The third issue of the fairly new fetish magazine "von Gutenberg" has just been released, featuring Rubberdoll on the cover and in a photo spread. Besides lots of photos showing beautiful women in latex, this magazine also doesn't shy away from showing men in latex, a rare thing among fetish publications from outside the gay scene.
Also featured are latex fashions by Libertinesque, Madame S and Demask, as well as lots of party infos, reviews, model portfolios and more.

On September 18th, the 'Obsession' party is back at the 'Edelfettwerk' in Hamburg, Germany, a location that has quickly become the main hub for latex enthusiasts in Germany with no less than four big fetish events taking place there this year.
This time the event will have an indian theme and anyone who attented the recent 'Latexpo' at the same location already got a little taste of that in their very relaxing indian beach garden.

The annual fetish party in Lyon, France is back on September 25th, 2010, this time with a military style theme. This year's hosts will be Lucifire and Dave Tusk (Fire Tusk Pain Proof Circus). Other performances include Suka Off, mixing post-indus and body art, Josselin Guichard's new collection for Hedony Design and a fashion show by russian latex designers Rubear.
Unfortunatelly I missed the first three fashion shows because I was stuck in traffic, so here are the photos from the remaining three fashion shows, the Rubber Doll Contest and a few other shots from Latexpo.

A new movie is out on DVD in Japan, called "Rubbers". It is the story of a young woman with a latex fetish and her problems with men who do not understand her fetish and have problems dealing with it.
The DVD comes in Japanese with no subtitles, so I did not understand a word but still liked the movie. I am hoping that they will put out a subtitled version on DVD at some point.

As the 'Jamaica Gleaner' reports, the holiday resort that was home to 'Kink in the Caribbean' for nine years, aptly called 'Hedonism III', is being remodeled - and renamed!
After an extensive remodeling, the resort will reopen in October under the new name 'SuperFun Beach Resort & Spa'. This name will probably make it easier for many people to tell their loved ones at home where they are staying in Jamaica.
This year's 'Kink in the Caribbean' is moving back to the location of their very first Jamaican event, the sister club 'Hedonism II'. No plans have been revealed so far to rename that club as well.

For several years now fetishists going to London have had a trusting companion guiding them through the big city to the points of interest for fetishists. The ''Fetish Map London'' is now available in a new updated 2010 edition, so if you plan a visit to London, this could be of great help.

Are you using the new Firefox 3.6? If so, you may have learned about the new "Personas" available for that browser, which are in fact some sort of skins to put on your browser window. A large number of ''Personas'' are already available and I have created one too, with a latex theme of course.

Amber Moelter still loves latex. Her turn in a catsuit for the short film Catwoman: Resolution caught the attention of fetish fans in 2007, and her new YouTube mash-up of Katy Perry's I Kissed A Girl proves that she still gets a kick out of wearing a sexy latex outfit. "I could live in this red dress all day." she laughs.
The YouTube clip mixes the song with glimpses of Amber's new film, Dirty Step Upstage, and of the character known for now just as Girl In The Red Dress. "The red latex dress was a happy accident," she says. "I searched for the perfect red dress to suit the film, but nothing was right. Then I remembered Laura at Vex Clothing in Chicago, who I worked with on Catwoman: Resolution, and it all came together. The dress is seriously sexy. Wearing it makes me feel powerful...and slightly evil."
Some evil thoughts may have occurred to late-night partygoers in London's Soho, where the scenes were filmed. "By the time we got on set I forgot that the crew members and extras hadn't already seen it. It wasn't until I was walking around on the seediest streets of Soho in it at midnight after the shoot that I remembered the power of a latex dress. The guys checking me out were probably wondering which club I worked in."
For Amber, the reactions the dress gets from other people is key to its appeal. "When I'm that character in front of the cameras I feel an amazing empowerment," she says. "In between shots I actually forget I'm wearing it, but when someone new sees it I'm reminded of its subversiveness. The reaction that the dress garners is part of what makes it a turn on to wear."
The last time Amber caused a stir in latex, it was thanks to the spectacular purple and black catsuit created by Vex for Catwoman: Resolution. "As soon as I put on a latex catsuit I fell in love. In the latex I just felt so agile and sexy. The outfit in Resolution felt really revealing, even though there was actually a little black body-suit over the purple one so I was really wearing more layers than a straight catsuit. With the garters drawing attention to my upper thighs and my butt sticking out, it's much more of a dominatrix style." More Catwoman projects are planned, and if Amber gets her way they'll feature an even more dramatic version of the iconic catsuit.
"Latex is like the sexiest woman you know," she jokes. "No matter the situation, you can't take your eyes off her. You cannot help but slip away to the dark parts of your mind and think about what you could do with her."

She is already well known for her extreme outfits that often include fetish items, but now pop singer Lady Gaga met a woman even more known for her unique fashion style, Queen Elisabeth II yesterday at a charity event, and the Gaga girl from New York dressed up for the occasion in a very dramatic red latex dress with ruffles and everything. An interesting compromise between provocative style and classic look.
I just hope she didn't have sweat dripping out of her sleeves when she shook the Queen's hand. ;-)

On the red carpet of the recent "Victoria's Secret" show, supermodel Heidi Klum was seen in a very nice latex dress. According to news stories, she felt that the dress looked good on her now that she gained a few pounds after her recent pregnancy.
Personally, I couldn't agree more. Latex looks much better on a few curves that on those super skinny "size 0" models.
Fetish model Kumi Monster tells me, that Heidi Klum's latex dress is by Fierce Couture.

I just found these photos of Victoria Beckham in some very interesting "heel-less" high heeled boots, that seem to be made of latex. I know they say it's PVC, but it looks much more like latex to me.

Rasmus, the man behind the well known fetish blog 3XL from Denmark has just started a new project: A latex encyclopedia, the "Latex Wiki". He says that Wikipedia have now purged 99% of their fetish content and therefore the need to create an encyclopedia devoted mainly to latex fetish content became imminent. Now it just needs to be filled with content, so go ahead and join in the (latex) fun!

German latex designer ''Fräulein Ehrhardt'' has made a name for herself designing sexy latex items for women that are equally at home in high fashion as they are in the fetish scene. Katja Ehrhardt, former designer for Marquis fashion, has developed a very unique style of latex items with that certain female touch.
For a while now, she has also been doing her own latex photography, taking pictures of beautiful models in her own latex designs. Finally, she has opened a website with her own photography, aptly named "HighGloss Dolls". Very nice!

Karin and Wanco, a japanese rubber couple from Tokyo have been designing their own very colourful rubber clothes for some time now. Their great imagination and playfulness make for some very extraordinary colourful and unique latex outfits. They have taught themselves how to make latex by trial and error over the years and now that they have perfected their craft, they are teaching their friends and are holding latex design parties where everybody works together in designing their own latex outfits.
They have also improved the vacbed into a very interesting "3D Vacubox" where the subject enters standing up.
