MY LATEX FETISH

LinkWhat can I say, I am a Fashion Designer by trade...and I love all things fashion, sexy and SLICK, and you gets no slicker than LATEX. *Click on yellow text for LATEX links to BUY! I always loved the look of latex, the feel, the aesthetic, the tautness, the warmth, the sweat...oh yeah, you can sweat your arse off in some LATEX, but you better believe ALL eyes are gonna be on you...

The Fetish that is LATEX is many things, for many people, but when you get right down to it, it's about the look of it, the shiny, slick, sexy, tight, revealing LOOK OF IT! LATEX makes me feel real good about myself, real confident in the sense that you gotta have balls to step out in some LATEX, in any community outside of the BDSM and Fetish communities... Strangely enough, you'll get that much respect, bam, straight out the gate. But then the compliments pour in and you know you got it goin' on... Is it about braggin' rights, not really, not for me...it makes me feel good, makes me feel sexy and gives me a great sense of positive personal image and confidence...and that's my fetish that is LATEX!

Latex is much like any other fetish, like leather, corsets, etc...you DO have to carry yourself with confidence, but don't be an asshole and let it go to your head, unless COCKiness is your thing, and I'm not saying it's NOT my thing...but, it the worse to be complimented and not be gracious... Now if you're in the lifestyle and LATEX is not a fetish, that's a completely different game, entirely...

But most of all, I think LATEX is empowering and makes me feel like a lil superhero of my own...deep down inside I'm a dork, lol...and I loved comic books as a kid, so this fetish of LATEX of mine does really go further back, but it wasn't till I tried on my first LATEX Cincher (with matching gauntlets) and Latex Biker Shorts for a photoshoot for Fetishes Boutique (now PASSIONAL Boutique) that I was hooked! My Fetish for LATEX was born!

Oh, would you look at that, HA! I found it! It's nothing short of a miracle, but I dug this photo out taken at a Libertine or Diabolique Ball from years ago...to illustrate my lil post, hehehe! I'm too many things...

Ok, so where was I going with this post? Oh, Yes! My fetish and fascination with LATEX, oh and before I do go on, my second piece of LATEX was gifted to me by a good buddy, and was a black wrestling singlet with a black zipper up the front, SUPERHOT...a size too big, but has always driven me to "grow" into it...LOL!!

No, seriously, the fetish of LATEX goes beyond the look and the feeling, and we're gonna explore that more with a short tale of the first time I played with a partner in LATEX...keep an ear to the router and stay with me guys!

What's your FETISH?

More about the LIBERTINE BALL!!!


So, this is a great opportunity for anyone, gay, straight, bi, freaky or not, to come out and show a little skin, get spanked for bad behavior or just to be a voyeur... I've done this Fetish Ball over the last several years and it's ALWAYS an interesting time, ALWAYS!

Over the years I've modeled and danced Go-Go, and flagged/fan danced at this event and it's always been well received and I've always had a good time...so let your inhibitions go and let out that inner EXHIBITIONIST! And come out for LIBERTINE XI!

Basically Shampoo Nightclub turns into a big fetish playground with a fully operational dungeon with furniture, complete with Doms and subs, dance space, play space, great DJs, performances, and eye candy in every direction! Not sure if he'll be out, but my favorite attraction, lol, is Carpet Boy, he's got his own apparatus that allows people to walk all over him, just like he likes it!

See ya there!

PS - Proper fetish attire is required and be sure to do your own research on dungeon/BDSM protocol, if you think you'll be into participating in these activities!

THE APHRODITE GALLERY

The Aphrodite Gallery is located at PASSIONAL Toys (620 South 5th Street) in the heart of the South Street business District. Aphrodite Gallery was created as Philadelphia’s showcase for erotic fine arts in 2003. Stained glass artist Cindi Bartholemew was the first artist showcased and was followed by dozens of other local, national and international artists of acclaim.

Originally located on the 2nd floor above the former Fetishes Boutique (now PASSIONAL Boutique) Aphrodite Gallery featured monthly exhibits and hosted dozens of PASSION 101 fantasy workshops until it moved into the new Sexploratorium building down the street where it continues to grow and evolve.

The erotic themes featured in the gallery have been sexually and visually diverse: from the mainstream photographic erotica of Tony Ward (of Penthouse Magazine and beyond) to abstract three dimensional pieces by feminist students, and most recently the award winning photography of Hataiiia

We're always looking for artists to show/sell their sexy and erotic art! If interested please contact our curators Eric ZONK of ZONK ARTS Gallery or Sam at:

aphroditegallery@aol.com

Make sure to include photos of your work or a link to an online portfolio of your work as well as biographical information and geographic availability to the Philadelphia area for our artists’ receptions.

Jayce Mirada & His "Boys of Bondage"


"BOYS OF BONDAGE" - A photographic essay of boys in various bondage situations by my very good friend, and photographer, Jayce Mirada, is showing at The APHRODITE Gallery @ 620 South 5th Street - 3rd Floor of PASSIONAL Toys.

Jayce and I have been friends for well, longer than we'd both probably like to admit, ha! But, as far as we go back, our relationship has always been one of making art! As I remember it, I think I thought of Jayce as one of those "nuts-and-bolts" photographer...and when we met and decided to shoot, he was, in fact one of the first few photographers I shot with, and he would let me bring a bag o' shtuff, fashions, props, make-up, etc...and we would jam out to Prince and make art.

So much time passed and Jayce was living down in FL and returned to the Philadelphia area recently, so it was with the greatest pleasure, as the co-curator of The APHRODITE Gallery, that I got him in the gallery with this small showing of affordable erotic prints from a series of boys and bondage that he has continually worked on for, well, many years!

His work will show through August, with a Closing Reception on August 28th from 7pm - 9pm

More of his work can be seen on his site:

PS - IF you dig deep enough, you might find naughty pix of me, somewhere buried very deep in the recesses of his site, LOL!!!!!
