RoB Amsterdam

Wow, the things you can find on Facebook these days. This guy is totally woofy! Take a look at the interior of the RoB store in Amsterdam...wow, a fantasy of mine to ever step into a store like this...someday, someday...

3-D

Since it's all the craze in the media world, why not in the rubber world?

After much anticipation, Kink Engineering is finally previewing vac cubes and vac towers!

Check them out at their online store. Great options and quality, right here in Canada. Same deal as always applies - well made, airtight, inexpensive and tons of color options!

I'm really digging the 3D Vac Tower! Not that pricy either, which is unusual...can't wait till they're on the production list! :)

Rubberstud(s) of the Week #104

Morphsuits

"Life is more fun in colour!"

Morphsuits.com's zentai seem to be getting more and more popular all the time! The lads in the UK are getting covered in full lycra and getting as much public time as they possibly can. The Facebook group has 118,000 fans. You can be guaranteed this craze will not take off in North America. Only the British wankers have the Nads to pull this stuff off! :)

Wowee!

I have a soft (hard) spot for track cyclists and speedskaters, but sheesh, this side profile takes the cake....yum yum yum

***UPDATE: Just found out the model's name is Mats Roger Jensen, this photoshoot was taken in 2008 by John Andresen.***

Dungeon

Woof! I had my first experience in a private dungeon on Friday night. Two hot rubbermen and myself played in this dungeon until the wee hours of Saturday morning. Holy shit, it was a hot sweaty evening! :) Thanks for taking the pics, T and D; it was a very memorable night.

Rubberstud of the Week #103

Fetish Relationships

If you ever wanted to see your kink categorized and graphed, here you go!

A friend posted this via Twitpic this morning on Facebook. It is the Amazing Fetish Chart by Katherine Gates. Very interesting! :)

Sleepy

I think I failed to mention that the grand prize at Rubbout this year was a $300CAD gift certificate from Skintightrubber....and guess who won? ME! LOL

I ordered the Skintightrubber sleepsack this morning. 1.05mm gauge, front zip, rear access zip, nipple zips, D-rings and lacing across the front. It's gonna be a sweet ride! In addition, I also got the bondage mitts with zip. I think I'm turning into a rubber bondage perv (well, more than I already was, anyways).

Changes

I need to update my blog logo...a project for the upcoming weeks, maybe? As long as the weather's nice and I can get my bike out, maybe not....:(

More self-play tragedy

...Sad news yesterday that designer Alejandro Bulaevsky was found dead in his New York apartment after what appears to be a latex play session gone awry. This is something so preventable, yet tragically seems to happen far too often. I respect Ruff's pleas via Metalbond's blog to avoid breathplay completely, but I still do believe it can be done in a safe manner with ample pre-planning AND a play partner/monitor ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS. It's one of those things that's okay to do in a very controlled environment with very experienced players. I personally don't cut off air supply completely, nor do I ever mix it up with bondage.

Not that that helps the ones we've lost already...:(

James Hatton Oct 9 1966 - Apr 2 2010

I was looking for my best picture of James before posting an entry on his passing. I met James numerous times at MIR and IML and also was in regular communication about him regarding his business ventures with Devil Dog Rubber and ideas for latex outfits he was working on. He had a very creative mind and was a passionate rubberman! My condolences go out to James' partner Matt and his family. May he rest in peace.

You can send condolences to Matt and tribute to James via the Bodisama website.

Straight Bar Boot Lacing

I had to steal this from All-American Kinkster just so that I had a copy for myself for future reference! :)

1. The lace runs straight across the bottom (grey section) and the ends are fed into both bottom eyelets.

2. One end of the lace (yellow end) runs straight up the right side, emerges and runs straight across the second set of eyelets.

3. Both ends now run straight up the left side, each skipping one eyelet before emerging two eyelets higher up.

4. Continue running both ends across the shoe, then straight up two eyelets at a time, until one end reaches the top.

5. The other end then runs straight across the second last set of eyelets, then straight up to the top.

Event Review: Rubbout 19

Vancouver was the place to be on the April 9-11 weekend as rubbermen from North America and Europe joined us to celebrate the 19th installment of Rubbout, North America's longest running rubber event! Visitors attended from Sweden, Toronto, Chicago, Portland, Seattle, Calgary and many points in between. It was the biggest Rubbout to date and gives us some fantastic momentum as we start thinking about Rubbout 20 in 2011.

...

