Latex Clothing Takes You Back To The Future Of Fetish

Dashiell Bennett — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 10:55:51 EDT

Using creative and visually stimulating marketing practices to sell your latex clothing is all the rage these days—but did you know that this practice has been around for years? Decades, even! A curious fetishist has uncovered an old catalog dating from (defunct?) Canadian fashion outlet Inn Skin, dating back to what looks like the late 1970s and shot in what looks like our parents' rec room. It's safe to say that the latex fetishist of that era may have found themselves severely disappointed in the styles of the time. A loose flowing latex bikini is probably not what they have in mind when you think of that fabric—but then again those full-length pajamas look mighty comfortable. Check out a few more pages below and you'll see the one thing that hasn't changed—flashy advertising and some hilariously dated pictures can sell anything!

Rubber 55: Latex Goes Viral

Say you're a latex clothing company that specializes in unusual, hard-to-find and even harder-to-slip-into fetish wear—you know, the kind of stuff that most people need and don't even realize it. How do you get your message out to the non latex-wearing masses? Viral marketing to the rescue! Just shoot a video parody of "MTV Cribs" that shows off your sense of humor and your wardrobe collection at the same time, get it up on YouTube, and you'll be an overnight viral sensation. (OK, so it took a little over a year for this video to reach us—which means maybe the overnight part didn't work out that great. But then no one moves fast when they're wearing a rubber catsuit.)

She may be retired from the performing end of things, but Jenna Jameson will always and forever be our spiritual guide for everything sexy ... and if we ever start to lose conviction, there's always this t-shirt to remind us. (Or our copy of "Janine Loves Jenna", depending on whether we're walking around in public or not.) (etsy.com)

As the weather starts getting colder, it's important to bundle up—something for which this hand-crocheted Willie Warmer will come in handy. Of course, we can think of better ways to keep your nether regions warm, but at least this one comes in multiple colors so you can coordinate with different outfits. (etsy.com)

Wearing clothes made from your own skin...

Wearing clothes made from your own skin is a little too "Silence of the Lambs" for us, but it's perfect for those who want to be nude, but still want to follow a dress code. (bizarremag.com, via sexisthenewblog.com)
