Fetish Dress Code

News posted February 28, 2024 / No Comments

The fetish dress code is one of the most important parts of Sin City! It guarantees that each and every person is part of the party themselves, and not just an onlooker. It also is a safeguard meaning every attendee has met a minimum level of effort to attend the party, resulting in a highly dynamic, totally safe, ultra fun kinky party atmosphere, with a sea of eye candy and people casting aside their inhibitions and partying like hell!

No effort = no entry, no exceptions.

Don’t make us turn you away at the door!

Highly encouraged attire :

Acceptable outfits include but are certainly not limited to the following options :

• vinyl / PVC / rubber / latex
• leather / straps / chaps
• bondage
• full-on fetish-goth / fetish-punk / fetish-cyber
• fancy tailcoats / full tuxedo
• FULL fetish military or fetish uniform (not just cargos!)
• fantasy or period fetish costume
• furry / sex kitten
• armour / chain mail
• drag / cross-dress
• body paint
• fancy lingerie
• any other risque costume your perverted little mind can dream up … but please, not ‘just underwear!’

Preferred accessories :

• whips
• crops
• handcuffs
• wrist restraints
• bondage belts
• sexy leggings
• killer footwear…

Going topless is totally fine!

Hell, we were voted Best Place To Dance Topless for a reason, but please be aware lower genital nudity is not permitted anywhere in the venue.

NOT ACCEPTABLE :

The following clothing types and items are not acceptable fetish wear :

• plain jeans of any type or colour unless part of a larger acceptable ensemble costume (e.g. full leather chaps over blue jeans)
• plain cargo or camo pants or shorts
• plain briefs / plain boxers
• pajamas / onesies
• plain t-shirts (this includes skull / flame / band t-shirts)
• plain silk or dress shirts
• plain dress pants
• plain fabric suits of any kind
• plain work clothes
• cheesey non-kinky Halloween-type costumes (NO Mario / banana / gorilla type costumes!!!)

ABSOLUTELY NO STREET OR CASUAL WEAR

If what you are wearing wouldn’t draw a second look on the street or in a normal mainstream bar, it’s probably not going to pass dress code.

Please note that our dress code is stricter than other nights!

Once more for emphasis :

Plain fabric suits of any kind as a base for an outfit will not pass dress code.

If you are with a group of friends who are dressed fetish and you are not, you will not get in.

The determination of our dress code staff at the door is final – if you have not planned for the dress code accordingly and are turned away, please take the situation with grace and come back more properly prepared next time!

The effort is absolutely worth it, as a 100% full fetish party is a vibe like no other.

Looking for suggestions of where to shop for possible outfits?

Check our list of suggestions here! We have an extensive listing of many local shops which carry fetish wear, complete with reviews and photos.

A word regarding several common problem grey areas:

That cocktail, cabaret, vintage or rockabilly dress, though lovely, will NOT get you in on its own, with or without a fedora, hat or hairpiece. While we love, support, and often drool over our friends who are performers in the burlesque scene, this is not a burlesque night, and the Sin City dress code is stricter than other nights in this regard! As with all outfits, it must still be styled sexy / fetish / kinky in some way beyond just being classy and looking good.

“Stripping Down” is NOT acceptable fetish wear on its own. Passing the Sin fetish dress code is about what you ARE wearing that is fetish, not about how much you take off. If you are not wearing anything fetish underneath, no amount of stripping down will get you past the dress code if all it leaves is plain boxers or underwear. While we love seeing people going bare as they dare, and this is the most fun party in the city to do so, please make sure it is leaving some kind of base outfit, however small, that still passes the dress code!

Plain or band t-shirts are not acceptable fetish wear! T-shirts with skulls, flames or a cool band logo will NOT pass dress code. Plain black t-shirts with a graphic directly depicting fetish art or a fetish phrase (e.g. ‘Sinner’) will just BARELY pass the dress code, but to be frank, this is normally something reserved for staff who sometimes have to go outside and deal with the public outside of the venue, or for first-timers to the event. We highly encourage people to invest in a top more involved than just a t-shirt! Trust us, you’ll be glad you did, and the attention you get will make it worth it!

