Museum of London tells the history of the rise of "wet-look" PVC fashion, as seen in this beautiful 1963 Mary Quant raincoat and sou'wester:

"In 1955, Mary Quant opened Bazaar, her first clothes shop on the King's Road in Chelsea. She believed that fashion should not exist just for the rich but for everyone, particularly the young. She gathered clothes together which she believed would be exciting for young people to wear.
Success of Bazaar."

"The shop was hugely successful. Within the first week of being open, it had taken five times more money than she expected. It was then that Quant decided that she would design and make her own clothes to sell in the shop. She was responsible for many original styles. These included the mini skirt, coloured tights and 'wet-look' PVC fashion, as seen in this 1963 raincoat."

Found four ebooks by Helen Henley, regular column writer in Atomage magazine. A great Valentines gift for any rubberist partner!

"Pussy in Boots, begins with Helen meeting Charles, a wealthy businessman. He offers to help her find a publisher for her book - a popular history of erotica - in return for her help with his own sexual interests and his ambitions to be a sex slave. Things only get better when, employed by a firm whose products include everything from condom dispensers to beverage machines for the office, Helen discovers the powerful effect on male sensibilities of leather couture and high boots. She comes up with some unique methods of dealing with male chauvinism and sexual harassment in the work place."

"Not your conventional bonking book, Pussy in Boots is a woman's story, one that contains suicide attempts, deviant sex, and in part two dives deeper into rubber fetishism and sado-masochism as Helen continues to research her book. It is also a modern love story and there is an unfashionable happy ending. The story is laced throughout with extracts from her collection of writings of medieval and modern authors of erotica and in combination they form a satirical tour de force."

Ebooks by Helen Henley:

• Pussy in Boots: The Autobiography of a Very Kinky Woman
  
• Pussy in Boots II: Further Confessions of a Very Kinky Woman
  
• The Dirty Dozen
  
• Enter with Trumpets

Visited the Atomage Appreciation Site today and found some great vintage photos of people in rubber and a interesting history of one of the early pioneers of rubberism.

The site offers detailed information on all the Atomage publications and history of the world famous Atomage Leather Couture company run by the legendary John Sutcliffe from the 1950's to the late 1980's.

The fashion from back then is great fun to look at today so many years later. Still the issues dealt with in the magazine was the same issues we deal with today. Here is a quote from Atomage International Edition No. 7, published 24 years ago:

"My girl friend is incapable of following me to where I would like to go. This is no reflection on her - she is just afraid of all the seemingly endless implications of rubber. Maybe she is right. Also, it is impossible for her to take the active role. I have to face the fact that she will occasionally wear rubber just to please me. I hear you saying that I am a lucky fellow and that I should be pleased and grateful to have such a girlfriend. I know that I should be, apart from the fact that I really love her, but still it is difficult for me to reconcile myself to the fact that no further development in our rubber activities is possible."

Sounds familiar?

Fall is here and it's rain season! So I brought this wonderful pair of used rubber boots for $25 in a used military equipment store here in Copenhagen.

I'm curious about the origins of the rubber boots. I belive the brand name is "F.N. Panter", but I can't find any information on about the boots on the internet. So if you know this brand of rubber boots, please leave a comment.
