latex rainwear archive and blog

on my "to buy list" for the last nine months or so is a latex version of a short pvc styled rain coat which i sure i blogged about in an earlier entry. i'm still working my way to the point that i am comfortable wearing latex so overtly in public so coat keeps slipping from my order right now list.

deep glossy back PVC rain coat were definately in all the fashion magazines last year and with that in mind it wasn't a leap to consider having one myself and i even went so far as getting costings done by my far eastern latex maker. its all very do-able but i have delayed it yet again for my next order as i've already put a largish order in back in mid february which i'm waiting on now.

maybe i need to sponsor or something, though thats another entry for another time. ;-)

what inspired me to do this entry is the find of a rapidly expanding archive of both latex and pvc rainwear at The Raingear and Rubberboots Gallery but also the new site by 3xl entitled unsurprisingly Fetish Rainwear/. the gallery does have some photo's of the almost mythical acquo bootsas the photo above illustrates.

here's how they introduce themselves:

Welcome to the fetish rainwear weblog by Latex Kitty & 3xL, a rainwear and latex loving couple living in Copenhagen, Denmark.

We as a couple are quite experienced in the latex fetish realm, but when it comes to fetish rainwear, rain coats and capes we actually consider our selfs as beginners.

3xL about rainwear:
I'm best known for my long running latex fetish weblog, but actually I liked rainwear before latex. I first got in contact with rainwear in my early teens, an experience which slowly developed into a fetish. Today, I'm building up a collection of rainwear. My favorite style is vintage gentleman's raincoats made from shiny black rubber (SBR).

Latex Kitty about rainwear:
I love to wear rainwear, both, out in public and for play.The first time I got in a fetish relayed contact with rainwear, was as I met 3xL. Since back then, my interest and fascination about rainwear is growing and going its own way. I especially like vintage rainwear fashions from the 60'ties and 70'ties, like the Danish Børmax.

Our weblog is a journal of our explorations in the wonderful world of fetish rainwear!

Rubber regards

the legend of the doll

no its not my autobiography, but a japanese low budget film. thanks to pye for this amazing find. didn't even know it existed.

an overview:

Legend of the Doll, 2006, Japan
In this quirky story set in Tokyo's fetish-catering Akihabara shopping district, lonely Ryouta (Hideo Tsubota) spends his time building action figures of pretty girls from kits. When a gorgeous life-size model comes to life, Ryouta must choose either the perfect doll who will do anything to make him happy -- or his ex-girlfriend. This comic fantasy romance co-stars Noriko Kijima as the living doll who sets out to win her creator's heart.

really surprised that ed in Tokyo didn't send it in as its about his preferred area of the city: Akihabara ;-)

if you want to get it then its here at CD Universe for 14.09$ and Amazon for a few dollars more but used there for half that.

part of the scenery

kindly submitted by blackice is a weird short video of a sculpture of a woman either emerging from a wall or being sucked into a wall. he stumbled upon it when displaying his geometric primitive at Brighton Science Festival which was held on this past weekend in an arts college.

no other information was provided but it may be of interest to some readers keen in formaphilia and sort of reminds me of the maze scene in very kinky Barbarella . which as a film probably had a deep impact on me when i was younger.

aurora the doll

thanks to Davina for this find, and really i should of noticed it myself if i had been doing my regular rounds of various blogs and websites. pop over to Aurora's Style Fetish to see her lastest entries of images photoshop'd by her friends K.G. and Riane. great joints don't you think?

more photo's from the same shoot can be found in an earlier entry.

also worth a peek is aurora modeling a new pair of transparent gold tights. wow - they are lovely.

wearing a fetish outfit to work

from a british comedy...

it is possible to get it that tight

i was sent this link awhile back by VI as he had picked up on the latex and AA legging running meme in my posts. now the curious thing is that these are soft kid leather and not stretch pvc, latex or some lycra hybrid. certainly its another option for people wanting the tight and shiny leg look and have the money to pay for it and live in france too ;-)

for full collection by Jean Claude JITROIS then check out his webpage and specifically fall/winter 2007/2008.

i think i'll stick to latex but it all looks very good.

in the pink and further along

as i probably said already i'm now in an earlier blog entry, i am swapping between my light pink latex tights and my black skinny jeans for my new years resolution - which is to be half latex all the time from now on. with the tights i've been wearing a skirt over them when at home and otherwise they're hidden by a slacks when at work.

