While Mandy oohed and ahhed over Ellen's designs, Flora and Jason headed off through the convention dealer's room to see what other delights the place might hold for the kinky shopper.While Mandy oohed and ahhed over Ellen's designs, Flora and Jason headed off through the convention dealer's room to see what other delights the place might hold for the kinky shopper. Almost immediately, Jason saw something that nearly made him collapse with silent laughter. At Flora's questioning look, he pointed. The elderly couple they had earlier noticed coming off the elevator were now browsing the dealers room, dressed in matching outfits of black and white vinyl! The lady caught Jason looking at them, and nodding in recognition, smiled at them politely. Flora and Jason continued on their way, with bemused expressions on their faces. Many of the tables on this side of the room appeared to be for mobile "clubs" and social organizations, which surprised Jason, since he had expected such groups to adopt a low profile since the notorious Spanner Case. After talking with several party organizers however, they discovered that at least here in England, the pervy crowd had opted to fight back with pride and public presence. In doing so, it was hoped that they would not be so easily dismissed as a "lunatic fringe" by the relatively conservative local media. |
