Alter Ego Break - Zentai

I'm currently working on a story, but as I was looking at this year's entries, I said to myself, "Geez, you're taking a long time with this one." Well, I am. It's something I've been thinking of for a while and it's taking me a bit of work to get the depth of the story just right.

So I figured that I should at least do something to keep my readers coming back for more.

Zentai.

I have a couple of suits I got on ebay, as well as some that I had made for me. Not as tight as rubber, but just as enclosing, Zentai is a great way to become incognito and have some fun.

Of course, a little bit of rubber beneath it is always a pleasure ...


This is one of the ones I had made. I always was attracted to the silver ones, but I wanted to be able to see out. And I've seen some with dark gauze cutout eyes, but I didn't like the way that looked - too anthropomorphic. I wanted something a little more alien - sort of like Gort from "The Day the Earth Stood Still"



I loved this design so much, I also had it done in two other colors - red and gold



Ebay also provides some great finds - most of the vendors are in China, and while the prices are great, the shipping SUCKS. I did buy a couple there. They fit a little tigher and despite the exorbitant shipping, everything was well made.

And a black and red one:
