LADY ANA – The New Latex Clothing Range

LADY ANA – The New Latex Clothing Range brought to you by the iconic TGirl, Erika Ridley otherwise known as Lady Ana. Whilst appealing to other TGirls it will also appeal to the Genetic female as well as boys experimenting with gender.

Latex Rubber clothing as we all know is high maintenance and expensive to buy. The greatest challenge facing girls like us or indeed boys/men wishing to dress in feminine attire is the size issue.

For many years I purchased my Latex (as made to measure) from a little known company in the UK. Alas, Daxine is no more and as I, like many of my sisters cannot justify the cost of made to measure I spent over a year looking for a comparable solution that provided OFF the peg male sizes but with a female cut. I approached a good number of would be partners, most did not reply and the ones that did said there wasn't a big enough market for this sort of thing.

Undeterred I pressed on and last year found a long established Latex Production company in the UK who like me were visionary enough to see the potential in such a market and so the LADY ANA latex label is born.

Starting off with just 4 basic items plus stockings / Gloves / Dressing Aid I bring to you a Quality product, Made in England and with OFF the peg sizes for us TGirls. The reason why I can do this is the thickness of the latex. 0.40mm latex is quite thin and therefore it comfortably stretches across the body up to 4 inches (10cm).

To give you an example, I bought a Black Latex Catsuit from the range in an Extra Small (XS) with no adjustments whatsoever. As you can see, it is a perfect fit.
Being old School and British I still use inches, although the site does have comparable measurements in Centimetres.

	Lady Ana measurements	Standard XS Catsuit
Chest	35.8 inches	32 to 36 inches
Waist	28.5 inches	25 to 29 inches
Hips	34 inches	34 to 38 inches

As you can see, my actual hip measurement compares well to the lowest hip size in the range and I used this as the starting point for gauging the correct size.

If you are considering purchasing off me but are unsure of what size is going to be best for you, do drop me a line and I will make suggestions based upon your criteria. Height isn't really an issue but if you prefer shorter or longer arms/legs do let me know before placing the order so I can double check production costs for length changes.

As I am officially launching the range as of TODAY, I am offering (until 1st June 2012) a 20% discount across the range with Coupon code LA001A. You can use this coupon for as many purchases as you wish until the promotion ends. Simply put the code in the checkout area of my website and the 20% discount will be shown prior to being taken to the payment page.

I decided to launch with just 4 items to start with.
1. 3-way front zip catsuit in 0.40mm latex
2. A front busk back laced Corset in a choice of 2 lengths
3. A blouse/shirt with extended sleeves as standard on the Transgender range
4. Knee length Hobble skirt with a short zip at the rear.

All are available in standard colours Black, Red, White & Translucent Smokey Black
Other colours are available on request.  

The FULL range is also available in standard FEMALE sizes. The LADY ANA LATEX shop has therefore been divided into TGIRL & FEMALE sections with size charts created for each garment and gender.

I am also selling Moulded Rubber Stockings & Wrists Gloves in Red and Black which look great with the range.

Having tried and tested every other dressing aid on the market I have managed to secure a regular supply of what I deem to be the best product available for dressing up in Latex clothing.

In fact as I've been using this product for the last 8 years I guarantee you will not want any other product after you've tried this. Being a regular attendee of Fetish Parties I know how important it is for the latex to rest on one’s body at both high and low temperatures. What's more is that it's multi-purpose as it is great for topping up an existing shine on your latex. 

The manufacturers actually sell this stuff as a premium silicone lubricant to keep a Man's weapon well oiled. More information about this product and the rest of the range can be found at

	Lady Ana measurements	Standard XS Catsuit
Chest	35.8 inches	32 to 36 inches
Waist	28.5 inches	25 to 29 inches
Hips	34 inches	34 to 38 inches

Smoking Fetish

Smoking as we all know is a Taboo subject. Some would deem it as socially unacceptable and bad for you and those around you yet as it still appeals to a great many people.

I know of one guy who bans the posting of ladies smoking on his yahoo groups. Yet many others allow it.

In fact smoking as a fetish is a sexual fetish based on the sight or image of a person smoking. The official name given to this is capnolagnia but otherwise known to the rest of us as Smoking fetishism. As with many other fetishes, Childhood and our years of developing into adulthood play a big part in what becomes a fetish in adult life. For me it was seeing a stereotypically sweet, innocent woman behaving in ways that are considered taboo. For others it stems from an attraction to more worldly people whose smoking epitomizes their strength and self-confidence. From a gay standpoint the image of smoking is an image of masculinity.