Friday afternoon was initial registration at Pumpjack Pub. Earlier in the week volunteers had worked hard to hang lubed-up balloons and inner tubes from the ceiling, drop the banners on the walls and prep the backroom for the Friday night party. The volunteers donned their Invincible shirts and Ego Assassin Rubbout briefs for lots of photos and to accept arrivals for the weekend to pick up their packages and have a couple of pints.

After a brief break for food(!) we all ended up at Numbers for the Vancouver Men in Leather Rubbout Social. It was one of the best-attended VML parties on record and everyone had a good time. There were a couple of vac-rack demos, rubbershine boys, and a Best Rubber contest. Afterwards everyone headed back to Pumpjack for a Blackout Party and Brendan's fireplay demo which was enjoyed by all!

Saturday morning came early and we headed back to Pumpjack for the Rubbout Gear Swap and Demos. The amount of gear that showed up was overwhelming and approximately $8000 in gear exchanged kinky hands, raising proceeds to cover expenses for the Rubbout committee. Both Inrubber.com and Wares and Wears had new gear and clothing to sell, and the turnout of buyers was impressive. The vac-cube and straightjacket demos were a highlight of the event.

The focus of the evening was the Private Mens Condo Party at Mitch's. A sexy doorman greeted us as we arrived at the complex, there was a photo studio set up on the first floor for rubbermen to get pictures taken with Fenn, Mr. International Rubber 2010 and Brendan, International Mr. Leather 2009 runner-up. The second floor had a bar and social area and the rooftop patio had a bar and enclosed area complete with stockade and disco ball! I heard that there were some interesting shaving scenes done up there while I was working the bar on the main floor....

Afterwards most of the group headed to M2M for the Rubbout sex party although some attendees went to the Thickset Bear Dance at ANZA Club which I was also told was a great time. The sex party was exactly that...a sexy party! Everyone enjoyed the goings-on in the slime pit - dildo wrestling and such...and the Rubbout hospitality room was a very popular spot for most of the guys over the course of the evening.

Sunday morning we all reassembled at Pumpjack for the Rubbout Brunch and prize giveaways. After a good meal and shower of prizes from the raffle ticket sales (up 60% from last year), some of us headed back to Mitch's to help with the tear down from the previous evenings event and then headed back to Pumpjack for the weekly Sunday Beer Bust. After that my friend Marc and I went back to Mitch's for a special splash in the hot tub which lasted until the wee hours of the morning.

It was deemed by all a great time and one of the best Rubbout parties in the event's history. I am so glad to have been a part of it, and we're all already thinking forward to next year's event which will be a big one since the 20th anniversary is such a milestone. Once again, thanks to all the rubbermen and leathermen for coming, all the sponsors for assisting us to pull off such a great weekend, Xtra West, Pumpjack, Numbers and Priape for their shameless promotion and the volunteers and organizing committee for your tireless enthusiasm. I'm looking forward to 2011 already!

We are always looking for ways to make the event a better experience for everyone. If you have any suggestions on what we can do to make Rubbout 20 unforgettable, please don't hesitate to email me your suggestions! :)

I unfortunately was too busy most of the time to take a lot of pics but there will be tons of them available on the Rubbout website very soon.

Rubbout Running

Rubbout 19 has begun! Last night was a flurry of activity at Registration, the VML Rubbout Party at Numbers and the Darkroom Party at Pumpjack. Lots to report on and pics to post next week! :)

Heroes and Villains

The first Sin City in May is a 'Heroes and Villains' theme. I'm trying to figure out something that I can implement a black latex catsuit into. Any ideas? Right now, I'm thinking Snake Eyes. I already have a flak jacket and guns, only need to fashion a cool visor onto one of my latex hoods?

Dogplay

Hot rubberpuppy video from DominantRuhr. Thanks for the message and link! :)

"Fang" the cunt dog

Here is another from Gregkinky, sent to me by a friend! ;)

Panyhose Encasement

For those of you so inclined, Roguefetish on Fetlife created these diagrams on a good way to achieve multi-layer pantyhose encasement...never really thought of doing it this way but I think it would be a great thing to try out! :)



It really works! Look what JimmyJim did! Awesome.

Taboo Terminal

Check out Puckerpup's new blog at Taboo Terminal. He's got a good perspective on kink and depravity...everything with a bit of humor and lightheartedness. I have always said that the kink community takes themselves a bit too seriously. This is proof that there is a goofy side to us everytime we don our favorite skin!

Blast From the Past

The testosterone (and steroid?) -driven montage from the classic Cold War crazy Rocky 4. Plus another etched-memory-from-my-childhood view of Dolph Lundgren's ass in white spandex. Yup.
