Since it's friday I thought I should add a picture to my prior ramblings.

I've been sick and pretty much bed ridden for the last few days. So while I've been high on Buckleys I found some fun little latex based tid bits I thought I'd pass on. I am feeling better, but doubt I'll be up to too much this weekend.
An awesome interview about latex making the cross over to fashion and real life.

And
Alternative uses for Silicone Oil (latex friendly lube)
It can clear up certain stains on fabric.
Makes the colour pop on tattoos.
Fixes squeaky hinges.
It protects plastics and vinyl.
Food photography - uses silicone spray to give a luscious lustre to food on a plate.
Sewing machinists frequently lubricate their machines and tables with it.
It's great for lubing up bike chains.
It's gentle on skin and can be used as a shaving oil.
When used on a snowboard top side it stops the snow sticking to it.
It is however not good for Electronics. Specifically Blackberry tracker balls. And sync ports on iPhones.
I need some people to test out a website I built in iweb. It's the portfolio site I've been working on, but much to my dismay - I feel it's loading too slowly to go live. But I'm wondering what it's like for other people on other systems with other web connectivity...
So while I acknowledge that I'm likely going to be starting from scratch again (this time in dreamweaver), I'm looking for a few people to look at the site and tell me what they like & what they don't. What attributes should I carry over to my new/next hopefully better site? Also, I need to know if these testers think the site is publishable until the new one is ready, or if it's best to leave the domain empty till then.
Comment here or email me: aenux.model@gmail.com if you want to be one of the site testers. I'll reply to you with the web address.
An opportunity has presented itself and it looks like I'll be visiting Montreal mid march. I still need to iron out a few details but I've wanted to go for so long that I'm pretty sure it's a go!
I'm going to be looking for people to shoot with while I'm there and I'm all ears as to where the best food is in town and where are the must see sights.
If you want to book me for my trip the best way to get a hold of me is either through modelmayhem or my email aenux.model@gmail.com

Tomorrow is a ModelRepublic meet up at UrbanPhotographers house. I'm tentatively planning on going, but it'll all depend on how the weekend goes. There'll be a good crowd and I'm interested in seeing who all shows up other than the usual suspects.

This weekend I'm planning on doing some candid videos of me dressing/playing in latex. I'm hoping to do some latex in public and some smoking videos as well if we get time. I've been looking into a site called clips4sale and might post the full videos on there and teasers on youtube. I'm still in the preliminary stages of the idea and I'm hesitant cause our camera isn't in HD, but I'm sure it'll look alright. I've been really inspired lately to do video work as I seem to have hit a road block on visualizing for shoots.
I'm not looking to get into the adult industry, just some of the niche fetish markets.

i <3 my new rain boots.
Sorry for the silence lately. I've been lost in a fairly selfish world lately. Things like household administration duties and caring for my sickly sister have been high on my priority list while the interwebs ranked fairly low. Imagine that!
In less boring news.. My order of lube arrived from TheChemistryStore.com. We ordered Silicone Oil which can be used in place of sex store brand lube, particularly for latex use. I got sick of buying an 8oz bottle for 45$ and trying to lube up 2 catsuits with any regularity without breaking the bank. So I'm quite content with the 2 gallons of lube we ordered.
.... <3
We filled up that little lube bottle with the 1000cst and it didn't even make a dent in the bottle. *squeal* So I'm officially good for lube for the next while... I'd always been hesitant to order these from the states, cause I despise broker fees and hate shipping express (no broker fee when you ship express but express is way more $)... But I digress. We ordered two of the one gallon jugs. 1 - 350cst which is food grade/consistency & 1 - 1000cst which is super thick and very slow. They're both exceptional, but the 1000cst will be ideal for when we actually get around to buying some latex bedding.
Today on the radio where my lover works one of the workers was blasting AM770 CHQR and they were talking about the Canadian Politician John Baird who was recently outed.
The radio show was essentially right wing conservatives ripping him to shreds for being conservative and gay. Most of the callers were of the opinion that 'they deserved to know about his sexual persuasion.
But.. that's only indirectly the point of my post.
There was a caller, who likened Baird being gay too having a latex fetish. My mister didn't didn't catch it word for word cause it was across the shop, but the idea of it was 'if instead of being gay, what if this politician had a latex fetish? Would that be as big of an issue?' and the radio host fumbled a bit in saying 'well I don't know'. But the point was 'at what point do we draw the line?' and it was really well received from what he could tell. Because really it's no ones business to know if an individual likes to get dressed in a particular material that they enjoy.
It's obvious this caller knew a certain amount about fetish and latex. They knew not to liken it to bdsm or going to a dominatrix... Cause as history has shown us, the masses seem to react when another person is involved in sex acts like bdsm, homosexual, hookers, cheating, etc. But often times, something like latex fetish or nylon/retro style fetishes aren't seen as .as. taboo of perversions to be into. Really does the fact that the over weight secretary at your work likes to wear girdles and seemed stockings when she goes home... how does that interfere with her secretarial duties in the daylight hours?
I'm trying to find an audio clip from the show, but I'm on a mac and the website with the audio vaults don't work for me. Windows media player doesn't work with mac firefox and flip4mac is giving me issues.
I would love to hear what the caller said word for word, cause I hate passing along speculation. If someone feels particularly inclined to listen to the show and find the clip of the deep voiced man you likens it to latex I'll love you forever and ever...
The show was on around 2:00ish.
Or comment and lets chat about it?
Beatrix Mae in a stunning girdle bound cincher, CarminaFoto who graciously let us invade her studio in the back, the ever lovely Vane getting squashed in the middle, Birthday Girl Miss Marla Singer in the oh so adorable sock garters, and Me in the back on my knees.
It's true I get squinty eyes when I'm drinking!
The beautiful Beatrix Mae and Me. Again with the squinty eyes....
And that'd be my ass. Tom is a willful attacker when he wants to spank you... you get spanked!
By the end of the night I was pretty drunk, but so were most everyone else there.. I'm just glad I had a 10:00 curfew! Which is normally a terrible thing but parties on Sunday nights tend to leave Mondays feeling particularly gloomy if they last too late into the night.
I swear I came to the party dressed in my Betsey Johnson dress and intended to stay in it, but they kept enticing me to take it off and run around rubbery. Couldn't very well say no to the birthday girl could I?
I haven't felt like writing much of anything lately. Partially cause it's best not to show the world your dirty laundry & I don't like passive aggressive means of dealing with situations. And writing certain things here knowing who all reads this would be passive aggressive in nature.
My recent forays into the Calgary model/photographers scene leaves little to be desired. Not much has changed in the 2 years I've been in hiding, and I doubt much will change in years to come. People have really been showing their true colors lately, and it's been interesting to watch how we all interact. I've never played well with others, but the people I do get along with are true friends. I'm really glad to have met and reconnected with some of the these special people.
Everything lately has just reinforced how lucky I am that I have such artistic, caring and brilliant friends and an incredible lover to support me. Sometimes I forget that not everyone has such great people around them, and it's something I think sometimes it's easy to take for granted. Cause my friends are the greatest, new and old. So even though the scene hasn't changed and it can be frustrating at times, there is a really strong undercurrent of exceptional people.
