IML notes....

So IML is over and done. Very educational. DDR got lots of positive comments and even tho it was a poor market location, we did ok. Better than others from what I'm hearing.

Chicago

Day one is done! So far so good. Getting in to the market, setting up, and learning the hotel.......it all went well. I have to say, it's gonna be a maze for guest trying to find their way around. Not sure I'm happy with our location but we are in good company so I can't complain. Some of the biggest players in our world are in the same room. If we don't get the traffic, we won't be the only ones.

We have a good following of people that will be looking for us. I'm proud of that. To be so small and have fans right out of the box is something I truly respect and value.

So far, the Hilton staff has been great. I think guest will be very comfortable here. What will the final verdict be.....after you factor in the cost? I'm eager to hear peoples thoughts on that one.

Anyway, come see us if you get the chance. For the record..........SOUTHWEST Exhibition hall. Check out our gear, chat with us, tell us what you'd like to see us doing. We are gonna be doing measurements for custom orders too.

IML prepping....

So it never fails.....













You get down to the last minute and the 'to do' list magically triples. Maybe it's just me. Nevertheless, I remain convinced........Minions. That's the answer. Hundreds maybe thousands of them. All doing my bidding. Not your average needy minion tho. I need high quality, self sufficient, self starting minions. The kind that have already anticipated my need and are standing there ready.....beverage in hand. OH! And while I'm dreaming......I'd like a smile, a back rub, and a BJ to go with it.

Just wait......when I rule the world......

In the meantime, we are busy, busy, busy. Getting all manor of detail in order for our trip to IML. We get there on Wednesday this year. Hopefully that allows enough time to set up, stepping on the obligatory landmine(s) laying in wait for us, and do all the other things that need to get done.

I'm hoping to set up a photo shoot with some dedicated rubber guys. I'd like to produce some images for the site and promotional material that are iconic in nature. It all depends on weather, the guys, and the location. If all goes well I'll find a cool place to shoot with out stirring up too much of the wrong kind of attention. Then again, some air time of Fox News might help :D

Keeping with my visual themes, here's a couple pics of our bondage hood. It's made with 1mm thick latex. The back side panel is double thick. This means all the stretch is over the face. A cool effect if you like it tight. Zips in back and has the D-rings so you can lace it tighter. Wear it as loose or as tight as you like.....or as someone else chooses for you ;-)

Me in my gear

So here's some of my work. Fully encapsulated hooded
gas mask with tinted visor. I love the complete full coverage. The suit is a shoulder entry with a white asymmetrical tribal pattern. And to finish it off, my customized dog gloves. Since I stared working out my upper body is almost too big for this suit. Odds are I'll lube up and give it one more try at IML.

Somebody will be wearing that weekend for sure as I'm planning to do some promotional photos for the new site, blogs and profiles. Should have a couple new things to show off that weekend. Nothing too earth shattering, just some ideas I've been working on.

I've been rethinking the whole vending thing lately. We'll see how IML goes. Not really getting a welcoming vib from the organizing bodies and considering the cost, it makes me think we'd be better off just doing web ads instead. Time will tell I suppose. It will be good to touch base with friends and make some new ones. If you get the chance, stop by and say hello.

The Dawn

So here we are....on the shiney black edge of a rubbery mountain, about to jump off. It's a really tall mountain, which is good cause it gives us time to learn how to fly before hitting bottom, lol.

Known on most fetish sites as Bodisama, I've been a rubber guy for a very long time. Always had a passion for cool gear and I think I always knew someday I'd be making it. Devil Dog Rubber is the realization of what seemed like a dream a few years ago. The amount of work has been astonishing. We didn't set out to make a little one off shop doing work for friends. The goal is to be placed on the world stage by our customers. To match or beat the competition while bringing something new to the table.

A number of people have been asking about updates, what new stuff we are working on, what events we are going to, etc. Once our site is fully up and running I'll be blogging much about the company there. Here I can post some content that might not be as well suited for the commercial site. I can also do more linking with friends as well as partners.

Who knows, I might even entertain you from time to time :D
