BBB, Latex Suit and meeting friends

Apologies for the delay in writing this, but my day job has had to get in the way of the post as I’ve been doing all the prep work for the lead up to a major event. *paws over eyes*

The Sunday just gone (16th October) was the Birmingham Bizarre Bazaar held in the Nightingale Club, Birmingham. My owner and I had the day free, so we thought we’d go along for a visit – not because we wanted to buy anything specifically, but more because we thought we’d meet up with some friends there.

At least the plan was to not buy anything specifically, but earlier on in the week, we’d heard some good news … Latex 101 had finished making my custom-fit, custom-designed Latex Dalmatian outfit that I’d asked them to make… but more on that shortly!

We arrived at the BBB, and just as we were walking up so I could go and get changed, we ran in to Nemis and Jools – people we usually only normally meet at Heros! After a 10 minute chat with them, I went to get changed in to Spot, and wire up the E-Stim Remote Box while my owner went off to chat to Latex 101. He was shown a picture of the suit, but wasn’t going to tell me anything about it. *Grrr*

We went up to watch the “Introduction to Rope” workshop that was being run as the demo this month, as it’s something my owner isn’t terribly good at but wants to get better at. Whilst watching the demo, a text message arrived from a friend we’d planned on meeting there; so after the demo we met up and went for a quick drink. After this, we started wandering around the stalls, talking to those that we know and looking in to things that we wanted to get.

Every so often while wandering round the stalls, I got zapped by the E-Stim Remote Box – partially due to my owner having the remote key fob and at other times when E-Stim were demo-ing their kit, as my Remote Box is paired with the demo remote. Eventually, the time came and my owner and I went down to get the new outfit (since we decided it’d be worth waiting to the end of the BBB to pick it up).

When the package was unwrapped, I have to say that I was absolutely astounded with the quality and the look of the suit, I was as close as you get to being speachless!! I had to resist the urge to not try it on right away; as the BBB probably isn’t the best place to ‘rush and try it on’. I paid Latex 101 for the Dalmatian Latex suit and got some hints and tips for putting the suit on and how to care for it, then carried on with our last bit of shopping.

As the BBB was about to close, we quickly went and bought one thing from Edgeplay. Whilst buying the item, the E-Stim stall packed up and went!! I didn’t get to say Bye to them … *Whine* … however I knew where they’d parked, and so we left the BBB (I didn’t bother to change out of Spot) and went to say ‘TTFN’ to E-Stim. It was now time to walk back to the car, said goodbye to our friend and then start the drive home. 🙁

I was feeling really quite relaxed and pup-like at this point, and didn’t really want to come home, so we stopped up somewhere near home and worked out what to do from there. In the end, it was decided that we’d go out for dinner, but I’d need to pull some domestic clothes on over Spot. After dinner, we came home and it was finally time to get to try on my Latex suit.

It felt and fitted fantastically well, but was a little difficult to get on the first time I tried. However, once it was on, I absolutely loved it and didn’t want take it off again. Even though the paws are from a different company, and look different, you wouldn’t really notice when you look at it with the suit on. The picture below is a quick snapshot from a camera phone so that I could see the effect, and also so there is a ‘taster’ of what the suit looks like. I want to get some decent pictures of the new Latex Suit, and so when those have been taken I’ll post them on my blog too.

On Wednesday, one of our friends, Gizmo was in the area for an interview, and asked if he could come round and see us – as I was free, he came round for a visit. I was completely spread out on the bed, in full sensory deprivation when Gizmo arrived (I didn’t even realise he’d arrived!), and I guess some 30 minutes later I was freed, and we had a cuppa, a chat and then I got in to the Latex suit so he could see it in person… he thought it was fantastic (or at least that’s what he said ;)) and after an hour or so, I changed back in to civvies, put my dog collar on (as I can’t wear metal in the suit) and we went out for dinner. This was a great day, being able to just relax and enjoy myself and overall, has been a welcome break from the stresses of work etc.
