Fraeulein Ehrhardt just keeps adding one marvelous latex design to her website. Katja's sweet and sexy latex clothing appeals to any girl - fetishist or not!

Coeur-Jolly features wild corsets, sensual dresses, mysterious masks, micro-skirts, fetish toys and even submission armchairs born from recycled rubber. The raw material is treated until taking a surprising aspect of leather, while preserving the sensation of rubber.

A+B Latex is a French latex designer offering a huge range of "old school" and "classic" latex clothing. At first the site may appear cheap, but if take a look in the Men section, it's huge! You just keeps scrolling and scrolling and...

The high fashion designers have had their eyes on latex and PVC for long, so it's no wonder that the materials makes it to the catwalks from time to time. Gareth Pugh is back with another kinky collection.

Style.com writes: "The cotton-covered runway suddenly inflated into a billowing river, and out stepped a latex-masked creature in humongous Lucite platforms and a full-skirted checkerboard dress. He, she, it (gender soon ceased to matter) was followed by yet more outrageous figures, their completely covered bodies and faces
sprouting 3-D geometrical protrusions. Each was wearing some kind of coat made in bristling patchworks of black-and-white vinyl, survival-blanket silver foil, or plastic blown up with air."

Some of the outfits made me think of the splendid new Torture Gardens Clothing designs (shown on left) that I first saw at the German Fetish Ball back in June.

See Gareth Pugh's collection for spring 2007 at Style.com.

"Dominatrix and performer, Mistress Isabella Sinclaire, has recently been awarded full ownership of high-end fetish production house, GwenMedia, after a two-and-a-half year lawsuit.

The production company originally got off the ground when Isabella joined with the late GwenMedia ex-owner, Bob Zak, and writer/director, Jonathan Fitzgerald, in late 2000 to begin shooting a video series called The Ivy Manor. That is also the name of Sinclaire'?s dungeon/business and video production company." Visit AVN for the full story...

Way to go Isabella!

Alright! I have just updated the event section of my latex gallery with the photos I took during my visit to Demask Dortmund's "Royal Rubber" party, last weekend. Enter latex gallery here...

I'm sorry to announce that some of my photos was ruined due that amount of smoke coming from the fog machine. The smoke also made it very hard to get a good focus with the camera.

Dam it! I forgot it again, just like last year. The 4'th Anniversary of "3xL's : Lust, Love & Latex!" where on the 17'th of September! Why did I forget it? Well... I was in latex... at a latex fetish party! What a great way to celebrate a anniversary!

It's pretty clear that my life today is a world apart, from how it was when I first started blogging about latex back in September 2002. So I'll use this opportunity to send a million thank you's to all my readers, sponsors and friends there have supported and helped me the last four years! I love you all!

So, where do I go from here? You tell me! I'll open to anything from podcasts and newsletters to more latex articles and fashion guides! So please leave a comment and let me know what you, personally, want to see, know or hear!

Rubber regards

The Royal Rubber party was Demask Dortmund first go at coordinating a major Rubber party in their local area. The venue was "Schatten des U", a large old warehouse in Dortmund city middle. I arrived at 11 o'clock, geared up in black latex t-shirt, jeans, long jacked and a pair of goggles.

The venue consisted of a large main hall and two smaller halls located on sub levels. The main hall offered a bar, dance floor and lounge area. The bar staff was fitted with red latex t-shirts. The lower halls featured a lounge area with a coffee bar and a play area with two small play rooms, one filled with inflatable rubber tubes and furniture, the other had various bdsm equipment.

During the evening there where various fetish performers. The first I noticed uppon arrival - a rubber doll, strapped hard to a vertical metal rack, served as a sign. Nice! Inside a pair of sweet latex maids where making sure that there was no dust on the latex! ;) Later the couple from LatexWalk, walked around and played with the guests. In the lower lounge hall a bodypainter was working on artworks on different girls all night.

