Squeaky Rubber - Checkerboard

Deirdre
Are zebras black with white stripes or white with black stripes? (If you believe this old French comic strip, they’re green with white and black stripes.)

This fundamental problem also applies to checkerboards, and Squeaky Rubber’s Elisa Kumaki studied the question with this lovely catsuit kit called Checkerboard.

The box comes with 13 parts, including two fun skins : one with a traditional hood’s eye and mouth openings, and the other giving full coverage like a zentai suit.

Most of the items are underwear and shirt layer, leaving you the opportunity to wear something over top.. a corset, perhaps?

A clever zipper is available on the shirt and pants layer - you should be able to use them on other catsuits as well - or wear them over your bare skin if you like that kind of practical joke ;)

lelo
It’s been a while since we covered Squeaky Rubber, so it was time to have a look at what’s new and fun in Elisa’s store.

We both love the original textures she comes up with and Checkerboard really caught our eye in the red black version shown here by Mistress. Elisa also offers a green/black and grey/black version.

I’m not quite sure where and when to wear this, an medieval fair as a joker maybe, still at her prices it’s a very affordable way make a fashion statement.

Her little sky box is slowly filling up with great and unusual designs, take some time shopping around, i’m sure you’ll find some unique pieces that you will love.

You’ll really stand out at a party wearing one of these..though i’m not sure if that’s a good thing. *winks*

Squeaky Rubber - Burning Star Catsuit and Star Harness

Deirdre:
We dropped by Elisa’s little skybox to see what was new since our last visit, and I was pleasantly surprised to find these new low-cost outfits - I hate to call good quality work like this a “cheapie”.

Burning Star has Squeaky’s trademark translucent look to it, and it’s gorgeous.

You get two pairs of gloves (I’m wearing the contrasting black, but there’s a zentai-effect, same color glove included) and two pairs of stockings, along with two bottoms and two tops.

There’s no jacket layer included, which makes sense - why wear a full catsuit over something else?

The black star motif is a neat touch, and a change from plain, solid catsuits.

Elisa tells me she has new things coming up... we’ll keep you posted :)

lelo:
Nothing says sub quite as much as a good belted harness, and here it is.. *winks*

The Harness comes in black (full picture), lime, red (close up), brown, pink, silver and white.

You also get all layers so you can mix and match them to your outfit, do you wear it under or over a corset??

Ohh you should see the back it looks great... ahh you can't... well get your own and you can stare at your own bum for a change.

Next to the harness you get a nice rubber-skin, which Elisa still calls a prototype, not sure why it looks great.

The skin tone is neutral and so is the make-up, so for me it works without losing my face. *smiles*

At this price no sub should be with out one.

Bootgasm - Sensual

Deirdre:
Another nice find at Twisted Orchid.. spotted someone wearing these, and we just headed straight for the store. Who could resist that name?

I like stiletto heels. A lot. I may have told half the designers in Second Life that I wanted a pair of these. (They're from Domination Shop in Germany, if you're curious.)

So the Sensual ankle boots are a step in the right direction.

A good stiletto heel, excellent textures, and a good resize script : I hit -5% five times (which counter-intuitively reduces to 77% of original, count it for yourself!)

Expect a fair bit of fitting out of the box : rotating and moving up and down to make the boots even.

Aside from that, good, simple ankle boots. No heel click, no bling, no fuss. Wear them with jeans, or with a nice Squeaky Rubber catsuit :)

lelo:
Well these boots are made for Mistress, high heels, pointy nose and more than a few belts.

When we were at the store we were in luck to find Tad putting the last hand on the new store, which is bigger, better and full of boots, boots and more boots.

The store is divided into a couple of departments to make searching easy, there is a neko/moon boot department, thigh high, ankle and calf boots are in their own corners of the store.

And there is a Fetish department, where the boots have some nice names like: enslaved, dominant and tied.

So have a look, it's the largest boot store in SL according to Tad, we didn't check, so if you know a bigger one, please let us know.

Squeaky Rubber - Draconic Catsuit

Deirdre:
A neat whalenet effect on a latex catsuit, this is Draconic by Squeaky Rubber.

As usual with Squeaky, it comes in a rainbow of colors : blue gem, pink, metal, red, green, purple and blood red.

In all but the red, the color is down the middle, and in the red, the middle is black and the color is on the "outside".

Don't want any black at all? The blood red and blue gem are almost solid, with only a slightly darker band down the sides.

See how carefully we shop for you guys? ;)

And as we've said before, Elisa will do custom colors on request.

Maybe this is what latex would look like if Chanel made the outfits.

lelo:
A simple 7 part catsuit, the perfect base for a special outfit.

