“BITESIZE BEL AMI AROUSAL”
LOOKBETTERNAKED – SATURDAY 26th JUNE
CLUB REVIEW
In the dynamic & diverse scene we find ourselves within, you can imagine the amount of events that cross our bows in any given week and the decisions we have to make in showing our support or committing to covering as broad a spectrum of happenings, meaning that a whole host of invites or party pointers simply miss our radar or fail to inspire us enough to make them a feature of our review work. And to be fair, when we saw the initial advertising & event posting for Lookbetternaked, it seemed that this would be another one of the parties that would pass us by, after all, in our advancing years we have kind of been there & done that when it comes to getting up close & personal with near naked bodily beauties, whether they be the American style of horny hunks or the more lithe yet erotic eastern European form of young men that were the central theme to this new to London look-in. Moreover, our desires now point far more towards music than muscle, party than porn & dancing than drooling, but having overlooked that initial invitation, subsequent bombardments of postings our way couldn’t avert our eyes from the event, so what do you think ended up happening?
Mind you, had it not been for our sustained back injury, Lookbetternaked would have undoubtedly come & gone without event in our world, for many of the reasons above, although when focussing on it in a special recommendation aimed at those into all things Bel Ami etc, we uncovered some enticing morsels of information that made the prospect of a trip to Fire in Vauxhall much more tempting, the rather un-appealing original D.J. line up being boosted by some of our favourite London boys and a glance at the press photo’s of some of those Bel Ami beauts definitely raising our blood & other bodily pressures somewhat. Indeed, despite our untimely back injuries, further boost to our inevitable arrival at this Prague invasion of London, came in the form of rallying calls during the day itself, having been spotted out & about and then when we found ourselves within a stone’s through of South Lambeth Road while braving our bruised & bashed back at Barcode’s birthday bash, our trip to Fire became a foregone conclusion. So, how did our walk on the LookBetterNaked wild side fair? & what were the real highlights of this horny happening?
Well, having resigned ourselves to a relatively early bath compared to our usual escapades around Vauxhall on any given weekend, our retreat from Barcode’s birthday bash was met by a liaison with doorman & club promotions machine master, Tom Fuller, who in his inimitable way, persuaded us that a drop in on proceedings across at Fire would be received warmly. So, with our mind telling us one thing, but our heart another, we made a steady course for this Lookbetternaked erotic event, being greeted on the door by an inviting Romain Lopez who ticked us off his list, releasing us into Fire to fulfil our erotic intentions. Mind you having been out for most of the afternoon & evening, we felt a little underdressed for the occasion, jeans shorts & a t-shirt the extent of our attire, although with no extra belongings to store away, we were released to investigate this Prague inspired party without any real delay. Now, before we go on, can we mention that the concept of LookBetterNaked coming to the capital was very much the brainchild of one Alex Erfan, the man behind Lovechild, LGDF and a handful of other clubbing events beside, his penchant for providing a truly different clubbing experience evident with this, his latest concept, mixing things up & injecting his passion for partying prolification.
And it was evident that lots of effort had gone in to the production for the event, Fire’s main room knee deep in special Lookbetternaked signage & ceiling hung mobiles, the screens lighting up the place with their dedicated visuals, adding to the atmosphere created by the venue’s renowned lighting & lasers, as well as the music masterminded by opening D.J. Mike Mikalis. But we were Lounge room bound, for this party transformed into a “Hot Stud” space, the mere name hinting to plenty of horny happenings and we weren’t to be disappointed, as rounding the corner & entering the space, not only was there a delightful drop dead gorgeous go-go spinning around on a specially implemented pole dancing podium but the whole space had the feel of erotic expectation. Being virtually immediately spotted by pals Roni Inan & Danny Shubert, who introduced us to their entourage, we knew in an instant that our planned brief visit was going to be anything but, refreshments thrust our way & an impromptu guided tour instigated, aided by the arrival of the man himself, Alex Erfan, who was keen to introduce us to some of those Bel Ami boys, backstage in the Mirrorarch room.
