    New Rubberdoll/CD/Tranny Community!
    Dollspride is a new fetish-only community catering to the growing number of rubberdolls, trannies, cross dressers and t-girls. If you're into crossdressing or dream of being the ultimate doll, why not sign up and swap stories with like-minds?

    The site looks good, and I recognized several profiles from other rubberist communities when I visited. I think it's a great idea to have a more specialized space for rubberdoll information and gender polarity discussions, since the audience is already sold on the idea, unlike in more mixed settings such as the IAR or RubberPal.

    Here's what Chuck has to say about his new hangout:

    This is a free online adults only, fetish only community put together for rubberdolls, crossdresser, tgirls, trannies, and such. DollsPride is on it's own dedicated server, is just 10 days old with 600 members, 3500 invites at last look. We expect to hit 2500 members in the next few month. Last noted users online high including guest was 1400. A major sponsor of Dollspride is femskin.com . FemSkin is recognized as the innovative leader in the application and advancement of silicone prosthetics for the transgendered worldwide. FemSkin hit it big with it's best selling product, the FemSkin. The FemSkin is a seamless anatomically Correct flesh like silicone skin bodysuit in a perfect female form.

    We wish Chuck and his new community the best of luck.

    Ego Assassin - Printed Latex Fashions!
    The name "ego assassin" refers to the philosophy that one can remake themself into any person they want to be; if only they can set aside all preconceived notions about who they are. Latex, being the perfect medium for transformation, allows you to become any character or creature you’d like to be.

    ego assassin, based in Toronto, Canada is owned and operated by James Hagarty, a graphic designer and screen printer, and Slinka, a former fetish model. The company was started by James in 2003 as a custom designed t-shirt and screen printing business and moved into screen printing latex a year later.

    ego assassin's signature style focuses on colorful, wearable pieces that serve as a platform for their distinctive printed graphics. Design influences and inspiration come from spy movies, concept art, comic books, and custom motorcycles. Many of the prints are inspired by vintage woodcuts, classical Japanese paintings, and Native American art.

    The use of printing allows for a greater range of images, and much finer detail than is possible to achieve with appliques. Their latest print, "Great Wave", is based on the painting of the same name by the classical Japanese artist, Hokusai. It is a highly detailed and complex 2-color print, the likes of which has not been seen on latex before.

    ego assassin also offers a growing range of classes teaching the basics of latex construction. The goal of these classes is to further develop and support the growing latex community in Canada and abroad. Their latest workshop, RUB 201, which covers the principles of latex corsetry has sold out well in advance. For information on future workshops, check out ego assassin's Facebook page.

    Xozt Fetish Latex!
    Xozt Fetish Latex (LINK REMOVED DUE VIRUS ON SITE!) is a personal webpage created by a rubber loving couple from Russia, where you'll find lots of free photos of their fabulous latex life. The site is smartly designed with simple navigation menus that guides the user through their galleries as well as a catalogue of third-party fetish videos. The photos clearly portray the enthusiasm these two have for their favorite fetish material and the joy they get from sharing it with the world. I for one think it's really cool to see sites like this popping up, personal pages from people in far flung lands, who enjoy nothing more than to share their love of latex with us. Best of luck to these two beautiful rubber pervs, and cheers to seeing a lot more of them in the future!

    While visiting this site, I stumbled across a few more sites from Mother Russia that might be of interest to Russian speaking latex fetishists, namely Mask Woman, a site devoted to rubber female masks (the sort often worn by crossdressers and male doll fetishists) and Rubber Droid, a forum devoted to Russian speaking rubberists. So until next time, dasvedanya and keep that latex love coming from the eastern front!

    Latex Adventures in Japan is new (a month old) latex weblog by Rubbergaijin, a teacher and student in Japan.

    Rubbergaijin lives in sunny Tokyo, where he spends his days waxing nostalgic about how cheap latex use to be, and how the kids now a days don't respect rubber TG's like they use to. His latex weblog is all about his misadventures and his search for the perfect latex loving girl.

    Helen Henley: Pussy in Boots!
    Found four ebooks by Helen Henley, regular column writer in Atomage magazine. A great Valentines gift for any rubberist partner!

