I stumbled across some very nice latex crafting videos from MJ Trends while I was catching up on latex news at |R|ubberist.net. There are three dealing with latex on the site - How to make a basic seam; How to make a curved latex seam; and Latex care guide. (The other one, Differences between fabric types, is especially handy to send to that coworker who keeps calling your pretty latex vinyl!)

The videos are great for anyone considering starting a latex project, because it's so much easier to explain something like gluing a seam in moving pictures instead of text, or even still images. While these videos won't tell you how to draft a latex pattern or how to craft a perfect hood, they will get you started on the basics needed before you can master anything more complicated.

Of course, all the materials shown in the videos are available on MJ Trends' site, and since they don't have a minimum for ordering latex, it's an excellent site for beginners to latex crafting, especially the thousands living in the Americas.

Did you notice the cute girl with the little latex tie in the "How to make a curved latex seam" video? That's latex fetish model Miss Mosh!

"So, you're basically telling me you spent $200+ on one garment alone, and after spending five hours at a party working up a sweat on the dance floor, you're gonna go home, peel it off, then crumple it up in a ball and toss it in your closet?

It sounds crazy, I know! But you actually can, if it's made from Nasty Pig Rubber!

Nasty Pig is a New York based company, there makes naughty Playgear from Nasty Pig Rubber. A form of raw rubber there feels like rubber, but looks like leather. Great for those there want to wear rubber out in public, but don't like to much attention.

What really got my attention, where the PlaySheets! They are machine washable too! So when you have finished abusing them, you just toss them in the wash. Easy!
