Last order from Naucler =/

This was a while ago, but I tried on the stuff I got for my last order before Naucler Design closed down business. And here are the photos! ^^; Body and harness.    

Rubbery storage tip

Here’s a little storage tip for your small easy-to-loose latex accessories. Some underwear (regular underwear) brands carry their underpants and such in little re-sealable plastic bags. These are perfect for keeping your small latex accessories safe. Remember to keep darks …

Pin stripe corset

Tried this on again the other day, choosing outfits for the SPETSNAZ For Generations to Come official release party on friday. Had to take a photo, love it! I neeed to shoot this again! The problem is, it’s not exactly tailored, it puts a lot of pressure at the lower ribs – in the wrong way – no matter how much I try to fix it lower down. It just hurts too much when worn more than like 1h. =/

BUT! Must shoot it again! <3

Villa Domina

My hair is a sacred mess right now. And I’m as close to hungover as you can be without drinking. (Funny fact about Mia number 42: I don’t drink.)

Last night I went to Villa Domina for the first time. A couple of friends from Örebro’s new RFSU BDSMF group recently had their birthdays and decided to have a “kiddy birthday party” themed party at Villa Domina.

It was a very inspiring evening indeed! I’ve made so many new good friends through the BDSMF group. I’ve never really felt “alone” in my kinks and fetishes, but I think I might have been a little lonely (together with Robbie). In the group, we’ve mainly had meetings to just talk freely about BDSMF themes and it feels like I’ve been freed of something that has weighed on me, or rather weighed me down. I am not a freak, this is not unnatural and it is not just in my head or for show. No, it’s not like I’ve been hiding my orientation, it is not in my nature, but there has always been something there, making me hold back on my views. I don’t want to make this a rant, so to cut it short: the group has changed me and I do not think I would have gone to Villa Domina without them. And what a loss that would have been!

This is a photo of their dungeon (photo borrowed from villadomina.se), but Villa Domina is so much more than a dungeon. I mostly actually hung out in the kitchen (where the cookies were) and it was like any other regular house party – but with leather and latex. ;D Did I try out the dungeon? My bum hurt a little on the car ride back home, you fill in the rest. ;P I am not the one to have penetration sex or even show off my genitals in public, not with any kind of audience, but a spanking now and then is ok I guess. ^^;

I’m discovering new things about myself every day and it is so liberating! Just talking about these things makes me so happy! I am all giddy when I leave the group meetings, and leaving Villa Domina last night was the same! I’m realizing now that I really can’t describe my experience to it’s right, I can’t explain what I did really, because what I mostly did was talk and listen and laugh. I am eager to go again though, and try out some more of all that gear! ;D

I also had the pleasure to meet one of the organizers; Hanna Warg. I’ve been admiring her from the shadows for a while and I must admitt I was a little star struck when we met. ^^; She has a great site and YouTube channel where she anwsers questions, mainly on transsexualism, and I happen to know that she is currently writing a book on the subject of BDSMF. Great meeting you Hanna!

I really need to get more cute latex outfits! I had a really hard time deciding on an outfit, mainly because I’ve gotten a little too big for my cute little flared skirt. But at the last minute I remembered that I made a super flared skirt from a tractor tube many years ago.  I wanted to do a “gaijin-BDSMF-mix” of all those cute styles originating from Japan. It may sound like I don’t know what the frak I’m talking about, but I’d like to think that I’ve got my keis and lolitas and gyarus sorted out, last night I just wanted to do a western BDSMF fusion interpetation thingie. It was very last minute, but it was ok. I would never shoot in that outfit, the tractor tube skirt deserves a little more spotlight though! Need to shoot it soon! ;D

I never had the chance to take a full body photo, but this is my hair and make-up for the evening:

And my nails:

On wearing masks and make-up

This morning I reflected upon the fact that putting on make-up after a week of illness, made me feel like I recogized myself in the mirror again. I thought to myself: “Am I hiding behind make-up if I feel more like myself when I’m wearing it?” – because, you know, that’s what they say about people (women) who wear a lot of make-up.

I have not always worn heavy make-up, and I still very rarely do because it takes so long and in my line of work it would be ruined in seconds. But I do looove wearing it! Ofc I can leave the house with no make-up at all. Heavy make-up is a pretty new thing in my life, it was not until I was like 20 that I really started to experiment with make-up. I was in a good place in my life, my teen insecurities were fading away and I had started my studies at the university. And when I did start to experiment, it was like I found a new way of making art, with my face as the canvas, I could express something within me that I had had no way of expressing before. – I could conduct my beautiful inside out. Is that so strange? That it is not about being someone else, but rather expressing what is in my head, who I really am?

On this note, I start to reflect upon my fetish for masks.