Plain camo or cargo pants or shorts don’t cut it! These items alone do not constitute a fetish outfit. They can certainly be PART of one, but not on their own. Military gear is some of the cheapest and easiest out there to source, so it takes very little extra effort to dress up further with options and accessories such as military boots, military suspenders, shirts, dog tags, hats and helmets, goggles, gloves, vests, tool and gun harnesses, bullet belts…the list goes on and on! Or, even better, go for a full military dress uniform. Guys and girls alike love it and you will be one of the best dressed people in the room!

Costumes will not be permitted entry unless styled fetish! While Sin City stages several large, full-scale and well-loved themes through the year such as Medical, Corset and Military, all costumes must still be styled fetish regardless of the costume theme. This policy is in effect at every event, regardless of theme.

Goth, industrial and punk looks will not be permitted entry unless styled fetish! Again, we cannot stress enough, all outfits must still be styled fetish no matter what.

See you there, SINNERS! 😉

DEC 30 VENUE CHANGE INFO

News posted December 22, 2023 / No Comments

SIN CITY DEC 30 YEAR ENDER PARTY
VENUE CHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT!
WE ARE MOVING TO THE WALDORF
3+ ROOMS OF KINK PLAY & DANCING
90% SOLD OUT, 400+ EXPECTED

Please read this important announcement fully regarding our end of year event for all the details!

In short – our original planned venue for our big year end party at THE VAULT – has unexpectedly had to go on an unplanned hiatus from operations due to some roadblocks with the city regarding their business license. They are working with full co-operation with the city and we have no doubts they will be fully up and running again before long! We are well used to these kind of hurdles – as many people will remember, we went through this ourselves when we opened our own venue, our queer, kink & electronic arts & music community hub called CENTRAL STUDIOS just before the pandemic, which sadly had to close down due to the extended lockdown. We have been working with VAULT closely since they started up and are lending our full support while they get back on track! We have been working to get other options in place but had hoped things might change with our original venue, but as of today, we unfortunately officially have to announce we will be relocating this event to the WALDORF!

There was a very real chance our last big bash of the year might have to be cancelled, and it is a bit of a miracle and the result of our long standing golden reputation with venues that we were able to secure another multi-room 400+ capacity venue, on short notice, to keep this event happening! These types of venues are hugely rare in Vancouver, so we are absolutely overjoyed that we can still all get together to kiss 2023 goodbye with one last raunchy rager, before we usher in the New Year!

Fetish events are all about pushing boundaries and encouraging people to get out of their comfort zone and explore their wild side! We are all about curating places where people can indulge in what could be considered risky behaviour, but as safely and responsibly as possible. Some of our DJs are yearly residents at German Fetish Ball and KitKat Club in Berlin, and through our ongoing efforts as event organizers in Vancouver for over 22 years, we have worked to help change the perspective of the city authorities in regards to the fetish scene, to work towards a greater acceptance of kink events, both culturally and legally, and grow our scene towards the possibilities we see around the world, in areas with less restrictions than Vancouver. We will take things right to the edge of what is legal at venues, and work towards everyone be allowed to take them even further!

But what we don’t do is cross the line and knowingly contribute to putting a business’s license at risk, or knowingly put our kink community in a situation where they may be nervous about the legality of the event, or have any fear or reprisal from any authorities or the surrounding neighbourhood. That is simply not us. We always work to foster long term relationships with venues, and present our community in a way that will be welcomed wherever our gatherings take us!

THE WALDORF has been home to our last two major Sin City events – Halloween and Christmas – with both those events having an amazing energy and vibe! Another event actually had to be relocated to make space for us, so this was a real feat finding all our Sinners not just a replacement venue, but one we know suits our parties unbelievably well!