For many viewers of Pornography, Fem Dom and BDSM movies we often see the dominant partner smoking a cigarette and blowing smoke into the face of the submissive or slave. In fact i have 1st hand experience of this in a short movie i made a few years ago when my stage slave was massively turned on when i used his mouth as an ashtray and even used his tongue to extinguish the cigarette. In fact his cock was noticeably larger at the point of putting it out and admit to being mildly aroused that i had this effect upon him. A recent foray onto Cam4.com (a free to use webcam site) put me in contact with one of the most interesting people i have ever had the good fortune to meet online. A brief chat lead to a skype conversation with Max, the man behind CigarVixens.com and Invictus Studios Ltd. When we talk about Cigars we're not talking about the cheaper variations of Castella, La Paz or Hamlet but more the top end range of Cohiba, Monte Cristo, Java Maduro and so on. Many men enjoy seeing beautiful women smoking. Even in this prohibitive age it's not difficult to enjoy the sight of a sexy female enjoying a cigarette on the street or in a designated smoking area at a bar or workplace. However, those of us with a cigar fetish who are fixated with watching a sexy woman lovingly wrap her lips around the end of a good cigar have a tough time finding such means.

How many times have you actually seen a woman smoke a cigar in real life? In fact it's rare to see a woman to smoking a cigar in public, so CigarVixens.com is the place to go for admirers wishing to view glamorous women smoking cigars.
Let’s face it when a woman smokes big cigar it's almost like she sucking on a man’s cock. The bigger the Cigar, the bigger the cock. Step forward and see Ladies such as Kendra James, Lady Lucie, Tandra Day, Christine Carter and many more sucking and slurping for your delectable delight.

FetMart – The Ebay alternative

FetMart is a brand new “kinky auction and adult marketplace” set up and hosted in Australia where you can buy and sell items that you wouldn’t normally be able to sell on sites like eBay. As a plus, you know that you’re buying and you’re selling to like minded people which can only be good.

The site is pretty easy to use if you’re familiar with other auction sites, as it follows the same set of rules – only that on FetMart, fetish and adult items are the norm.

What’s great about this site is that you can list an item for free –and you only pay when the item sells. I'm sure that will change as it gains popularity.

The help section is quite comprehensive and teaches you all the basics of the site – a great place for beginners and seasoned auctioneers alike.

Do check out FetMart, in case you want to sell some of your old latex outfits or not. You could even land a good deal on a Fucking machine or some sought after item you've been looking for.

The challenge with this site is that most of the items appear to be located in the USA and Australia which could be detrimental when it comes to shipping & import costs.

Also problematic is the search function since it only searches products and not location.

High Heels - When times are tough, heels get higher

According to Dr. Trevor Davis (Consumer Product Expert with IBM) in a recession heels go up and stay up as people turn to extreme fashion to forget the troubling times.

The problem now is that the economy has been in a downturn for such a long time that heels are on the way down. Trevor Davis, said "This time, something else is occurring -- maybe a mood of long term austerity is evolving among consumers sparking a need to reduce ostentation in everyday settings."
Looking back to the last 100 years of shoe shopping and fashion trends heel heights surged in the most distinguished recessions in History. Low-heeled (flapper shoes) in the 1920s were replaced with high-heel pumps and platforms in the Great Depression of the 1930s. Platforms were revived during the 1970s oil crisis, reversing the preference for low-heeled sandals in the late 1960s. This is not to assert that ultra high heels have gone. Fortunately not but as the recession has intensified, they are now classified as Glam and Party wear and not necessarily worn for the office or shopping.

An analysis of the last 4 years of social media showed that the accelerating heel height peaked toward the end of 2009 and has since then been tumbling downwards. Let's hope not too far down.

While heels on ladies shoes and boots are still high, the IBM analysis points towards a change. It makes me wonder if shoe manufacturers use this kind of data when deciding styles for the next season.

It would appear that Social Media and posts by high heels fans is used as the reference point for IBM's special analysis software to search many billions of social media posts of individuals discussing shoes. These bloggers aren't classified as shoe experts as they don't work in the shoes industry. But are instead keen shoes fans with enormous followings.

