HMS Latex just launched the “Bruit Blanc” range for A/W 2010.  This collection was inspired by Butoh, a form of conceptual Japanese dance which is usually performed in white makeup and features grotesque and playful imagery in strange environments.

The fantastic editorial photos posted on her blog, bring this concept to life.  Featuring the photography of Phantom Orchid, with models Tessa and Marine. All of the items from this range are currently available in her Etsy shop. I know what will be on top of my latex Christmas wishlist!

CHICAGO (November 11, 2010) – The south shall rise again-perhaps that’s the best way to introduce the new Mr. International Rubber 2011. After three consecutive years of Canadian titleholders, Mister Southeast Rubber, G-Man from Atlanta, Ga., was chosen Saturday night from among nine contestants who came from locations around the globe to vie for the premier mens rubber fetish title.

Roger from the Netherlands was named first runner up. Johnny Switch, a Chicago native, was named second runner up. All told, nine men representing France, Germany, Italy and regions of the United States and Canada competed for the title.

The two-night Mr. International Rubber (MIR) competition takes place among a weekend of events that bring hundreds of rubber fetish enthusiasts together for fun and revelry in the windy city. Now in its second year at the Center on Halsted, Chicago’s LGBT community center in the Lakeview “Boystown” neighborhood, the contest and the associated vendor market events attracted close to 1,000 attendees.

“MIR shows you how great it is to come together and share an interest that, otherwise, can often make you feel like a little bit of an outsider,” G-Man said. “In my time as Mister International Rubber, I want to focus on helping communities develop their own local events, both here and internationally.”

The contestants not only competed for the title of Mr. International Rubber 2011, but also for a prize package worth over $10,000, which was donated by companies in support of the event. While the top three finishers walked away with the majority of the prize package, each of the competing contestants received a portion as well.

Contestants were not the only ones to walk away with prizes. One lucky individual who purchased his weekend tickets in early registration received a custom latex cat suit valued at $1,000 from Rubbellion.

Additionally, over the two nights of the contest, audience members were invited to participate in four brief “game show” segments where they could win prizes donated by weekend sponsors: RECON, Mr. S Leather and Miller Lite.

“I think the most striking thing about MIR is just the element of fun,” said International Mister Leather, Tyler McCormick, who was in attendance. “There’s a sense of humor and friendliness in pretty much everything that goes on here.” Indeed, fun is a key component of the Mr. International Rubber weekend.

This year’s events marked the second year of new ownership and the 14th annual competition for the title of Mr. International Rubber. Planning is already underway for the 15th anniversary edition of the event to be held November 4-6, 2011.

To arrange for an interview with Mr. International Rubber 2011, press quality photos, or to inquire about an appearance at your upcoming fetish event anywhere in the world, please visit the MIR website http://www.mirubber.com for further details.

By all accounts Torture Garden delivered another payload of fetish fantasia to a kink-hungry South Coast crowd in Brighton, Sussex, England on Saturday November 13th. Engaged elsewhere DJing I asked my latexual accomplice Spikeyo to give us the lowdown on the BDSM underground’s most rockingest clubnight, where she also managed to procure a couple of pics posted here by the dynamicly-deft Dafydd Owen, one of my favourite fetish photographers.

Spikeyo writes: ”Individuals were resplendent in their creative pompadour and plumage as far as the eye could see; especially the cute couples and cliques who dressed to match for added emphasis. Music pumped its way through every orifice and the delirious crowd grooved to a delectable mix of cool tunes both in the Club Arena and the Burlesque Ballroom.

”Upstairs the piece de resistance – the Boudoir Playroom – offered the perfect backdrop to the real-time canes and paddles making contact with flesh and the panoramic view of gyrating and writhing couples and threesomes. A truly impressive fetish party.”

My thanks go to Spikeyo. A more comprehensive review will be published – together with a selected and expanded gallery of pics by Dafydd Owen – available free from Skin Two either through its website or in issue 34 of LateXtra, details of which I will divulge as soon as they hit my inbox. Ooer.
