Last week was crazy busy with several events and tons of people in town. Friday night was "Slave to Fashion" at the Knitting Factory, and Sunday was Kink Ball at the Ivar.
Sometimes I feel so terribly old and jaded. LOL I often feel like if you've been to one fetish event, you've been to them all. So little is new or exciting, and, honestly, the best thing about these events for me is seeing old friends and meeting new ones. The Friday event wasn't terribly busy, but that's really a non-issue. I ran into some people I hadn't seen in a long time like Talia Monet, Diana Knight, and Jewell Marceau. Some more familiar faces were there too, Byron, Betka, Gwen, Scar, Allen Falkner to name a few. I also met Gia Paloma (pictured here with Betka) and look forward to shooting her very soon!
As for the scheduled entertainment, the only thing I paid attention to was the Pretty Pervy fashion show. I've been a fan of theirs online and saw some of their designs in London, but their show was still so yummy (especially with Courtney and Shelby modeling).
I skipped the Saturday event, Masque, because it was really expensive and I'd heard only negative reviews of the last Masque. Seems I was right not to go. My friends who attended were not pleased, to say the least. The verdict? Crap food served on cheap plastic plates, and the after party closed at 1:30 instead of 5am. The promoters really fucked that one up.
Sunday night, Bob and I were put to work. Gwen and Rubbergal invited VacBed to co-sponsor the Latex Lounge play area. We brought a bunch of VacBeds down and invited people to take them for test drives. The best part was the unveiling of our newest model, the VacBox. It's super fun and restrictive but feels completely different than a standard VacBed. We'll be adding it to the VB site shortly.
Last night, Sonny Black organized a dinner for Tony Mitchell at an Italian joint near Beverly Hills. Betka and I spent the early evening discussing the Kink Ball weekend with Gemini and Gwen and I have come to some conclusions about fetish events in general. It's time for some new entertainment. Back to me being jaded for a sec here... We've seen it all before. Another fashion show. Another piercing suspension. Another bondage show. Another bad "fetish" band (WHY OH WHY MUST THERE BE THEME BANDS?). There's got to be more out there. I'm hoping that a really creative promoter comes along and wow's us with originality. It's gotta happen. I'm crossing my fingers...

I'm very honored that Tony Mitchell has chosen my book as the cover story for the launch of his new website, The Fetishistas. By the looks of it, his site is going to be quickly added to everyone's "must read" list.

On Saturday night, I took a bunch of VacBeds over to my friend's bar, The Eagle LA, for their monthly rubber night called Rub Out. LA may be a metropolitan city, but there aren't many opportunities to get decked out in full rubber gear in public. I was one of only two or three women at the event, and the only one in latex, but that didn't impede my fun. There's nothing like a club packed to the rafters with nasty gay boys, and it's even better when they're all decked out in rubber. Byron was there from Syren manning one of the shine stations, and two West Coast Mr. Rubber winners were also roaming the place with big bottles of lube. I set up a VacBed station on one of the pool tables and, with Bud's assistance, we proceeded to blow those boys' minds. =)
I'm getting ready to take off in a second for a shoot with Darenzia, Pia, and Angela Ryan. But I wanted to take a second to upload a photo from the latest GG shoot that I've been editing. Meet Stiletto! I loved shooting her for GG and booked her for myself in February. Stay tuned!

OK... Now let me preface this by saying that I LOVE THE GAYS. I mean, really really a whole bunch. 90% of my friends are gay men and I am one with them. But, every once in a while, I see something that I just don't get.
Today, I went to visit Bud at 665. Darenzia was with me and I pulled this item off the rack to show her. Perplexed expressions dominated both of our faces. I have to admit it looks better in the photos than it did on the rack, but my gut reaction to the word "singlet" is EWWWW.
And then, after I came home I was doing <cough> "RESEARCH" and came across this little number. OMG SO EWWWW! That is not in any way attractive. I really really don't get it. Maybe that's why it's on sale. Perhaps they should consider dropping the price even further.
I know it's not nice to speak negatively, but as an honorary gay (in some circles at least) I'm gonna speak up. Ick. Phoooey.
Give me a big leatherman in chaps and a codpiece any day.

Wow, I'm pooped. It's late and I just got back from dropping Apnea off at her hotel. But! Before that, she and Miss Conduct and I got out a couple of VacBeds and had us a teensy little photo shoot. =)
And, by the way, in the HUGE NEWS department, Miss Conduct dyed her hair last week. It ain't red no more. ;) But... Since she's inside a VacBed or wearing a hood in all of tonight's photos, I guess you'll all have to wait for the unveiling. I think you're going to love it! She looks all classy and shit. Ha ha.
Miss Conduct in, Apnea out.
Apnea in
Apnea on her way out
Once again... Life is good!

Finally, I've made time for a much-needed and long overdue update to my portfolio site. I still need to add some galleries, but the rest of it is done! YAY!
And, even better news... I've added a store to that site and am offering signed advance copies of my book. Gettem while they're hot!

Over the weekend, Betka and I hooked up with Gwen for an all-latex photo extravaganza! There was so much yummy rubber floating around the studio that we got a little too eager and didn't manage to shoot everything we'd hoped to. B's coming back in February, though, so we're gonna play catch-up for sure!
I was lucky enough to dress Betka in some of my favorite latex pieces and she looked fucking hot! (Duh...) Gwen brought along a bunch of her own stuff, but B and I were especially gaga for her HW pierced pussy hood and this crazy heavy rubber bondage helmet from Cocoon. That helmet combined with Gwen's "blow job box" made for one nasty Betka. It was very... errrr... "Inspirational". LOL
The full galleries will eventually be added to the MFD members section, but I can't resist giving you a preview.
There are some more samples and I'll be sure to add them to the blog later.
On a side note, I'm feeling kinda powerful too. I've afflicted Betka with the same infatuation I've got for Rubber55 hoods, and she was so inspired by playing in my latex all week that she's decided to branch out into more colored latex. Yay! Can't wait to see it. She's selling a bunch of her latex to make room for the new purchases. Go give her money and you can be all creepy about owning something that's graced her gorgeous body. =)

Betka's been here since the 30th, in time for a naughty New Years Eve celebration. We planned a couple of extra days to "recover" from the debauchery (and clean all that latex) and managed to get a bit of shooting in as well. One of the days we went downtown to do a little shopping. I had B put on my Libidex Ashleigh hood and shoot some images on the streets (yo). I really like the grittiness of it. Stay tuned for more, it's a series I've been working on. =)

A new little mini-set of my VacBed photos have been added to the VacBed website today. They feature Pia and KJ in a VERY slick and shiny custom VacBed. The full set's going to be added to my members section soon, but you can enjoy the tease over at VB in the meantime!

Let's celebrate with a photo of her and Stoya.
See?
Everyone wins...
LOL