when i get home i immediately put on my chocolate brown latex top and thats how i'll stay till bedtime. not half but pretty well head to toe latex. and you know what? its not hard. really - when i'm home from morning meetings (i freelance and not thankfully in an office all day) i just need to put on the top and its like 'aaaahhh' back to being latex.

its all pretty odd behavior if you look at it from the outside as a suburban GAP wearer but for a wannabe latex doll then its a good sign and a definite step which i don't plan to ever go back on.

so closing on 2 months now and i've stuck to my new years resolution of 1/2 latex all the time and closing in on full latex of sorts the other half of the day. of course it varies based on work loads, client meetings etc but i'm also now making an effort to keep it all on and more importantly visible on the weekends when grocery shopping and whatnot.

sadly i am really getting tired of this top and so my next order of latex has been placed and is being made up. it will include a pair of jodpurs, a pink semi transparent blouse and also a loose, sort of EGL-ish black dress. i just have to wait for it to all arrive. i think the dress will be good as it will work well with my black libidex tights made from ultra thin latex (which reminds me of another entry on latex styles and weights), the light pink pair and the long gloves which i had to send back to the ebay seller as they were way too tight.

all this progress is great and i feel i've made real progress i could barely imagine last year. however i think wearing the pink tights looses its impact by keeping them under a long or even knee length skirt. so to that end i've started to wear them by them selves when at home - like leggings with just the brown top. they're thick enough not to rip unlike the lovely black libidex ones. this way when i see myself in them its a positive re-enforcement of not only the transmutation of myself into latex but as importantly i look down and see dolls legs, hips and waist..

conscious object's video channel

i was directed over to conscious object's livejournal after a tip off by email about one of the entries and realised that i hadn't visited for a long time and that she had been amazingly busy with sourcing and posting interesting videos. this includes the behind the scene making of the video where the mannequins in wedding dresses break out of the window display.

you can either pop over to her journal and have a look too or go direct to her own channel at youtube here.

bellow is one of the recent music videos that looks like it was pulled directly from many realms Legacy of Timeless Beauty. wish they'd had less of the band and more of the process in it. still it's so spot on that you wonder the director or the someone even in the band is reader of this particular genre we're all fans of. if you are its ok, feel free to email me or post comments ;-)



now i wanted to keep the video and others so i had another look around and found a little application that plays back saved FLV videos really well. you can scale it too so it takes up more screen space. its the wimpy standalone FLV Player and it can be downloaded for free from here.

another option which is in the long run much better is a site called vixy.net which while it has desktop little apps its really all done online. all you do is simply paste the youtube link into it, cross your fingers and pick your output format. then after a fair while - for me anyway - it will offer a converted file to download which is the same youtube video but in a much more usable format for an ipod, divX player etc. i have tried it once and the result was very much better than the direct FLV player.

so here's pet project for someone... make a collection from youtube of all the good clips / music etc related to our rather niche little fetish and save them as AVI's that can then be made into a DVD. or if thats all too much work, then consider the comments for this post for youtube links to start us all off.

researched, uploaded but not posted

i keep getting side tracked by work deadlines. one of which i missed on friday as i had meetings in the office all day friday.

doll video, suit, group and a sex doll blog

another find on google is this little video from a web site that does these little short news clips. its here. wonder how many new people are either a) repulsed or b) secretly intrigued?

if you want one that will constrict you in heavy pink latex then there's a new design by fast fist - the person who wrote the incredibly kinky and latex saturated epic bondage perils of super girl. the suit itself here is made in australia and is a heavier variant on the existing doll suit vlatex makes.

also new and worth a look is the appropriately titled; realistic sex dolls blog. now for me i do love the light pink latex and of course the entire latex enclosure of catsuit - or more even - but i don't want to look like a badly drawn sex doll or comic. which is my problem with most for the female masks out there as well as the hoods. thats all fine if it works for you but its not my taste at all.

i'd much prefer something that actually makes me look more attractive or doll like that i do presently. either the total doll like mask like the Barbie one Doc Vanderlay did long ago or one that mimic's a mannequin look. actually the later would be really good as i could be a living version of a mannequin i'd pose in windows ;-)

homework for all of you - fashion galleries

i was googling, as i do on fashion and latex leggings and came across a huge stash of fashion images at the telegraph newspaper in the UK.

so many designers! so who have fetish influences and who outrightly use latex in their collection this year?

its your mission - report back in comments.

photographic tips for the non-camera shy

i spotted this book as and advert on F&ART and seemed to think its appropriate to post. maybe i should get it and a digital camera with a timer?

