Medical Emergency

March2010Want to play doctors and nurses? Club RUB on March 13th 2010 is the place to get it kissed better! Is there a doctor in the house?

Everyone loves a nurse and we all love the uniform. Medical costumes come in many colours and guises. Just remember guys - absolutely no 'normal' trousers under those doctors coats. It's always nice to make your own. Buy a lab coat or scrubs and embelish with a selection of these sissors. You can easily sew 10 to 20 pairs onto your outfit as they are very cheap. Or these body parts. Eyeballs. Sweets in the shape of body parts. Jelly willies sewn onto your outfit is a great way to chat up the ladies by offering them one! These fingers are perfect. Or come as a dentist and attach these. A silly take on the theme is a MUMMY. Zombie doctor in need of medical attention. Don't be telling me you can't afford an outfit you guys! No 'normal' trousers.

Mental inspiration. Great instrument site. Add a homemade nurses hat to any dress.

Take a look at the performance line up this month. It's very impressive.

This month there will be a couple of market stands selling medical paraphernalia and even demonstrations from the stall holders during the night.

Edgeplay will bring their line of products and demonstrate needle play. Brings some cash.

Shaydes from Under Wraps will be selling his wares and performing a few demonstrations. If you fancy being wrapped up or feel some of his products would enhance your outfit see if he needs another model. Or buy a roll and ask him for help with applying it.

 

He offers both wide and mini rolls of pallet wrap in various colours and their accessories. Also cohesive bandage (commonly known as Vetrap – rubberised bandage). All of this is great for outfits and mummification (please use responsibly). It’s Mother’s Day on Sunday and he's up for mummy-fication!

Kilts, Tartan & Steampunk Feb 20th

Feb2010Every February is Kilts & Tartan night at Club RUB - get yours out for February 20th. This year we have added Steampunk to ring on the changes and it is the latest 'sub culture'.

After the success of the Heaven & Hell party at Club RUB on January 23rd it's time to go commando boys! Get those kilts on.

Steampunk couture style site great for inspiration. Perfect make up too.

Punk rocker image to perfect your look.

 

This beautiful man's kilt suit can be hired too. Tartan collar.

Don't know what Steampunk is? This sums it up perfectly. Inspirational dress.

This company has the most amazing selection of clothes. They are based in China. I ordered three items before Christmas and they came in just over two weeks. Take a look at the RUB themes and order in one go! Amazing skirt. Smallest top hat ever - buy two and customise one into Steampunk theme with the cogs and dial of an old charity shop clock. A cage skirt is totally Steampunk.

Steampunk is a subculture based on reproducing a neo-Victorian existence through costume. Aesthetically this means a mingling of pipes and goggles, stitched leather, brass and dials on historical dress. More reference material. Great costume and photography by Viona.

Amazing Steampunk goggles plus loads of other stuff. London based company Engineers of Desire specialise in Steampunk inspired clothes and accessories. They are always at the London Fetish Fair. Next event February 14th. Jed Pheonix has some great jackets to wear with kilts or leather trousers. Wear these with court shoes for a Victorian lace up style. Amazing Steampunk dress.

Corset that would be perfect with green tartan skirt. Steampunk inspired items - I love this collar. If your going down the Victoriana route and one of these would be lovely. What will hold up your knee socks? Try these garters.

If inspiration is failing you go and see the new Sherlock Holmes film or
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen or
. Not only is it very good, the costumes are fantastic.

Get inspiration from everywhere. All the top fashion designers shoot film now and viewing these can give you great ideas.

Great gift for you're favourite pet slave.
