Atsuko Kudo, dressing for pleasure and transparent latex lingerie

What does make more influence on the image? A person or clothes that person is wearing? And does the material the clothes is made from make difference?

Here’s the approach of Atsuko Kudo. They slowly dress a model in transparent latex lingerie. (“Armour for Prostitutes” in SHOWstudio’s “Selling Sex” exhibition).

And what a transformation! From Sweet Gwendoline to Catwoman! They called it “Dressing for Pleasure” (I’m not sure if the model was pleased to wear latex, I had a great fun of watching the process ;-), but I would call it “Dressing to Change”.

Or “Dress to be tied”. I wish they proceeded with tying and gagging her at the same slow pace. Yes, particular clothes provoke further actions. (And we are back to this topic).

Facebook – end of story

Even Atsuko Kudo was deleted! Unbelievable… Facebook admins (or managers?) are idiots…

Thanks to @Overchief

Nevertheless I decided to give Facebook another chance. I registered under a pretty existing name, created a company page, even activated my nick using my cell phone, acquired ~650 friends (almost two times less then earlier). And guess what? Yesterday my account was deleted again.

This time I’m not going to ask for the reason, I do not care. Facebook proved to be absolutely useless. Not many visits, no conversations, no comments. Much-much less than during my first FB period. Users “disappear” faster than “reappear”. Just huge Firefox load.

I think Facebook has passed the peak of popularity. The popularity I can not explain. So far only two social networks continue to “deliver”: professional LinkedIn (mostly used in US and NL) and LiveJournal (in RU). Tumbler is good for finding new photos, Twitter for breaking news and live events.

Transparent latex catsuit and Lady Gaga

I could not believe that this catsuit Lady Gaga is wearing on the NME cover is made out of latex. I thought it’s nylon and only a pair of familiar reflections finally convinced me.

This bodysuit was made by Atsuko Kudo and is pretty much the same as the catsuits that Lady Gaga and Raquel Zimmermann were wearing in “Born this way” (see the hi-rez video below), except the colour.

I prefer the semi-transparent black latex version.

Latex, pantyhose, leather, mohair, velvet or ready-to-wear and Cerruti

Cerruti fashion latex mini skirt pantyhoseSilky latex, pantyhose (also with shorts), tight leather, mohair, velvet, high heels, opera length gloves, mini skirts, long legs… What do you think I’m talking about? Fetish party? Fetishists heaven? Collective fetish dreams?

Not even close (but it all depend how you look at it, of course ;-). Cerruti (French fashion house) with some help from Australian designer Richard Nicoll presented their fall/winter 2010 ready-to-wear collection for business women.

Latex, Pret-a-Porte (Ready-to-Wear) and Hussein Chalayan- part 1

Haute couture and heavy rubber have definitely something in common. At least one thing – no relation to the everyday life. The percentage of the exceptions are far outside of the (Gaussian) standard deviation (pun intended 🙂

In other words, how can you introduce latex into your street, office, casual, evening clothes? Let’s ask professionals!

In his fall 2007 collection Hussein Chalayan showed that latex stockings and latex leggings can be worn with pretty much everything and look neither pervy nor freaky. The models were wearing the latex garment made by Atsuko Kudo throughout the whole show. Notice the absence of ugly folds you can find on cheap stuff many people complain about. If you want to wear latex in public – look for quality. The downside is – the quality is expensive.

See 46 photo and a video below.
