Andy CosmicRoo, Mr. Rubber Toronto, Wins Mr. International Rubber 17

Mr. Midwest Rubber Jesse is 1st runner-up

Mr. Fetish Leather Austria InTrouble is 2nd runner-up.

Isn’t he adorable?

What a fun weekend with a well deserved Rubberman chosen to represent the Rubber Community.  I’ve been watching Andy “Cosmic Roo” on his journey up to MIR on Instagram and Twitter for about a year now.  His enthusiasm, sense of humor and creativity making his own rubber gear was impressive and always made me smile.  While ALL of the contestants were fantastic, this Toronto Rubberman got my audience vote at the end of the night.   Absolutely thrilled he won.  You can follow and SUPPORT him during his year as MIR 17 at the links below.

I was lucky enough to be given a Press Pass for MIR weekend which I took advantage. Let’s just say I have my work cut out for me sorting through a great deal of sexy shiny photos.   Many are fun candid shots.  And, yes, there will be a “BULGE REPORT: MIR Edition.    I hope to share them here sometime this week.
