NEW YORK—Latex has been in the spotlight lately, from fashion runways and magazines, to music videos and film, but for some it’s a way of life. What better place to celebrate the trendy trend than the annual New York Rubber Ball and Miss Rubber World contest, which will return for its 7th year to entertain and titillate rubber fetish enthusiasts and the curious from around the globe on Saturday, April 6, 2013, at the Union Square Ball Room.
Rubberists from around the world gather each year to launch the beginning of the international fetish party calendar with the crowning of Miss Rubber World, and this year’s contest, coronation, and party are not to be missed. Each year this unique event grows with more and more contestants vying for the crown, donning their shiny best in spectacular performances. Punctuating the evening’s competition segments are groundbreaking fashion shows presented by some of the world’s leaders in fetish fashion from New York, including local press darlings such as Klawtex, The Baroness and Latex Nemesis, and international fetish sensations like Dawnamatrix and Lovely Latex. This year also promises to bring larger runway productions from independent labels as well as international heavy-hitters.
New York Rubber Ball/Miss Rubber World veterans can expect to see some changes to the format next year with the addition of production designer Klawdya Rothschild of Klawtex, and an international liaison, last year’s winner, Kylie Marilyn (Miss Rubber World 2012). They have teamed up with event producer Dana Windsor to knock the socks off of attendees with more hands-on, interactive festivities.
Who has what it takes to wear the crown? Last year a new record was reached for the Miss Rubber World prize pool, totaling over $15,000 in cash, travel funds, latex gear and other prizes from over 150 international sponsors, and 2013 promises to be even higher.
The New York Rubber Ball/Miss Rubber World is the event for rubberists the world over. For broadcast opportunities or to sponsor the event, contact Dana Windsor at [email protected]. For tickets and more information about the event, visit here.
