Hello, I am known as K-8 (aka "conscious_object"). Here I keep a fetish blog with a (skewed) sense of humor. Contained herein you will find my various random thoughts on my unique fetishes, and interesting finds culled from all over the intarweb, including art by my friends, and sometimes my own art.

Note: You do not need to have a Livejournal account in order to reply to an entry, as I have "anonymous posting" enabled. Just make sure to sign your name at the bottom, or I'll have no idea which comments are yours.

FetishKitsch are the people showing of the Kink Engineering vac bed in this this vid.

The bad news is Youtube keeps nuking their account (hopefully they don't nuke Kink Engineering's account there). The good news is FetishKitsch now have their own website (I think it used to be just a redirect to their Clips4Sale page), which includes the sort of short preview clips that they'd normally try to upload to Youtube. The most recent update is MissKitsch walking around outside as a latex catsuited catgirl on Halloween. Lots of shiny.

Still waiting on some photos before writing about the previous weekend, so here's what happened just this last weekend instead.

To be honest, I try to avoid going to parties or events two weekends in a row. I'm somewhat the introverted type, and social gatherings (i.e. anything involving a group of people hanging out and/or doing stuff) usually leave me feeling a little worn out afterwards, as opposed to energized or whatever. But I didn't hear about about this Halloween party after I'd already RSVPed for the other party, and this one sounded to interesting to pass up.

As I mentioned previously, the party was held at a hotel in a banquet room. One part of it was filled with tables to sit and eat, and then go through a doorway and you're in another room filled with various items to tie people to.

The theme of the party was "Medical Malpractice," so most people were dressed as kinky doctors, nurses, and patients. Though one creative group of people decided to focus on that second word, and went as malpractice lawyers.

But if you're brain works similarly to mine, your first thoughts were probably "casts!" and "straight jackets!" However, not knowing anyone local who does casts, and straight jackets being expensive, I was a little stuck as to what to do. Fortunately, a recently made friend knew of a nice woman who owns a leather straight jacket and would be at the party, and asked on my behalf if I could borrow it for the evening.

And so I got to spend several hours like this:

Went to a Halloween play party last night at a hotel. I was walking through the hall toward the event space wearing in regular non-costume clothes, but with my Sexy Boots on over my jeans, when I pass by a mother and her very young daughter dressed up as a fairy, walking in the opposite direction. I politely smile, and as I pass I hear the little girl behind me exclaim excitedly to her mom in a half-whisper, "did you see her boots?!?"

And another future fetishist is born. ;-)

A week and a half ago there was a workshop/demo on the topic of latex, hosted by several key latex fetishists in the community, including the wonderful/intimidating Amanda Wildefyre. The description for the event also mentioned there would be a vacuum cube available, "for those who dare to try it." Oh, I dare!

The workshop was fantastic, and I learned all sorts of interesting things. For example, an inflatable armless latex jacket was demonstrated on one of the presenters. When I'd seen photos of these, I always thought the idea was silly..."so they're not able to use their arms, but they can still move them around inside this sort of balloon type thing their torso is encased in? No, it turns out the jacket has two layers of latex, the outer layer, and then an inner layer that says in contact with the person's skin. So when you inflate it, the outer layer expands, but the inner layer also expands a bit, making things all firm and cozy.

Additionally interesting, they demonstrated that if you touch a vibrator to the outside of the jacket, the person inside can feel the vibrations throughout the entire jacket. The presenter inside the jacket noted that, contrary to what you'd think would be the case, the vibrations are actually stronger when the vibrator is touched to an area where there is more air between the inner and outer layers of the jacket, rather than less.

Then she started getting a little distracted, and was having trouble adding much in the way of additional thoughts. ;-) Unfortunately from the angle I was sitting I couldn't see the expression on her face, but it sounded like she was enjoying herself. Amanda Wildefyre continued to talk about the jacket, while holding the vibrator in one of her hands all nonchalant, humorously pretending to ignore the noises the woman was making. Looked like fun, lol.