NO DRESS CODE IN MAIN ROOMS
FETISH DRESS CODE IN KINK PLAY ROOM

Normally our Sin City events are 100% fetish dress required to enter the party in general. But, we are keeping the warehouse vibe for our end of year party, and our two main rooms of DJs and dancing are no dress code for this particular party. This is a rare chance to bring out some friends or newbies who have wanted to come but maybe aren’t quite comfortable with the fetish dress code yet! Everyone is of course encouraged to let their wild side out and dress up though, or course!!!

The kink play room remains fetish dress code required to enter. If you want full access to ALL areas of the party, you still must dress up sexy / risqué / pervy / kinky in some way!

Note that at our original venue, the second room of DJs was also in the fetish dress code required zone. The change of venue means that now the second room of dancing is also accessible by everyone in the no dress code zone!

6 DJs – SEXY POLE DANCE SHOWS – EXTRA SOUND & LIGHT INSTALLATIONS

We are going ALL OUT with some serious extra installations to bring the vibe even further way way up to celebrate this past year of get togethers with our amazing kink community! Both the rooms upstairs and downstairs will be an all electronic format of dark and delicious dance tunes, with added performances and goodies!

6+ KINK PLAY AREAS – 2 DUNGEON HOSTS – KINKY CARNIVAL GAMES – BUT … NO SOP ☹

With the venue changing from a private warehouse special event to a venue with an ongoing liquor primary business license in place, this does mean the event now must operate under public nightclub venue regulations. This means that for attire, you can be 99% bare as you dare, but that lower 1% genital region must remain covered at all times. There also can be no sex on premises – though all other kinds of non-penetrative kink play is of course permitted. And of ALL the many venues where we have Sin City events, the Waldorf is easily our most well loved room for all our kink play installations. Visit Mistress Mercedes and get a private session with our in house dominatrix, our use one of the spanking benches with a friend and get some tips from her! Or, visit the Spin Of Sin, our kinky carnival area hosted by Switch Kitchen, and win 5 minutes of delicious torture from of the many mischievous Masters and Mistresses. Or, claim one of the satellite pieces of play furniture for some fun with a friend. There’s also plenty of leather couches for cuddling, watching, and there is always a great social vibe with loads to see and do in this room, sparking off within minutes of doors opening!

This ALSO means that since the play room is no longer an SOP couples room, it is now also open to singles and anyone who wants to come in and soak up the vibe, whether you are solo, or part of a group! But – one last reminder – you must be dressed fetish to enter this area!

DOORS 9 PM, RAGE TO 2 AM, BOOK A HOTEL ROOM!

The change in venue also does mean we open and close a little earlier, but trust, there is LOTS of fun to be had! Our big events at Waldorf are always over the top! This also does mean there is the possibility of booking an overnight room at the hotel attached the venue, if they are not sold out!

TICKET DETAILS IF YOU ARE PART OF THE 400+ KINKSTERS COMING!

This event is now over 90% sold out with only maybe 50 tickets remaining! If you have already bought a ticket and will still be attending, no action is needed regarding your tickets, just present them at the new venue!

TICKET DETAILS IF YOU NEED A REFUND

We always offer full refunds to all our events up to 24 hours before the party starts! Once we are past the 24 hour window, all tickets are final sale and the responsibility of the purchaser. So if you ever need a refund to a Sin City or Restricted event, make sure to get it in BEFORE the day of, as that will be well past the cut off!

Refund requests are very simple, you just need to make them through the Eventbrite website by logging in using the email you used to purchase your ticket, looking up your upcoming order, selecting your tickets, and then sending in your refund request. You can also do many other things such as edit the name on your ticket order or have your confirmation email and QR code re-sent, all without needing to wait for a third party involvement. Once your refund request goes in, it will usually be authorized and completed within a few hours.

PLEASE NOTE – refund requests can not be done by sending in personal emails or messages on social media sites.

Logging in to Eventbrite (or, for any other upcoming events, whatever the ticketing company website is) is the ONLY way to send in your refund request, for fastest and assured processing!