Despite having seen preliminary photo’s, nothing could have prepared us the eye candy feast Alex was treating us to, as the twelve or so bronzed & perfectly formed Bel Ami boys were a sight to behold, dressed in tight white jeans to exaggerate their taught torso’s & shimmering smiles, we doing our best to hide our blood rushing excitement and jaw dropping movements as we gazed in pure delight at these male delectations before our eyes. Such was the extent of our excitement, we were forced to beat a hasty retreat to slow our racing heart, but returning to the main room for what we thought was the breather we needed, we bumped right into a further bevy of beauties, this time three muscled dancing hunks on the podiums in front of the D.J. booth, the sounds now being served up my Jonny M. However, our eyes were firmly fixed on the male meat in front of us, this gorgeous form of a man recognisable as the one that had done it for us at Lovechild over the love weekend, he once again sending us stratospheric with his stunning strides on the podium, reconfirming our thoughts the he was the best looking go-go we have seen, ever!
But as if that wasn’t enough to satisfy our desires, Alex came through, grabbed our arm and led us into the lounge, where a naked Bel Ami boy was lying on the bar, his torso and crotch covered in strawberries, signalling some of that forbidden fruit we had talked about in post party analysis, with a line of hopefuls taking turns to lift the juicy bits of fruit from the boy’s body with their teeth, resplendent hostess Elektra making sure nothing to naughty was going on, but clearly acting like the mistress of dominance that she clearly was, her look & attire adding to the illusion she was creating. Then, with the fruit consumed (not by our lips you understand) yet more erotic delights were to come our way in the Mirrorarch, as the remaining Bel Ami arousers hit the stage to perform erotic kissing & other moves, an excited audience looking on in amazement of their overt acts, while Prague D.J. incumbent Michael Burian, also of Amnesia & Space Ibiza fame, delivered a bountiful backdrop of mesmeric music, including a version of “Disco Electrique” that was simply stunning, all this activity leaving us more than impressed with this Lookbetternaked display of eroticism.
There was just one thing to round off our evening of delight in the hands of Alex Erfan’s latest string to his bow and that was the arrival of D.J. pal and chief leader astray Nick Tcherniak, whom we had conversed with earlier in the day, not sure whether we would see before his birthday & trip to Madrid, although we seemed as surprised as each other with the unplanned encounter. Catching up on bits of news was all to brief however, as the demands of the D.J. decks drew him away, leaving us to lap up his tech & funky fuelled terrific tunes, swinging on our spot next to the booth although unable to throw ourselves into full dancing display as our now sore & sensitive back was stopping us in our stride. So it was this that saw our brain take charge, the sensible vibes rubbing off on our legs, which soon carried us away from Nick, those gorgeous Bel Ami boys and out into a Vauxhall dawn to make the short journey home, reflecting on an impromptu visit that ended up being an impressive adventure.
Well, we have pretty much said all we can say about this Lookbetternaked outing, although summing up & answering the questions we posed earlier, given its initial lack of appeal to us, it ended up more than proving its worth, both in terms of its erotic intentions and eye candy offerings, elements of the music also playing their part in an event that we are sure has some legs in it for future forays at Fire. Yes, it is fair to say that the numbers through the door were not great, but when you consider influences like the hot weather, the birthday bash across the other side of Vauxhall, plus the overriding fact that many were probably saving themselves for Pride the following weekend, the team didn’t do half bad in attracting the audience they did. And those that made it were certainly treated to some spectacular sights, the boy on the Hot Stud Lounge bar one particular highlight for us, as was that drop dead gorgeous go-go dancer in the main room, making our “Bitesize Bel Ami Arousal” extra special. So, with the promise of at least a repeat next time round, we say bring back Lookbetternaked which was a worthy contender to our affections. (DISCO MATT)