Robbie always say that I become like a different person when I put on a mask – in a good way. Not not myself, just different – maybe more myself? I love masks on others, because of the mystery it creates of the wearer. But I myself love to wear masks because I feel like I can be more myself. Now, masks are often a lot different from make-up, they tend to hide a lot rather than enhance (which is the whole point of make-up). Note that the mask is for hiding features – NOT personality. Masks are magic, as soon as you put one on, you feel like you are unrecognizable and can let anything you want come out. As I also, in my own way, believe in magic, I cannot say that I do not believe that masks are perfect vessles for magic. ;D

And yes, I am aware that I do not wear like drag-heavy make-up, this was just something that came into my head on the not of my feelings on wearing make-up over all.

Rubber and latex clothing in history

Quite a while ago (over 2 years actually) I wrote about rubber and latex clothing in history (other than gas masks, wellingtons and other protective clothing) on robbiesphoto.wordpress.com. I though I’d sumarise and maybe add something in a post here, just because.

When I first got interested in latex and rubber clothing, I thought it was kind of a new thing - maybe dating back to the mid 80′s or something. But – looong time ago, I found this somewhere in a remote corner of the book of faces, and saved it on my computer:

I’ve linked to the original source, but it’s a Flickr account that no longer exists… =/ But my previous notes say that the image decription said that it’s a “1909 advertisment from Overland Monthly magazine.” 1909!!!

it seems we’ve been wearing rubber for over 100 years! Even clothes of spandex are a novelty (invetnted in 1959) compared to rubber clothing. There is no evidence this was a piece of fetish clothing, something kinky or wierd. So to all the rubber sceptics out there: you go around wearing those odd novelty fabrics like spandex; I’ll keep to the traditional materials – like rubber! ;D

Now, this use of rubber and latex for undergarments wasn’t just a fad, it wasn’t something that just died out. I remember reading a post on Facebook by HMSlatex about something called Playtex – underwear made out of latex. The first garment was introduced in 1940 and it was a panty girdle made of “electro deposited rubber latex”. Read more about Playtex here and revel in these steaming hot examples of the Playtex girdle:

Now, it still didn’t die out. Clearly, there must have been a few people out there who really REALLY liked this material, because it did end up very kinky in use during the second half of the 20h century. I recognize that there could have been fetishists of protective rubber and latex clothing before Playtex turned up, but Playtex most certainly took the material from the chemistry lab into the ordinary household.

I once came across Betty LaBamba’s Flickr account! She uploaded a bunch of scans from old rubber fetish magazines, of which the oldest I can find is from 1973! Obviously, the use has at this time, very much, turned into something very kinky indeed. Just have a look at these catsuits and heavy rubber temptations:

I want to end this little “article” with a short word on the future of latex and rubber clothing. It is with great pleasure that I see this taboo stained material make its way up on the high fashion catwalks. It was once as natural to wear as lycra, well almost, somehow it turned all dirty. Sad to say! Was it too arousing to wear, was it too sexy?

I do not only enjoy this material as a sexual fetish, I really do find it aesthetically appealing, the texture and the deep shine of it. I don’t know, the best way to explain the feeling of seeing that perfect black perfect shine is, well, like looking into the depths of space. Poetic – huh? ;D

New shoot – happy new year! ;D

Finally the harness shoot is up on www.robbiesphoto.com!

I mat say this every time, but I think this might be my best shoot so far! Firstly, I had been drooling over this harness from www.restrictionwear.com for litterally years! Then, when I got it, it took quite some time to be able to shoot it like we wanted. I planned the styling for quite a while and tried different looks. And when we finally got to it, I did something I had been beating myself up about for like forever – I dared to climb out of my stone face! XD

The result?

INTERVIEW for #NaughtyByNaturePhoto

Got a few minutes to kill during the holidays? Go read this interview with me by =Zanarky for #NaughtyByNaturePhoto on deviantART!

Late Halloween Party @ Darklife

I posted a sneaky photo of my outfit for the Darklife Halloween party on Facebook, but I was so pleased with the whole outfit I just need to show it off! (Yet again, crappy dark bathroom cellphone shots, sorry for that… XD)

Hoping to shoot it this summer. ^^ The antlers are part of an idea Robbie’s had for years. I bought them off Ebay (from Germany), still on top of the skull. Robbie and his father cut them off, actually threaded the inside of the antlers so I could screw them on an old diadem. Crafty! I love them for it, and I love the antlers! <3

Shoot sneak peeks

So, a lot has happened on the latex and shooting front since I wrote last. And I’ve got the photos to show for it!

A few weeks ago, the lovely Burmecia visited for a weekend of shooting, tacos and The Fifth Element. ^^ She is truly as lovely as she looks, wish I could spend more time with her. ^^

Since I wore my brand new dress from Westward Bound for the shoot, I snapped a photo for you (I don’t know when the photos from the shoot will be done).

Didn’t wear my hair like that btw… ^^;

Stay tuned for more updates tonight! ;D