    "Pussy in Boots, begins with Helen meeting Charles, a wealthy businessman. He offers to help her find a publisher for her book - a popular history of erotica - in return for her help with his own sexual interests and his ambitions to be a sex slave. Things only get better when, employed by a firm whose products include everything from condom dispensers to beverage machines for the office, Helen discovers the powerful effect on male sensibilities of leather couture and high boots. She comes up with some unique methods of dealing with male chauvinism and sexual harassment in the work place."

    "Not your conventional bonking book, Pussy in Boots is a woman's story, one that contains suicide attempts, deviant sex, and in part two dives deeper into rubber fetishism and sado-masochism as Helen continues to research her book. It is also a modern love story and there is an unfashionable happy ending. The story is laced throughout with extracts from her collection of writings of medieval and modern authors of erotica and in combination they form a satirical tour de force."

    Fetish Bunker!
    There are some deliciously perverse happenings going on at new Russian latex fetish site, Fetish Bunker. A very slick yet no nonsense site design with a decidedly post-apocalyptic layout presents viewers the work of these hardcore rubberists in all their hi-resolution glory. With fetish themes ranging from heavy rubber enclosure and domination to sploshing and inflatables, the site looks like a latex fetishists sexiest dream come true! The Fetish Bunker shoots are arranged into articles, of which the covers are available to see in the preview. On the covers, it's plain to see that not only are the models on the site gorgeous, the directors of the shoots have a seemingly limitless imagination, not to mention wardrobe.

    "Fetish Bunker is a paid membership site containing fetish pictures, drawings and video. The sites main themes are erotic performances with latex, rubber, vinyl, leather, lycra, plastic, metal and other fetish materials...

    ...Fetish Bunker contains only unique materials. The content of our website is the result of our own creative work. We never use the content created by someone else (except guest galleries) and we do not allow anybody else to use ours..."


    With an impressive catalogue of unique, seemingly high quality photos and videos, Fetish Bunker looks to offer viewers and webmasters alike a new source for rubber related adult content as well as a latexcentric community forum. We're very curious to hear what subscribers have to say about this exciting, new paysite, so if you have any thoughts on it, do drop us a line.

    BBC: Dog-lead Goths "Hounded off Bus"!
    "A goth who leads his girlfriend around with a dog lead and collar was stopped from getting on a bus amid fears for passenger safety, a bus firm confirmed.

    Dani Graves, 25, and his fiancee Tasha Maltby, 19, of Dewsbury, West Yorks, claim they have been discriminated against by bus firm Arriva Yorkshire. The black-clad couple said they had been told to leave one bus and prevented from boarding another. The bus firm said safety came first, but it was investigating the complaint.

    Mr Graves told BBC Look North: "We're used to strange looks, we're used to comments.
    "But we didn't expect it from someone like that. They're providing a public service. We had our bus passes, we did everything that you are supposed to do to get on a bus."


    BBC got the full story.

    Fetishlovers, Latex Love From Poland!
    In our never ending journey across the fetish world, we always love to see new sites pop up. I find particular joy in giving exposure to local scenes that are not so frequently represented on the fetish map.

    With that I bring you Fetish Lovers from Poland, the paysite of Warsaw's latex queen, Tanya. A self-described mature, rubber doll, living in the "latex age", Tanya looks to spread the rubber gospel to the burgeoning perv population of the former Eastern Bloc nation. Go check out her site, but remember you have to pay to get access to her growing gallery of exclusive photos and kinky fetish fiction. Now how do you say "sexy" in Polish?

    DVD Review: Bianca Beauchamp - All Access!
    Amanda Bittle of Blogcritics.org has writen a review of Bianca Beauchamp - All Access DVD:

    "Bianca Beauchamp: All Access follows Beauchamp's unconventional adventures during a whirlwind three-day bash. She plays host at Montreal Fetish Weekend, launches a book with long-time photographer/collaborator Martin Perreault, parties with her friends, and chows down on poutine (French fries drenched in gravy and cheese curd).

    The design concept of the video is novel and fun. It’s inspired by silent films, featuring clinky piano music and scene introductions set in old-fashioned fonts. The film was shot by Perreault, who has worked with Bianca for more than a decade. The closeness between the cameraman and his subjects makes for a much more natural experience for the viewer, which is nice."