On an amusing but slightly awkward note: when I went to use the one-person rest room, I encountered an interesting surprise resulting from people using the room to change into latex outfits. I touched the door handle, and it was slippery with lube. Then I sit down on the seat, and it's slippery with lube. Oh my. o_O

Towards the end of the presentation, they decided to demonstrate several things they'd brought at once. On one side of the room was the vac cube, of course. On the other side, one of the other presenters was being transformed into a rubberdoll. The rubberdoll mask was very interesting. This particular one was very rigid, almost like a posture collar and hood in one. I guess when tightened, the feeling of the rubber pressing up against your face everywhere gives the effect that your skin has been melded with the rubber. Which would be pretty hot, feeling that and then looking in the mirror and seeing this (erotically) humiliating doll face looking back at you. I'm kind of bummed so many doll masks look...not as attractive as I'd like. I think the best would be a mask like that but resembles the head of a Barbie doll. That'd be fantastic.

But I know what you really want to hear about is the vac cube.

This play party was unique for me, aside from just taking place in a barn, in that it was the first play party where I've actually been played with. I was tied up at a previous party, but there was no play, just chilling out while bound. This time there was play, and it was kinda different having an audience, it was pretty fun.

I arrived in plain clothes, partly because I knew driving in my knew boots would not be very realistic, and also because I wasn't actually sure what I felt like wearing exactly, or if I'd feel like wearing anything fetish at all. I brought a bag with me that had the black outfit, and the ragdoll and silver zentai outfits from awhile back.

The barn contained various rigs to tie people to for scene-ing. The most interesting-looking was a suspension rig hanging from the ceiling. It looked like an oversize trapeze, a large triangle that cuffs could be fixed to, attached to a pulley at the ceiling allowing the height to be adjustable. Several of us tried out swinging on it a little. A friend pointed also out to me a ladder that went to a second level area without walls, that he thinks would be perfect for a puppet scene if some pullies and things were set up over there. Perhaps at another barn party we'll figure out how to make that happen.

After chit-chatting and hanging out for several hours, I was starting to feel a little more comfortable and at ease (social gatherings always make me a little nervous), and decided I'd give the outfit with the new boots a go. When I mentioned I'd brought a corset I was thinking of wearing, two girls I'd been chatting with both offered to help tighten it for me.

( Continue Reading )

I splurged a little. There was a play party coming up, and I wanted to wear the shiny catsuit and corset I've posted here before, but I had not suitable footwear for it. So I splurged a little and bought these buckle-y platform heel boots. (Anything over $40 I tend to call a "splurge," while anything over $100 I call "out of my price range.")

Only thing I was worried about is that the extra height it gave me would leave everyone too intimidated to, y'know, tie me up or anything. Thankfully that wasn't the case (I did get tied up, I'll talk about it more later), and actually I was really surprised by how much attention I got from my outfit. A lot more comments and compliments than I was expecting, and people asking to touch it. And exchanges like me announcing to the people I'm chatting with that I'm going to grab something from the snack table across the room quickly, and hearing in return "okay, we're just going to watch from here." I felt very objectified (in a good way). ;-)

Here's a pic of the boots with the outfit. I'll try to get a better angle of it later, but the barn the party was in makes for an interesting contrast in the background I think.

A goofy '80/'90s musical performance featuring mannequin posing, robotic movements, and interesting outfits. (Found by "Dosman.")

But what I really like about it are the twists in the "story," that come across even without being able to understand what they're saying. ( Further thoughts, but I suggest watching the video first. )

Figured I should post this next, since a few people enquired after I mentioned it.

X-Men #1-3. The X-Men are battling Magneto and his Acolytes. The fight comes to an abrupt stop thanks to an Acolyte called Chrome. Guess what he does?



This is not the first time Claremont has statuefied an X-Man.

Perhaps seeing this is what gives Magneto the idea to do what he does with Moira MacTaggart. See, Magneto isn't very happy with Moira. Moira was entrusted with him when he was reduced to an infant for a period, during which she examined his genetic code, and discovered what might be responsible for his behaving like such a crazed maniac in adulthood. (And when ultimately reverted back into an adult, he wasn't aged back fully for some reason, which is why he appears so young in the comics for someone who's a Holocaust survivor...and that's just a mild example of how convoluted the X-Men got during the 90s).

Magneto is highly disturbed with the thought of someone tampering with the core of his being while in a vulnerable state, and makes Moira aware of this fact.





