If the words "Whip It" still make you think of Devo, then drop the pocket protector and head to Rock Island this Friday, July 25, for its annual flesh-tival. Whip It VIII pledges to be an evening full of depravity backed by hot beats, lustful libations and a slew of sensuality -- both the professional and the audience-participation kind. With such wonderful acts of wickedness as "Chinese puzzle suspension" and "erotic torment," the "it" being "whipped" just might be you. All attendees are urged to "dress to impress," and the best bedecked will win a free trip to Mexico. And if you can't find anything naughty enough to wear this year, you can scope out new duds for next year at the soiree's two fashion shows. The night's titillating talent includes a variety of doms, divas and devils, all dancing to tracks spun by DJs IX (pictured), Mike Rich and One Skinny DJ, who will be on hand to make sure that you whip it good.