Book Description

Shoot yourself: Sexy self-portraits by everyday women Inspired by a babysitter he surprised in front of the bathroom mirror shooting pictures of herself with his Polaroid, photographer Uwe Ommer decided to put together a book of erotic self-portraits by inexperienced photographers. Arming participants with cameras and basic technical instructions, Ommer asked them to photograph themselves in any way they pleased?liberated, so to speak, from the voyeuristic eye of the photographer. Some chose to use mirrors as they captured their portraits, while others braved the camera without the help of their reflections.

While many subjects required no intervention by Ommer, for others he acted as ?ghost photographer, ? helping them with the lighting and setup; in both cases, the models were free to indulge their inspirations in any ways they pleased?from sexy and provocative to romantic to simply being themselves. The cast of self-portraitists includes a wide range of personalities, from students to artists, actors, stylists, dancers, models, musicians, teachers, and more. This highly original book gives us a rare glimpse at the way everyday women see themselves?or wish they did.

buy it here at amazon.com.

i wonder if there will ever be a myspace, facebook or second life editions?

german designer goes fetish

as much as i am addicted to latex for just being latex and what it does to me - in so many different ways - i'm also really fascinated by how its taken up and experimented with by non fetish designers. generally the photography is much more innovative and the designs more daring. most people won't argue that there's just too much black latex in the 'scene' and really how many latex catsuits in black can you own? two would be one too many.

so on a weekend visit too F&art i saw her entry announcing the new Marcel Ostertag collection and then her report of getting to see it live during berlin fashion week. yes there was a cross over with basic black and colored shinyness.

i did notice that some of the shoe close-ups she captured are my own oxford styled high heels which i still really can't walk in. but at least i now know i'm sitting somewhere on the edge of fetish and fashion once i manage something besides an uneasy shuffle in them.

check out the F&ART blog and the designers homepage for more imagery.

now that you've clicked over to the designers homepage and looked at spring summer 2008 collection, is it just me or does the model just not look right? as if her body size is like a doll version of herself? still i do like the latex-ish dress on the right side of page 10 - very EGL.

celeb in K+T Latex Leggings

as a follow on to yesterday's entry about silver and latex like leggings, i found this item for sale on ebay in the uk - "As Seen on MARY-KATE & ASHLEY".  wonder if they sell the large carry all too so you can complete the look?

have a look to see more shots of her wearing them as caught by various celeb snappers. 

the leggings still don't look anywhere near as glossy as they could be if they were actual real latex. also my keen bargin hunting spider senses found them cheaper online as per previous entry if you fancy a pair

paint latex on a singer

and you get Lil' Kim - How Many Licks

are they still a fashion trend?

i was wondering how the fashion trend for metallic and latex leggings was coming along or if it had had in fact totally fizzled out when we entered 2008?

fashion is flakey as we all know. one brief seasons must have is tomorrow's 'OMG your wearing that?!?' so as to be ever vigilant - i pop'd over too the fashion spot forum entry on the subject and picked up where i left off and yes indeed it continues to this day...


from my reading the trend is sustained due to various pop stars and the ready stocking of a range of shininess at American Apparel. AA don't appear to be doing the gold and silver much any more but concentrating on the latex like high waisted leggings in black and more solid dark primary colors blue and green which do look nice and still have that futuristic edge too them.

allot of the chatter on the fashion spot is down to fitting and getting the best brands. few people have tried the AA versions and found them to be baggy at the waist to the point of falling off.

another set of Q's are about the Kova & T latex leggings and if they're any good and how they compare to the AA ones and where of course can you get them from. well one place is at Ron Herman who also have a neat view the products from more angles than anyone else product viewer with enlarged close ups too. click on the link to buy a pair or admire the models thin legs (well compared to mine anyway.

not sure how Kova & T can get away with calling them latex however as obviously they aren't, its like passing off pleather as leather. though i did notice some of the posters looking for real latex leggings.

hasn't the more clued in fetish designers realised that this is a new market they could get into if only they marketed them right and not just to their own clique? if they had they'd be able to sell huge amounts more, supply to a wider range of shops as well as expand the market for other latex clothes and not remain such a little niche interest.

however the silver and gold leggings are no longer hard to find in the UK anyway and a quick look on ebay.co.uk you will notice they even have there own search categories which is neat and just proves how much more fetishistic they are over there as i had always suspected. US ebay meanwhile has pretty well none currently listed let alone a specific category for them. i did have a look at Top Shop in the UK who did have them but they're all sold out in all sizes.

