Welcome back at Ayzad’s! What did Santa bring for your Christmas? I was an especially good boy this year, so under my tree I found this clip from Arteabout ‘rubberfurs’. The name itself sounds wrong, so let me recap for you: first we had furries, which is to say people who non-sexually felt more at ease living as giant plush animals than human beings. Then came thefurverts: same thing, but with lots of (rather worrying) sex thrown in.
The next step is this. People dressing up as animals… but with latex costumes. The pioneers of this unusual form of eroticism were theKariwanz, a couple of Japanese fashion fiends whom I love for their crazy, inflatable and really funny creations. They surfaced around the year 2000, and now they have followers and spinoffs – including rubber animal political activists. It’s all in the video.
