various magazine scans

here's a collection of magazine scans sent in recently-ish. there's no real theme to them so i figured i might as well get them up now.

dani minogue showing off latex stockings and long gloves which is from her latest CD and also used in the video for the same song.


not sure why this was sent in but it is kinda funny. i bet someone will wire it up for another use as people have already done with those sony robot dogs.


there's definately the basis for a transformation story here or even some photoshop work. anyone care to have a go?


a small image that went with an article on how to keep your kids occupied during vacation time. a big bucket of pink paint was involved....


really lovely shot of skinny leather jeans.

libidex suits up

just in from Libidex's newsletter is this interesting fashion cross over:

Toni & Guy the hairdressers asked us to come up with something a bit special for their latest show at Olympia. We came up with several different looks - and this was one of the results! Toni & Guy were so pleased with it, they've taken it on their touring show too.

love to see some better and much larger shots of the suit as after some looking i didn't find it on Toni % Guy's home page. the style is sort of space age meets doll girl. wonder how it all went down with the fashion audience? did they have to make a few too? where to they end up. i think i need to write them and ask...

..and i've been promised a youtube link by the end of the day their fashion show as filmed by Black Ice at Easter's Torture Garden in March. apparently it was filmed in 3D video and its been converted down to 2D for youtube. i'll add it here once its been emailed into me.

latex leggings backlash?

sent to me from the UK from a London newspaper called the 'Standard' and its color magazine from last friday the 25h. it seems there's the beginning of a backlash against celebrities wearing latex legging's (does Wendy count?). or maybe its just against size 0 chicken legs. i can't really say.

maybe its just fashion or celeb spotting journalists being bitchy which is really rare as that entire industry is so polite and restrained.

what are your thoughts?

superhero's spring from the page

don't really know how i missed this, maybe because i'm too busy browsing the overpriced european and british fashion magazines at borders for juicy tidbits to notice something actually creative, imaginative and interesting in May's issue of Vogue. apparently it does happen.

its a seven panel fashion shoot based around comic superheroines and full large scale scans along with more information can eb found where i tripped upon it at the fashion spot forum. or you could just go out an buy it.

better yet its all prelude to a major exhibition at the Costume Institute at the MET which starts on May 7th and runs till Sept 1st. If you can't make it there's a book of the exhibition available at some point.

wonder how much latex there will be on show?

living doll model

a scan from a uk newspaper magazine. she's always being compared to a living doll. i guess its her head to body size along with her fixed expression?

wendy does latex

well not really... i think the closest to latex she's gotten too is the american apparel black glossy leggings. but she does seem to be really fascinated by it all still in her entry ode to latex love.

she did a great job of tracking down other fashion bloggers who have taken up the latex like black leggings and linking too them in her entry though my feeling is she's still not purchased a pair of leggings or tights herself.

well this is her (and my) lucky month as Libidex now has a 30% off sale on till the 31st of May of specific colors in their Radical Rubber line. these colors include Translucent Smoky Black, Electric Blue, Metallic Green, Sand, Metallic Fuchsia & Claret and applies to any garment made from these or a combination of these colors. a further 10£ can be taken off if you don't want feet attached - which would in fact make them leggings.

personally i'm going for a pair of Classic Tights in Smokey Grey although i am sort of tempted by the Electric Blue as it has a definite ASFR vibe too it and i'm trying to get away from too much black latex. Libidex did supply these tights to a wide range of haute couture shows and appeared in all the resulting runway shots.

maybe she will too?

new melissa's

my fascination and obsession with Melissa shoes continues as i'm still waiting for someone to make full boots in them and also much higher heels to fit in with my heel training. 

so i keep an eye on what they release each season and have just discovered that punk designer Vivienne Westowood is now offering a range of designs with these cute plastic shoes.

from V Magazine:

Brazilian shoe label Melissa has collaborated in the past with the likes of Judy Blame, Karim Rashid, and Alexandre Herchcovitch, but never before has the brand signed with a designer quite as groundbreaking and iconic as Vivienne Westwood. The collaboration resulted in plastic Mary Janes in the colors of the British flag, which were launched this week.

Vivienne Westowood's presence in São Paulo for the debut of the line is being celebrated with the Vivienne Westwood Shoes exhibit, containing 147 pairs of shoes created by the designer throughout her career (yes, the platform heels responsible for Naomi's famous fall on the catwalk are there).

