VEX Clothing is selling various samples from their old design line on eBay to make room for the new one. The 23 items on sale ranges from a yellow pokadot bikini to a black trench dress and there is something for both guys and girls. It's a great opportunity to get some of Laura's great designs to a bargain price.

Just added a new artist to the latex artwork gallery. His name is Ed Mironiuk. Ed is cocooned in coastal New Jersey with his wife and two chihuahuas. He has been the illustrator for Tattoo Magazine for the past ten years and also creates work for everything from Marquis to the Genitorturers. When not illustrating the inked he feeds the creative monkey on his back liberal doses of lowbrow art, fetish mags, japanese culture, and dirty pictures.

Latex artists wanted!
Remember that the artwork gallery is still open for any latex teamed art; drawings, paintings, 3D, computer graphic or composites. Please mail me your name, url and five samples of your best artwork.

A year has almost passed since I last visited Tokyo. I miss my wacky Japanese rubber friends.

Karin and Wanco are still going strong! Their creativity and innovative latex designs has given birth to a new set of matching latex outfits made from pink, plum and gold latex. I'm so impressed by the skill and effort they put into their latex outfits.

Remember my post about the "Let's make a vacuum bed" party at the rubber restaurant? Well... They just had a follow up... "Let's make a 3D Vacuum Box" party! Hopefully I'll go to Japan again someday soon, so I can try it out!

Hot4Hogtie has a selection of unique toys for all you rubber bondage lovers out there:

The hogsak (photo) is a unique and original device that combines the headtrip of a straightjacket, the enclosure of a sleepsack and the intensity of a hogtie. It is a very intense bondage device and not for beginners. Once you are in it, there is sure to be a feeling of complete helplessness.

Even more radical is the Dogsuit/Gimpsuit. The wearer is placed in the suit with the arms and legs folded and encased in the sleeves such that they are forced onto all fours. The wearer look very puppylike but also a bit like a "gimp".

Mistress Vanisha elaborate on latex in a (all male) Montreal leather discussion session:

"In the last decade, latex fetishists have evolved into more festive and imaginative ideas. A latex fetish outfit no longer has to be dark and sexually mysterious; it can also represent childhood nostalgia, cartoon characters and have elements of popular culture in its design. London’s popular Rubber Ball, an annual fundraising event and latex fashion show, reflects the diversity and liberal attitudes that the sexual latex world has to offer. Even though its origins are rooted in the leather community, latex fetishism is not considered to be as male oriented. Mistress Vanisha differentiates latex fetishism as a fetish of the esthetic while leather fetishism has a focus of dominance."

To Be Publications Inc got the story.

Get a sneak peak at some of Vex Clothing's brand new spring designs at MySpace's Latex Creations group. Wow! I'm really looking forward to seeing Laura's fashion show at the upcomming German Fetish Ball.

Did you know Madame S? They actually got a nice selection of stylish latex clothing. I'm really fond of the "Moto Cross" top and pants shown here by the sweet Masuimi Max. Very nice!

My very good friends MissFuzzyBunny and Kenneth of NoPainNoGain where married two days ago at a small ceremony at Fredericksburg Town Hall here in Copenhagen. My wife and I attended the ceremony togeather with Kenneth's parents and sister and a few close friends.

Afterwards we had a nice lunch at a nearby café. It was a sunny if slightly chilly day. MissFuzzyBunny says in her LiveJournal that it was one of her happiest days! How sweet! Congrats to both of them!

When latex is used in any warm, damp environment, it's under constant attack by mold or fungus. Normally it's not a problem since latex is vulcanized in the production process. Not any longer!

Recently a team of English scientist has discovered a new stand of fungi there where eating up the rubber aprons used in beer breweries. The scientist says that new fungus, know as "Hevea Fungibilis", was found in breweries all over the UK, there was using wheat imported from Brazil, a country known for their huge rubber production.

Hevea Fungibilis spreads by touch and can do severe damage to any latex rubber item within a few days! The only way to avoid getting your latex contaminated by the fungus, is to stay away from beer and other brewery products!
