soon to be used in Supernatural?

which is a gold mine of 70's rock music and one of my favourite shows too. a track listing of music used on an season by season basis is here.

the video was originally posted on rubberist.net;



very shiny leggings. wonder if its real latex or pvc. there's clues to show it wasn't made in the US, but rather in the UK where fetish fashion is far more available.

model worn....

for those of you who don't own any latex yourselves and want to start of with something cheaply then i do recommend ebay as a good place to find deals for several reasons.

first its an international marketplace with a much broader range of designers than lets say your local sex shop that only has molded latex items in a place you really don't want to go into into. search locally and also in ebay.co.uk as well as the german site. with the dollar strong again, its worth looking even if the shipping is a bit more along with the time to get to you.

then there's the interaction; you can email the seller for more photos and specific measurements. Small / Medium / Large can be somewhat vague as we all know. 

the price - obviously as the items can be either new or used. some start up designers will begin on ebay so you get personalised service and a seller who wants your business rather than a chain of sex shops which just has some latex in a corner with no real knowledge of it. 

now for buying used latex - there is a trick - if you wash the latex with a teaspoon or so of normal liquid detergent in a front loading washing machine (tumble ones) at the wool setting and not too hot you can deep clean the latex to such a degree that the latex is so clean it will stick too itself when it dries. saying that i'd only go for items that looked in good to very good condition. any signs of the latex going soft then its a no go.


Xu Xu sent me in a link of the other reason to buy off ebay which is various fetish models periodically have a clear out and if your lucky enough to be close to their size then its a major scoop. in this case it was Rubber Eva has an ebay store here. the coat above is simply gorgeous and there's other items ending soon too.

another link sent in was from regular contributor and photographer Black Ice who is having a clear out of camera gear and latex items used in shoots here. listings includes several molded chlorinated molded items - worth getting if you have not tried chlorinated latex before as its totally talcless!!  sadly still no word on my freebie pair of latex leggings as his shoot has been pushed back until the model returns from south america.

calvin klien now does latex leggings?

an advertising scan from 'AnOther' magazine sent in by Vidal Tripsa.


hmm maybe they were used by the stylist to accent the coat, or maybe calvin klien now does latex leggings? can anyone confirm this?

what next? The gap and banana republic?

its all in the styling..

its an area that fascinates me and i'm always collecting examples and occasionally posting them.

previous entries were the 'before and after' beauty pageant were everyone looked the same with big hair and garish make-up and kate moss photoshopped.

well here's another one from the UK with Since Cheryl from Girls Aloud. the article starts: Since Cheryl Cole catapulted to fame as an X Factor Judge earlier this year, it seems the whole nation has fallen under her spell.

Groomed-to-perfection, the Girls Aloud star has attracted an army of fans, a premiership football husband, and a career that's going from strength to strength.

But it wasn't always the case. continues here (go read it for all the before and after shots).

and its just not her, but the entire band she's that looks liked just like normal teenagers and they've now been remade into models while one looks they went too far as she pretty well looks to be made of pastic.

germans spot latex leggings as trend

i think i already posted this but it looks like a better video and the intro's funny.



anyone spotted latex leggings hitting the news / fashion channels? please post the links if you do.

a new latex skin...

from leading latex designer Simon O.

as you can tell from the photo's its like a basic tan pantyhose with a high gloss shiny glitter effect.

he wrote:

"This colour is absolutly amazing on the skin and gives your skin a better look. The material is produced by a famous well known company for us and has the same quality and price as usual colours. Its only available in 0. 25 - 0.30 mm and several moulded items like gloves, stockings, condoms,.. are available in this new colour.

something else to add to my growing wish list.

xx

proof! models are clones...

examine this photo carefully. there is a tell tale sign that one of these models was grown in a tube and not normal. a sign of things to come?

wonder how soon it will be before models DNA will become a sell-able asset to parents who want the perfect child. for that matter, Kate Moss could continue her reign with future generations.

state of the art 3 years ago...

i wonder what the 2009 model is like? will be able to spot them if they're walking amongst us now?



if you want to build your own then i'd suggest you save some work and start with one of these.

thanks too Il Leone for the link.

blue doll in 3d

as shot by blackice at Torture Garden in London on Halloween.

he wrote:

"You can actually see this in 3d stereo if you can do those random dot stereograms where your rewarded with an outline of a boat or some such. Its the same technique of letting your eyes relax but you need to start with the image in a photo viewing app and make it pretty small - lets say and inch across.