Ms. Westwood refused staying at the modern Unique hotel as soon as her car pulled in front of the watermelon-shaped building, and asked to be taken to a cozier place. After her quick (and very low profile) pit stop in São Paulo, she is headed to the Amazon.


the new range has triggered interest from a range of websites wether it's Cool Hunting, The International Herald Tribune a sustainable lifestyle magazine or just the fashion bloggers Miss Crew and Manila Fashion Observer.

apparently they're already on sale in brazil as a reader sent in a couple of snaps from a shop window.


visiting the Melissa home page in brazil here i noticed the combination of latex leggings and Melissa's with liquid like design - so i had to get a screen grab of it. seemed to just hit at a fantasy of mine to be slowly coated with warm plastic to make me a mannequin.



there's also a fair bit of chatter about them on the fashion spot which is where i go to check up on the latex legging trend to see if its still going.

as the only main Melissa site outside Brazil appears to be in Australia, i did have a brainwave to check ebay in Australia for used ones and found an ebay seller doing all the new line in a range of colours too here. they seem to have a pair that looks very much like wooden dutch shoes crossed with 'crocs', yet still no uber heels.... oh well maybe next season.

xx

hundreds of pages

here's something to do if your really bored one day: visit the E3 Girls homepage which is a vast archive of 'booth girls' found and snapped at the massive consumer electronics showcase which is E3.

lots of shinyness, a fair bit of PVC and some latex too. well my time killing random clicking only really resulted in a few shots of Lara Croft in her lime green latex top, but that's almost a given. are there many more? i really can't say.


have a go and report back any interesting costumes or latex finds.

retro future fashion

youtube description:

ENNIO MORRICONE/EDDA DELL'ORSO-"MA NON TROPPO EROTICO"(1971

The Muse and the Maestro! Italian composer Ennio Morricone flipped the script on 1960's film soundtracks. Out went the syrupy strings, in came radical arrangements, instruments, and textures. The otherworldly voice heralding many of these avant arias belonged to Edda Dell'Orso.

now on technorati?

umm while it was only a few minutes ago i lost track of exactly how i discovered that this blog has an entry on technorati.

no idea really how it works or what 51 blog reactions means precisely. or what an authority of 12 means.

have a look at the entry here.

still waiting on that email from Marquis Magazine to fly me to germany for a photo shoot and free latex .. ;-)

so ahead of the fashion curve

as super high heels are now in! or at least coming in - soon.

maybe all the designers read my blog and noticed my bitching about lack of styles in high heels. well now there's definately more of them and the even have a name of 'limo heels' as defined by the urban dictionary here as they're most evident when starlets and singers get out of limos and of course no one is expected to walk very far in them now are they?

These shoes weren't made for walking! Who can wear this summer's 7in-high heels?
By CLAIRE COLEMAN

Ladies, consign your Crocs to the cupboard, bin your Birkenstocks and unburden yourself of your Uggs. This year, it's all about heels. And not just any heels: the only ones to be seen in are those preceded by adjectives such as "vertiginous", "teetering" and "skyscraper".


They have even been dubbed "limo heels" - a reference to the fact that they are usually worn by Hollywood starlets who rarely have (or would physically be able) to totter farther than the few steps that separate their limo from the red carpet.

These heels were never meant for anything as prosaic as walking: they are made to be seen.

But this season, "limo heels" have broken free of the red carpet and are heading for the High Street.

The highest of all - ones that will have your podiatrist in despair - are a Louis Vuitton pair with heels that stand a staggering 17cm.

so how was it?

did anyone go to RWR? how was it?

i read on conscious object's livejournal that she went to one of the parties and made some observations that i'd agree with. one reason i'm desperately trying to get over to the UK for their big balls - be it the Torture Garden Birthday the first weekend of May which is sadly now totally unlikely or the Skin Two Ball in the fall.

well one down and one to go. i'll definitely be aiming for the fall one as my work screwed me on the May event.

xx

those daft punk girls

i spotted this on conscious object livejournal
awhile back, bookmarked, found it again this past week and felt it was too good not to share with the readers here, even if there's a bit of an overlap.

let it play, it gets better as it gets faster.



now can you imagine a nightclub where everyone has to wear silver foiled cardboard boxes on their heads? how cool would that be?

dita is a self made living doll

according to uk newspaper 'The Daily Mail' where this puff piece on her came from. the actual quote:

