(Re)making Catwoman


Fetish photographer Steve Diet Goedde has a very cool blog post with photos that gives readers a behind the scenes look at the (re)making of a catwoman suit. Currently, the Met is hosting "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy," featuring superhero couture. The Met wanted to include the Catwoman costume Michelle Pfeiffer wore in "Batman Returns." Originally, the suit was created by latex fashion house Syren. So, the Met requested they put the since dismantled and degraded ensemble back together again for the show. Because Steve works with SM goods purveyors Jt's Stockroom, which owns Syren, he got a sneak peek at the resurrection of Catwoman's second-skin.

Currently, you can see Steve's photographs in the flesh at "LA Nude X," alongside work by Leonard Nimoy, Dennis Hopper, and Greg Gorman.

Also? Latex Tight Whiteys. Now, I know those can't be comfortable.
