I think I'm lucky in the sense that I've always known that I'm a kinkster, it's always felt very natural and 'normal' - I thought everyone was like me!  So I never felt overly worried about going into a kinky shop, or for that matter, one that sold rubber clothes.  But, with my growing presence on the net I find I receive more and more questions about where and how to find latex clothes.  Only yesterday I was visiting a great London store to collect some outfits for an upcoming shoot.  In the shop we were were discussing that for the majority of people, entering a latex clothes shop can actually be quite a daunting experience...so I thought I'd try and break a few myths, talk about my experiences of shopping for latex and try and let people out there know that IT'S OK to buy latex! :)

My first 'run in' with latex wasn't actually that long ago, probably only about 3 1/2 years.  Up until then I'd been a big fan of leather (on other people) - I still am, I love how it creaks and smells, but wow, latex just takes me to a completely different mind set when slip it on to my skin.  Duh - that makes it sound like putting latex on is easy!  It's not.  Here's myth buster number one - latex may look sexy when it's on, but most people look like a highly uncoordinated deranged dancing monkey when trying to 'slip-it-on'...as I so nonchalently said above.  Well, I hope everyone tries the same tactic as me of jumping up and down to get into an outfit, not that it works lol....note to self - must buy more lube - we'll come to that later.  However, all dancing monkey impressions aside, my only regret in life so far is that I didn't discover latex earlier - much earlier!

I've decided to put a magazine feature on my site - and it really is what it says on the tin!  I find I have a lot to say for myself (much to Richard Knightly's disgust - as he's my Dom ;)...and found that there was no where to express these inner mumblings on my previous site - the blog just wouldn't cut it!  Plus I seem to find that I get a lot of similar questions popping up all the time through different forums on the net, such as Facebook, Myspace, Bebo etc etc.  So I thought I'd start responsding to them here, through a magazine.  I can now offer my advice backed up by my own experience and write about general goings on in the world of fetish.  So, what to expect?  All your typical magazine features really...interviews, informative features, reviews, reader letters and advice columns and of course, lots and lots of photos of the hot topics!...and basically anything that I decide to feel creative about in the future (ooh feel the power!) - maybe story photo boards, competitions, audio articles, video interviews...the world is our kinky oyster!  Let me know what you wanna see in there ;)

 Love and kisses, your Chief Editor-ess...Emma Alexa