"Dita Von Teese, whose retro chic brings to mind the old school glamour of stars such as Ava Gardner and Betty Grable, has ditched mundanity and with the aid of corsetry and a little help from the hair dye bottle has turned herself into a living doll."

the full article is here.

and yes that is also dita bellow, not a double, but two different photo's taken at the same time by contributor blackice at Torture Garden in London a few years ago. geeze they do have good fetish parties over in the UK now don't they?


i've been told that if you can do those random dot stereograms (where you end up seeing an outline of a boat) you do the exact same thing but will see dita in full rounded 3D! worked for me (finally)!!

what they like about latex

an interesting sample video has been released by www.latexgirlshd.com with straight questions to their models about what their favorite latex clothing is. each model candidly describes what that is even though they aren't wearing it on the one minute trailer.

its available in two formats; one for the ipod at about 7MB and another high definition one which is a staggering 38MB.

i've never seen high definition properly until now and all i can say is WOW! my mac is pretty old at this point it was just about to play the HD version of the 1 min trailer to the full size of my flat screen. click on the image to see how large the video really is.

this is way to go but i'm unsure how long they'll be able to maintain their niche as other video sites and pay models catch up.

oh and there's a free monthly newsletter if you go here.

more english fetish fiction

i had a feeling, maybe my growing 'doll sense', that i should revisit Fetish Dreams as they might just have new english stories up. when i did follow this sensation i was rewarded by finding a whole new set of english stories which is very rare as they don't appear on the site too frequently.

one of my favorites from the new update is a called 'Clothing' by Latex Circle and you can find it here. the above image was the inspiration for it as all stories published on the site draw elements and a narrative from the illustrators very kinky work.

i liked the premise so much that i am just rounding it out for my own amusement, adding details and more flesh too it. i would never put it up here but rather will send it to the author via the website to see what he/she says. then maybe it can be shared with all.

xx

in depth mannequins

during another google sessions looking for i'm not really sure what exactly... i found a very large feature article about mannequins. if your interested the have a click cover to Wonderland Magazine and the article Who Are You Calling a Dummy?.

some nice photo's to go with it too but would of liked to see much more along with some of the before and after shots with the models they base them on.

xx

more on the mythical heeled rain boots

well i'm still looking for them and my best place to find them seems to be ebay in germany which i access via their UK site so the words are in english. when i do a search from the standard ebay.com they simply don't appear. is europe off limits to us here in North America as thats where all the good latex is, more so if your buying second hand or by new designers.

here's a selection of recent finds which are all ended now.

there seems to be loads of styles out there over the years but sadly nothing that would fit me and within my current price range. i admit its a bit of a quest now and needing the higher heels for my own training is the problem too. but i am simply fixated and in love with this idea of molded rubber or plastic footwear. i don't know why, maybe its the entire thing about human forms being molded in some ways - and that this is just the start of it as the boots get taller and taller... or kinkier still that there's a machine you could be put into... 



some good did come of it though, the black and pink short high heeled boots which had previously done an entry about last year were briefly for sale in germany and this time in blue and white. the thing is that they actually gave the designers name!!!


they're by Kenneth Cole and click the link to see the original listing and how much they went for.

a doll in second life

is still running restrained life viewer but with the recent upgrade to the client she can no longer see her friends online. she's not ignoring you, just has no idea whose there.

so she stands frozen and posed in a lovely glass display case while it speaks gentle words into her dolls head, conditioning her into the perfect toy.

sort of an easter egg for me

wow- 900,000 hits in just about two years now. closing in on a million sometime in the next few months at the current rate.

sorry no photo of a black latex or pink latex easter egg too illustrate this entry. i did google for some photo's though ;-)

boot image and a flicker collection

the image was sent into my by Xu Xu and its from last fall's ELLE magazine. they're advertising the boots with the curious heels but they seem to be onto the latex leggings vibe. what amazingly skinny legs too. heels are lovely though my calfs would never fit into them.

also a rather yummy collection of flicker images here in full resolution from Davina was sent in yesterday. as they're over the age level then i'll leave you to investigate yourselves.

thats to both of them for taking time to send them in to me.

xx

out in public

i've now heard back from Public Fetish Girls and they have kindly sent me some sample photo's for the blog which are bellow. overall i am still of the opinion that mixing and matching the latex or glossy clothes with normal clothes makes the best visual sense. i mean thats why the latex leggings have taken the fashionistas by storm.

they also took my offhanded comment about being one of their models seriously. well its something to think about now isn't it?

a reader gets some training

i did an entry a longggg time ago about a NYC dance class giving special sessions on how to walk comfortably in heels all day and it seems the idea is spreading and its also available in the netherlands.

a reader from there - bibi - signed up for the class last fall and only just told me about it:

Dear Asudem,

Here are some links to the catwalk training by Kim Vos, an ex- model. If somebody knows how to walk, its Kim.

i joined her classes and must admit, when I go out on heels, cars crash! the first weeks we had to walk bar feeted. before mirror. She made a video every week so we could see t he progress throughout the weeks.

