To celebrate TORTURE GARDEN’S 17th birthday, the fab fetish club threw a three-day bash of fashion, filth and fantasy. It kicked off on Friday 2 May at London’s Mass club and was topped off on Sunday at The Platinum Bar.

On Saturday, though, the ball at seOne blew TG’s previous events out of the water. Guests enjoyed extreme performances, climaxing in the Psycho Cyborgs’ jaw-dropping ‘Steampunk Surgery’ show. Samppa von Cyborg and accomplice Iestyn cut a star implant out of fellow member Ala, then implants were put in her arm and a microchip fixed to her hand. An eyepiece was also sewn onto the skin around one eye, then her lips were sewn up. The finale? Incisions in Ala’s shoulders for metal skewers.

Despite this onslaught, the lovely Ala was happily running naked around the club 10 minutes later. As Bizarre regular Buck Angel, a TG virgin, said: “There’s nothing like it in the States,” proving us Brits know how to throw a pervy party!
