FFF Rules Of Conduct
The New England Leather Alliance would like you to be aware of the following Rules of Conduct for the FFF:
Dress Code
The Fetish Fair Fleamarket(tm) has never allowed nudity. We have also always stressed courtesy and appropriate dress in public areas. "Sidewalk friendly" attire is required, which is not the same as "street legal." "Legal" means a thong and pasties--we have always required a bit more, to insure the comfort of all attendees. In all public areas, no bare butt cheeks even with a thong, and no bare breasts or breasts covered only in Liquid Latex. This includes having your breast/butt covered by something sheer or see-through and nothing else under it.
Photography Policy
NELA respects your privacy. However, recall that you are at a public event and you are your own best protection. NELA will not be liable in the event that your picture is taken.
Please note that there is no photography or videography except by those authorized by NELA. You should make every effort to be aware of them if you do not want to appear in any picture. All authorized photographers will have a badge that they will display at all times.
Camera phones and video phones are carried by most everyone but we’re asking you not to use them in FFF event space (i.e. space for which you need a wristband). Reports of your unauthorized photography or recording of any kind will result in your being asked to leave without refund.
It is proper procedure for authorized photographers to first ask to take a photo. If they decline, please respect their request. Harassing attendees for photos is forbidden.
If a photographer asks you to pose for a photo and you agree, be sure to sign a photo release form.
Photographers, please be considerate when stopping to take photos in the hallway by making the photo stop short and not blocking the main flow of hallway traffic. Be aware that if people appear in your background who have not consented to having their picture taken, you are NOT ALLOWED to take that shot. Bystanders need to give the same permission as the main subject of the photo.
Attendees entering into agreements to be photographed privately are strongly encouraged to check the references of the person they are dealing with, to have someone they know and trust with them during any private photo shoot, and to resolve all issues of compensation before beginning a private photo shoot.
