I completely forgot about this related article and discussion: The future of (self-)bondage-fetish-wear. Will it ever exist?

Yesterday, me and my wife have been to Demask in Amsterdam to repair my favourite pewter pearl sheen latex leotard (I discovered a 1cm hole in the armpit area). I love rubber shops. I love the smell of latex, love to touch or grab the sleeky springy oily material.. Oh, I begin to feel light-headed just by thinking of that…

Chinese latex, Chinese prices, Chinese quality and Chinese New Year. Demotivators of the day.

Lady Arrakis (love her) nailed it again. I searched the Internet for raw and sheet latex manufacturers and indeed – mostly China. It used to be Brazil, but it appeared that the cows trees (latex milk is taken from) can grow in Asia with pleasure and without the diseases they suffered in South America.

It reminds me the situation with freshwater pearls. Chinese farmers discovered that pearls cost more than rice, and since they had already got warm water, all what was left to be added to the equation were freshwater pearl mussels and some skills. The result – Chinese farmers produce tons of good quality pearls on their backyards and Japanese Akoya pearls are squeezed out of the market (unless they are Hanadama or hmmm … also made in China 😉 Yeah, compare the prices.

But back to latex. Continue reading “Chinese latex, Chinese prices, Chinese quality and Chinese New Year. Demotivators of the day.”

Stumbled upon on eBay. Latex bolero single-glove

Updated on Jan 18, 2012 @ 03:35:

See Anne’s experience (with photos) with this single-glove in the Latex bolero armbinder forum thread.

What: Latex 0.8mm single-glove arm-binder

Where: the shop

Why: It looks great, doesn’t it? (Though there is no guarantee that the photo is made by the shop of an actual product). Also, it *looks* comfortable an inescapable.

You can not change the tightness of the single-glove, but it’s possible to order “made to measure”.

Suitable for self-bondage? Not sure… But check the followings links, possibly we can figure out a way to use it alone:

Girls-like boys, Otoko No Ko Club and a new Japanese art of cross-dressing

I love Japan… Though since I’ve never been to that country, the more correct way to express what I mean is “I love their balancing on the razor thin line between perfectness and madness”. And making art from any both useful and useless hobbies.

If you think of manga, anime, chindogu, cosplay, zentai, kigurumi, etc., this is the only country where this “hobby” could have appeared. Where else? I wonder if “dressing up”, associating yourself with a character or a character with the opposite sex is one of the way to break free from strict rules, traditions and obligations. “No, I’m not an ordinary boring 14yo schoolboy. I’m a supergirl! With a helluva magic power!”

What I’m talking about is cross-dressing in Japan. Continue reading “Girls-like boys, Otoko No Ko Club and a new Japanese art of cross-dressing”

Rubber-like zentai and seams

I would even say “very latex-like zentai”, and this is the reason why I chose this Marcy Anarchy‘s photo set. The reflection is very latex-like (before polishing when still covered with a veil of talcum powder), the wrinkles are latex-like and the whole “feeling” (the first impression you get from a photo imagining yourself in the place of the subject) is rubber-like.

Unlike the “fishy” texture from Silver zentai, very shiny silver zentai and Marcy Anarchy post, the surface of this material is smooth and I bet warm and soft leather-like to touch (yes, leather, if you do not agree that is looks like latex 😉 I do not know what type of coating this is, but it’s definitely not metallic and more like wetlook lycra (I’m trying to avoid using “latex-like” again 😉 the popular shiny leggings are made of.

Stumbled upon on eBay. Short bondage latex sleeveless suit

What: Latex bondage straitjacket surf-suit without sleeves. This unused suit is imported from England. Medium weight rubber (0.4 mm). It has a zippered back entry with five zipper pulls for crotch and rear access.

There is belting with locking buckles at the collar and waist. Five belt loops secure the waist belt. There is a 1¼” D-ring at the collar.

Where: the item, the seller

Why: This suit will render your arms absolutely unusable in no time without any sophisticated armbinders or single-gloves (are you flexible enough?) yet very comfortable for prolonged time (how long can you stay in a singleglove?). These are the major points:

Pantyhose, stockings and black and white fetish photography. Part III

What do you see in your dreams? Part I. Sweet pantyhose dreams

What do you see in your dreams? Anything fetish or bondage related? Tell us in this forum thread.

This is what I “saw” a couple of nights ago.

It was a grey day somewhere between winter and spring, when the snow is almost gone, but occasional frost is not rare. I entered a subway station, and immediately noticed Her, my former madness, obsession, mindblowing girlfriend.

She was dressed in a fluffy coat (or a long jacket) with a hood, jeans and short boots. All in yellowish-greenish-brown colours you usually can find in a forest during the warm sunny days, when leaves are yet barely visible, but trees are already enveloped in warm-young-green-toned mist.

I hope, you get the picture. She adjusted a bag strap on her shoulder and suddenly I noticed that … Continue reading “What do you see in your dreams? Part I. Sweet pantyhose dreams”
