Lexus Wicked (Instagram): From the entertainment capital of South Florida, Lexus has been a key player with Fetish Factory for well over a decade. As one of their main performers & established hostess, she offers a sense of energy that just needs to be experienced. No doubt, her intense style & extreme quality has provided a memorable performance to many of the nation’s most recognized events for the alternative & underground scene.
So strap in kids, as a core member for what's affectionately called the Rubber Sluts, she's an undeniable force within the nation’s fetish culture. This is promised to be a performance unlike anything we’ve had before. We welcome her to DC & look forward to a night of shock & awe in all the right ways...
Throughout our long history,
The DC Fetish Ball
has consistently hosted some of the best talent the scene has to offer. Providing a top tier show for a national audience, we take pride in bringing a bit of magic for a night that's sure to entertain.
Presenting the Region's Biggest & Best Fashion Show for the Alternative Scene
~ Special Fetish Latex Segment (Shh, it's a secret!). ~
Empire of K (empireofk.com): It all started with a friend at the ball. She said hi & I replied, “Wow, you look amazing! Where did you get your dress?” She then told me about Kristy, a woman of incredible talent, vision, & drive. I soon learned such praise was more than well deserved. Moving well beyond fashion, her scope includes commercial & residential interior design, art, event décor, costuming, wearable art, & more. Her portfolio is vast, to which her couture fashion shines. Offering a unique style with varied looks, she’s a perfect addition to this year's show. We welcome her to the stage & look forward to featuring her newest line of opulent expression.
Contrary to our name, the DC Fetish Ball is a true ‘Metro Event’ - meaning, we embrace the full spectrum of various cultures from throughout the scene. With this in mind, we’ve put together a segment for this year’s show to honor the 50th anniversary of the Maryland Renaissance Festival. We’re calling it “Renn-Faire After-Hours.”
Silk Road Traders (thesilkroadtraders.net): As purveyors of unique, beautiful, & colorful treasures from around the globe, the Silk Road Traders can be found at the MD Renne-Faire, Va Faire, Pennsic, & more. From the festival to the dance floor, bonfires or even yoga, they have various lines to meet your need.
But they’ve always envisioned themselves as something much sexier than can be presented for an ‘all-ages’ crowd. So they’ve created a line for the ball to show off how it was always meant to be. We look forward to this newer more sexy look & welcome them as a feature for “Renn-Faire After-Hours!”
DC Creators w/ Crafty Celts (DCcreators.com / craftycelts.com): Continuing our theme of
Renn-Faire After-Hours, we’ve put together an awesome segment that we’ve been wanting to explore for a long time. Crafty Celts offer an awesome line of medieval jewelry, wearable art, & themed accessories. With underlying themes in Celtic, Viking, & Lore, all products are hand made & carry a deep focus of artisanal craftsmanship. They can be found at various fairs across the nation as well as Pennsic & several Viking Festivals. But how do you put a line of accessories & wearable art in a fashion show?
Since before the pandemic, we've always wanted to explore a segment of body paint. So we’ve paired the craftsmanship of Crafty Celts with the artistry of our own Davina from DC Creators. Based in Richmond but raised in DC, she's the founder of the DC Creators Network. Having painted the Fetball for a number of years, we’re excited to bring her back for her own segment in this year’s show. Presenting a theme of Tribal, Celtic, & Viking cultures, our models will take the stage as their own walking art. We can’t wait to finally bring this element to the show.
Mid-Segment: Our featured artists take to the stage to offer some mid-segment intrigue. From Cosplay to Trondage we offer a unique blend of art in motion to keep you entertained.
PLUS the region's hottest Pro-Domme's

Her natural beauty, stunning eyes, & talent for her craft soon brought a prolific career that’s now spanned well over 16 years. Blending her love of latex with a sensual desire for fetish, she's been a featured performer for such notables as the Big Bang Boom Burlesque Conservatory in Orlando. She’s graced our own stage as a model, featured performer, & for burlesque. We now host her as our featured GoGo & pre-show performance.
