It’s autumn! Guess what I’m going to talk to you about? No! Not rain, red leaves, or Halloween (Even thought it is my favourite holiday!), but the Skin Two Rubber Ball of course :-) For the past two years Martin and I have left for London to take part in this ball which I have often heard described as the largest fetish party in the world. But the ball is a weekend filled with festivities like Torture Garden's party and the famous shopping at the expo. It is an ideal weekend for buying some new latex clothes and showing them off at the parties taking part in performances among them a big fashion show at the ball meeting people seeing some designers and models dancing laughing having fun and of course spending :-) For those who would have liked to take part in the events but weren t able I hope these next few pages cheer you up a bit and that some of my pleasure will rub off on you.

Do I have to talk about my time on the plane? Not really, I suppose. I’ll just tell you that Martin’s new strategy for avoiding jet lag is to take a sedative on the plane so that he is able to sleep the whole time and arrive in London refreshed and well rested. Since he seemed to fall asleep with no problem, I decided to take one too. Result: I didn’t really sleep (It’s not very easy when you’re contorted between two people!) and was drugged when I got to London. I was walking in the airport and I had the impression of being in a movie where everyone around me was moving really fast. It was really dizzying!

Saturday the 25th

Martin and I arrived on Saturday morning at Paul and Rubber Eva’s, who had generously offered to let us stay with them for the duration of our trip. We had met them briefly just one time at last year’s expo and briefly at Erotica 2003. When I had met Eva the last time I had found her distant and that her faced seemed taut for some reason (Maybe fatigue?). I got the impression that maybe she didn’t like me very much (Bah, I know, female insecurity again! Hey, hey) But the moment we arrived at her house, RubberEva greeted us with enthusiasm, warmth and friendship. I immediately felt comfortable in her presence and Paul’s, who is just as friendly as her. Eva was lovely with her blond hair down to her shoulders and her honeyed eyes. But, what I like the most about her face is her cute little nose and her honest and vibrant smile. Her body is also ravishing, with her incredible legs and breasts which make mine look tiny (Yes, seriously!) I immediately succumbed to her charm and from then on, wanted to be her friend. :-) Their large house has three spacious floors with lots of peace and warmth, like its inhabitants. Those aren’t just RubberEva and Paul, but also their 5 cats one of who just gave birth to 6 little kittens all furry and cute! Awwww!! I want one!! I could always hide it in my suitcase, couldn’t I? :-)

We spent the day chatting and getting the effects of the plane out of our systems. (The effects of sedatives last long! Aie!!) We grabbed a bite to eat in a pub, and Martin was able to have “a real English beer” as he calls it. After lunch we quickly visited their photo studio, which is a few blocks from their home. And what a studio! Completely renovated by Paul himself! Amongst other things, there is a medical room full of equipment with which to torture the patient! (It’s shock therapy, hey hey!) In another part there is a wall covered in a purple PVC sheet: This is the plastic set, as RubberEva calls it. There’s a third set-up made up of black latex walls as well as a latex sofa. Finally, Paul is in the process of building a fourth room specifically for bondage. A pretty impressive studio considering RubberEva only started modelling two years ago! Quite professional and I must say, very well decorated! And especially, there is also a make-up room, and RubberEva’s impressive collection of latex clothing. Wow! It’s almost like being in a little store. :-) Amongst other things, there is a row consisting solely of catsuits. It makes me smile to see all these clothes and think about the fact that there are indeed a lot of latex lovers on this planet. :-)

Afterwards we went back to Paul and RubberEva’s place to chat in the living room, and especially to have some wine, shots, and other cocktails, all the while comparing boobs :-) I must say that mine look small compared to hers! Alcohol and boobs, Yum! (And no I did not take advantage of my hostess! The things you perverts think of! :-) )

