INTRODUCING SPANDEX at DARKLANDS FESTIVAL

As everyone knows, the Antwerp DARKLANDS FESTIVAL is the ultimate playground of fetish clubbing where sound, sweat and style merge in a series of electritying nights. All fetishes are celebrated but regrettably all attention seems to go to leather, rubber, pup play, skins, army uniforms and so on. NO attention is given to SPANDEX or LYCRA, and in the dress code list our fetish isn’t even mentioned. They do mention Superheroes as a category but that doesn’t cover us either. Therefore I want to ask AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE to show up in spandex and lycra during the main events like FUSION or RAGE in front of the main stage. Let’s all meet there and let’s show them our fetish is just as hot as any other !!! Who wants to come ? Main parties are 6-7 March

What do think about doing a spandex walk together around the city?  The weather could be an issue but we all could get a way with wearing meggings, tights or amoresy suit with jacket on top. Showing off that real men wear spandex

Should you feel like organising a spandex walk, please do. You can use this thread or start another.  Personally I won’t be participating. In my opinion, gays shouldn’t be advertising their fetish onto the streets too avidly. I live in Belgium and I hear the remarks of friends, family and clients. They bring it on the news as well, and it shocks people who don’t need to be shocked. ( puppy walks especially ) Nobody wants to be “confronted” with our fetish, not really. It’s not like the straight BDSM or swinger clubs take to the streets either.  I’m all for bulging in public, here and there, on occasions, like the beach or during runs, when it serves a purpose, but not so sure that group bulging is a good way to go “outside” the scene. But then again, it’s my opinion. If you organise a walk, perhaps I’ll participate in the end. 😈 Sounds horny.

It doesn't have to be a big walk like puppy walk :) 5, 6, 10, 20 people could be fun, like any other tourist/cyclist group tour haha ps. @polospandex, I get what you mean about we don't have to shove our kinks on people who don't want them. But I'm not in the same opinion. In the same tune, if people don't like me being gay, doesn't mean I should be straight in front of them is the culture I hope we live in. There will always be negative reactions whatever it is (kink or non kink) BTW, I was on the puppy walk last Darklands, lots of positive reactions from the public. I'd like to focus on the positive reactions. Just my 2 cents.

Fair enough. I understand what you mean. But like I said: if it comes down to it and there is a spandex walk, I’ll probably be in it 👅…

I like where this is going, keep the convo going! p.s. Spandex Party will have a (really cool) booth at Darklands as well so I can help promoting whatever we plan online and offline. and I would love to take part on any of these Spandex happenings myself of course 😎 p.p.s. we'll also have an SP photographer at DL that we could use to capture some moments on pics

That sounds great ! We need more spandex awareness at the event!  And the organisers should keep that in mind ! Let’s all chip in and make a stand! ❤️ ( by the way thanks for closing the Belgian thread. I realised too late that it probably was the wrong page and too limited but couldn’t figure out how to close the thread myself ).

as for the booth/stand it's all going by plan (it's in the planning for months and an experienced event agency is helping us out). again, the booth is there to show case what Spandex is, spreading the word and promote Spandex Party as a way to connect with other like-minded. but I'm digressing with my post. I'll create soon a thread about Spandex Party at Darklands and in the Spandex calendar. let's keep discussions about the booth in that upcoming thread. and let's stay on topic here about ideas to show presence / gatherings / activities

I wasn't thinking that way, yes fetish stuff is best within darklands but it doesn't stop us from being very discreet about it. Like obviously we wouldn't be displaying much on the bulge front in public space as that way too risky and illegal in some place. It more like a fun walk just in leggings like in the photo attached, which looks a little bit like we just been for a run together and heading to a cafe. Like a group of sporty types bro hanging out together. Same way that gay lycra loving cyclist blend in with all the every day cyclists at group rides and races.

Another idea, what do you guys think about doing an amoresy meet up inside darklands, we all could wear a Athena Catsuit but each of us in each of the different colours.
