I recently found these photos on an old RUBBERZONE gallery that I had forgotten about! Some of my first rubber. The Rubber Chaps were from Mr S Leather. Man, I miss those!
This was before going out to a Chicago Rubbermen party back in 2007. That’s our first Chicago apartment. My partner and I had just moved to Chicago. We were so excited to be a part of the Chicago Leather Community at the time.
Hey #Shiny friends, celebrate 12 yrs of rubberizing Chicago with us! Mark your calendar for Aug 19th @CellBlockChi pic.twitter.com/qqAY4gQHKn
