			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Saturday, September 6th, <a href="http://www.fetishfalls.com/">Fetish Falls</a> in Tempe had a Party and I was there.  Sometimes it is easy to forget that Arizona has this kind of scene.<br />
<div id="attachment_789" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://img.metblogs.com/phoenix/files/2008/09/dsc00660.jpg"><img src="http://img.metblogs.com/phoenix/files/2008/09/dsc00660-300x200.jpg" alt="Mask at Fetish Falls" width="300" height="200" class="size-medium wp-image-789" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Mask at Fetish Falls</p></div></p>
<p><span id="more-788"></span></p>
<p>From their <a href="http://www.fetishfalls.com/about.php">site</a>: </p>
<blockquote><p>Fetish Falls is the alternative to the mainstream alternative for all your hair and costume accessories. We specialize in these embellishments to complete your Gothic, Lolita, Punk, Rave, Anime, Cosplay, and Sexy unique look.<br />
<em>History</em><br />
Krista Manson, owner of Fetish Falls, is a gifted creative soul and raw talent entrepreneur, wears her hair long, dark, with a shocking pink color on her bangs to express her artistic spirit. She exudes a non-assuming nature with a fastidious work ethic. She started Fetish Falls after seeing the stretchy, light weight ribbon, called crin, at a craft show. Krista spent countless hours over the course of months researching crin ribbon, sourcing suppliers and convincing her long-time boyfriend to invest money into this venture. </p>
<p>In early 2006, Fetish Falls was born as small craft company selling crin hair accessories at alternative lifestyle events like Fetish Ball and Phoenix Comicon. Krista quickly saw the need to expand her business to be accessible beyond the shows she would vend. Fetish Falls launched their web site in late 2006 that has grown into a very successful Internet business. Gradually, Krista expanded the Fetish Falls product mix to include goggles, steel rings, wigs, blinky and glow items, leather goods like bracelets, hosiery, sunglasses, gloves, Demonia bags, and a variety of special order costumes, clothing and Pleaser shoes. </p></blockquote>
<p>It was a long, busy day, but fun.  <a href="http://www.myspace.com/unchainedmentality">Moniker</a> &amp; DJ Headspace/Joseph Collier were giving the music.  They work raves &amp; clubs and are working into production.</p>
<div id="attachment_807" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://img.metblogs.com/phoenix/files/2008/09/dsc00653.jpg"><img src="http://img.metblogs.com/phoenix/files/2008/09/dsc00653-300x200.jpg" alt="DJ Headspace &#38; Moniker" width="300" height="200" class="size-medium wp-image-807" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">DJ Headspace &amp; Moniker</p></div>
<p>There were fashion shows featuring <a href="http://www.myspace.com/cherryfrequency">Cherry Frequency</a> &amp; other brands:<br />
<div id="attachment_809" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://img.metblogs.com/phoenix/files/2008/09/dsc00707.jpg"><img src="http://img.metblogs.com/phoenix/files/2008/09/dsc00707-200x300.jpg" alt="Model during Fetish Falls Fashion Show" width="200" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-809" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Model during Fetish Falls Fashion Show</p></div></p>
<p>Also present were some of the <a href="http://www.dysfunctionaldolls.com/index.html">Dysfunctional Dolls</a> modeling the hair falls that are Fetish Falls Trademark.<br />
<div id="attachment_810" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://img.metblogs.com/phoenix/files/2008/09/dsc00663.jpg"><img src="http://img.metblogs.com/phoenix/files/2008/09/dsc00663-200x300.jpg" alt="Dysfunctional Doll at Fetish Falls" width="200" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-810" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Dysfunctional Doll at Fetish Falls</p></div></p>
<p>The main reason I showed up, however, was to see <a href="http://www.myspace.com/sinaesthesiashow">Sin Aesthesia</a> perform.  They did several blocks throughout the day, and we had as much fun <a href="http://phoenix.metblogs.com/2008/09/08/sin-aesthesia-at-the-firehouse/">as the night before</a>.<br />
<div id="attachment_811" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://img.metblogs.com/phoenix/files/2008/09/dsc00754.jpg"><img src="http://img.metblogs.com/phoenix/files/2008/09/dsc00754-300x200.jpg" alt="Sin Aesthesia Can Can Finale" width="300" height="200" class="size-medium wp-image-811" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Sin Aesthesia Can Can Finale</p></div><br />
<div id="attachment_812" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 234px"><a href="http://img.metblogs.com/phoenix/files/2008/09/img_5617.jpg"><img src="http://img.metblogs.com/phoenix/files/2008/09/img_5617-224x300.jpg" alt="Quinn of Sin Aesthesia" width="224" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-812" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Quinn of Sin Aesthesia- Photo (c) Chris Seggerman</p></div></p>
<div id="attachment_814" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://img.metblogs.com/phoenix/files/2008/09/img_5893.jpg"><img src="http://img.metblogs.com/phoenix/files/2008/09/img_5893-300x225.jpg" alt="Sin Aesthesia at Fetish Falls" width="300" height="225" class="size-medium wp-image-814" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Sin Aesthesia at Fetish Falls - Photo (c) Chris Seggerman</p></div>
<p>I participated as well.  Never tell staff you want to be tied up:<br />
<div id="attachment_820" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 234px"><a href="http://img.metblogs.com/phoenix/files/2008/09/img_5591.jpg"><img src="http://img.metblogs.com/phoenix/files/2008/09/img_5591-224x300.jpg" alt="Trying on a corset at Fetish Falls" width="224" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-820" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Trying on a corset at Fetish Falls - Photo (c) Chris Seggerman</p></div><br />
<div id="attachment_822" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://img.metblogs.com/phoenix/files/2008/09/img_5594.jpg"><img src="http://img.metblogs.com/phoenix/files/2008/09/img_5594-300x224.jpg" alt="Getting Tied at Fetish Falls- Photo (c) Chris Seggerman" width="300" height="224" class="size-medium wp-image-822" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Getting Tied at Fetish Falls- Photo (c) Chris Seggerman</p></div></p>
<p>Maybe that is why it took me so long to write this up!  Go by the store and tell the ladies hi.  I am going back soon for a hair fall to match the new corset I ordered.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When asked, I tell everyone that I live in suburban mini-mall hell.  But the truth is that while I find all these strip malls. and regional malls, and mega-malls hideously ugly I love that I can find whatever I need within a 30 minute drive.  Two Apple stores, two Fry&#8217;s Electronics, about 140 theater screens, a Costco just about a block away from a Sam&#8217;s Club just down the road from one of those Supercenters.  It boggles my mind.  I love that they are not going to close the Albertson&#8217;s on the corner and that my Safeway delivers.  All that is missing is a Peets.</p>
<p>Number 8 &#8211; Presh&#8217;s Shopping Nirvana.  You know this is why we moved here.  Biltmore, Chandler Fashion, all of Scottsdale.</p>
<p>Counting down the top 30 things I (and Presh) love about Phoenix as we head towards our one year anniversary here at MetroBlogging PHX.</p>
