Eustratia Menswear
The first full Eustratia menswear range is finally complete. It has taken a long time and a lot of persuasion to get to this stage but I’m happy to be able to offer standard options to male customers.
The range, co-designed by Richard Ayres consists of a mixture of streetwear and vintage inspired pieces that don’t conform to men’s latex cliches and are closer to what modern men are used to wearing on a day to day basis. This hopefully makes customers that are new to latex more comfortable when exploring the material. A lot of the styles are not skin tight, especially on the bottom half, allowing for freedom in movement and comfort.
The range will be available online and will also be carried by Frankie Knuckles‘ boutique in Afflecks Palace, Manchester.

Big Brother Knows What's Best for You
As many of you may or may not know, Health Canada forced all retailers of alkyl nitrates ("poppers", "aromas", "leather cleaners") to pull all their product off the shelves this summer, citing concerns of possible fatal consequences of inhaling the fumes, particularly in a dangerous combination with heart medications, erectile enhancers like Viagra and Cialis, alcohol, or illicit drugs. Since then Canadian gay men have been figuring out ways to get their hands on product, and the only distributor of these products in Canada (and one of the largest in the world) is now taking Health Canada to court.

Firm challenges Health Canada over designation
BY KEITH FRASER, THE PROVINCE SEPTEMBER 23, 2013
A B.C. company that was ordered to stop selling leather cleaners used on items in the niche market of sexual fetishism - including bondage - is taking the federal government to court. The leather cleaners produced by Lockerroom Marketing Ltd. contain alkyl nitrites.
But in May, Health Canada agents accompanied by Delta police conducted an inspection of the company warehouse in Delta and asked that the firm cease any further sales and recall any sold products.
Due to the presence of alkyl nitrites, Health Canada designated the cleaners a drug, a designation that the company is now challenging in the Federal Court.
Also in May, Health Canada issued a warning that the cleaners used by Lockerroom and several other Canadian companies were known to be used by consumers to get high and may pose serious risks to health if they are inhaled.
But Richard Fowler, a lawyer for Lockerroom, said the products have been sold for 20 years and there's been no indications of any health concerns.
Fowler said he understood Health Canada took its actions because a woman who works in a sex shop in Vancouver was fired and then complained about a leather cleaner that was being sold in the shop, claiming it had a negative effect on her. "I understand workers' compensation came and got involved and then that was reported to Health Canada. It's arising from an employment case by somebody miffed that they got fired."
Health Canada could not be reached for comment on the application.
The May warning by the government agency said the three products sold by Lockerroom - Rochefort, Rush and Amsterdam Special - were commonly known as poppers, labelled to contain alkyl nitrites.

I'll cut the bitch that squealed! LOL
Apparently Health Canada did the same thing about 15 years ago, however I can't find any information stating such. For those I've talked to that remember the ban the last time, it only lasted less than a year before product returned to the shelves. I wonder how much difficulty Health Canada will have this time; they may have a challenge trying to prove the causation between the product's distribution in Canada, it's misuse, and it's potential health dangers. Given that gay men and kinksters around the world have been using the product for decades, that it's readily available pretty much everywhere else around the world, and that it is a sizeable amount of the revenue a lot of small local businesses generate, one can only hope that the products are allowed in Canada again soon.
I get the feeling that our despotic Conservative Harper Government is instilling their moral judgment on Canadian citizens once again....is it not a coincidence that this is happening during the Harper mandate? I hope a moralistic move like this gets quashed quickly in a court of law.

Reflection
I'm only writing this here as a public declaration of my mistakes...and hopefully it is a bit cathartic for me - more details may come out in the future, but not today - everything is too raw and painful right now. I hope you're reading, RN Jr. This is for you.
I've made some big mistakes over the last couple of months that I'm not proud of and have hurt people very close to me, in particular Rubb Nuck Jr. and Mr. P.
I thought that I had everything figured out and had all the solutions to make everything work out the way I wanted it to and assumed it would work out that way...I figured I could have my cake and eat it too, all the while I just ended up smashing everything and coming out smelling like a shitty asshole.
I am very sorry for all the pain and anger I have caused you two and I hope that someday you will forgive me, RN Jr. I was blinded by lust, happiness, excitement, and joy and not looking at reality very clearly for the past six months. Now that everything has been exposed for what it really is, I've starkly discovered that things cannot and will not turn out the way I had hoped, and now cannot and will not go back to the way they were.
For that, I'm sorry that I dragged you along this crazy journey; it was the wrong journey to take with you, and it was never my intent for everything to blow up and hurt all of us. Now I don't have you as a lover, a friend, or a rubberboy anymore...I have lost my amazing connection with you and potentially lost my most amazing sex partner forever.
The funny thing is, things did unfold almost just as we expected they might at the very beginning, yet we still ended up seemingly surprised, and ultimately devastated with the final outcome. I loved you and still love you and should've known better...as soon as love came into the equation I should've ended it, but I was too enthralled with you to let you go.
Rubb Nuck Jr: I'm very sorry for everything. I hope someday you will forgive me.

Prosit!
Finally, a rubber outfit for Oktoberfest! LOVE this latex lederhosen by Rubaddiction....I've heard some German rubbermen in the past say that they have worn or seen other guys wearing latex outfits out drinking during the famous German festival, but this is the first time I've seen it professionally made! Excellent!
