Leaving little to the imagination
Giving front rowers an "inside view" / sneak peak peek a boo no panties
Sweet spot
The Leatherman:
Not to be outdone the Leatherman not only showed their own original custom designs but also showcased designs from inseam, and others.
Not suprisingly the Lethermans men represented a refreshing range of ruffians. From tattooed pierced punks to an axe wielding, wild bearded bear in a butchers smock & jock, my personal favorite.
Nasty pig:
Served up Brought a bevy of buff beauties to be worshiped and drooled over. As always NP. The gear was standard of their Alpha male gear paired with an LA Bad Ass, gangbanger prison fantasy look NP also added some fun to their usual seriousness with a bit of drag sending out a veiled white clad bitch "bride" as their finale.
What stole the show was the great spirited crowd. Fellow fetishiers fetishizers came out in mass support. All decked out representing the fetishes to which they are enslaved.
Trends:
Color, lots of color, I saw more color on the runway this season than all the fetish fashion shows Ive attended in the past. No longer does fetish equal standard black. Everything from passionate purples, bubble gum pinks that pop to rich reds & bright blues & piss yellow.
Work wear: We do love our butch gear and our comfort but still like to give a little flavor to our don traditional gear. This seasons wears were delivered in full with Firemen and Rough necks in mind.
Rubber:
If color is the new black these season then rubber is definitely the new leather.
Designers & retailers sent a variety of rubber goodies in an assortmet of colors.
An inflatable straight jacket in piss yellow was a hit with the crowd.
Note worthy:
Fireman Fantasy- wrestling firemans carry
A red & black princess zip corsette drew Oooos &. Ahhhs from the croud
Crowd favorite

Interview With Damian Lewd By: ian jacobs
It's nearly 1am before Photographer Damian Lewd has a free moment to have this short discussion with me for a first interview and I'm eager to get a few questions answered.
ianjacobs (ij): Tell me about Lewd Life what is it and how did it come to pass?
DamianLewd (DL): lewd life spawned from personal projects that I did for myself when I kept the freak inside me on a short leash. There was my commercial work then there was "that other stuff" I did. A collection consisting of nudes and a glimpse of the fetishes I was to get into and the full time freak I was to become. I started exhibiting on Fire Island and it started a website to show the work, it took on a life of it's own. The Freak was off the leash. Now there's a website which now is a fetish photography site but I hope to expand it as a brand to include products, chat and social networking.
ij: Why Fetish?
DL: I'm a Horny Bastard and I have a lot of them.
ij: What was the inspiration for the Instigator Magazine piece?
DL: Basically I'm a huge fan of the magazine and have wanted to shoot for them for about 2 years. I just decided to go for it and shoot what I liked and what I thought would look good in the magazine. It was a mix of about 3 stories I (story) borded and shot over a weekend. I had some solid ideas and I wanted to shoot @ The Eagle but, that didn't work out. Maybe next time...if you're listening guys I'll do "ANYTHING" to use your space! I had a lot of help from Max at The Leather man on Christopher St. Those guys are awesome! I'm not sure what was actually published I haven't gotten a copy yet but I think It was the skin head piece...I just thought what's hotter than skin heads, leather and swords.
ij: Instigator is a Male Homo Fetish Magazine do you shoot women or are women included in Lewdlife?
DL: Not really...I rarely shoot women anymore. They're gorgeous creatures but i like shooting stuff that makes my dick hard. I might consider shooting chicks w/ dicks that's kinda hot!
ij: Who would you say are your biggest influences?
DL: WoW...there are so many great artists out there that I look at but in terms of influences..I'd have to say artist like Tom Of Finland, Drubskin & Maplethorpe's photography shaped how I visualize images. I've gotten off so many times as a kid to their stuff.
ij: Who do you look at now?
DL: I really enjoy Joe Oppedisano & Justin Monroe's work! Those guys are awesome. I still look a lot of Drubskin...I always wanted to draw comics.
ij: What's your biggest Fetish?
DL: Toss up between Ripe jocks & Piss.
ij: What biggest turn on/ turn off?
DL: Turn on: A man who wants me. A hard cock in my mouth & foreskin.
Turn off: Bad head & bad kissers & stupidity.
ij: What kind of guys do you like?
DL: One with a hard cock... I like all kinds of guys Daddies, Bears, skaters, punks, skins.... part of what I do visually is find the sexy in every one ...maybe it's so easy for me to do because I'm attracted to so many kinds of guys. I tend to like em older.
ij: Are you single?
DL: Hell yes!
ij: Do you have sex with your models?
DL: I try not to...
ij:What's Next for Damian Lewd?
DL: Well I've been really busy with rebuilding the Lewdlife.com site and shooting for future magazine submissions and look for a book some time next year(2009). I'm working on a photographic novel and eventually, motion picture as a medium.
ij: Sounds like you've got a lot on your plate. What's the book About?
DL: It's a photo book called Fetish Priests I'll leave the rest to your imagination.
ij: And the Comic Book?
DL: Well it's more like a film in graphic novel format. 3 films actually, I'm working on 3 story lines to be rotated like the old cliff hangers. I was thinking Heavy Metal Magazine
ij:I totally get what you mean. That sounds interesting and exciting. What are the stories about?
DL: Exciting and exhausting it's much more like producing a film than a series of photo shoots. Its too early to reveal but I will say that the first is a psychological thriller about a queer serial killer. Think American Psycho (2000), Silence of the Lambs (1991) meets Saw (2004, 2005 et al). Then second is a barbarian story and the third....
ij: Exciting indeed! When and where can we expect to see it?
DL: I try. It's just the stuff I love. I run most every thing past instigator first but there are some other mags I have in mind if they're not interested. There's always the blog and Lewdlife.com.
ij: Well thanks for taking time out to chat with us We'll look for ward to meeting again to further discuss your future projects.