In this kit you get the top in 3 layers and the bottom in 2 layers so you can mix and match.

You'll also get a pair of gloves and stockings matching the rest of the outfit.

As usual with Squeaky Rubber the texturing makes the catsuit really stand out, giving it a scale like effect in this case.

So add your own boots, gear and hood and you can make your own unique look.

Squeaky Rubber - Baxton and Desire

Deirdre:
Squeaky Rubber looks like it's stretched taut - the reflections are just really fun.

This is Baxton (the body and accessories) which you can wear alone, or over Desire (the black catsuit), as a great combo.

You can also wear Desire alone or as a base for other mix and match outfits... you know the drill by now.

So. Cool latex, unlike anyone else's. Low prices. Neat, cool shop. Nice designer. Go, go ;)

lelo:
Here is another fun creation from Elisa, she really has her own style when it comes to her designs.

As usual with Squeaky you get more than one option, adjusting the look to your own preferences, i only wish she would make a better description on the clothes in your inventory, it's a bit hit and miss now.

The outfit comes in a multitude of colors, we went for barbie, or as Elisa calls it, candy pink, just love that combination with the black catsuit, i guessi'm a doll at heart.

The pink plastic hair is a must have for all the barbie dolls out there, that alone should be reason enough to get this one.

The included "shoes" are a nice gesture, but you better look for some prim shoes to complete this outfit, though those would cover a fun little detail on the soles of your feet.

All in all two nice outfits which can be combined into one great outfit and some great dolls hair, better run and get your own... *smiles*

Squeaky Rubber - Circuit Catsuit

Today is a pretty amazing day for us. One year ago today, we began this little blog, dipping in our inventories and sharing with you the cool stuff we had found here and there. There are so many places and vendors, it's pretty hard to see everything in Second Life. We get shopping exhaustion! But the joy of meeting the cool folks who make the great clothes and boots and toys hasn't paled, and it looks like we'll keep at this for a long time. Here's hoping you're having as much fun reading us as we do writing it every day. Happy birthday to us, happy birthday to us, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to us... Cake for every one... Deirdre & lelo

Deirdre:
Squeaky Rubber never ceases to delight us.

Introducing the Circuit line of catsuits - I'm sad to say they've been sitting in our closet for a month, but I plead busy on LFFW.

The color combinations are awesome, the white in particular just blew my mind.

The price is very reasonable for the excellent quality.. go on, get a couple. Or go nuts, and get them all ;)

lelo:
Now here is something you don't see every day, a fun texture on a catsuit, and it continues the robotic theme we had yesterday.

A simple 4 piece outfit in underwear layer, so you can use it as a base for other clothing.

They come in 4 fun color combinations, something for every one i think.

The shine is somewhere between POC and Kayliwulf and the texture that gives the catsuit it's name gives it a futuristic look.

So if you love to run around the space sim's or are into cybernetics these are for you and if you are simply looking for a good looking catsuit.. well go ahead and buy them. *winks*

LFFW Follow-up : Outfits, first of many

Hello everyone,

The Latex Fetishwear Fashion Week is over, but hardly gone.

Over the next few days, we'll post pictures of the awesome outfits worn by models during various shows.

We would have liked to snap more live runway pics, but my viewer has a tendency to explode when I snap at busy sims.. I believe it's not uncommon.

You can see some live pics at The Dominion's blog.

The model on these pictures is Wicca Merlin. She was a total dear to work with, and I recommend her to anyone who needs a model.

Creepy Fetish Wear- Cat woman, a complete outfit newly released for LFFW.


Hugo's Design - Expo light with Nova shirt red and Bax ankle boots in black.


She Wants Revenge - Diorema Silver with Kyoto boots in silver by Armidi.


Squeaky Rubber - Desire transparent suit with Kellie Pink Camo and Bax ankle boots in pink.

Squeaky Rubber - Fusion, Leopard

Deirdre:
A fun leopard print swimsuit from Squeaky, this is Fusion (Leopard)

I don't have a lot of swimsuits I love.. they're either too plain, or shaped wrong for my silhouette.

This one is a cool outfit, and with minimal accessories will go from swimsuit to club wear.

The top has a "transparent" version, where the print and colors are a little faded.. maybe meant to look wet.

The boxes for the Fusion are a bit hard to find : they're in the second row, behind the rubber-skins we featured 2 weeks ago.

I'm sure Elisa will show you where they are if you ask her ;)



lelo:
This Squeaky Rubber outfit is a great swimsuit, but with the right accessories it can be turned into the base of a amazing outfit.

