One of the things I like about the fetish world is when severity and seriousness verges on artfulness and ultimately gives way to what can only be called batshit insanity. English/German magazine
Marquis (formerly
«O») is a glossy production in every way imaginable, from the paper stock to the layout to the latex and leather fashions it showcases. In the Id Unleashed universe of fetish publications, there's a mish-mash of cultural references, such as the rubber-clad Louise Brooks lookalike above, created by artist Marcus Gray. Gray is described in the pages of Marquis as a retro-futurist--thanks, I'll take THIS flavor of retro-futurism over the busted up clock parts favored by the current Steampunk trend.
Speaking of retro-futurism, I can't help but think that this mid-70s ad showcasing designs from latex atelier Sealwear is making pal of the Empire
Yum Yum's eyes turn into big cartoon hearts. THIS is some
Radioactive Lingerie right here!
Then there's the stuff I'm not even going to try to explain, like this Spiderman girl catsuit and hood created by a designer who goes by the single name of Gosha. He's pretty clearly some sort of twisted genius, and whether or not this is truly meant to tickle the nethers is irrelevant--there's no denying its awesome weirdness and wonderfulness.

The ImpressedWithTheCompanyTheLoveTrainKeeps Zone gives a shout out!
Ivan--THAT Wally Wood Witzend (2?) ink. is. AWESOME! :o
Spa fon! :D
I dunno, I'll take steampunk over the voyages of the Pantless Enterprise as depicted in the Sealwear panel any day!
Love the latex "Louise Brooks" concept, amazing!
I don't know that the Spider-man outfit is so outre in the context of that picture, because, damned if the "eggcrate" texture of whatever she's sitting on isn't made by a bunch of butt-plugs.
I love creative uses for kink objects.
For loads more latexiliciousness, I highly recommend visiting dollsrealm-blogspot-com. She's really plugged into the scene!
Anon: Thanks! I've got a version of his Weird Science-Fantasy #27 cover on the other arm. Once I'm done spending a bunch of money, I'm saving up for some Jack Kirby and Kelly Freas inspired ink, as well.
Great catch, Doc Mobius. I completely missed that in the Spider-Man picture until you pointed it out (no pun intended). I guess this is one piece of furniture that you'd want to have scotch guarded before your invited guests arrived.
Joey Zone deserves a MASSIVE shout-out for sending this mag my way! He's a gentleman and a scholar, and furthermore my favorite pervert. Seriously--he's raised it to an artform. *mwah*
Jack, I'm finding myself strangely warming to the idea of pantsless latex pachinko...
Doc M, you're so right about Spiderman's chair! Although I *think* it might have been made by British latex designer Craig Morrison, he of the Bug Bag. I actually have two Craig Morrison bags with that latex-egg-crate paneling stashed in my closet. They're a bit cyber for my tastes at the moment, but I do love them so...!
