Hey Pup Renegade tell us what got you into your fetish?

Funny story, my curiosity and my art got me into fetishes. I was around 14-15 when I started to use my deviant art account to post my sketches and digital work and someone told me how I drew some of my characters. It reminded them of the pvc catsuit catwoman wore or seamless latex catsuits. From there I started to search for latex catsuits and saw both men and women looking even better and happy!

How would your friends describe you? 

Quiet but Outspoken Introverted latex covered helper.

Tell us about your fetishes and Gear?

My fetish for full coverage, dehumanising latex started with my love for wrestling masks and spandex athletic clothing. Latex just heightens the feeling to the max by taking everything away but a shiny or matte silhouette of a person that could be man, woman, animal, or NOTHING AT ALL!! Something about becoming nothing or something else in full rubber was RELAXING especially when I was a manager and active military, constantly being known all the time because of my colour of my skin, height, my long jet black hair no matter how its styled, physical appearance I thought was ugly all my life but getting praised as “cute” or “sexy” gets old QUICK!!!

What attracted you to becoming one of our Restrict Gear ambassadors?

A friend set me up to try this out and put my artwork and talent to use to help others and so far I LOVE IT!

You're a creative person, what drives your creative side?

I have a history or artist in my family. My uncle ,I never got a chance to meet, passed away before I was born, used to draw and design all the time and stayed to himself but never had the opportunity to show his work. My mom who passed away back in 2018 while I was on deployment used to draw all the time and read allot, so I guess I can say they passed the torch to me and embedded this old saying to me “NEVER allow yourself to among the majority when you can see things different and make it into art and become a minority!”

What kink events have you been to or plan to visit in the future? what did you like about them.

I've only been to a few small kink friendly events, SWPAH (south west puppy and handlers), Southern Decadence ( New Orleans Pride week), Atlanta pride ( matched with the small ground known as Hotlanta Rubbermen in full rubber in the middle of the summer, I was legit swimming in my full custom dogsuit I designed). I hope to plan to go to more but its always great to meet new shiny people and just enjoy the energy of other like minded people no matter of gender, skin colour, size, and health conditions.

Where do you buy your gear? and what do you like about those stores?

I've been forced to buy most of my gear custom “bespoke” because of my odd and not so common shape and size of being a taller and bigger man of colour. I've tried most of the big brand names like Libidex, Mr S leather, Syren, Honour, Vixen, and Blackstyle and im always between sizes or they dont offer made to measure or limited but I choose to buy mostly and exclusively from Invincible rubber over the past 15 years alongside with kink engineering, regulation, wet hot rubber, and few others small brands coming up on the rise! They seem to value their customers' opinion and help them enjoy the latex as the best way possible allowing alternations and made to measure and custom designs that I draw, that fit my body type like a glove!

What was your first piece of rubber gear and how did it make you feel?

My VERY first rubber item was a white basic rubber hood from Libidex , grey russian gas mask from Forttroff, and a neck entry catsuit from Invincible at 16! I was very scared I would damage it or I wouldn't look like the models because its hard being colours in the community when everyone has 10 pack abs, chiseled jawline, hypnotizing eyes, and a small tight ass. However once I got in full rubber looked at myself in the mirror and that scared tall teenager with thunder thighs, bubble butt, natural big chest and broad shoulders made that combination of gear look great to the point I asked my mom what she thinks about it ( scary being that my mom is that iconic southern Christian woman that is “by the book” but she let me know she likes it and grey always looks good on me! She said I look like Roger from american dad hahahahaha)

Any advice for someone new starting to explore their kinks?

My advice to anyone who wants to explore their kinks is to be open about it to the people you cherish as your friends. It could be online or in your hometown, but letting people know how you feel about things just opens the door for new opportunities because you never know your best friend thats always on his own might have a secret double life as a service gimp or know of a safe area for you to explore!
