UltimateSurrender.com will close out its 2008 Summer Vengeance season LIVE, streaming the first semifinal, second semifinal and championship matches live to site members each Tuesday evening for the next three weeks. The first Semifinal will take place tomorrow Tuesday, August 19 at 7pm, pitting Ultimate Surrender legend Syd Blakovich ("The Nightmare") against Darling ("The Grappler"). A cage fighter vs. a jujitsu student, this match could prove to be one of the closest in Ultimate Surrender's history, says Director Matt Williams.

Next Tuesday evening, August 26, Ariel X ("The Assassin")and Dia Zerva ("Iron Maiden") face each other in the Second Semifinal. The winners from those two matches will proceed to the final showdown to determine the best girl-girl fetish wrestler of the 2008 Summer Vengeance season. The two will wrestle in a live streamed Championship match on the evening of Tuesday, September 2.

In UltimateSurrender.com's four-round matches, the wrestling is unscripted and the female competitors use scissors, headlocks, pins and other real wrestling holds. Competitors start bikini-clad, losing their tops and then their bottoms in rounds one and two, finally wrestling nude in round three. Throughout those first three rounds, once a wrestler establishes a hold she acquires "style points" for subjecting her opponent to fingering, breast smothering, face-sitting, forced kissing and other humiliations. Her opponent receives "shame points" at the same time. In the fourth round, the winner of the match gets to fuck the loser, any way she wants.

During UltimateSurrender.com live shows, viewable only to members, video and audio are streamed in real time, and users can chat with the models, staff and each other, as well as private messaging other members. Users can also make suggestions as to how the fourth round will play out, giving the victorious wrestler ideas as to how best display and enforce her dominance over the loser.

In addition to its three matches streamed live, August 29th will see UltimateSurrender.com hosting a private audience tag team shoot for members and the press at Kink.com's San Francisco Armory, following on its hugely successful July shoot. The match features Team Purple — Amber Rayne ("The Rogue") and Alexa Von Tess ("The Badger") — facing off against Team Orange, consisting of Wenona ("The Gymnast") and Madison Young ("The Butcher").

Kink.com launched a new phase of its KinkOnDemand.com service today with the debut of the site's first third party content, a video from legendary fetish photographer, director and entrepreneur Peter W. Czernich, founder and principal creative force behind the German fetish brand Marquis.

Pure White Room, directed by Czernich and originally released on DVD in Europe, features a medical fetish theme with bondage, complex latex fashion, and the focus on esthetics that has made Marquis the most famous name in European fetish. The DVD, like most of Czernich's titles, has previously been unavailable in the US except to devoted collectors, who had to order it from Europe at great expense. Pure White Room is the first of more than 30 Marquis videos scheduled for release weekly on KinkOnDemand.com through late 2008 and early 2009.

"We've been fans of Marquis for years," said Peter Acworth, Kink.com's founder and CEO. "When you think of slick high-end fetish with great production values, Marquis and Peter Czernich are among the first names that come to mind."

Said Czernich: "Marquis and Kink.com have deep synergies in the fetish world and we are looking forward to working closely together. We consider Kink.com one of the leaders in the fetish industry with high quality, dedication and a phenomenal concept. We're proud to enhance its portfolio with our high-end fetish movies."

When we built KinkOnDemand.com, we wanted to offer the very best fetish material in the world," said John Sander, Kink.com's Vice President of Marketing and Business Development. "Marquis has helped define the face of fetish fashion and eroticism for 20 years. Many of our customers are very vocal about their love of latex and other fetishwear and fetish scenarios, and Marquis does that better than anyone—it's exactly what those customers have been asking for. These are premium European videos that have been difficult for fans in North America to get."

Czernich has been active in the fetish scene for 20 years, beginning in the late 1980s when he published the German edition of fetish magazine Skin Two and thereafter founded , the single most influential periodical of the burgeoning late '80s and early '90s German fetish scene. ceased publication in 1994, after which Czernich founded fetish magazine Marquis.

The Marquis brand has since grown to encompass video production, book publishing, hugely popular fetish events and a fetish showroom in Solingen, Germany. A spinoff magazine, Heavy Rubber, was launched in 1997 and continues today in concert with Marquis.

After 10 years as a publisher and entrepreneur, Czernich began taking photographs, and has since gained international acclaim for his highly stylized photographs of practically every famous fetish model in the world. Says Czernich: "Eventually, there were so many images in my head that I was not happy anymore to leave it to the commissioned photographers." He has since shot several hundred models and hundreds of thousands of published photos in addition to directing many videos.

When Kink.com decided to purchase the San Francisco Armory last year, they knew they were getting much more than just a new production studio. In addition to being a historic San Francisco landmark, the smooth granite front steps of the 94-year-old building have also made the Armory a treasured destination for skateboarders from all over the world. Recently, a local production company even got Kink.com's permission to use the historic steps (referred to by skaters as "3 up 3 down") as a location for a commercial they were shooting for Adidas. With architecture that impresses historian, skateboarder and pornographer alike, the Armory has proved that it is truly a one of a kind building.