meanwhile in my googling i came across the entry at polyvore and i'm not exactly sure what the site is, it does have item #31010 as Silver metallic leggings and its complemented with alot of other silver and oh so shiny accessories.


and as a trend they also have a bloglist tag so check out blog toplist's entry for more on leggings, normal, latex and metalics.

of course january/february is traditional sales time and you can pop over to Normal Kamali Leggings are down from $125 to $75 at Nordstorm.com.

if your still shopping for a bargin then one budget option with way less of a shine of any sort are target's version as they seem to be clearing out their stock of more steel grey than shiny silver leggings at 8.49$ - guess its really not their market now is it?

rockin' girl blogger - by proxy

i was googling myself after visiting the 'never camera shy' Wendy's blog and read her experiences finding herself with google. so i had a go myself and after alot of links - some of them from japan no less - i was surprised to find that i had been mentioned in the fartguide back in august.

not only that, but i had been passed a virtual award by the blog creator's (apparently she's had a few). she wrote:

I would love to pass on this award to Asudem Latex of doll's realm for keeping me updated on topics of the world of dolls and latex. I once reviewd her blog here. Since then I check back every now and then to get inspiration, see the latest fashion spreads including latex or simply feel amused by latex fetishism ♥

your grandma wore 6 inch heels

assuming of course she was a model in one of the magazine reprints sold by texpix aka ebay seller Fetish Nostalgia.

the latest release is Fancy Femmes, Volume One of High Heel pinups from 1946 to 1954 from 8 Harrison Magazines. they feature models in 5 and 6 inch slightly thicker heels, lovely corsets, long legs and very funny advertisements (well from our point of view). check out a preview of it and others in the collections by clicking here. there's a range of vintage comics there as samples that are worth having a peek at.

wonder where all their costumes and lovely shoes ended up?

the completed puff piece

as done by Jay Petto can be found if you are a member of the yahoo doll fiction group. its 27 pages long and its the classic story of a journalist who couldn't stop looking and a mad scientist and his dolls.

also be sure to check out test render images done by golden dawn in files section too. i think those came out pretty well for trial pieces.

more and more...

latex is part of me and who i am. i know it now.

tommorrow will be 4 weeks - time has flown by and i've gotten into the routine of either the pink tights or my skinny jeans from getting dressed in the morning till getting into bed at night.

i'd never thought i'd make it this far wearing latex on half my body for those many weeks. and i have. not only that - today i went shopping in town and managed to do it with my admittedly big winder coat that goes to my knees, but otherwise i was top to toes latex with my skinny jeans and chocolate brown long sleeved blouse.

was really nervous at first but after the first hour or so when i realised i wasn't getting any weird looks or people pointing at me i was able to relax though knowing obviously i was dressed this way. no one noticed, cared or commented.

when the sun came out and i was in the starbucks i even opened the coat up all the way to reveal my clothes and well i had too as it would be too hot otherwise. not a peep from the girl serving me.

it was exactly like my fear and paranoia (and a bit of freaking out) when i wore my polished stainless steel eternity into the office for about three days running. i had a story about it ready and no one said anything except for one comment asking where i got it. my work collegue liked it and saying it was done by another friend in jewely / art college who now works in the village and that seemed to keep her happy and maybe even a bit jealous as i said it was pure silver.

all this now for me is not a fantasy, or a test run even. i know it will be head to toe in latex much much sooner than i expected. i'm craving enclosure now almost like some sort of drug - although the closest i come to drugs is my morning espresso. still you get the idea. ;-)

after todays walk and shopping. i feel inside me that i accpet it and its part of me and its ok to be it. its not really sunk in totally yet but its definately becoming very solid...

the hazing transformation

i was looking for something on youtube and came across the transformation scene from the low budget horror film 'the hazing'. as previousl reported on concious object's blog the scene was supposed to be much longer and much more detailed according to the director, but sadly budgets and time restraints in the way.



which has me wondering if there are any other films with good mannequin transformation in them? - besides of course Mannequin 1+2 with Sex in the City star in her early days.

i think i saw somewhere that there was a horror film made in the last year or so with such themes and scenes but for the life of me i can't remember the title.

post any links, youtube links or imdb references in comments please

new story: ragedy anne

i just had a look at gromets plaza this morning and saw it had been updated with a new story called ragedy anne where a woman starts to make her ultimate ragedy anne outfit. does real life parrellel fictional life i wonder as the authoress has a website selling custom dressed dolls with a definated anime theme at here website www.maddybell.com?

three weeks in and half a latex doll?

