My first Zentai suit

Yesterday one of the two long awaited Zentai suits has finally arrived. I knew it will be a bit of a tight fit but it will not be too small. The suit looks more or less like Spider-Man, but not quite the same due to copyright.

It is really amazing how well the suit actually fits and it is nice and comfortable to wear because it is a nrea perfect fit. The mesh for the eyes causes a bit of eyesight problems which means that a lot of detail is gone, but it doesn't make me blind. Even the fingers are perfect length and can be used for typing unlike most other gloves.

Originally I bought the Zentai suit on Ebay from a company in China. The shipping was a bit expensive, but otherwise it might not arrive at all. Communication with the company by email was also quite good with delivery and quick service.

Train cable theft

This morning was a total disaster for the Cape Town railway line and the thousands of commuters stranded because somebody stole cables which affected several lines. Many trains had to line up to slowly move towards Cape Town on one lines that was functioning. I had to walk from the standing train to Esplanade station, then the one block to Woodstock just to see the same picture, then I walked a few blocks to Main raod and took a taxi to Mowbray.

Matieka 2008 Report: Maskenball (costume party)

The Maskenball (costume party) at the Matieka 2008 in Stellenbosch was a lot of fun this year. The event at the Van Der Stel Sportsklub was wild and sold out as always. The band playing was Bobby's Band, which has been there several times in the past. Fokus was there as always to take photos.

My friend David and myself wore costumes for the event. He was a demon and I was a nun. We both had latex masks on, mine was foam latex. To change my bodyshape a bit, I had some breast padding to look a bit more like a female. We both enjoyed wearing our costumes quite a lot.
