I'm quite a "japanofile" and been in Japan many times, so it might not come as a surprise that I had an ambition to start a new weblog revolving about this subject for a long time. Today, it becomes a reality! I proudly present: HentaiSquid.com - Your guide to the world of hentai!

The name "HentaiSquid" was inspired from works of the Japanese artist Hokusai, the godfather of tentacle porn.

So if you enjoy hentai related stuff, like erotic manga comics, Japanese schoolgirls in shibari bondage or sexy robots, I guarantee that you will find my new hentai weblog entertaining!

The enigmatically named, LTVS24, is a German fetish and BDSM online super-store that's been online since 2000. Sort of like the Walmart of fetish shopping, they sell something to suit even the most jaded pervert, from top notch latex gear from Marquis, Simon O and others, to high-end SM and bondage tools, furniture, sex toys, videos and more.

Be warned: The mind reels at the selection you'll find at LTVS24! Sort of like an H.P. Lovecraft story, where the protagonist views the impossible visage of some unspeakable alien and immediately goes insane. Within moments of browsing you'll find yourself exclaiming, "Oh my god, I need that!" and reaching for the credit card.

The LTVS24 clinic is a must see stop through fetish shopping Nirvana, with enough clamps, dilators, spreaders and enema bags to stock a gummi hospital! Don't forget a click through the footwear pages, where you'll marvel at the humongous selection of sexy, stripper-ific heels and ass kicking boots - guys I'm talking to you. Trust me, give her the boots or a latex nurse uniform, before you try fitting the latex gyno-exam chair in the living room.

A promising new addition to the fetish fashion world is London based, Boutique of Pleasure. I recently exchanged some messages with Jamie Gibbs, co-owner of Boutique of Pleasure, about his new endeavor and he invited me to visit his site and give him my critique. I was very pleased to find both his website and his garments to be incredibly appealing, not to mention surprisingly affordable.

"The material is an amazing aphrodisiac and seems to send all manner of individuals to their knees!! I believe that latex lovers want amazing designs for reasonable money that are built to last." - Jamie Gibb

From chic, sophisticated evening wear to flirtatious club gear and lingerie, BOP offers quite a wide selection of latex clothes, including some menswear as well, all available in an astounding range of colors. With an eye towards pleasing fetishists and the mainstream alike with affordable prices, quality construction and made to measure service, I think we'll be hearing a lot more about Boutique of Pleasure in the future. For more about Boutique of Pleasure, click around their site and be sure to read this recent interview with Mr. Gibb over at Social Kink

THIS JUST IN: I just received word from Jamie that he is holding a holiday sale of 20% off all orders from his shop. If that's not enough, due to the great feedback he received from the members of the Rubberpal forum, he's offering an additional 20% off to Rubberpals, making it 40%! Both offers last until January 15, 2007.

Heart wrenching and poignant, "Davy's Story," is a short film directed by John Le Brocq, centering on the plight of Davy, a rather lonely submissive rubberist, who wants only to be played with. One glimpse of the longing in his hooded eyes made me realize just how fortunate some of us are to have someone to share our perversions with and how important it is not to take that for granted. It's not all sour times for our rubbery hero however, by film's end it seems he has found someone to play with him, in the person of a coolly alluring Lady Onna, who finally gags Davy to close the film. We can only imagine his fate beyond the closing credits...



The description on YouTube states: "One of a series of short documentary films set in a lodging house run by Lady Onna and featuring a cast of weird and wonderful characters who pass through..." If this is but the first in a series, we can't wait to see who else visits the inimitable Lady Onna's mysterious abode!

With the abundance of latexcentric paysites on the web, there is a noticeable lack of adult sites online that features what for many rubberists is the quintessential article of fetish clothing: the hood.

There are few ways to describe the sublime satisfaction hood fetishists get from feeling one's head encapsulated in the warm confines of tight, restrictive mask or seeing others dressed as such. Be it latex, leather or lycra, whether the purpose is decorative, objectification, sensory deprivation or to project an image of power and mystery, the hood imbues the wearer with the power to obscure and transform their identity into something otherworldly, at once depersonalizing the wearer and personifying it: a faceless, living toy.

Well finally lovers of the hooded female form can rejoice, because you have a website to enjoy that caters solely to your desires. Hoodlovers.com was made to fill that niche by delivering exclusive videos and photographs of some of the most alluring models and mistresses from across the UK and beyond, adorned in an amazing assortment of latex, leather and lycra masks.

With some really top notch photography from the house photographers James and Janno as well as guest sets by the likes of Martin Perrault, Maria Coletsis and others, and a playful and lively site design, Hoodlovers is a dream come true for lovers of masked women. Seemingly as much like a labor of love as it is a pay site, the enthusiasm the webmasters have for their subject is plain to see. But Hoodlovers isn't just a catalogue of movies and photographs, it also aims to play host to a community, publishing user galleries and works of hood fiction.

"For those who appreciate the art of head adornment, those who like to explore the creation of characters, the sensuality, anonymity & playful aspects of hoods and masks and also for those who use hoods to experience sensory deprivation, breath control and SM scenarios, here at last, is a site dedicated to hoods, masks & head wear."

Take a look and let us know what you think!