Absolute control over her body...and her ability to speak: ( Continue Reading... )

This looks amusing:

I dunno about you, but I think this looks kinda hot:





It's similar to a full hood, and yet very different. I guess different gags can be attached on the inside, to go in the mouth.

Many other nice bondage-related pics at this group.

Something I saw on Doll's Realm...I wouldn't mind having one of these:

An interesting multi-lingual website someone sent me, at Captured-Taboos.com. The really interesting stuff is in section "4", particularly the "Video Clips" section, which show off some devious Gord-esque ideas for exercise regimens...

It's not entirely my sort of thing, but who'd have thought you could mix an exercise bike with breath-play?

So I did end up going to "Bondage A Go Go" at Ground Zero last night. Not as a doll or anything, mind you...just as a wallflower, I guess. ;-)

I'm glad I'd been to a handful of fetish club nightss by this point, or I think I would've been sort of overwhelmed. It ended up being really *packed.* I mean, I got there not too long after when doors open, and there were already a ton of people there...and only filled up more as time went on. I'm not sure if that's usual for them, or if it had to do with some special events. Mind you, only about two dozen of the people there were rubberdolls, and there seemed to be at least a hundred people there when I took off around midnight, so RWR wasn't the main attraction or anything.

Speaking of RWR, I'm not too bummed I didn't make it to the actual weekend event...I think I would've felt kind of out of place, actually. I mean, it's got the words "doll" and "rubber," so it sounds like something that'd totally be up my alley, right? But I guess I don't realize just how connected rubberdolling is with female-masking, which is far less interesting to me (which makes sense, female-masking being more an interest of crossdressers who want to take on a female face, which is kind of a moot point with me and all). So about 99% of the rubberdolls in attendance were either crossdressers, or just males who enjoy rubber encasement. Still a bunch of fun, shiny outfits to see at the club, but I would've felt out of place at the actual RWR event.

I did try to chat with rubberdoll Melody a little, but the loud techno music makes chatting a little difficult. On the other hand, there was still plenty to look at. I spent most of the time sitting in the upper level, where there in one direction I could see people occasionally having their hands bound to some rig attached to the ceiling that keeps their hands above their head, and being flogged or whatever by the mistress on duty. And in the other direction, I could turn around and watch the first level dancefloor and stage, where some stageshow presentations were being put on. Most of the stageshow stuff were occasional runway fashion-style presentations of fetish gear that it sounded like was related to one of the vendors selling stuff at the club. But one of the other stage presentations was definitely RWR-related, featuring much rubber:

The curtain comes up, and there are two androgynous figures in head-to-toe rubber zentai-type suits, one in yellow and one in blue, each holding a beachball-sized inflated ball of matching color and material. Between them is a similar ball, but red, and much much larger. The two figures pass their beachballs between each other, and then the large red ball starts moving, as though someone is inside of it. Eventually it pops, revealing a person in a matching red head-to-toe outfit. They do some slow dancing to the music, and then make a gradual exit. The colorfulness of it made for a nice chance from the dark black of all the other outfits on display.

One of the highlights of the night, however, was that chargerpony was there, in full pony-mode. I've chatted with him online a little, so I decided to introduce myself briefly...but y'know, it's kind of hard to have a conversation with a pony. ;-) I did get a ride from him, though. I didn't even realize he was giving rides at first, so I didn't even think to ask his handler, until I saw a few other people getting rides. The pony seemed to be a very popular attraction. Unfortunately, being my usual klutzy self, the chair that was placed for me to step onto while de-saddling slipped out from under me, and bumped into him. I was okay, but I'm hoping it didn't hit him too hard or anything.

But at least I didn't get lost on the drive to the club or back. That's always a plus. ^_^

Wow, I can't believe this weekend is the Rubberdoll World Rendezvous already...how time flies. Needless to say, I was unable to get things together in time to attend (having only just started my new job this week). I might've even completely forgotten it was happening this weekend, if I hadn't been catching up on blog reading and saw it mentioned on the Doll's Realm blog.

Are there any readers of my own blog here who are attending? I'd be curious to hear a report of how it went. :-)

And since I do live within driving distance currently, I'm tempted to show up for awhile to one of the "offsite excursions" that don't involve the head-to-toe-rubber dresscode. Rubberdoll Melody did invite me to come stop by the Ground Zero niteclub, where I guess a bunch of them will be hanging out either Friday or Saturday night (or both?). I'm assuming it's the regular Bondage A Go Go held up there. Maybe I'll drop in on Saturday night, we'll see.

