See It, Magnifique!

On Saturday, Sep. 20, fetish, freaks, and fantasy converge at Fieldens, a private club that has been mixing the three since 1975. Although most club events are available only to members, every third Saturday, Fieldens welcomes the public, usually for themed events like the 7th Annual Magnifique. As the main dance floor throbs with heavy tribal beats, courtesy of DJ Bruce Nathan, the stage will feature all things sinister and strange.

“Magnifique” is French, of course, for “effin spectacular,” although the name might be a violation of truth in advertising. “If someone has a two-minute act that’s freaky but not illegal,” says Fieldens’ Manager Mike Love, “they’re definitely welcome to get on our stage. It’s whoever wants to stand onstage and do something.”