one of my news years resolution's is to wear from now on permenantly all day latex on half my body. the idea was that it would be my light doll pink latex tights but i've slipped from that and been swaping back and forth from them to my basic skinny latex jeans.

now i'd be happy to wear the tights all the time i found they do interfer with my training in the 5.5s heels. the latex is simply too thick to get my feet into the shoes which aren't broken in at all and which i still can't really walk in yet. of course plain tights are fine - hense the skinnyjeans.

i was trying to get it burnt into my teeny dolly mind that i was half pink doll latex, which sort of works when i keep it up but more often than not i wear my skinny jeans now.

so there's this Q of being 1/2 doll latex vs wearing latex. and if i'm 1/2 doll latex then i end up covering up the latex with something else which kinda defeats it all now doesn't it?

generally at home (and i work part time away from the office) i'll be wearing my chocolate brown latex blouse once i'm back in and all weekend. i've also started to venture out in it, under my big winter jacket. still it getting me used to being out in latex in public.

i have also just noticed the ball of my feet have finally adapted to the 5 inch heels and i'm much more fluid and they're more comfortable now. the frount strap doesn't bite as my toes and the ball has bent too the right angle to go under the toe strap - as they're of course meant too - with the ball of my feet offering more support.

so progress is being made i think and shortly will have my modified catstuit, pink body and white body back and will start wearing those too with either the skinny jenas or tights. on monday i puchased long pink latex gloves off ebay in europe so with all three items combined i'd be mainly latex from neck to toes.

its all happening much more quicky....

a rubber clothes blog

is here at the cleverly named the rubberclothing.blogspot.com/. not much there yet, but do pop over and have a look and comment. i do like the image they pulled from a uk company for the inflatable bubble. i've tried a vac bed before and loved every second in it, but this is the opposite and wonder what its like.

head over to find out more about it.

melissas a go go

i had an email flyer through from the bazilian online shop that sold me my melissa's and while i'm not going to buy any more i did have a look at their site again. besides the sale there wasn't much there new and certainly nothing with 5 inch heels which i apparently am sooo close to being stuck in.

so i pop'd over the only real enlish online pressence in australia at unsurprisingly www.melissaaustralia.com.au/ and noticed they'd massively revamped the site with galleries of past appearances of my favourite plastic shoes. in fact my pair were on the cover of vogue! i so have taste ;-)

the pair i don't have which i'd had my eye on are the short boot versions with a wedge heel also made by the same designer as the scoop wedges - still my prefered 4 inches heels. i managed to get the normal shoe version off ebay in the middle of last year from ebay and the frount does have open panels which means if the boots are the same they're totally useless as rainboots.

still the deep pink plastic is lovely...






will they ever expand into rain boots with heels? who do i need to petition?

xx

on youtube or elswhere?

looking at the sweety video reminded me of the afi song 'girls not grey' and the amazing alice in wonderland / masked girl in it. so i had a look around on youtube too see if i could find it again.

and i did!

but the bad news is all the versions i found of it were really fuzzy, distorted and low resolution.

can anyone suggest a better link or source? maybe downloadable from a site somewhere?

cellphone with living mannequins

i just had this email from blackice in the uk who was sponsored a new mobile phone by a friend who wants him to review it for an online magazine. essentially it's an iphone clone of sorts and he was very surprised when he turned it on and looked and the included media on it's 256mb micro sd card...:

Hi Jeannie

You won't believe this but the iphone clone phone - P168 which I purchasd off ebay to review; had a video of a band called 'Sweety' from asia somewhere. The opening scenes and most of the video is them posed as mannequins in a stylised window and only partly moving as if they're restrained or coming out of a long term trance.

The video and image qaulity on it is no where near Apples iphone but its unlocked, triband, 2 sims and can display photo's so not a total write off. The video files are teeny, about 5MB or so for a video so I'll send it over in a seperate email.