To the end we could bring our own heels. i did not get higher than 4.5". I must admit with you, above that the choice for shoes is rather small. (And i like them in all kinds and collors)

Walking on heels is top-sport she claims. Only few ladies understood that. If you do not practice a few days a week, there is no change you will ever really ´walk´ on them.

So, since that course, i never wore my old collection of heels (3" max) exept some boots, and bought loads of new ones, all above 4". its kind of addicting. i love the exposure. If there is one thing to get total attention of the crowd, its a perfect walk on steltto´s.

With love,
Bibi

she also included some links in Dutch: casting news for models, kim vos's holding page with her contact information, another article here, as well as another overview article but with video.

bibi added that this girl obviously did not finish the course:

competition ends March 31st GMT

this was just sent from the UK; a hypnodomme who has several complete free mp3s on her site Sleep for Me Now and she's also running a competition to record a new one.

She wrote this on her yahoo group:


Things have been a little quiet of late and therefore I feel the
need shake things up a bit!

I propose the following challenge to you all…

I would like for you to write a script, the topic can be of your
choice. Feel free to use as many of your own thoughts and ideas as
you wish.

I will then take the time to read through each and every one of your
submissions and will, in turn, choose a winner. That lucky subject
will then get their script recorded by me for free.

I am looking for a well written, eloquent and expressive
composition.

When you have completed your masterpiece please send it to me via
email – lady_jenifahr@...

The closing date for entries will be 31st March – this should give
you long enough to create something special for me.

If you have any questions, feel free to post them on the group or
send me an email.

Lady Jenifahr
X

so pop over to both her site and her yahoo group and do contribute. maybe one reader will have a doll transformation hypno script that she'll like and record in her lovely soft british accent. or if nothing else she'll notice the increase in traffic and interest in scripts like this and want to do it herself.

a treasure trove of fetish

i was doing some research on modules, plug-ins and donate buttons for the blog yesterday when i came across mention of this rather handy site called flicker leech.

essentially what it does is lets you view contact sheet like thumbnails of your specific searches rather than labouriously pace through individual collections of images. it does take awhile to load up all the finds but really worth a dig around to see what you can find for this or any other particular fetish you may have.

xx

he found one!

ok, so i'm behind with my updates as always: i have a stack of entries with titles, images or links just waiting to be rounded off and set to go live and here's one of those as you can tell from the date of the email:

Gary to asudemlatex
show details Feb 10 (9 days ago)

Hi Medusa, its me from Scotland again Garlor or Gary if I am not posting on IAR. I have been browsing the telegraph fashion show pages as you asked for . The outstanding person is Heather Meikle, she does stunning latex work and have a look at her website gallery at overt clothing.


sorry Gary it took so long, but its up now and thanks for taking the time to have a look and report back.

anyone else, feel free to email me on my profile address.

what this lovely collection does illustrate is that latex doesn't have to be a skin tight catsuit all the time. my day to day wear is my skinny jeans (which are loose in places) and my chocolate brown blouse with the slight poofy sleeves. i swap between the skinny jeans and my two different latex tights - the light pink ones in standard Libidex weight of latex and also the super thin black latex tights. i am getting tired of the blouse though and can't wait for my new order to arrive sometime this week or more likely next week.

even now i'm considering what to get next. maybe i need a latex designer as a sponsor? ;-)

xx

i think there's more in the series?

stylized fetish fashion shoot from where and when? it does have a certain feel of Helmut Newton too it doesn't it?

xx

if no one really posts, would anyone donate?

i really have been wrestling with this one for sometime now. its all down to having an incredible number of hits yet no one really is posting anything in comments and very little in the way of emails or submissions. i spend more time chatting to people and readers in Second Life than emails would you believe. and emails are way easier to sneak doing when in the office than my pretty doll avatar running on my home Apple Macintosh.

