We wish you happy latex new year and hope that 2009 will bring you happiness and love!

Latex Kitty and I hosted our “New Year in Latex!” party last night. It was so nice to spend new years eve and night together with like minded kinky friends. We partied all night and everybody had a great time!

Perhaps eating less meat is one of your New Year’s resolutions. If so, you’re in very sexy company! Our good friend Ancilla Tilia was recently voted Holland’s Sexiest Vegetarian by visitors to the charity Wakker Dier (Official site in Dutch | Wikipedia entry).

Says Ancilla: I’m so deliriously happy because not only is it an honour to have won but this election has been organised by a charity (wakker dier - awake animal) that has my full support and admiration.

Being a vegetarian in a Northern European country is not a very easy thing to be, what with the centuries of meaty national dishes and traditions, but Ancilla remains committed to her decision not to eat animals. You can read her full journal entry at her site, and drool over the delicious and shiny eye candy that awaits you.

Congratulations, Ancilla!

Hope your New Years plans are festive and shiny, dear readers. Mr Rubberbrain and I are on our way later to 3XL’s and Latex Kitty’s apartment to celebrate the New Year in latex with other rubbery fiends. It’s becoming something of a tradition, and promises to be shiny and festive this year as well. Whatever you end up doing to celebrate 2009, try and bring a little latex into it!

Fetish Universe is moving their showroom to larger quarters, and as a result are hoping to sell as much of their current stock as possible, to make moving much less of a hassle.

Over 5000 articles from the latest collection, fashion items, unique pieces, designer brand merchandise, samples, shoes and accessories and more will be sold, all at bargain prices between 30-90% off.

Sale dates are 3 Fridays– 2 January, 9 January and 16 January from 10-18 at their current showroom at Anton-Jakob Str. 6, 83026 Rosenheim. Each visitor will receive a gift and an invitation to their grand reopening at the new showroom loft in February.

During the move, there may be slight delays in shipping mail orders until normal business resumes at their new digs.

Trés Bonjour is also making a move to a super new showroom. The showroom/atelier will be located right in the heart of Berlin, and will expand on their recent successes in both the fetish and mainstream fashion realm. Be sure and make it to their grand opening Saturday January 24 at 12:00 noon, where you can pick up lots of opening offers, view the latest outfits, hats,  accessories, or discuss your custom outfit.

Rubbergirl is a talented Danish artist living in Copenhagen whose artwork is taking an increasingly fetishistic tone as she explores her fascination with latex and BDSM.

In the past year, she has discovered new things about her fetish, and has begun to explore some of the feelings behind the fetish through her art. Newer paintings have become much more graphic in style, with a strong emphasis on black and white. Earlier works focused on her relationships and the feelings of isolation one often experiences before fully embracing ones fetish.

You can view her growing body of work at IsdanArt.com, or contact the artist to commission your own painting.

It’s that time of the year again… and the first kinky x-mas cards arrived. Please don’t hesitate, send us yours this year!
