Imitation is...

... the sincerest form of flattery...

For those of you unfamiliar with Polo Polo Pluto, he is one drop-dead handsome Asian rubberman who happens to own his own shop and models his wares for all to see (and drool over).

I was particularly impressed with his "Pisces" suit and wanted to get myself a copy. Unfortunately, he is not selling outside of China at the moment, and I really didn't feel comfortable opening up an AliPay account (somehow, giving my bank information to an Alibaba subsidiary did not inspire the warm fuzzies for me.)

So I reached out to the folks at Aqualatex and asked if they could do a similar suit. I also didn't quite feel comfortable with the zip-over bondage gloves that covered the regular gloves. They could... within limits. The color scheme, for example. Since they only offer toe socks in black, I was constrained to what I could do for the suit.  

Other than that, they did an outstanding job. I went with a metallic bronze and black combination and as with their red suit, it fits great! I was getting a military vibe with this type of suit, so I had also added some hash marks in metallic gold onto the right sleeve. Unfortunately, gold on bronze doesn't show up so well... I wish they had asked me about it... nevertheless, I love the suit and love how it feels!
