Happy shiny valentines ❤️🖤

Aldaketa in a metallic red latex catsuit, s10 gas mask and heavy rubber restraints. They have their hands joined in front of them like a cartoon villain plotting something.

Plotting something for #GasMaskMonday

This unit is lagging behind but still receiving transmissions #HiveTask

Also, first pic with its new .4mm M2M catsuit from @latexirime.bsky.social fitting great 🔥

Almost forgot to highlight one of the bingos, woops

It's #gasmaskmonday, make sure to be wearing yours as well!

Happy new year everyone! I hope 2026 will be filled with good things for you all, and especially shiny things, if you're into this 😏

I know I'm late for Christmas pictures, customs were naughty and held onto my new shiny hat (by @restrictgear.bsky.social)

2025 has been pretty taxing on the non shiny side of life for me, but things are looking brighter: new camera, new pieces coming, and hopefully more rubber time next year!

Due to customs holding my packages hostage for this year's Christmas shoot, here's a pic from the archives to enjoy instead 😇

Merry Christmas everyone, I hope the holiday season is gentle with you all 🎄

Instagram suddenly decided this 2 year old video of me should be taken down for "sexual sollicitation".

Regardless... How does it make you feel 😏?

It is #GasMaskMonday y'all

Looks fun 😏 where did you get it?

It does look very cute indeed!

Makes sense! I got the 35mm because I was always shooting with the 22mm in APS-C, and yeah it's hard to beat the focal lengths you're used to 👍

This the way! I picked up this baby last week for cheaper than used. I went for the fixed 35mm f/1.8 however, with the 28-70mm f/2.8 for contexts other than indoor portraits. I feel like 15-30mm would distort the perspective too much but maybe that's just me?

#ShinySaturday is the heavy rubber collar helpful for staying warm?

The lighting's warm, unlike the weather over here 🥶

I didn't take pictures (I guess I was pretty pissed at that moment 😅). There were patches where the latex looked degraded, wouldn't stretch (it just ripped apart instead) and turned really sticky. I think it's similar to what you can get if latex gets in contact with oil (but haven't checked).

Where do I sign up 😏?

What's under your mask?

Hello there 🦈

And also regarding the R8 vs. R6, the R8 doesn't have sensor stabilization. The official 50mm Canon RF lenses don't have stabilization either so that'd mean no stabilization at all with an R8.

This is the way. I'm also waiting for the announcement to see if it's worth it to replace my M50 (that Canon decided to completely abandon with the whole EF-M lenses as well 😭).

Sony should also be announcing their A7V soon as a direct competitor and refresh of the slightly older A7IV

For those wondering, it's from Latex Catfish. Between the wait times, the allergies that their latex triggered, and now this... I wanted to see if their stuff was worthy well I have my answer now. And they're now on my manufacturer shit list.

Packing for a trip only to realize my catsuit's legs decided to melt inside its storage bag. I cut it to keep the good parts as a bodysuit, only to realize that the shoulders in fact also melted. I waited longer for that thing to be made than it actually survived, fml.

One thing to look out for is the water after this. Latex pieces that caused issues for me always tinted or clouded the water when letting them soak, so you could "see" that it was pulling something out. This meant what I was doing was working 👍

Lower quality latex's manufacturing residue is a known offender for me (stuff from latex catfish)

Like this happens. Latex can absorb a lot of stuff (during manufacturing and after) and this can trigger reactions.

What worked for me is letting the offending pieces soak in hot water + latex cleaner for longer than usual, then one round again with hot water (no cleaner), then dip shining.

I have skin issues and while they don't tend to be triggered that much by latex (at least, not anymore than other sources of skin trouble), they manifest as insanely itchy very specific areas like you described.

For latex, the best I managed is to thoroughly clean the latex itself after something..

And they'd be the hardest to migrate off from. Their services are really good technically, but the user experience is so terrible.

Customer support is also basically useless on AWS for small accounts, they're selling to businesses first not indies. Other hosting providers are more approachable on that front in my experience (DO, OVH, etc.). Also AWS is politically the most likely to update their T&C to ban porn overnight...