the feeling i should be doing something more with the blog creeps up too. do google ad words work for instance or those amazon ones? is there some money i could be getting from referrals or hits or something? would it keep me in new latex each month? i just don't know and i have a feeling that it if i invest too much hope into doing it and then nothing then i'll be really put off it all.

we'll see...

xx

how much more kinky can you get?

after seeing this image of Janet Jackson on kinkygerlinky i really have to wonder...

if anyone managed to get this issue then feel free to email it me.

xx

rubber dolls go forth

it seems the upcoming Rubber Doll World Rendezvous is starting to attract attention from mainstream latex fetishists and one example comes from the well written Rubber Dynasty Fetish report article Try it, you might like it... Rubber Doll Transformation.

her personal experiences with wearing the masks sheds some light on its appeal and opens it all up to a larger audience.

personally i think the Rubber Sisters look the best with their masks but i'm still unsure if i'd ever want to go down that route at all. maybe if there was a hyper realistic Barbie mask or a perfect mannequin one i'd go for that. as to the entire weekend of rubber dolls; well with some luck i'll be in the UK attending one of the larger fetish events with a more mixed crowd of latex lovers.

xx

before and after

i'm not one to read the celebrity trash magazines or those found at the check outs of super markets so i was really surprised with the before and after finding this collection of images of woman actresses without makeup.

apparently they are all normal people after all and their celebrity gloss is down to better hair stylists, makeup and photographers. so you can see why i am somewhat hesitant in producing less than professional looking photo's for my blog? especially if its me trying to take a photo of myself with a digital camera in a mirror. no no no... that won't do at all. i want a full on proper photoshoot that makes me look as good as any model or at least somewhere in between these before and after shots ;-)

don't worry though getting it done is on my new years resolution along with wearing latex from the waist down permanently from now on and sticking to a minimum of 5 inch heels and i've done that and much more since Jan 1st.


so i think the photo's should come out well enough but i won't know till i've done them.

xx

rubber planets back in time

i've heard back from www.outer-planets.com with a password for their guest gallery and it is worth having a look as it starts with very early internet images from their first site. so do send an email to enter their 'Ruberess' gallery by dropping a request too access@outer-planets.com.

i really can't wait till they start production again because if memory serves and the few images i spotted on the gallery illustrates, they did make super high heeled rubber boots!

xx

5.5 and upwards...

heel training is continuing as ever although not as fast as i'd like. i'm still not stuck even though i've been wearing them constantly since mid december last year. the 5's are pretty well flats to me now and i'm very good in them to the point that they're just 'normal'. in fact i feel weirdly shrunk when i am not in them which is just first thing in the morning and getting in and out of the bath. this is also where i noticed how arched the sole of my feet have become and that there's no pushing my foot flat. the arch is there and staying that way.

i have also been training in the basic yet classic styled 5.5 inch court shoes and they are gorgeous and make even my thick calfs look good but after a first couple of hours they become really painful to wear. i can see it will take some time to get used to them for any long term wearing. i wonder how long runway models take to get used to them?

since my Oxfords are also 5.5 inches i decided to start wearing those and switch back and forth and low and behold i discovered they were really so much easier to wear!! really its a massive difference and i can comfortably wear them for about 5 hours at a time without thinking about them with another couple of hours of increased soreness to the point i really need to swap back into the 5's.

i think its down too the fact that they offer full foot support where as the court shoes has all the pressure on one small area. after a week or so of daily wearing of the oxfords i discovered a 10 cent sized blister on my left foot which was caused by my overly aggressive lacing of the shoes. i had to curtail the training with only the occasional wearing of the 5.5 courts. the 6's i discovered in my loft which i had purchased all in one go with the other shoes i can barely get my feet into. actually i can get one foot into and the other only sort of. my toes do not bend at a 90 degree angle yet and maybe some time before they do...

my discovery that the oxfords are the way to go for heel training is a big bonus. however i am really hesitant in all this and its not that i don't want to be stuck in such amazingly high heels; its that when you reach 5 inch heels the selection of styles is about four or five max. most of which are variations on the court shoes sort of like the old saying about the first Ford cars - any color as long as its black.

so i proceed as ever to entrap myself in high heels through constant wearing and my mind is wandering how to take the basic style thats available at this heel height and make more interesting shoes.

