There has been a feverish buzz going round the rubber community of the universe as we know it… nothing to do with the Norovirus or the Hitachi wand I hasten to add. More to do with the fact that we are 2 weeks and counting to the second event of Rubber Cult on the 2nd of February 2013.

Serious rubberists who were present at the birth of Rubber Cult last September will recall an evening never before experienced by most of us. It was as if we had died and gone to rubber heaven. I certainly did that night as anyone who witnessed me will attest to…

The bar was set high that premiere night, although reading down through the schedule the Second Coming looks set to be an equally tumultuous celebration of all things rubbery.
• Marnie Scarlet will be there debuting her latest latex performance in her own inimitable surreal fashion. Mutterings of a Magritte inspired show are in the air.
• Adam Electric, the majesty of living latex sculpture will wow the throng once more with his latest incarnation.
• Lady Arrakis has never exhibited in the UK until now. Be there early if you want to catch a glimpse of her artwork depicting cute, humourous rubberist illustrations as well as her stunning fetish photography.
• Lottie Kixx will be down from Edinburgh for the evening to perform something deliciously debauched for the latex bourgeoisie gathered before her.
• Mistress Roug’e will be showcasing her dominance and sadism in a toe curling demonstration of rubber play. Pity her slave…or envy him…?
• Dudea of Germany specialise in medical and heavy rubber garments for fashion and play. A selection from their range will be featured on the rubber catwalk that evening.
• Rubber dungeon
• Photobooth
• Free champagne

Get there early as doors close at 2am. However the Rubberati need not stagger home in their 10 inch heels to get tucked up in their onesies just yet; plans are afoot for an after party in a fully equipped dungeon location in Warren Street. Cultists will have exclusive access to play all night. Contact Rubber Cult directly for further details of the after party. Hey, out of towners need not even bother booking a hotel at this rate!

A word of advice, with all that rubber ensconced in one area, it might be an idea to swathe your latex bits in the slickiest, slippiest silicone lube. Then you can slip and slide through the rubbery congregation with ease and grace, instead of the familiar squeaking and sticking as you squeeze your way through the melee. Nothing worse than rubber friction burns eh?

Rubber Cult the Second Coming will take place on Saturday February 2nd from 8pm to 2am at Shillibeers, Carpenters Mews, North Road, Islington, London N7 9EF.

Tickets are £20 and are not available online but can be purchased at Liberation, Atsuko Kudo, Breathless, House of Harlot and Honour. Alternatively email kim@club-rub.com to book your place.

Remember, Rubber Cult has a strict rubber only dress code. Don’t try to gain entry unless you are in FULL rubber. If you don’t bounce you’ll be relegated to PVC purgatory.
