Hi! My name is Andreya Fleshook, I’m a fetish T-girl and fetish designer from Montreal and fetish designer and we’ll be doing a show on july 3rd.

The thing is; there’s a expropiation warrant from a company called Socitété de devellopement Angus on the whole street where our club is situated. They want to demolish every thing to make room for a 14 storey residential building in the heart of the red light district of Montreal. We need all the publicity we can to show them that we are an important part of the night life here and that we are not as marginal a crowd as one could think. That we are but a part of a greater whole which is the international Fetish community! Club Sin is the longest running fetish event in MTL and together with its parent Fetish Weekend of Montreal gives the chance to Designers, artists and fetishist to express themselves in an environment where they can be what who they are instead of who they would want to be. The more exposure we can get the more they’ll see that we are a triving community which is part of the culture of the city and that we have our place in it.

We would really appreciate if you could post our link on your web page 3XL and give us your support so people can see it and know about us and our situation.

Thanks from the bottom of every Fetish hearts in Montreal!

Best of luck to Andreya and Eric and other Montreal fetishists who may be impacted.

Here’s one of the most egregious examples–a latex knock off of one of Pretty Pervy’s earliest signature pieces, produced and even promoted on YouTube by a Chinese firm. I’m a little puzzled, I have to say. With so many creatures real and imagined to create in latex, why not construct an original one to showcase your company’s capabilities?

Now, you’ll forgive me if I don’t turn this into a rant against Chinese latex companies, because truth be told, this sort of practice goes on a lot with latex–this is just one of the most flamboyant examples. Other more mundane English, American and European offenders can be found throughout eBay’s listings, new latex firms, or even from well-established latex houses who really should know better.  What’s a latex lover to do?

My advice: reward the talented houses behind the originals, and avoid giving your hard-earned latex money to the copycats, until they stop it!

[First of I reckon many Separated at Birth posts, with a debt of gratitude to the originators of the concept.]

By tomorrow night, a new and redesigned “Lust, Love & Latex” will be launched in all it’s latex pride and glory! Look forward to it… and please have patience while we work on the server and install the exciting new features!

Who don’t know the well known fetish movies Fetish Academy by Marquis? Beside Latex and Heavy Rubber, every fetishist will find in these movies something for your personal taste. Latex, Bondage, Gags, Heavy Rubber, and Extreme Heels and bizarre outfits are base in the fetish movies and with some of the most popular fetish models from the scene the fetish movies got the last kick at all. Those were some of the reason why I’ve agreed to be a part of the newest fetish movie Fetish Academy 5. The part, which I should be was described as the Fetish Queen of the movie. That means being the latex mistress of the other sweet fetish girls who played the latex slaves. Just to imagine playing with latex girls and doing what I want overjoyed me filming the Fetish Academy 5.

Although I never managed to get my act together during my visits to London and actually get to the Cafe, I’m always a little saddened when I learn of such a closing. And while the store may be going, you can still shop at their online store for kinky notecards, books and more.

House of Bias launched at the 2007 Kink in the Caribbean and made a big splash at the recent Torture Garden Birthday Party weekend, when Ms von Livid wowed a jaded London audience with her unique creations.

Ms von Livid trained as a designer at the Chicago’s School of the Art Institute fashion design program before launching her career as a worldwide fetish and burlesque performer. Her sophisticated new line blends high fashion and kink with wickedly inventive dresses, lingerie and separates and color combinations rarely seen in fetish latex.