It's getting harder and harder to keep up with all the new fetish fashion designers, with what seems like new online stores popping up every day. While one may get dizzy keeping track of the names, the steady infusion of new talent into the fetish fashion world, provides us rubber lovers with loads of new options to choose from while at the same time keeping designers at the top of their games in the competition for your fetish dollar. German designer, Maria Sander is one of the newest on the scene. The talented designer's use of loose rubber folds and pleats, combined with form hugging, skin tight pieces make for some spectacular looking outfits. With vintage hats, bags, belts and other accessories, Maria Sander provides a large catalogue of oh so chic ladies latex that would be as much at home at a fetish ball as a night out on the town.

One of the oldest latex garment design houses in the world, the venerable DeMask, has an exciting, new development in store for fetish fashion victims of all genders. They are finally offering made to measure and custom service! With many exciting, new designs having been introduced at DeMask recently, it would stand to reason that they would finally start selling their pieces precisely tailored to the customer's needs. I don't know anyone who has bought anything custom from them, and I'm curious to hear from people who have.

...and in another example of the fetish aesthetic seeping it's way into mainstream fashion, Italian fashion trendsetter, Marni is now offering four different rubber bags, as well as rubber jacket for fashionistas with a taste for the shiny stuff. While it's great to see latex and latex-like looks so ubiquitous this fall, the mainstream does have a way of jacking up the price don't they?

Here's a special treat that I dug up while cyber-stalking NY fetish badass, and all around international woman of mystery, Darenzia today. This video compilation, produced by Anastasia Pierce, from this year's Fetish Con in Tampa, gives you a little slice of the sexiness that you might have slept on. Be sure to watch towards the end, to see a piece of a cool performance featuring an unidentified model in HW gear trapped in a giant plastic ball like a human hamster. How appropriate, isn't just a microcosim of the insignificance of human life?



...and if you were wondering, Darenzia claims that she can in fact dance, despite her seemingly out of synch steps on the video. The compilation video was editted with new music!

Rubber Passion is a new paysite devoted to displaying the kinky goings on of Lucy, a female English rubberist with a thing for tight, rubber restriction, hoods and bondage. I think Lucy has done a lot of modeling for Rubber55, as I see from her photos that she wears their latex exclusively and I recognize the photo of her in the frilly, transparent outfit from their site. She cuts a striking figure, as the rubber looks great enveloping her sexy form from head to toe.

While she doesn't offer any preview videos yet on the site, she does offer a number of free photos for us to perv out on while we ponder whether or not to plunk down the $29.95 $24.95 a month for a membership. As it stands now, the verdict is still out on Rubber Passion, but we'll be sure to check back again with her in the near future to see how her site has grown.

As the days get a little shorter and the nights even colder, lets thank the good folks from Kink In The Caribbean and all their beautiful guests for making those of us who couldn't attend just a little bit warmer. With another November come and gone, KITC week has become one of the most anticipated events on the fetish calender. This year the organizers didn't disappoint with a week of parties, demonstrations and all out latex debauchery unlike any found in the world.

Seemingly everywhere these days (does he clone himself?), our friend Michael Diamond, Eros Artist was there with his trusty camera, to bring us the fabulous images from this exotic wonderland by the sea. From the looks of things, he had his hands more than a little full, as vacationers, models and fetish performers from around the world gathered to do their kinky thing in their rubbery best. Photographer and latex lover extraordinaire, Alexander Horn of L.A.Tex was there as well and he's got the pictures to prove it.

Love Larceny Latex... That's the tagline for the new film, "Walk All Over Me," premiering in Canada this weekend and hopefully the rest of the world very soon.

Directed by Canadian filmmaker, Robert Cuffley and starring Leelee Sobieski of "Eyes Wide Shut" fame and "Battlestar Galactica" babe, Trisha Helfer, "Walk All Over Me" is the story of a small town ingenue (Sobieski) looking to escape her doldrums by moving to the big city and assuming the identity of a well paid dominitrix (Helfer). Along the way mistaken identity leads to all sorts of sordid and darkly humorous hijinks as the girl comes to find her confidence and realize the power of her sexuality. Looks like fun, and how can you not love the sight of those two in latex? Check out the trailer for more.

Are you stuck thinking about what to give that special dom/me in your life that has everything this holiday season? Well master craftsman, Troels Jespersen of Whipcraft, has just the perfect thing for you, the ultimate tool of corporal punishment, a beautiful, hand made, state of the art flogger. These are not just any old torture toy I'm talking about here, Whipcraft delivers the Rolls Royce of punishment tools, sleek, sexy works of art that will please the eye along with the flesh. Of particular interest to latex fetishists might be the "Dominator DeSade," flogger which features a rubber coated, hardwood handle as well as latex lashes (ouch!). Available online since 2005, Jespersen's incredible creations have drawn rave responses at the Manifest Party in Copenhagen, The German Fetish Ball and the Skin Two Expo in London over recent years and it's easy to see why!

"WHIPCRAFTs philosophy is to combine classic craftsmanship and beautiful materials to create aesthetic pleasure. The tools are no longer just accessories to play, but an integral part of it. Visual pleasure and physical ecstasy is the ultimate goal – where individual and tool merge into one."

Reknowned for his fine woodwork, the Danish artist's passion for the lash was born back in 1985, when he was introduced to his local BDSM scene, joining Danish SM organization SMil and later becoming the group's vice-president. Over the years, Jespersen's passion for the darker side of eros has brought him into the realm of sexual politics, where he has given lectures, radio broadcasts and television appearances educating and pontificating on his favorite subjects.

Want to be the envy of all the other masters and mistresses at your upcoming holiday party? Bend your sub over and open up a can of designer whupass on the dear girl or boy with a Whipcraft!