    Rubber Scene in Croatia and Beyond!
    In our never ending journey through the wide world of fetish, it's always great to hear about fetish scenes in places that normally don't get much attention. In this piece published back in October, former Croatian Demask shop-owner, Igor Kolovrat gives an interview with Croatian lifestyle and culture mag, Javno. Kolovrat waxes philosophical on the psychological power and allure of rubber, the origins of the latex scene and it's future in Croatia and beyond, in this engaging and somewhat sobering look at his fetish experience.

    "Davy's Story"...
    Heart wrenching and poignant, "Davy's Story," is a short film directed by John Le Brocq, centering on the plight of Davy, a rather lonely submissive rubberist, who wants only to be played with. One glimpse of the longing in his hooded eyes made me realize just how fortunate some of us are to have someone to share our perversions with and how important it is not to take that for granted. It's not all sour times for our rubbery hero however, by film's end it seems he has found someone to play with him, in the person of a coolly alluring Lady Onna, who finally gags Davy to close the film. We can only imagine his fate beyond the closing credits...



    The description on YouTube states: "One of a series of short documentary films set in a lodging house run by Lady Onna and featuring a cast of weird and wonderful characters who pass through..." If this is but the first in a series, we can't wait to see who else visits the inimitable Lady Onna's mysterious abode!

    Kink In The Caribbean - Photo Recaps!
    As the days get a little shorter and the nights even colder, lets thank the good folks from Kink In The Caribbean and all their beautiful guests for making those of us who couldn't attend just a little bit warmer. With another November come and gone, KITC week has become one of the most anticipated events on the fetish calender. This year the organizers didn't disappoint with a week of parties, demonstrations and all out latex debauchery unlike any found in the world.

    Seemingly everywhere these days (does he clone himself?), our friend Michael Diamond, Eros Artist was there with his trusty camera, to bring us the fabulous images from this exotic wonderland by the sea. From the looks of things, he had his hands more than a little full, as vacationers, models and fetish performers from around the world gathered to do their kinky thing in their rubbery best. Photographer and latex lover extraordinaire, Alexander Horn of L.A.Tex was there as well and he's got the pictures to prove it.

    Miss Rubber World 2008!
    New York City's Miss Rubber World pageant is scheduled for January 20th, 2008 at Club Rebel. Once again hosted by the inimitable Baroness and featuring a number of New York fetish and club-world luminaries, the world's first fetish beauty pageant will return bigger and better than before.

    Back in 2006, fetishists from around the world descended on New York to play, dance, party and cheer on the contestants at the first Miss Rubber World pageant. Out of a field of fabulous latex ladies (and T-girls) vying for the crown, a rubber loving lifestyle submissive known only as Pet proved it's a dog's life after all and took home the honor of becoming the first Miss Rubber World and a prize package worth about $2,000. This year, the stakes are even higher, as Pet hands off the title to a new winner, with the prize package reaching over $11,000 dollars including gift certificates from such latex designers as Vex, Libidex, AMF Korsets, Betty LaBamba, Pretty Pervy and many others, a trip for two to Kink in the Caribbean in Jamaica and a trip to Los Angeles to appear in a Gwen Media fetish film!

    If you think you've got what it takes and you want to strut your sexy, slippery, stuff on stage, there's still time to enter the pageant and win your moment of fetish glory folks. For details, check out the site and be sure to take a look at the MRW Yahoo Group and photographer, Mark McQueen's photo gallery from the last Miss Rubber World pageant.

    What's Latex Got To Do With It?
    Ed Rothstein of the New York Times covers the "Kink: Geography of the Erotic Imagination," exhibit at the Museum of Sex in New York City. The exhibit, inspired by Katherine Gates (author of Deviant Desires: Incredibly Strange Sex) roadmap of the erotic world, spans the far reaches of human desires. Sponsered by lube makers, Pjur and Medical Toys, the exhibit includes displays on latex (Courtesy of Demask), inflatable, bondage, gender and animal transformation, medical-play, sploshing and a plethora of other naughy fascinations from the erotic smorgasbord of the human mind.

    "Handle masks and examine props and accessories, all the while learning about the larger narrative themes that bind all human eroticisms together, from the most “vanilla” to the most kinky. Bring your camera or cell phone and document your journey into this erotic wonderland."

