Poll Results: Mainstreamification of Latex Rubber

Here are the results to the most recent poll about the seemingly growing popularity of latex rubber fashion. Thanks to all who voted and to the five of you who still read my oft-neglected blog. Rubber kisses and hugs and all that junk.

If you want to stratch the surface just a bit deeper on this topic, read and respond to this thread here at my my mothership site, IAR/rubberist.net.

The mainstreamification of latex rubber:

Out of a whopping 39 votes,

51% voted I'm all for it! More dumb bitches in latex!
12% voted It's a bunch of hype. Trends come and go.
20% voted Hope it continues because it will make me feel less guilty about my fetish.
5% voted Will take away the specialness of my fetish.
10% voted I don't give a flying fuck.

Poll Results: Latex Sheeting

I must offer my apologies to my loyal guys and dolls. I once promised to put up a new poll every week. Well, I failed you. I failed all of you. The same poll has been up (and closed) for about a month. Oh, the blog horror!

Anyway, we'll get over it...together, we'll rise above.

Without further ado, and, unfortunately, no spankings, here is the results to "My favorite type of latex sheeting is"

Drumroll, please.

Out of a whopping 56 votes:

28% chose "standard/supatex"
33% chose "semi-transparent"
5% chose "vibrant/neon"
21% chose "metallic/pearlsheen"
0% chose "OK, really, what the fuck?!"
10% chose "anything with boobs behind it."

Semi-trans has won this round. Even though I tend not to wear semi-trans latex clothing--I'm a shy one--I really love the semi-trans colors, especially the traditional natural color. However, I voted metallic/pearsheen because lately I've been working with those colors a lot. Click here for a sample pic.

Poll Results: Thickness

Not that type of thickness. Oh my, get your mind outta the vanilla gutter.

We have the poll results here for "In general, what is your favorite gauge of latex sheeting?"

Out of 45 votes,

24% voted 0.20mm/0.25mm (thin)
28% voted 0.33mm/0.40mm (medium)
31% voted 0.45mm/0.50mm (medium-kinda thick)
4% voted 0.60mm or thicker (officially thick)
11% voted What the fuck?!?! (not a gauge)

If you're reading this and saying to yourself what the fuck? indeed, what the fuck! go read this post. I might think about re-writing that post to add extra info, but right now I'm not feeling so generous.

This small-talk about thickness also bring up another question: exactly what is "heavy rubber" to you? Does "heavy" mean the thickness of the latex sheeting used in the garments? Or does "heavy" conjure up a certain aesthetic sense? Or is it just the name of a magazine published by Marquis?

Oh yeah, Happy All Those Holidays That Just Passed!

Poll Results: What's Your Favorite Fetish Stereotype?

Oh, no! Stereotypes! Stereotypes are bad. I'm going to hell for reinforcing stereotypes.

Out of 34 votes:

17% voted "Nurse/Medical"
23% voted "Dominatrix"
11% voted "Maid"
44% voted "Rubber Doll"
2% (only one person) voted "Anything with big boobs"

The Rubber Dolls win! Word out on the street is that it's a trend or something like that.

Kudos to the guy or gal who voted "Big Boobs."

Poll Results: My favorite piece of rubber is...

Here's the results from the last poll, My favorite piece of rubber is:

Out of 86 votes,

22% chose "my hood"
60% chose "my catsuit"
10% chose "my leggings/stockings"
6% chose "my spare tire"

Poll: What's the best fetish mag ever?

From now on, if the polls aren't too stupid, I'm going to post the results after they close. Anyone remember the "Which Simpson character would you least like to see in latex" poll? Moe won that dubious distinction, I think. I really wish I saved it.

Here are the results from last week's poll, "What's the best fetish magazine ever?"

Out of 16 votes,

00% chose Skin Two
43% chose Marquis/Heavy Rubber
12% chose Secret
31% chose Atomage
12% chose I don't know

Jeez, Skin Two got nothing. Even Secret got votes. I mean, they're all fine magazines, bastions of literary excellence. Oh, shit. I guess I just blew my chances of getting in either of them. Oops. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Can I kid once in a while, or is the "scene" under an iron curtain with a sign saying "No Sarcasm Allowed"?

Everyone loves polls!

Blogger recently added a new poll thingamajig, and I fully intend to make use of it. One's already up. Take a look at the navigation strip of crap on your right hand side. Gallup and Zogby got nottin' on me, nottin. Every week I'll make a new ridiculous poll that may or may not have anything to do with rubber. After all, we can't be serious all of the time. Suggestions are certainly welcome.
