BOO!

Happy Halloween, y'all!

Here was the hot sweat mess I was on Saturday night. Those wings were a health hazard for anyone within a 3 foot radius!

The bar was fun and hopping...until the Fire Inspectors showed up and closed the dark room in the back of the bar. Apparently, so I learned, the Inspectors and VPD make a point of always coming into Pumpjack on Halloween, dictating what a gay bar and it's patrons should and shouldn't be doing.  It pissed everyone off, and the crowd thinned out pretty quickly after that. Mr. P and I had already decided to stay in one place for the evening and it was too late for us to try to get in somewhere else. Regardless, we had fun.

Tonight, maybe I should dress up again and try and get some candy?!?!

Rubberstud of the Week #183

A New Convert?

Dylan McDermott in "American Horror Story" on wearing a LATEX CATSUIT: "There's a place in Los Angeles called Syren. It's like three floors of just SM gear. I spent an afternoon there, and they fitted me for a latex suit. I had to lube up, put it on and be fitted for it," McDermott says.

What, exactly, does a full-body rubber ensemble feel like? Steamy, McDermott says. "It's hot. My dream is that every home in America will have one. It has to be black and shiny. You can't have a lilac rubber suit, he says, laughing.

Man Of Steel

Henry Cavill, in addition to having the most awesome full name ever, is my new crush. He's so pretty, and fitter than fuck for his upcoming Superman: Man of Steel role. There were some green screen shots and on-location shots I just had to share. Does he not look absolutely dreamy with that beard scruff? Roar!

Your View for the Day

I like Latex-guru's outlook. As much as he is a sight to behold, someone needs to guide him to some nicer fitting latex...


Who am I kidding? He is still gorgeous! I love that this young body-building guy into latex has decided to try to make some easy money while doing it. Although most of his vids are for-pay now :(

Evolution

Kink Engineering in Toronto has been coming up with a lot of cool ideas since they've opened shop.  There has been lots of talk in the community about laser cutting, it seems that KE has figured out a new application which is totally pervy for the total enclosure fans.

Micro-Breathe Enclosure Hood
Starting at: $115.00

TOTAL TOTAL ENCLOSURE!  But without that nasty asphyxia problem!

This specialty latex hood is constructed to perfectly mould to the face and head, with no openings at all, except for a series of laser-cut micro holes around the nose and mouth.  These allow for unobstructed breathing while still looking like there is no opening at all from a distance of only a foot or so.

You can breathe, and talk normally while wearing this hood, but it is otherwise a total enclosure hood.  You can choose the option of having the tiny (less than 1/2mm!) holes punched at the mouth, mouth and nose, or mouth, nose AND eyes (so that it's not a blackout hood, but looks like it from the outside!)

These are super fun at events as people will wonder how you are functioning inside what appears to be TOTAL latex enclosure!  They'll have to come very very close to see your secret!

Note: The micro hole pattern may be slightly different on your hood from those pictured - KE have refined the pattern from their early models to make the holes even less visible - See the diagram for the exact layout KE now use [in link side view].

Damn, I am so getting one of these for IML next year! Laser cutting is the already being implemented and will be perfected for rubber in the coming years. I am patiently waiting for a new sheet bonding technology to come along (probably using lasers as well) that will eliminate the need for gluing seams. I will be the first one in line for those catsuits!!!!

Recon promo picture. Perfect.

I don't think there is anything that accessorizes black rubber and a harness quite like an exposed silver nosering.

MIR Preparations

Less than two weeks to go! I'm anxiously anticipating a weekend of rubber fun and ACTUAL vacation away from my less-than-fulfilling work life.

There have been several call-outs for volunteers and demo masters in the MIR Market. I had been asked to help out with both but I got an email from the MIR organizers last week that they want me to be on a panel discussion during the weekend (one of several planned). The panel discussion is based on our thoughts and ideas on building your own kink community. What are the venues and strategies and their opportunities? Through play, building a contest, building a club, creating families, and using the internet.

Each panelist will have (a) 5-7 minutes to introduce themselves and their background. (b) We have 30 minutes to cover a few topic points which each panelist will have a chance to comment upon and (c) the final 15 minutes to open up to the crowd for question and answer.

Here are some possible questions for discussion:

How do we build communities in smaller towns vs larger cities?
Titles vs. non-titles in engaging community involvement.
Social clubs vs sex play events.
Formal structures (clubs and contests) vs informal structures (private gatherings)
How can we use the internet and blogsphere?
How can clubs work together and share events without cannibalizing on each other and avoid burnout?

Sounds like a very interesting topic, and fortunately one that I have a lot of thoughts about :) I had told the volunteer coordinator that I couldn't commit to working shifts or doing any demos in the Market as I am committed to doing Rubbout promotion the entire weekend, passing promotional materials to other organizers and venue owners around the continent in the hopes they will post them up when they get home. On top of that, since last year was all work and no play at MIR, I just wanted to go and have a good time this year, and I plan on doing that but I also want to contribute, as it seems my input is appreciated by people in the rubber community.

I got two media mentions this week in preparation for MIR: one was in the Rubbermen of San Francisco Bay article in the Serious Male Bondage Journal last week and the other was in G-Man's article in Chicago's Boi Magazine - MIR Edition that came out on the weekend. How cool is that???
