This unseasonably warm weather has melted most of the snow away, but it will no doubt freeze over tonight, turning Ottawa into a treacherous skating rink. Meanwhile, the Ottawa Knights will be heating things up at Centretown Pub with their Full Leather Fantasy event.

A leather-and-denim social club with more than 35 years of history in Ottawa, the Ottawa Knights stage a themed event each month. Past events include a sports gear “wear your favourite jockstrap” night and a metal and chains soirée.

Ottawa Knights member Michael Tattersall says that there will be thousands of dollars worth of dead cow being worn by attendees and that the event is “leather reality, not merely fantasy.”

“The non-stop beat of the music drives the floor to a pulsing crescendo of sweat-soaked, skin, steel, leather and fetishes,” Tattersall says. “This is not just broaching the intensity of lust; it sustains it on the physical and metaphysical levels. The crowd of doms, tops, subs, boys and bois, slaves and pigs and everything in between seethe and flow throughout the bar.”

DJ Rush‘N Noiz will be the night’s darkling beat master.
