There's all kinds of things that turn people on - feet, sweat and dragons are just a few of the things that come to mind. But we're mere rookies at the art of all things erotic, sexy and, well, fetish-y.

That's where the good people at Horns 'n Halos Productions come in. They're putting on Fetish Revolution 10 - a celebration of all things encompassing the fetish lifestyle - on Saturday.

The event, which runs from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m., features a variety of acts, displays and events meant to be a tribute to the ways of the fetish culture.

Highlights include fashion shows, belly dancing troupes, fire dancers, fetish performances, suspension artists and various music performers. Also look for the "Fetish Bazaar," a shopping area where you can buy that gimp mask and pink leather whip you've been looking for for the past year. Of course, there'll be boots, lots of leather and plenty of artwork to buy, too.

Among the artists performing are LifeSuspended, a Phoenix area performance troupe that specializes in flesh suspension performances, and CooKie's Kabaret - a mind-bending show cooked up by CooKie Hayworth, a Phoenix area suspension artist with more than 10 years experience. Her current show blends suspension, burlesque, belly dancing and other art forms. Music performers include Gen-XX, DJ Dark Mark & Beautiful John and DJ Virgo.

Event organizers ask that all guests come dressed to impressed. Sexiness is encouraged and they ask for minimal black clothing. They also ask that attendees wear no office attire, blue jeans, t-shirts, sneakers or sport jerseys - because there's nothing very erotic about a dude in an Eric Brynes jersey.
