Almost Halloween or extreme fetishism? Designer Jaiden rVa James’ SM hoods will put your eye out. [10/26/09, London]

I can’t speak with great expertise as to exactly what’s going on here because I don’t speak Deutsch, but what we appear to have is a “mobile dominatrix” who will come abuse interested submissives wherever they are. Basically, this German dominatrix rides around in a van that contains a portable dungeon. She shows up where you are—at work, at home, I don’t know—and you climb inside her dungeon on wheels for the spanking of your life. Or flogging. Or whatever it is that you are into. I like how the Domina-Mobil has no shame; in America, I don’t think you could get away with driving a van with a dominatrix painted on the side and a fully equipped dungeon inside. Check out a shot of the interior of Dominatrix My Mobile after the jump.

Paging all Madonnaphiles! The Daily Beast has gone through the trouble of rounding up the “9 Sexiest Madonna Videos” of all time. Some of their picks are spot-on—“Like a Virgin,” “Justify My Love,” “Like a Prayer.” But other choices are downright weird—“Ray of Light” never struck me as particularly sexy. The most notably absent sexy Madonna video? “Human Nature.” You’d think being chained to a chair, spanking a dog, and wearing a latex bikini would count for something in a woman’s career.

We’ve seen something like these kooky masks before. Designer Ilya Fleet created a similar series for sex boutique Coco de Mer. But shoe designer Minna Parikka‘s line of masks is a little less fetishistic, and they’re made out of deconstructed and repurposed shoes. While Parikka typically designs pretty-in-pink, retro-style footwear, these colorful, playful masks are equal parts lucha libre and sex kitten. What do you think: totally insane or Halloween potential? [Style Bubble] 

From the runway to the pages of magazines, fashion is experiencing a resurgence of SM-inspired style. Calvin Klein handcuffs? Check. Whip-wielding models? You bet. Back in the 90s, Versace paved the way with bondage gear that borrowed heavily from the underground fetish scene. Now that kink has gone mainstream, more designers are finding their influences in the SM scene. Last year, Dolce & Gabbana brought the sexy back with crops and padlocked belts. Today, fetish is everywhere.