I asked Ed in Japan to do some searching but he had no luck in finding a better version of the video but said the name was Sweety - Misceivious Spouse and says its Tiawanese band.


above are the captures i did of the video and it pretty teeny image size. if anyone wants to see it i can forward it on from my yahoo account.

though much better is if someone can find a website or youtube with the full video at a size where you can see all the details?

xx

UPDATE:
thanks to greneker in comments for the youtube find of the video here

a different design of female mask?

a find from ebay.co.uk from a german seller who seems to specialise in Greyland Masks. i've never seen this one before and its alot more appealing and doll like compared to others.

does anyone know who made it and if its still in production? the auction has ended but you can see the listing and another image here.

i've emailed doc vanderlay a few times in the last few months and not heard back. his earlier email had attachments of masks in progress so i'd think they'd be done by now?

cd insert doll

two scans kindly sent to me by regular correspondant jean-f from the insert in Tanja Turune's new cd. i've never heard of her but apparently she was a singer in a group called Nightwish. so thats a few female singers with doll-ish themes now?

the 5 inch delima

i pretty well gave up on my 4 inch melissa's back at the begining of december when an online friend who is permently stuck in high heels - for years now, encouraged met to do the same. which really i do want too do. so since then i've been wearing my basic 5 inch heel pleaser's and occasionaly been stumbling around like a newborn foal in the 5.5's stiletto court shoes.

now i'm totally enthralled by the idea of wearing a peice of clothing that slowly transforms the wear and entraps them a the same time. very much like the story The Outfit by leather@netins.net.

it helps to think of this when i wear them, rather than just a fashion thing which of course is fine too. this heal training unlike the elements in the story is real and long lasting and i am already starting to feel the effects when i pad around the apt before bed and first thing in the morning. my calfs hurt, the back of my thighs up to my bum certianly does and i do put the 5's back on pretty well the second i'm out of the bath, where i notice the increasing arch of my feet.


the delima such as it is comes down to the sad storage of my other shorter shoes like my lovely collection of plastic melissa's, my low heeled Siger Morrison Rain or Shine knee high rubber boots and so on. as the heel height increases - and i mean _real_ heel height not counting stripper platforms, the range of shoes available as well as the makes dwindles to almost nothing. even my mary janes with the nice solid round heel are 4.75 inches and too low for my basic 5 training. same shoe in different colour doesn't count either.

so will keep at it as i want too but i'm not sure if i can live with about 3-5 pairs of shoes and boots.

and what happens when 5.5 inches become my norm or even higher? really there's not much out there.

PS: love these but if you look at them they're really not high heels but flats on an angle with a thick base:

natori mask on ebay

the current pinnacle of realistic female masks are made in japan by natori who i've been told no longer is taking any more orders. they are rarely seen besides online and in books, but if you have enough money there's one on ebay here which will end Jan-13-08 12:53:25 PST.

its currently a snip at US$760 and has five bids.

from what i've been told by someone who owns one, they're made from amazingly detailed but thick scilicon which makes them pretty heavy to wear. too see out of one there's slight eye holes in the glossy eyes, just off centre from the pupil.

they're definately closer much closer to what a mannequin would look like if you could actually wear a mannequin shell... well one day possibly.

not just naomi in chrome

but also plastic women for harper's bazaar by photographer sebjaniak whose homepage is here.

look in editorial. you'll also find more in the series, some other uses of plastic like sheen on models and a distictively ASFR vibe in some images.

i've seen these before somewhere, maybe scans in image collections though for the life of me i'm not sure where.

thanks to ch_ill_er for the find.

russian electro artist Sasha Frolova

at Solyanka - Moscow.

like the hair... can anyone tell me more about her and the suit? is there a video or two on youtube even? seems to recieved a fair bit of media attention as both images came from widely divergent websites - one in australia and the other from orange county. so get googling! ;-)

more latex dolls

with anime mask of some sort. thanks too Ivan GL for the finds and emailing them in.

anyone know more about the mask?




i am still very much in two minds about the female latex masks.

so far the best i've seen are the Rubber Sister ones which turn out to be from Kerry, but with alot of makeup work / paint done to them to make them as you see them in all the photos. that matched with real quality wigs worn properly makes all the difference. alot of the masks that are out there a just a bit freakish imho and i wouldn't wear them.

i would wear something that gave you the head of a pretty mannequin or that reproduced a barbie in exact details like the one for the lottery commercial. still waiting on doc vanderlay's new set of masks as the images he sent to me and i posted earlier this year looked very promising indeed and maybe he'd send me one free! :-)

Naomi - the silver robot

on the cover a 'telephone book thick' magazine found by RH at the "Grove" which he described as a "highfalutin mall" in Los Angeles. thanks!

he didn't buy it since it was so thick so we don't know if there's any relationship between the cover and the inside feature articles.

as winter rose would point out - this is a pretty old fashion shoot photo and there is a complete set of images out there on the net - somewhere. curious how it all floats around and slowly seeps into mainstream media.

strangely they day the email arrived with the link, i was scrubbing out my oven with a pair of similiarly coloured silver rubber dish gloves. would make a great catstuit too.
