrill is a copyrighted name owned by
>Mistress Antoinette of Versatile Fashions, a major supplier of fetish
>fashion wear. She started and sponsors the annual Dressed to Thrill
>Fetish Fashion Ball held annually in Las Vegas. Versatile's showroom
>is in Orange, CA. (I note that their Anaheim showroom is listed as
>temporarily closed.) Dressed To Thrill is usually either in May or
>June, but I don't see any announcements about it this year so far. See
?http://www.versatilefashions.com/ and http://www.ms-antoinette.com/
>(this 2nd is a pay site, but you can browse a few Dressed To Thrill
>pictures from previous years for free, if you click deep enough). One
>special thing about Dressed To Thrill, besides the absolutely gorgeous
>clothes is the total acceptance of all things GLBT there.
>By the way, Versatile does advertise on their home page as being a
>t-friendly company, and I have always found them so when shopping with

>a little pricy, but you get what you pay for.,