    This is the most interactive exhibit the museum has displayed since it's inception. It's collection has grown exponentially since it's opening five years ago, with a number of revolving exhibits showcasing the many facets of the world of sex. The museum also regularly features guest lecturers, film showings, performances and other events.

    Project Latex Land Video!
    Based on the overwhelmingly positive reception the Project Latexland exhibit at the Vernissage received from both gallery-goers and media alike, it would be safe to say that the series of shoots, photographed this past May and June, were a tremendous success. This video that I dug up on Youtube is a behind the scenes look at Martin Perreault and Gil Peron's fantastic latex wonderland of erotic art come to life. Be sure to turn your sound on to enjoy Kevin McLeods moody, ambient score.

    The Sophie Lancaster Tragedy...
    On a seriously tragic note, I picked up this piece of sad news off of the Fetiche School forum (thanks Observer):

    While walking through Stubby Lee Park in Bacup, Lancashire UK, Sophie Lancaster and her boyfriend, Robert Maltby were brutally attacked by a mob of thugs. While Maltby is recovering from the vicious beating, Lancaster slipped into a coma and died on August 24th. Police suggested that the victims of the attack were chosen because of their Gothic style of dress. Five members of the attack have been arrested and their trial will begin on October 18th, as police continue to investigate in order to find the remaining attackers and witnesses.

    It's absolutely horrifying that such senseless brutality can be committed upon anyone, but to think that the victims were singled out for their dress is truly chilling. If you'd like to pay respects, and learn about the memorial fund the family is setting up her name, there is a page on Myspace for people to visit and send condolences.

    Take nothing for granted folks. Life is precious and often all too short... Rest in peace Sophie.

    Skin Two Rubber Ball Weekend!
    The Skin Two Rubber Ball weekend, the world's largest fetish event, is approaching fast folks. October 5th only about a few days away, so finish up your wardrobe details, solidify any last minute arrangements and get ready for a wild weekend!

    The theme for this year's Skin Two Rubber Ball is "World of Fetish." Think American rubber cheerleaders, rubber kimonos, pvc lederhosen, cowboys and girls, go vintage with an old England ball gown and corset, military uniforms from around the world, middle eastern belly dancers, rubber sahris, or go dark and twisted and match your outfit for The Underworld room... The only limit is your imagination - just keep it fetish! With 7 differently themed areas, DJs, live bands, acts and a well kitted dungeon area it's a fetishists playground.

    This year's evening events are:
    Friday 5th October - Torture Garden @ Mass
    Saturday 6th October - THE SKIN TWO RUBBER BALL @ SeOne
    Sunday 7th October - Sunday Soul @ The Embassy

    Latex Kitty and I are leaving for London tomorrow. We are looking forward to seeing you all there!

    Social Kink!
    Social Kink is a social networking site for the kink community, that was recently launched at this year's Fetishcon. Still being beta tested, it's like a kinky Myspace (could Myspace get any kinkier?), with searchable user profiles, discussion forums, articles, film reviews, event reports and interviews with such fetish artists as Rubberdoll, Julie Simone and Steve Diet Goode among others. This is a site that seems worth keeping an eye on and I'm sure this won't be the last time we're taking a look at SocialKink.

    Latex In The Suburbs!
    Great article from Marie Clare, surveying sex in the suburbs. There are a lot more kinky folks out there than one might think!

    I simply loved the comment from a 41 year old rubberist called Tom; "Often, we'll be watching videos on a Friday night, dressed up in all the gear, and we'll think, 'This is fucking weird.' But then you think, 'Who cares? I'm enjoying it'."

    IAR Going Offline?!
    International Association of Rubberists, the web's oldest latex resource and forum site will be going offline unless the rubber community gives Ataraxia some help to keep it running. The IAR has been online since 1998 and has amassed the largest free database of latex information on the web. From tips on care and keeping, to discussions on coming out as a rubberist, the IAR's membership numbers over 9,000 people worldwide. Such an undertaking comes at no small expense to site owner, Ataraxia and word is he cannot afford to keep it live anymore. If you appreciate all the time and money Ataraxia has put into the IAR, and want to see it continue, donate whatever you can.