With the kit you get 2 different pairs of gloves (elbow or shoulder), stockings and 2 swimsuits, one with transparency on the breast, all in a lovely leopard print.

The swimsuits come in all the usual Squeaky colors and Elisa will do costume work, just contact her.

The leopard texture really stands out next to the single colored versions.

So, get your own leopard swimsuit, SL's beaches can really use some wild life. *winks*

Squeaky Rubber - Desire Red

Deirdre:
Elisa is pretty productive these days. She just introduced a new line of skins and catsuits, called Desire.

The look is that of a thinner latex, stretched to near transparency in some areas. Very original!

Desire is available in black, blue, green, purple and red.

As ever at Squeaky, custom colors and designs may be requested. No other designers have mentioned this to us - it's a pretty cool option.

The package is generous, and the price is very reasonable. Squeaky is a good store for the budget-conscious latex lover.

lelo:
Desire comes in 8 versions, including a "normal" skin so your regular skin will match the visible parts under your rubber-skin.

There is a full latex skin for the full rubber dolls, 3 versions with exposed breasts (closed, zippered and open sex).

A covered version with or with-out zipper and a hood only version.

I love the way she outlines the openings with black, makes them stand out more and gives them a bit more depth.

One of the best things about a latex skin is the fact that it leaves you with more room for extra layers for straps and corsets.

Imagine putting your doll collection in your own custom Desire skins.. just a suggestion.. *winks*

Squeaky Rubber - FruitLine MultiColor

Deirdre:
Another cool and wet item from Squeaky, this is Fruitline Multicolor, shown here in pink and black.

There's a good variety of other color combos, with black on the outside (as shown here) or the color outside, plus a few with dark red instead of black - all quite lovely.

Visit the store and there's a little surprise near the landing zone : one of the colors (not saying which!) at nearly half-price ;)

There are many Second Life fashion blogs, and we only point to the best ones - the ones that point to us ;) We discovered Shayariel's blog when we noticed a sizeable amount of traffic coming from a link to our post about Dari's Haus closing. A quick visit showed us a really active blog, with a long list of contributors, and a wide variety of topics, freebies in particular. Give them a visit and a holler from us ;) The link : http://shayariels-world-of-sl-fashion.blogspot.com/

lelo:
As with the DOT you get 4 underwear layer parts making up the outfit.

The colored part in the middle of the catsuit makes you stand out in the crowd of mono colored catsuits.

The reflections on in the texture are in all the right places.

The water droplets on the catsuit are a fun feature, there is of course also a dry version of this catsuit.

As before, Elisa does make special orders, contact her before buying though.

Squeaky Rubber - Latex DOT

Deirdre:
A cool catsuit from Squeaky Rubber, this is DOT.

The neat changeover from one color to the other is naggingly familiar.. if anyone knows where it's from, please leave a comment!

Good shine, lovely color choice, and reasonable price. Hard to go wrong here :)

lelo:
The DOT comes in 4 underwear layer parts, and we have chosen the red/black combo here, Elisa offer quite a few color options and will do special requests.

For some extra lindens you can have your own emblem on your catsuit, instead of the SR one that's there now.

The effect of going from squares to dot's is nicely done as is the general shine on the latex, this is the slightly older DarkSeed, not as deep as POC's shine but getting close.

Note the fun little spots on the feet, nice little detail, which got me out of my ballets for a little while. *wiggles her toes*

This is the basis for a great outfit, the dot's make it really stand out, just add the right toy's and you'll look great.

Squeaky Rubber - xWave Swimsuit IceBlue

Deirdre:

A lovely and original swimsuit from Squeaky Rubber, this is the xWAVE.

It's more than just a swimsuit, to be fair. It comes with gloves and stockings - and if you wear those to go swimming, call me over sometime ;)

There is also a cool twist included in the box : dry and wet versions! The wet is droplet-splattered, and in a slightly brighter tint than the dry version.

Both are available as underwear and pants-shirt layers. There is also a little net skirt for your après-swim lounging ;)

The swimsuit comes in: purple, red, green, black, pink, white, blue and iceblue (worn here).

Elisa will make any color on request, and will also do monograms or other custom work - so long as she's not swamped, she says.

Request the custom work before purchasing, though!

lelo:
One of our friends told us about this new latex designer she found and gave us a SLURL to the shop.

When we arrived at the shop there was a single vendor and a SLURL giver behind it.

The clothes we saw were quite good so we contacted Elisa, luckily she was on.

She tp'ed us to the real store, which was in a sky box above where we were standing.

Never occurred to us to take a LM from the giver, the collections she has in the store is very fresh and of good quality.

The SLURL we included should take you to the sky-box. *smiles*
