Gothic festival “Summer Darkness 2009 ” in Utrecht – Part III. Fashion show. “Attitude Holland”

See Part I and Part II.

Publishing the third part before I forget about it for two more years 😉

These 22 photos are from the Gothic/fetish/lolita fashion show by Attitude-Holland. What I specifically like is the wetlook lycra. It also reminds me the “other” matte side of latex sheeting. This is the material I would like to have leotards, swimsuits and zentai suits made from!

Anybody can win a place in the fashion show in the following categories: fetish, gothic, lolita, burlesque/pin-up, emo or whatever the organizer/manufacturer invents. All models are from “the real public”. You can check on the website who won this year.

Gothic festival “Summer Darkness 2009” in Utrecht – Part II

See Part I

Two moments.

First. It took me two years to return to this event and finally sort and process the photos I made there. (There will be one more part). And today (what a coincidence!) I’ve been to the Summer Darkness festival again.

Second. It too me five years to figure out why my vivid photos look so flat and lifeless on the website. And the reason is … oh…. this is soooo embarrassing… wrong colour space!

Now I have to either reprocess all the published photos again, or leave them as they are. I will probably redo only the posts I was going to rewrite/reformat anyway. In this set there are pictures in both sRGB and AdobeRGB spaces.

Black and white sensual stories. Andy Julia photography

Why can’t I just repost a photo or a drawing I stumbled upon on tumblr, facebook, *chan or various forums and shut up? Why am I so curious that I begin to search the source, who the author is, what else he/she does? Why do I spent my time and energy to compose these messages which nobody reads, cares of or gives me money for? Yeah, demotivated again…

OK, some useless details you do not want to know anyway. The author is Andy Julia, a freelance photographer from Paris. Books, exhibitions, on-line and off-line galleries… All that stuff you can find on his website Andy Julia Photography, isn’t it what it was created for?

And the reason why I bothered with typing is that these photos “work“. I would like to be in these clothes, these situations, “to touch and feel”. These moody photos tell stories and … motivate my imagination…

What is the fetish sport #1? Roller derby or girls in fishnets and men in shiny pantyhose

Long-long-long time ago I stumbled upon a photo of a girl in tight jeans shorts, shiny skin coloured pantyhose and in-line skates. That photo (made by Boris Fomin, who later became Olga Fomina, yes, you guessed correctly) was the beginning of another big fetish of mine: skating in roller roller blades and shiny pantyhose. (Didn’t I mention this story before?)

Unfortunately, not many skate in pantyhose and let others take and publish photos of them.

Fortunately, there is a sport, where not only girls (who always wear pantyhose, usually fishnets but also coloured or mixed tights) but even boys can show up in shiny pantyhose.

See the photos and art below and visit the dedicated forum thread: Another fetish sport: Roller Derby? (Thanks to Culmor!)

Eve Ellis bound in blue latex. Part II

Eve Ellis in bondageIf there is Part I, there should be part II 😉

Interesting thing, these 30 photos are not that old, but they reminds classic bondage photos from around the 70’s-80’s (think of Irwin Klaw, “Bondage Life”). To continue on the subject of this post, most likely it depends on the “old school photographers” (70’s were already 40 years ago! Unbelievable… ) than on the model herself.

Yes, there are preferences and features (like ball-gags for Eve Ellis or burlesque for Dita von Teese), but check the results of Eve’s collaboration with contemporary Marquis (will post later, if I find them, or scan them by myself) – completely different style.

30 photos below.

Shiny Speedo S2000. A dream, just a dream…

I’ve never owned a Speedo s2000 swimsuit, but I hope it’s awful. I think the seams are itchy and scratchy, it’s not elastic and it fits horrible, the coating will peel off in a couple of days. It’s not even shiny when not wet. It looks like a cheap PVC leotard made by exploited kids in a poor village somewhere in the Far East. See the 16 photos below. Disgusting…. Especially in combination with latex stockings.

Actually, Speedo S2000 never existed. It’s a myth. All the photos were heavily Photoshopped. Have a look at eBay. See? Ridiculous…

Ohhhhh….. I want this suit sooo badly…….

Single-glove and arm-binder art. Part V

See Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV

Among various armbinders this set features some “open hand” single-gloves.

I’ve never tried such type of monogloves, but according to my experience with standard tightly-closed-end design and my favourite lycra shorts/pantyhose single-glove self-bondage technique, since you are able to move your hands and fingers, the blood circulation will be less affected, and the arms will fall asleep much later (if at all).

20 pictures below. Also check Single-glove (monoglove), armbinder art forum thread.

Pantyhose art. Paul Kelley. Part I

“Paul Kelley is a Canadian artist, born in Nova Scotia in 1955. … His quiet lifestyle belies Paul’s acute sense of the elements of fundamental beauty and sensuous allure. Paul understands the subtle difference between “sensual beauty”, and “sexual eroticism”. …

Paul’s art is a labor of love. Each realistic painting is the result of hundreds of hours of work involving the careful manipulation of light and form, colour and composition, to create an image which is passionate and alluring. Whether the subject is a marine art or a young woman in high heels, the result is a balanced image which is both powerful and yet serene, mysterious yet inviting. Whether or not the piece is sensual art by subject, the result is a painting which is sensuous art in it’s essential form. ”

This is what Advent Art website says about Paul. “…a young woman in high heels…”. Something important is missing in that phrase… Namely – “pantyhose and stockings”.

Stockings with jeans. What’s the thrill?

A very frequently asked question. Indeed, why to wear fishnets, colour pantyhose or stockings under jeans? What’s the thrill?

The thrill is in holes! Either “natural” holes or strategically placed ones. Personally, I do not like bare skin and I would wear very thin, almost invisible but shiny pantyhose underneath stockings.

See also my way of wearing shiny pantyhose and fishnets with jeans and do not forget about another “natural hole” – the space just above the shoes 😉
