Latex NOT sexy?

How could this be? In a comment to my liquid latex post, elle presented the notion that prior to my discussion about the paintable kind, latex had never appealed to her in a sexy way. I couldn't honestly fathom that. But i gave it more contemplation, eventually coming to the acceptance that for many people, latex must come off as a fringe, freakish material, worn by the most depraved and debauched.

While i agree that the rubbery textile can have its dramatically extreme and bizarre applications (i.e. like this), there are many examples of latex garments where they accomplish a sensuality and eroticism, yet still providing the edge of kink.

I present the following photographic examples of some very famous models and designers in the latex medium in the hopes of altering the opinion of those of you out there who don't find this kind of clothing sexy:



Two favorite Libidex dresses



great schoolgirl outfit from Skin TWO




Ms. Bianca Beauchamp (and Black Widow)



Stunning Syren dress



The gorgeous Rubberdoll

I rest my case.
