Remembering “Rubber Jason”

I met Jason twice.  Once during MIR last year when I saw him running between interviews and gave him a compliment about the Green Lantern fantasy he gave on Friday night.  Fans of the Green Lantern comics are going to appreciate this more than others. From what I could tell, he had put lighting over his Green Lantern latex catsuit and then placed transparent latex over that. His fantasy was read aloud while he was on stage. The lights on his suit made him glow a bright emerald GREEN… until that moment of ecstasy when they glowed RED.  It was very, very creative and everyone was impressed.  I’ve never seen anyone do anything like that before with Latex.
Genius
Catching him real quick to say hello the following day, I gave him the compliment.  You could tell he was flustered from the stress of being a contestant.  The look on his face changed to a big smile… and then he just hugged me.  I didn’t know the guy and this was a long and warm hug.  “Thank you”.   I just thought… Wow.  What a sweet man. 
That sort of openness, the ability to let your guard down and be appreciative of others,  can be a difficult thing for some people to do at times.   Those two minutes together left an impression on me.  Seriously, the world needs more people like Jason.  
The second time we met was after MIR where we briefly ways to promote the Rubber Community in the New England area, events he involved in or planning and was to continue to promote MIR.  We kept in touch to do so and he was always the sweet heart electronically, too.  
The Chicago Rubbermen’s “Pup Boomer” has put together a bar night on March 1st to Celebrate the Life of Jason on March 1st.   Facebook Event Page below.   While I will be in Saint Louis for Mr Missouri Leather weekend, I will be thinking of Jason and his partner Stephen as I put on my Rubber and Green Lantern ring this weekend.

                                           Rubber Rebounds in New England
                 A fetish community turns out as RubberJason takes the title of Mr. New England Rubber
BOSTON (April 12, 2012) – The world of rubbermen contests began in Boston with the Mr. Vulcan competition two decades ago. Now, New England is reclaiming its place as a hub of the rubber-kink community. More than 100 kinksters turned out as 37-year-old Jason Lynch, (aka, RubberJason) donned the sash of the 2nd annual Mr. New England Rubber. 
In the eyes of many, the event marked a sea change for the region’s rubber fetish community. Rubber and latex fetish have long been a minor component of kink culture, especially in the leather-dominated Northeast. However, the last year has witnessed a growing number of rubber enthusiasts at organized fetish events—and has spawned the new organization, the New England Rubber Men, which has more than 50 members despite having formed a mere five months ago. 
“I can’t say how proud I am of the enormous response we’ve seen in such a short amount of time,” said Lynch, who is one of the founding members of the New England Rubber Men. “I think there are a lot of guys in this area who have been a little intimidated to show their rubber-kink side. Now, they’re finding out that this area’s fetish community is a big and welcoming place…and they’re more than happy to show up.”
And, they’ll have plenty of new opportunities to do just that. Along with first-runner-up GloveBoy, second-runner-up Clark Longhammer, and last year’s winner Nochmal, Lynch and the New England Rubber Men will host several rubber events around New England including various demos and social get-togethers. 
“I think we’re at the start of something big in New England—something that will open the kink community to a much bigger group, “ said Justin Eddy (SirJustin), owner of the MNER contest and International Mr. Deaf Leather 2011. 
Lynch will now have an opportunity to represent the New England rubber community on an international stage by donning the MNER sash (which was designed by latex fashion icon, The Baroness) at the 16th annual Mister International Rubber Contest in November in Chicago. He has big waders to fill, however. Mr. New England Rubber 2011, Nochmal, took first-runner-up at the competition.
Supports have little doubt that the self-proclaimed “cub” will be a favorite at the competition. He was selected by a panel of judges comprised of well-known personalities within the rubber community: G-man, Mr. International Rubber 2011; Richard Nordin (Nochmal), Mr. New England Rubber 2011; Bob Roberts, Mr. American Rubber 2012; Miss Corvette, Ms. FLAG 2011; along with Brian Conway and Patrick Pierson (Pleep), two popular contestants from the Mister International Rubber 2011 contest.