xx

a bigger Bratz

did you grow up wanting to be Barbie? well how about a Bratz? they're sort of a take on the super deformed large headed and super sized eyes thats also popular in japanese styling of manga.

did barbie have any influence on your dress sense in later years? well the MGA Bratz The Movie Funky Fashion Makeover Cloe on Amazon comes complete in glossy black pvc jeans and top. this toy is made to experiment with makeups and nail polish. though you only get enough for a few applications.

once you run out you'll have to start shopping for the real makeup and if you have the real thing then why apply it to yourself?

i wonder how long before the toy companies start making life sized Bratz that you can share your clothing with or vice versa even...?

still 'd love to get my hands on the Barbie mask made for this lottery commercial i made an entry on here .

xx

the coming of the rubber body

it started with shiny leggings in metallics most noticably from American Apparel, then glossy latex leggings and tights seen on the runways of Paris. soon designers were trying to ape the look and calling their leggings rubber when they weren't anywhere near that and basically just a glossy stretch fabric of indetermined sizing and fit according to all the reports on fashion message boards.

now with the winter/spring collection from Kova & T it seems the 'rubber' term is still being used and the leggings have now stretched up the body to resemble something you'd find in a dance studio or the film flash dance (remember the fashion folk are still trying to bring back both acid rave colors as well as leggings!!!).

you would think that i'd be the first to say 'yeah!!' latex like material in public but the truth is it's not real latex and that shiny leggings is one thing, even if they are true latex which they rarely are then to show that much of your body directly is just going to be impossibly rare day to day. similar observations were made by a writer in her article on practical catsuits.

to get latex into the mainstream isn't going to work by trying to sell head to toe latex to people but rather elements of a wardrobe in latex or rubber. the Kova & T collection works best when its just a skirt, shorts or the old standby leggings. mixing and matching is where its all at in my humble opinion as i don't think we're there yet to for body catsuits in latex yet. really who has the body for them besides 17 year old models? which btw seems to be all the staff at AA...

that doesn't say that its likely i'll be hitting a point within a year or so were i will be wearing a catsuit all the time under my normal or partly dressed latex daywear.

xx

what is it? who are they?

could someone please explain to me what FanBox is? i keep getting FanBox fan requests from people i don't know and never heard of before.

is it like adding friends in second life or myspace, the goal apparently is to get as many as you can like some sort of deranged collector of stamps, paperclips or some other obsessive compulsive trait?

if these people (bar one) said they read the blog it would be a different matter, but it seems totally random marketing ploy to me.

maybe i need to launch a new internet service called 'groupies'... ;-)

sealed in restrained life

a really lovely composite image and story from Tiny Sexy Girl inspired by my doll avatar in second life which is now running the Restrained Life Viewer along with a suitable coded key in my back that makes me a doll.

i'll need to do more googling to find articles, links, downloads on Restrained Life but essentially if you run that instead of the normal SL viewer you can load both objects and clothes with code that will control you avatar in a way that appeals to Mistresses, subs, dolls or masters to the point of totally loosing control of your avatar and not be able to get out of it no matter what trick you try.

my key is slowly having features added Miss JD to it to the point that one day it will be impossible to remove it and all i'll be in second life is an automatic preprogrammed doll. i can't wait!!! ;-)

latex in public: glamour and contrast

there's a new latex fetish site on the web called public fetish girls. now is this the equivalent to sexy neighbor porn magazines or videos?

maybe what it's all about is that "less is more". people develop these fetishes as voyeurs initially. its about the quick glimpse of American Apparel glossy leggings on an evening out at a club or seeing someone in super high stiletto court shoes during the lunch break that imprints on peoples minds. seeing websites full of rubber girls doing anything and everything is just too darn easy now isn't it? people spend hours and days looking for the speckled whatnot when they could of gone to a zoo and seen a whole flock of them there.

here's a large sample windows video media file here that you can download and there is preview pictures on the site. so far they haven't replied to my emails for sample photo's to use or even my casual enquiry about modeling for them.

there's another thing that struck me about it all;, now that i've gone through the site and viewed some of the other sample videos on youtube, it reminds me very much of the earlier post i did way back about a woman's first catsuit and how she was standing on the suburban porch next to a friend who looked like a total slob in jeans and a huge sweat shirt.

the contrast is so huge between normal people and those who wear rubber in public. its like instant glamour celebrity or movie star and we all want to be stars don't we?