Sunday the 26th

I woke up pretty well rested on Sunday despite the booze imbibed the night before and my sleepwalking incident. (It happens mostly on trips due to the fatigue of jet lag) The plan for the day was to first go to Inner Sanctum so that I could retry on the clothes that Giles and Ana are making for me. (Yes, I too will have Inner Sanctum in my closet, hey hey) By chance, Paul also had to go to try on the costume he was borrowing to wear for the rubber ball; so all four of us went. I must say it’s pretty handy to travel in a car as London is big, and I don’t have much direction sense in the metro! Martin is much better, but lately he has the tendency to lose and forget things so I don’t have too much faith in him :-) (He’s going to be angry when he reads what I’m writing! Teehee!) [note from Martin: time for a spanking prescription!] We arrived at about 1pm at Inner Sanctum’s studio, which is in Camden. (I think) Ana welcomed us with her beautiful big brown eyes and her usual smile. The studio was no longer at the place I visited last year: much more spacious and well lit. Near a wall there are a bunch of patters attached on hangers, letting me imagine the amount of outfits that Inner Sanctum has created. And on one of them I could see my name written… I too will have my Inner Sanctum :-)

After our visit to the studio, the four of us went to the Camden market where there are many shops of all sorts, among them the fetish shop Fairy Godmother and Breathless. Nice latex, but still pretty expensive! I prefer to wait for the expo to spend my money, as I’m sure I’ll find what I’m looking for there (Ballet shoes, corsets, maybe uniforms…) at much better prices (Or maybe deals, who knows?)

The evening ended quietly in the living room. It did me a lot of good to spend Saturday and Sunday getting to know each other and relaxing. Monday, Eva and I our doing our first shoot. I’m sure it will go well.

Monday the 27th
FIRST PHOTOSHOOT

I once again slept pretty well, despite the fact that I had another sleepwalking incident. After breakfast, we all headed to Paul and Eva’s studio to do our make-up (Smoky eyes) and hair. The goal for the day was to first take pictures of the two of us dressed in uniforms, (That Eva borrowed from Inner Sanctum) on the set with the blue pvc walls, and then a bit more in transparent heavy rubber on the set with the black walls. The blue set up was mostly an excuse to let us “warm up” as Eva and I had never modelled together. Eva wore her black and white uniform (Short-sleeved top, knee-length skirt, and short black gloves) and I wore a white one with a short skirt and long sleeves. It was pretty cute, I must say!! I tend not to like white latex all that much in general, but this uniform suited me pretty well. We posed together for a good 20 minutes sitting, leaning, and sometimes with a riding crop in our mouths :-) The chemistry was very good and from the beginning I never once felt uncomfortable or had to think of what I could do with Eva. By the way, did I tell you that Eva has sexy little legs in fishnet?? :-)

The second set-up took a lot of time just for getting dressed. I was wearing my transparent catsuit from Polymorphe with a posture collar, a corset, and transparent froufrou skirt I borrowed from Eva. For her part, Eva wore a catsuit from Inner sanctum with froufrou on the wrists, a knee-length skirt, and a jacket. It was multiple layers, but at the same time very glamorous. (A bit of Eva and my essence, really) Ouf! After a good 45 minutes of getting dressed Eva and I finally went to pose in front of the black latex wall. We created a warm mood with flirting and caressing. Also, we were posing both for Martin’s camera, as well as Paul’s video camera. I really enjoyed touching Eva’s latex and rubbing myself against her breasts. It was exciting and comforting at the same time. I felt just right :-)

We then moved on to the black latex sofa where there were also transparent latex sheets. For this part I wanted to remove Eva’s first layer of latex. Also, she disappeared under the clear sheet, and I could press it against her body and face. Very erotic if you ask me! But mostly, I did Breath Control on Eva, (She is known for her breath control games) which was a first for me. I pressed the latex against her face, I sat on her face to prevent her from breathing, I used a ball-gag on her mouth over the clear latex sheet, etc… It was really different from what I’m used to doing, and at first I was worried about suffocating her. I have to say Eva really knows how to hold her breath! It was a beautiful performance on her part! After a while, I was less stressed out when I understood that Eva would let me know if she was running out of air. I was thus able to appreciate the breath play, and I think I would like to try it too. Who knows, maybe on Tuesday? We are going to do a second day of shooting, this time in the medical room! Woohoo!!