I just got my custom doll wig from jinxedkisses this morning, check it out:

Myspace Doll?


Still bugs me how baggy the suit is, but the wrinkles do kind of create a soft, "stuffed rag doll" look I think. The thing that most concerns me is how much it limits my vision...in the well-lit bathroom I couldn't see much that wasn't directly in front of me, but make it a dimly lit club? Makes me worried I'll have to cling to a friend most of the night just to keep from bumping into people (or posts, or walls...). Hopefully I'll still be able to see enough to navigate somewhat. Though the worst part is, I probably won't be able to see how any of the other dolls dressed unless I have the hood down for awhile... ;-P

And another one I did, just to be silly:

Intellectual Doll?


I was going for a "what's happened to me?" look, but I think it came out more "oops, did I do that?" Though a chat friend says he saw it as "well, imagine that!" So maybe it's up to interpretation...what do you see? ;-)

Extra-attentive people may notice the sloppy (or sloppy in my eyes) job I did on airbrushing out the mouth-area in the photos (the first one in particular). You could just slightly see the opening of my mouth in the pics, which I didn't like because I had a kind of "duh" open-mouth expression. So I tried for the blank look, but didn't feel like spending *too* much time on it.

I forget now who sent this my way. Me and my memory...

My favorite part of this is the first 30 seconds...her muffled "talking" to the camera sounds so cute, hehe:

Trying to clear out some open tabs today. Here's another sexy find from Pavel:

Found by Pavel:



All it needs is maybe some black liquid latex and a brush, to let people paint on their own temporary Jack-O-Lantern design. ;-)

Hey, I finally managed to break the Sabbat De Sade "Curse" and actually made it to one last night.

The theme this time was "Fetish Fairy Tales." While most people stuck closely to the core idea of old childhood fairy tales, I'd say about 1/4th of the people there went with the same idea I did -- let's just wear what we're already planning to wear for Halloween, and figure out some clever excuse if anyone asks. For example, one of the first people I encountered was a large-headed Grim Reaper character (which reminded me of the elevator scene from Scrooged). It was funny, I had no idea who it was at first, and he just kind of stood there giving no indication if I knew who was under there or not. Then suddenly he holds up his cell phone, and on the screen read the words "hi, it's (omegarobot)."

Like leashandgrin and his recent post, I'm reluctant to say exactly what my costume was, since I plan to use it for any potential "vanilla" parties. All I'll say is I went as one of our "modern day fairy tales" -- a superhero (again like leashandgrin in an amusing coincidence).

With how often women superheroes seem to end up tied up in the comics (don't even get me started), you'd think I were just asking for it, but apparently no such luck. ;-P I did, however, get to see all sorts of fun costumes. Hands down my favorite costume of the night was the girl who dressed up as "Mirror Mirror"...basically just a sleek, shiny black zentai suit, with a mirror on her stomach. On top of just the shiny black awesomeness, people would also stop in front of her and lean over to check themselves in the mirror. Such a great object-ish idea, can't believe I didn't think of it. ;-)

Although, part of the reason I would've disregarded the idea is because I don't think I'd be able to see much at all wearing a zentai suit in a dimly lit club. I'd have to have my classes off, which already makes things kinda fuzzy in the dark, then add a zentai suit that further limits my ability to see? If I ever wore my silver one, I'd probably be running into people and walls and things, without someone to lead me around a bit. Yet she was wearing a shiny suit, and appeared to get around perfectly okay without help. Wonder what the material was / how well she could really see.

My second-fav costume would have to be toasteraviator's Big Bad Wolf disguised as Grandma (hope you were careful of the team of Riding Hoods all around you...they had you surrounded ;-)). He was reportedly influenced by my entry on the ready-made prosthetic animal masks, decided to buy a wolf mask from them. And wow, seeing one of these things in action, in person, is like three times as amazing-looking as just looking at one of those vids. And I wasn't the only person who couldn't stop gawking...it took him quite awhile to make it once through the club from all the times he got stopped by people, lol. I wonder how many people there started thinking about how they could find something similar. I know I totally want to get a cat one, once I have disposable income again. ^_^
