With Halloween falling on a Friday this year, there's a countrywide wealth of ghoulish fun on offer over the weekend — and even less excuse not to indulge in some serious sartorial inelegance and hit the town.
Of course, some people don't need Halloween as an excuse to strut their stuff in skintight latex and knee-high boots. If that sounds like you, then on Friday you'll find plenty of kindred spirits at the Erotica Halloween bash at Warehouse702 in Tokyo's Azabu Juban. The dress code is described as "erotic, fetish, rubber, SM, sexy nurse, medical, lingerie, bikini and more," which probably tells you everything you need to know. Music comes courtesy of house DJs Tomoyuki Tanaka, Daishi Dance and Mitomi Tokoto, though you may be too distracted by the SM lounge and erotic fashion show to notice. There's a total of ¥300,000 in prize money up for grabs for the best costumes.