The IBM project illustrates how classy research of social media could be employed by makers in planning future products and for outlets selecting which products to stock.

The analysis results go on and on but if you'd like to know more on the subject do check out www.ibm.com/bao

A shame they hadn't checked my site as my heels have always remained ridiculously high and will remain so for 2012 and beyond.

Lady Ana Entry Page

Image via Wikipedia
Finally after much messing about i have figured out how to create a decent entry page to my website. Gone is the 3 click entry page asking for you to confirm your date of birth and replaced by a beautiful ENTER button. The current EXIT button points to Bugatti Cars.
Why Bugatti cars i hear you ask? Simple really I really NEED one so is my secondary reference and yours an insight to my dreams and desires. Who knows, i may even add a 2nd and a 3rtd exit button to other such needs and desires like Weismann Cars, a small German manufacturer i came across. Problem is i'll probably need some new outfits if i got one of those.

Image by cosmic_spanner via FlickrOh and the new site is a trifle delayed and reckon that if all goes to plan should be ready by mid January 2012.

Some interesting posts as follows

PARTY Review - BOUDOIR BIZARRE / 5th November 2011 - Amsterdam

Image via WikipediaNow in it's 6th year Boudoir Bizarre the party and not to be confused with
the Etsy shopping site Boudoir Bizarre
http://www.etsy.com/shop/boudoirbizarre held their previous Fetish Party
at a brand new location last month, November 2011. Although what one would
call a party centre http://www.silverstone.nl/ with indoor karting and
lasergames the venue and organizers created a wonderful fetish space with
many distinct comfortable locations with connecting corridors adding a
lovely walkabout feel to the event.

The staff were pleasant and Security only there when they needed to be.
Thankfully the days of being criminalized like at airports, with full body
searches seems to have taken a back seat. Locations are beginning to see
Fetishists as they are. Intelligent, reasonably wealthy & with discerning
taste.

Lets face it if you regularly attend a Fetish Party you're likely to have
a few outfits for the occasion and whether they're in leather, pvc or even
latex they're not going to be cheap. Oh and if you're considering
purchasing a latex outfit for an event in the future you should keep an
eye on my website as i'm due to launch my own "LADY ANA" range in the
new year aimed at girls like me and of course the real deal.
I don't know what it is about Stage Shows and why the party comes to a
grinding halt as soon as the MC appears on stage. Fortunately this party
features a 2nd room catering to the Alternative Gothic and Industrial scene.
If you have no desire to see some aging hippy or blood soaked demons
cavorting on stage you can head off to the other room to continue your
dancing experience.

I'm looking forward to the day when there is a coordinated musical
introduction to the the stage shows. Perhaps Combichrist's song
"This Shit will F**K you up" could transcend into some Military style
Latex Fashion show with the MC's voice being interspersed with
"I am a bitch, how do you want me" and the stage show ending with some
moisant bint doing something with some insane object and transcending
back into the party with "Shut up and Swallow".

For those who like to chat there are lounges playing ambient Trance
like music with which to quietly exercise your tonsils.
As smoking isn't allowed in the venue itself there is a smoking area
with comfortable seating and enough room to rest your feet on a passing
boot slave.
If BDSM is your thing there's a fully equipped Dungeon area with which to
practice your art. Bring on the Gyno examination.

Bar prices and measures were reasonable but once again we had to endure
the challenge of figuring out how much we would drink as the dreaded
Munten had to be purchased in order to pay for drinks. With a zero
refund policy on unused Munten i question how this can possible aid
customer experience of visiting party goers. Whilst Munten is indeed a
good way for bar staff to be able to work quickly through a busy crowd
how many of us hold a collection of such munten that we have been
unable to exchange for our hard earned cash?

Munten aside i must applaud Mr N and his team for yet another successful
Boudoir as it is known and look forward to the next installment of this
popular cacophony of Fetishism on February 18th 2012.
This event is hugely popular and regularly sells out so to be sure of
your place at the party you are urged to get your ticket early.

For out of town visitors the site links to http://www.hotels.nl/ for
a selection of quality reasonably priced rooming options.
As the party is NOT held in the centre of Amsterdam, much to my annoyance
(8 mins from Amsterdam Sloterdijk Railway Station) a taxi is a very good
option http://www.tcataxi.nl/
But do check the site in case they decide to run a Shuttle Bus.
