1 August Against Nature? The Natural History Museum University of Oslo Oslo, Norway www.nhm.uio.no/againstnature The Natural History Museum, University of Oslo, has opened the first-ever museum exhibition dedicated to gay animals. "Today we know that homosexuality is a common and widespread phenomenon in the animal world -- not only short-lived sexual relationships, but even long-lasting partnerships; partnerships that may last a lifetime. The exhibit displays a small selection of the more than 1500 species where homosexuality has been observed. This fascinating story of the animals' secret life is told by means of models, photos, texts and specimens. The visitor will be confronted with all sorts of creatures from tiny insects to enormous sperm whales. How can we know that an animal is homosexual? How can homosexual behavior be consistent with what we have learned about evolution and Darwinism? Sadly, most museums have no traditions for airing difficult, unspoken, and possibly controversial questions. Homosexuality is certainly such a question. We feel confident that a greater understanding of how extensive and common this behavior is among animals, will help to de-mystify homosexuality among people. At least, we hope to reject the all too well known argument that homosexual behavior is a crime against nature. Exhibition runs through August 19, 2007.

The World's Kinkiest Renaissance Faire, of course! When The Floating World suggested running an adult-oriented Faire, the organizers jumped at the opportunity. "Our own events are fetish-friendly, but they're not specifically fetish events" explains Mach, himself the author of a book on dominance and submission. "This event, in contrast, is nudity-positive, play-positive... and is an event where, finally, those public stocks will see some REAL action!" The show will feature a number of unique performances, such as Alexander The Poet, author of many poems about porn stars, masturbation, and exotic sex acts. There's also Agent N, a talented and versatile burlesque star. And there will be some members of the Wicked Cast, as well, substituting whips and chains for swords and shields. The Dark Fantasy Faire is taking place outside of The Floating World, on Sunday, August 26th, 2007, at the New Jersey Convention and Expo Center. Tickets are free with TFW admission, or available for $10 in advance, $15 at the door. 31 August - 2 September Montreal Fetish Weekend Montreal, Quebec, Canada www.fetishweekend.com The fun gets started with Club Sin on Friday, August 31, at Cabaret Cleo, 1230 St. Laurent Blvd. Here, it's a Fetish Weekend "kink-off meet and greet" launch party, with the theme Maid in Heaven.