I spend the night taking photos and partying with friends. Darkwing Zero was celebrating her birthday, so everyone where treated with birthday cake. I talked to Sandra (The beautiful editor of Marquis), Steve English (Owner of Demask), Ronny Thiele (German photographer) and many other people.

I guess there was around 300-350 guest in total, most of them where wearing latex. But there could easily have been 500 people in such a large location. It was very hot inside, so many people went outside to cool down. Next time I think some air condition would be in place. But for a first go at making such a large party, it was actually a success. I had a great time!

I was in Dortmund this weekend, attending the RoyalRubber event, so a visit to the local Demask store only seemed like a natural thing to do.

The store is located in a old brick building, close to the Dortmund central station. The red building there houses the store is easy to spot with it's flames, Demask logo and a large heart on the sides. The store, there is owned by a very friendly couple called Jens and Tanja, has two floors and is light and spacious with white walls and old furniture. The latex is nicely hung on widely separated clothing racks, there left plenty of space for clients can move around freely and examine the items. There is a large fitting room and various installations with latex and BDSM playgear.

I have seen many fetish stores, but the Dortmund's Demask store earns a place among the top 3 latex stores, I have ever visited!

On saturday, September 16, Darc Karnival presents their "Latex Lube Party". Great party vibes, intense music and BDSM equipment set up thru out the club for your darkest fantasies, as well as fetish shows, kinky carnival games, vending booths, and performers all night long. Entrance is 10 USD.
I really love the flyer for the event! The comic is featuring the three sexy latex heroines, "The Liquor Lezbians", fighting their way to the Darc Karnival club located at 17813 Biscayne Blvd. N, Miami Beach.

The eighth Fetish In Paris party will be held on Saturday, September 30, in the heart of Paris at the Voûtes St Honoré. With an average attendance of 200, Fetish In Paris pride themselves of hosting the friendliest and most congenial fetish event in the French capital, and they are more than happy to welcome visiting fellow fetishists, who don't speak French (the organizers speak English). Admission is 20 euros (15 euros for ladies before 11:30 pm) and there's a strict dress code at the door. Advance tickets can be purchased at the Demonia shop. Visit fetishinparis.com for more info.

I still stumble across new latex designers. Makes me wonder how many latex designers there are around the world that we don't know off.

Hedony Design is a new brand created by two young fashion designers from Paris. The collections are a mix of sophisticated materials and latex, using Haute Couture styles and techniques. The cut-outs are at the same time modern and sexy. The dress you see here is from their new collection there is inspired by the fantastic and natural aquatic universe.

Mademoiselle Ilo is another French latex designer that I not been aware of before. Ilo started doing her own latex designs after being inspired by the French fetish scene. Her designs is very classic and chick and would fit any latex loving girl. Sadly the English and German version of Mademoiselle Ilo website is not completed yet. Maybe someone could give her a hand and translate it?
Ilo also runs a French online fetish guide FetishInParis.com together with her partner.

ErosArts has posted their photos from the Montreal Fetish Weekend 2006:

"The photos from Montreal Fetish Weekend are now live! It was an awesome 3 day event with some of the most recognized people in the Fetish Scene, including Rubberella, Bianca Beauchamp, Amrita, Rebecca's Rubber Room, and the premiere of Osmoze by the Vincent Brothers."

I just added 17 latex photos to my latex gallery from a new personal latex website called Rubber Dynasty. The site features the wonderful "Mistress Gwendolyn", who also sometimes switch roles to be "Sub Slut Gwen". Gwen's website is free for now, but it will convert into a pay site someday.

When asked about her reasons for creating a latex website, Gwen said: "I wish to capture the realism of my fetish for all to see and let them enjoy becoming a part of my real fetish life and enthusiasm. Personally, I am just a girl who has a passion for fetish, latex, bondage and the bizarre. I enjoy it all!"
Don't we all! Enjoy the gallery!
