~ About Us ~


Richard A.D. (Facebook.com/RichardAD  /  Fetlife/RichardAD): Your Ring Leader & Host for the DC Fetish Ball...

Rick is both a highly active member in the scene as well as the brains & brawn behind The Metro Underground. Indeed, the full spectrum of the alternative & adult subculture has been in his blood since day one. This, combined with a full-time career in marketing & promotions (& a substantial background in event planning), he not only gave birth to efforts with The Metro but soon took the reigns to host one of DC's premier events for the alternative cultures:  The DC Fetish Ball.

But make no mistake, a production this large takes more than one man to pull it off. We are both humbled & thankful for the incredible team that helps behind the scenes. Besides those running the play space (see Entertainment), there are a few individuals that require special recognition.

Mistress Tyler (MistressTyler.com): Associate Producer / Fashion Show Coordinator -  What can I say? She’s a one-woman force w/in the scene & a key player in our overall effort. She works tirelessly to coordinate all elements of the fashion show, while bringing other talent together to allow a more progressive experience throughout the night. I’m ecstatic to have her on our team & honored to call her a true friend. 

Kaelynn (Fetlife): Associate Director - With a background in modeling & events, Kaelynn is an invaluable member to our ongoing effort. He is assisting with both the fashion show & several stylistic elements to help bring our production to life. But even more, everyone wants to be a part of the big event yet The Metro hosts several parties throughout the year. For these, Kaelynn is one of only a few that are by my side for each & every endeavor I undertake. I couldn't do what I do without him, & I am eternally grateful to have him in my life.

Rhus Brutalis (ModelMayhem): Fashion Show Coordinator -  Offering a depth of experience in both modeling & fashion, Rhus is the perfect person to pull final elements of this year's show together. As a well known personality, she not only offers the necessary contacts to give us the depth of talent we need, but is also able to bring a level of true professionalism to the entire production.

The DC Fetish Ball: Now in our sixth year! We continue to raise the bar for the decadence, desire, & sheer elegance of the underground scene. Indeed, we wanted something more for the nation's capitol - an event so hot that it would not only stand as a local icon but would be worthy of national recognition. It is for this that we developed the DC Fetish Ball. The date is set, so mark your calendar for a night you won't want to miss!

The Metro Underground
(www.TheMetroUnderground.com): Your gateway to the entire spectrum of the alternative, adult, & underground scene for DC, Baltimore, & the Mid-Atlantic Region. Its concept is unique, but its mission is simple: to provide a synergistic means to lift the fog for what's going on in & around the area, assist the promotion of the scene as a whole, & ultimately to provide a forum through which bridges can be built - from one culture to another, & from one group to the next.
