She was the first fetish supermodel - long before the internet and digital cameras, Bettie Page appeared in photos and films. Today she is a pin-up legend, an icon of burlesque dancing and admired by bondage fans worldwide, even though she already ended her career in the late 1950s. A movie has been made about her life ("The notorious Bettie Page").
Bettie Page died in a hospital in Los Angeles on December 11, 2008 after suffering a heart attack a few weeks earlier, she was 85 years old.
Bettie Page - April 22, 1923 - December 11, 2008.

I just found these photos of Victoria Beckham in some very interesting "heel-less" high heeled boots, that seem to be made of latex. I know they say it's PVC, but it looks much more like latex to me.
Update: Our reader Roman has found more photos of them here.
New Fetish Community Site My Kinky Space
(10/Oct/2008)
In a time when MySpace randomly targets fetishists and deletes their accounts without notice, it becomes increasingly clear, that a community owned by a right wing conservative does not approve of sexually active and imaginative people - not even if they behave.
So it seems fetishists need their own online community and so it happens that on October 10th, 2008, the new website "KinkySpace.com" has launched. It's a bit like MySpace, just without the prudity - and even "Tom" is there. ;-)

A fire heavily damaged the workshop of Canadian latex designer "Polymorphe" in Montreal on August 25th. People were not hurt and it is yet unclear how much of the latex was destroyed or damaged, but it seems the place was set on fire by an unknown arsonist. Hopefully, Mario and his crew will recover soon.

Russian MTV has a presenter called Irena who apparently frequently hosts her show wearing different latex outfits. Found this (and more of her) on YouTube.

While the famous Barbie doll has been a favourite subject of many people doing their own redesigns and creating fetish clad and bound Barbies, her makers at Mattel have always fought such actions as best they could.
Apparently now they changed their mind, announcing a new Barbie collection for this fall, that is based comic book characters, including "Black Canary", wearing black vinyl and fishnet stockings and the famous "Batgirl" in her spandex catsuit. These might be favourites of Fetishists and Gothics everywhere. ;-)

Karin and Wanco, a japanese rubber couple from Tokyo have been designing their own very colourful rubber clothes for some time now. Their great imagination and playfulness make for some very extraordinary colourful and unique latex outfits. They have taught themselves how to make latex by trial and error over the years and now that they have perfected their craft, they are teaching their friends and are holding latex design parties where everybody works together in designing their own latex outfits.
They have also improved the vacbed into a very interesting "3D Vacubox" where the subject enters standing up.

Frl. Ehrhardt: High Gloss Dolls
(27/Dec/2006)
German latex designer ''Fräulein Ehrhardt'' has made a name for herself designing sexy latex items for women that are equally at home in high fashion as they are in the fetish scene. Katja Ehrhardt, former designer for Marquis fashion, has developed a very unique style of latex items with that certain female touch.
For a while now, she has also been doing her own latex photography, taking pictures of beautiful models in her own latex designs. Finally, she has opened a website with her own photography, aptly named "HighGloss Dolls". Very nice!