Once you get it to work in 3D, zoom the image larger and larger. It also depends on screen distance too of course.

The proper way to view them is as slides and in a special viewer.

Oh and found a link to a guy shooting 3D of cosplayers which I figured you would like. Use the same technique."

and the link for that is here.

latex love at F & art

i just revisited some of the fashion blogs i have been known to frequent (those with a disposition for latex of course) and spotted this brilliant and very graphic spread on F&art.

they do illustrate really well the idea of mixing and matching slick latex and other materials. i guess that's why the latex like leggings are still holding so much appeal.

the photos were shot by Mark Pillai and styled by 10 Magazine editor-in-chief Sophia Neophitou. Alyona Osmanova for 10 Magazine. More pictures at the supreme being blog.

i did pop down to borders to buy a copy but sadly the print quality wasn't much better than what's been put on the blog which is sad as i could imagine them being blown up to make great posters.

high heel geriatric abuse

sent in from the uk by a regular reader.

...so super high heels and latex leggings do lead to kinky sex even amongst the older rock stars?

making mannequins

a heads up for next weeks TV:

Just thought as a viewer of your blog, you may like to know about the new episode of Dirty Jobs on the Discovery channel. Mike Rowe discovers how manufacturing mannequins can be a dirty job that requires artistic skill.

jw asked....

"Hello love the blog I'm looking for the black rubber boots in this attached image I can't seem to find anything with a nice thin sole like ones pictured any help at all would be great thank you so much "

well they are just plain rubber or pvc like molded riding boots. guess we don't really see them here as there's more cowboy boots around (and those imho were never ever sexy).

here's several on ebay here and there's way more in ebay.co.uk but the shipping will be prohibitively high as they do weigh a lot.

the best way to get them on and off is to put plastic shopping bags on your feet and then they will slide on easily. getting them off is always somewhat involved.

they're very in at the moment fashion wise but made with a higher block heel in mock leather or real leather version. if you get the rubber ones to wear around all day you'll realise that they are really 'riding' boots and not walking around boots.

oh and use armoural to give them a great shine.

inside the balloon

i so want this balloon...



wonders out loud what it would be like to be put into a balloon like that, then stuffed with smaller balloons like packaging bubbles.

kate moss photoshoped

this was sent in by another UK reader and again from the conservative yet surprisingly kinky Daily Mail.


Sprawled out in a lemon-coloured ballgown, Kate Moss strikes a seductive pose as she gazes into the camera for the cover of Vogue magazine.

The stunning image looked like a totally different person compared to the jet-lagged blonde walking though Los Angeles' LAX airport on Friday.

In full make-up, lying sprawling across a bed, Moss's skin looked radiant and youth on the new December issue of the style bible.

continues here

you'll have to go to the article to see how she looked after coming off the plane though she does look very much like a soccer mom.

the thought that hits me is when do the photoshop fees outweigh the model fees? and how long will these staples of the fashion industry last?

xx

why?

does american apparel sell sharpies?

a full range can be found here assuming you don't buy them a normal stationary shop. what next - golf balls at lingerie boutique?

is it to customize their plain basic clothes with personal touches? would these touches be doll joints?

in case you hadn't heard

Britney Spears wears latex in her new video 'Womaniser' which you can see on youtube here.

the Daily News splashed the headline "Oh, la la latex! Britney Spears, other stars embrace rubber clothes and the full article is here.

the article goes on to list the various celebrities and singers who have gone tight and shiny or kinky booted as well as mentioning where the vest came from. wonder how sales are doing?

Anne Hathaway SCS (shiny clothes shoot)

found on Kinky Gerlinky Forum as posted by Biro. thanks!

which also makes me think that having a correspondent from specific forums might be a good idea? anyone one want to volunteer?

balloon room

i remember when i was really young, like just 10 or 12, i was totally fascinated by balloons.

i even managed to get a foot into one and was enthralled how my skin was no longer skin - but latex. it stayed with me and must of imprinted in me somehow.

well you all know where i am in relationship to latex - i have far more than my foot in it ;-)

another fantasy that arose at the same time as it was pretty well impossible to wear deflated balloons for more than a few minutes is to be sucked into a balloon and made into a living balloon.

here's a viral video that won an award and i'd imagine what the prelude to the transformation into balloon girl could well be like.
