FASHION FILES
FOLSOM BERLIN
Forget Fashion Week in Paris! Or New York or Milan for that matter. You can keep your Jean-Paul Gaultier and your Yves Saint Laurent. Our search for style inspiration took us to the streets of Berlin, where true fashionistas immerse themselves in the latest collections from the House of Mr. S Leather. Where masks, collars, leashes, and butt plug tails are all the rage. It's Folsom Europe, and it's a bow-wow palooza of canine-centric styles marking the urban runway. Half the world, or at least some guys on a Saturday, decided it was time to get on all fours and succumb to their true nature. And that nature is wrapping itself up in leather, latex, and a variety of other natural and human-made materials.
Germans love their shepherds—evident by the number of masks we spotted. The first one to catch our eye was two-toned, featuring hand stitching, a zipper mouth, and a faux fur mohawk. I’m guessing the faux fur has multiple uses, such as a sensory enhancer or a back-end cleaner. The second mask we spotted was all black, made out of thick rubber, with an attaching collar. Collars are the perfect accessory because they’re stylish and practical! They give your mask a finished look, plus you can tighten the shit out of them, restricting breathing and enhancing sexual pleasure. This one was paired with a vibrant one-piece purple bodysuit featuring a paw print on the ass and a butt plug tail—essential for anyone serious about a good time. By the way, you don't have to Google "rectum appendage" to buy a butt plug tail. Just go to Amazon.

But wait, there's more! We saw a pair of two-toned latex shepherd masks with matching bodysuits, collars, and butt plug tails—of course. Bodysuits are great for aesthetically-challenging figures, which require additional cover-up in the pursuit of action. They were following another two-toned mask design with a zipper mouth. Zipper mouths are AWESOME for easy access. Plus, you can shut your partner up when you’re done—nothing worse than mundane chatter after a quickie. Paw gloves and knee pads are very trendy this season, for those opting to travel on all fours.
Now doggie style wasn't the only genre choice for those sporting leather and latex facial gear. We saw multiple versions of masks with just eye and mouth holes, including the one worn by my new found friend in his brown rubber uniform. These holes are made for poking. There were leather strap masks covering up the eyes and mouth and leather strap masks with gag balls. I wish I had purchased one of these masks for an ex. She took the gift of gab to new stratospheres. Some I’m just not sure how to describe. One had snaps across the forehead and down the cheekbones— for a strapon? We also saw a shitload of police and military uniforms. Germans fucking love authority, although one guy looked more like a Canadian Mountie, than an authority figure. Are Canadian Mounties supposed to be authority figures? We even saw one woman, the one woman at Folsom, sporting a dapper Marine uniform. Semper Fi!
Some classics will never go out of style, and you bet your bottom dollar, ass-less chaps are as popular today as they’ve ever been in the S&M fashion world. We saw plenty. We wish we had seen less. The two looks that caught my eye, and I hope to see more of, are gas masks and scuba gear. Nothing says danger, fun, excitement, and multiple orgasms quite like restricted breathing wear. That’s why I’m picking underwater, toxic war gear, as the next big trend in S&M. Hit the Army surplus and dive shops now, because this time next year, the shelves are going to be barren. Now for some Jägermeister. Lebewohl!
