Today, I came across some cool scans of a old latex fashion catalog from INN-SKIN, a latex vendor that existed back in the 70'ties. I took the scans and generated a flash version of the catalog. Originally the catalog came as individual pages for a ring binder, as INN-SKIN wanted to be able to update or add pages easily.

It's funny and enlightening to flip through the catalog as it gives an interesting view into the history of latex fashions. Some of the over 30 years old styles looks hilarious today, wile others haven't changed much.

The styling of the old photos is really funny! My favorites are:

• Climbing in trees wearing a latex catsuit - page 13!
  
• Super stylish Chinaman latex outfit - page 15!
  
• Lying in front of the open fireplace in latex - page 20!
  
• Having the gang over for a latex picnic/barbecue - page 21!

I haven't been able to find much about INN-SKIN, so please leave a comment if you know anything about the company, who owned it, how long did it exist, and so on.

Open the INN-SKIN catalog in full screen.

Great news! Latex Kitty and I has started a fetish rainwear weblog together. We as a couple are quite experienced in the latex fetish realm, but when it comes to fetish rainwear, rain coats and capes we actually consider our selfs as beginners.

3xL about rainwear:
I actually liked rainwear before latex. I first got in contact with rainwear in my early teens, an experience which slowly developed into a fetish. Today, I'm building up a collection of rainwear. My favorite style is vintage gentleman's raincoats made from shiny black rubber (SBR).

Latex Kitty about rainwear:
I love to wear rainwear, both, out in public and for play.The first time I got in a fetish relayed contact with rainwear, was as I met 3xL. Since back then, my interest and fascination about rainwear is growing and going its own way. I especially like vintage rainwear fashions from the 60'ties and 70'ties, like the Danish Børmax.

On the new blog we will cover the latest in rainwear fashions, the quirks of the rainwear community and what kinds of rainwear you can buy and where you can get it. So be sure to bookmark or subscribe and join us in our exploration of the wonderful world of fetish rainwear!

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."

Ebooks by Helen Henley:

• Pussy in Boots: The Autobiography of a Very Kinky Woman
  
• Pussy in Boots II: Further Confessions of a Very Kinky Woman
  
• The Dirty Dozen
  
• Enter with Trumpets

I will never forget the first time I saw photos of people wearing latex clothing! It was in a rubber fetish porn magazine I came across for more that 20 years ago!



Today, I found some of my old magazines at Yurmag.com, a company there specializes in vintage retro porn magazines. There is a huge selection of 1960s & 1970s classic porn magazines released by such labels as Color Climax, Private, Ero, Pleasure and many more. If you are looking for a special "hard to find" magazine, you can send a inquiry to the store owners and they will try to find it for you.

I was really surprised to learn that an issue of Rubber Sex magazine cost 115.00 to 135.00 dollars!

Visited the Atomage Appreciation Site today and found some great vintage photos of people in rubber and a interesting history of one of the early pioneers of rubberism.

The site offers detailed information on all the Atomage publications and history of the world famous Atomage Leather Couture company run by the legendary John Sutcliffe from the 1950's to the late 1980's.

The fashion from back then is great fun to look at today so many years later. Still the issues dealt with in the magazine was the same issues we deal with today. Here is a quote from Atomage International Edition No. 7, published 24 years ago:

"My girl friend is incapable of following me to where I would like to go. This is no reflection on her - she is just afraid of all the seemingly endless implications of rubber. Maybe she is right. Also, it is impossible for her to take the active role. I have to face the fact that she will occasionally wear rubber just to please me. I hear you saying that I am a lucky fellow and that I should be pleased and grateful to have such a girlfriend. I know that I should be, apart from the fact that I really love her, but still it is difficult for me to reconcile myself to the fact that no further development in our rubber activities is possible."

Sounds familiar?
