Нашел у себя это интервью на чистейшем английском, в том виде, как мы его отсылали организаторам. Чтоб никого особо не "улыбало" после прочтения его через переводчик с французского, думаю самое правильное, разместить здесь хотя бы эту английскую версию (Аня писала, хотя могла бы писать сразу на французском. Но английский ей оказался роднее))) :
1. Can you present your brand Rubear ?
Rubear is the Russian latex atelier founded in 2005. We call our brand “The magnificent world of rubber”. We have a wide range of different latex clothing and accessories of all kinds, from exquisite high fashion club wear to the most heavy rubber items and adult toys.
The main part of our assortment consists of high quality glued clothes made by our employees, we have women and men collection, lingerie, catsuits, corsets, masks and inflatable hoods, vacuum-bed, sleep sacks, and many bondage devices.
We also provide moulded items from England, such as gloves, stockings, gauntlet, etc.
We produce realistic masks with fine mannequin faces, and our new items are the moulded live doll suit and the moulded corset.
For our classic collection we mostly use the 4D Rubber latex sheeting, and we also produce our own exclusive textured and printed latex.
2. How did you discover latex, and can you explain when and how did Rubear born ?
It happened with the spread of the Internet We were amazed by pictures of shiny girls in skintight latex clothes that we could see in the web. So we started looking for such clothes, and could not find them in Russia at all. The foreign shops looked quite expensive, and they were very far away. So it was a big problem to buy something like that here. And we addressed one Russian factory which manufactured rubber, and asked them to produce some black latex sheeting for us. They said that the minimum amount is 100 meters, and we agreed. If you had 100 meters of latex, what would you do? Of course it was too much for us, and we started making clothes for our friends from the small Moscow latex community. Then we found the way to order latex from Europe, trained a couple of gluers, and created the small homepage in the Internet for sales.
3. Do you work with other materials ?
Latex, latex and just latex There are lots of directions in this area, we have plenty of ideas and plans, so I we think this is enough for us.
4. Your creations have original textures. Can you talk about this, and explain us how do you get this idea ?
Yes, actually there was no long meditations and reflections about textured latex. We just made it, and then started thinking whether it is interesting to someone. Then we found a great site Bodycult and realized that we are not alone in this business. At the same time, we realized that we are not even the inventors and discoverers of it, and have nothing to be too much proud of. We think that the inventor of the textured latex is the man who invented different flowers on swimming caps, or the one who invented the ribbed rubber mat, which lies in front of each entrance door. Frankly speaking, there is not much bigotry around a textured latex in Russia, people prefer the glossy black, but, at the same time there are real connoisseurs who prefer only TL.
5. What is your bestseller item ?
Catsuit of course. The black shiny skintight catsuit is the strongest desire of all Russian rubberists.
6. Can you talk about the fetish & S/M world in Russia ? What are the most popular sexual practices ? the trends ? the atmosphere in parties ?
S/M is much more advanced than fetish in Russia. The S/M community numbers at least several thousand members. The most popular practices are flagellation and bondage. There are some well-known authority persons who arrange seminars and publish some books, where they teach the neophits how to work with different devices and improve their skills. There are many S/M parties arranged in Russia, most of them in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. There are 2 BDSM Balls each year, Bondage festival, the Halloween party, and lots of small club parties almost every day. Unfortunatelly the community is quite scattered, because there are many organizers of different events, and all of them try to win as much public on their side as possible. They can even arrange 2 different parties at the same time, so it doesn’t go so smoothly.
At the parties the atmosphere is quite comfortable and friendly, people relax, make acquaintances, watch the performances, take part in small funny contests, and dance. The performances are mostly very simple and « home-maid » - some couples show their practices on the scene, or some invited artists dance and show something interesting.
At the BDSM Balls the performance is more serious, it usually includes fire show, suspension, and dangerous practices with fire, piercing, knife-play and electricity. The chill out rooms are free for anybody who wants to find some private place for S/M practices. And of course people try to keep the dress-code. Leather, vinyl, zentai, corsets, uniforms, and latex. Many fetishists join the S/M community and visit their parties in latex.
As for pure fetish, the first party in Russia was FPN – Fetish Party Night arranged by Billy, the zentai designer and photographer of the StylishFetish.com project. His parties were always of the extremely high quality, very elegant and well-organized, with bright professional show and invited guests. We remember the amazingly flexible Zlata visiting FPN in 2007. These parties had the merry and carefree atmosphere of carnival.
We also have cyber and freak fetish parties such as Fetish Front and HorrorShow. Their visitors are mostly young people, lots of goths and freaks. So the music is loud there, the dances are wild, and the visitors attract more attention than the show, as you can find very odd-looking persons, body-modified and tattooed.
As for pure latex parties, where the dresscode permits latex only, they are quite poorly attended. First latex gatherings in Moscow were arranged by us, we invited our friends to our cottage and had some party there with photosessions, submergence into vacuum bed and small S/M practices. We jokingly called these parties The Intergalactic Latex Party, and there were usually about 15 persons The last Intergalactic Latex Party 2008 was hold in the night club, and the attendance was over 40 persons.
Now the regular rubber parties are arranged by Xozt. The parties take place every month at different clubs, and the attendance is about 30 people.
7. What kind of customers do you have? Are they only Russian or do you sell also abroad, and in what countries?
Most of our customers are Russian and from the ex Soviet Union. It’s a great problem to buy latex here. Our country has spent too much time under the Iron Curtain, when all kinds of deviations and unusual behavior were prohibited and strictly punished. So fetish is just starting to arise here. In this sense Russia is decades behind Europe. It’s good for Rubear as a brand – we have 150 million people in our country, and just a couple of fetish manufacturers. But as fetishists we feel sorry for this – we want huge fetish balls with hundreds of visitors, and we dream that one day every Russian family will have a couple of catsuits in the wardrobe
We do have customers from abroad. And of course black catsuit is not what they order from Russia. The most popular items are inflatable alien hoods, and things made of textured latex as well. Not long ago we had to make 6 alien hoods for foreign clients from different countries at the same time. We thought that all people of Earth suddenly decided to become aliens and fly far away from it to other galaxies Nevertheless we still have some customers in Germany, France, Sweden, Netherlands, Belgium, UK, Spain, Canada, USA, Japan and Indonesia. They order our production from RuBeaR.Ru and from our European dealer RuBeaR.Net, founded by well-known photographer Phoebus.
8. Who are your fetish icons ? or is there a particular image that inspires you ?
Oh, it was so long ago, when we had fetish idols, that it’s difficult now to remember concrete persons. Perhaps the first thing that has made the strongest impression on us, were pictures by Jo Hammar and Alexander Horn. And it is probably necessary to recall Peter Chernich, who also made great contribution to the formation of our fetish world.
9. Who would you like to see wearing your clothes? Why ?
6 milliard of Earth inhabitants... Of course it’s a joke. Speaking seriously, not all of them, but just good-looking young girls.
10. What are your future plans?
Less work, more rest and parties
We work 14 hours per day, and the routine kills the creation. But we dream that in future we will have more free time. And when we have more free time, we’ll make the fetish world amazed by some very special and exclusive collection.
А больше я вам ничего не скажу...
И так уже наболтал...
