TES Presents: The Fet Gala Play Party Glamour, fashion, and none of the annoying paparazzi! Why should celebrities have all the fun? Get ready for “fetish’s biggest night out”! Come join us on Saturday, April 28th as we walk the red carpet in our finest leathers, latex, and more at this freaky fetish fundraiser! Dress your best, and prove that the only thing better than charitable giving is looking great doing it! For the third year in a row, Operation Hammond is returning to TES Fest! But traveling the country providing on site first aid and medical support to conventions isn’t easy, and they need $1500 for a new van to get them to events like ours. Which is why we’ll be holding a special raffle to the raise funds for them! We’ve collected an array of toys, fetishwear, and more, all generously donated by vendors from this year’s Fetish Flea, and we’ll be raffling them off exclusively to you! It’s a great chance to snag some fantastic items from some of the best vendors around, so bid generously! More information on the raffle is coming soon, so keep checking back. And of course, no red carpet event would be complete without a red carpet interview! So don your finest fetish attire (however you define it), and join us at 10pm for a kinky ice-breaker game we’re calling “Who are you wearing?”! We’ll take turns showing off our favorite best attire, and maybe catching the eye of someone special! But that’s not all. Join us for our pre-party munch at the Bread and Butter Café from 7:30-9pm. The munch is a GREAT way to meet people in a low-key, non-kinky setting.
