Oh what a rubbery treat it is to be “forced” into perusing the rubber catalogues in pursuit of a suitable new haute couture garment worthy enough for the world premiere of the mysterious Rubber Cult Total Rubber Event on Saturday September 22nd.

To date Rubber Cult devotees have been able to observe the worship with rubbery apostles Sister Cynth Icorn, Sister Kim and Brother Larvatus Prodeo at a variety of events showcasing in the London fetish calendar over the last year:

• Torture Garden at Mass, St Matthew’s Church 2011
• Fangtasia at The Resistance Gallery 2011
• Torture Garden Easter Ball Ministry of Sound 2012 – Semana Santa Ritual
• Antichrist Birthday Party June 29th 2012 – Perverted Penitential Procession

We watched these performances with the appropriate degree of Awe and Wonder.  Now it’s a chance for us rubber enthusiasts to enter the sacred circle of Rubber Cult with this unprecedented occasion of “dressing for perverted pleasure”. For the first time in the UK rubberists will be treated to a night of pure indulgence. Performances, play and most of all, outfits will be strictly rubbery.

This is a RUBBER ONLY event so PVC, leather and, god forbid, fabric(!) just won’t hack it I’m afraid. Those rubber monitors guarding the entrance will be caressing and sniffing those who enter this rubber realm, so a whiff of anything other than the sweet, chocolately gorgeousness that is our beloved latex/rubber/gummi (delete as appropriate), will result in unceremonious ejection. Do not try to bend this Cult Commandment. You have been warned…!

Cynth Icorn quotes, “A pair of nylons worn with a dress is OK but a fabric T-shirt with rubber jeans is not. This is the first and only rubber dress code club in the UK and we want you to make the first night the stuff of legends.”

I’m convinced it will be. I’m counting down the days on my Rubber Bastards calendar as we speak. In the meantime, back to that outfit of haute couture rubberyness. I’m torn between some eye popping creations on the HW Design website… or, there’s this little number from ABlatex (you may need to scroll down until you find something described as “jogging suit”).  Those resident in the UK will recognise this as none other than the iconic shell suit, much beloved garb of chavvy individuals in possession of the notorious ASBO (Anti Social Behaviour Order).  I wonder what the rubber bouncers would make of someone turning up in chav couture, though strictly speaking it does follow the rubber rules to the letter.

So shall it be chav couture or haute couture? Decisions, decisions…

The Rubber Cult Total Rubber Event will be on Saturday 22nd September, from 8pm to 2am at Shillibeers, Carpenter’s Mews, North Road, Islington, London, N7 9EF.  Tickets are not available online but can be purchased at London latex clothing boutiques (see website for details) or by emailing kim@club-rub.com price £20.
