Meeting Rubber Doll is like meeting a female comic book hero in the flesh.  Wearing her super-high-heel boots, red latex catsuit and matching corset, she seems somehow larger, and certainly shinier, than life.
 
She has a knockout smile, which, when accompanied by a zipper perfectly positioned to reveal just the right amount of tantalizing cleavage, can easily throw a guy both physically and mentally off balance.  But, super powers aside, who is this chick?  (In case you're wondering, no I won't be revealing her real name, as I am sworn to protect her secret identity.) 
 
Rubber Doll is a native of South Florida, and she currently resides in the Fort Lauderdale area.  As her name may suggest, she is a fetish model and performer.  Beyond that, she is a very canny and successful entrepreneur.
 
Starting out more than a decade ago in the Goth scene, an almost mythical time when such exquisite diversity could still be found on Miami Beach, the baby bat who would become Rubber Doll loved to dress up to go out.  And over time, she managed to collect a closet full of beautiful dresses and other gothic garments.  However, after visiting a fetish club, she sold all the velvet and satin, and bought clothes in a material with a little more kink: rubber.
 
"it was a total transformation to a point that a lot of people didn't recognize me."
Wearing rubber is an expensive pastime, that's for sure.  The outfits she is wearing as we sit and talk would retail at more than $1,000 with some of her "really nice ones" costing as much as $2,000.
 
Her personal fetish goes beyond the clothes through.  Rubber Doll says she's bisexual and particularly enjoys using such toys as strap-ons, a device known as the violet wand for electrical play and, of course, spanking, which almost goes without saying. Thwack!
 
When asked what she would say to those of more vanilla tastes who may be interested in finding out more about fetish, she replied, "Don't be intimidated by  the unknown.  Explore and be surprised by how much you enjoy it."
 
Rubber Doll discovered that she could earn a living with her passion and, being into the Internet, she started her own amateur site eight years ago to share her fetish with like-minded individuals.
 
"I went from an amateur site to making a living, "  she said, "never imagined it would really take off like this.  It was a lot of work and rewarding to see it grow"
 
Unlike the case of many women in the world of erotic entertainment, men are not exploiting Rubber Doll.  She is businesswoman first and, as she says, "started from nothing" she owns RubberDoll.net, makes and sells her own videos and organizes the photo shoots. 
 
Currently, the shiny one is focusing on three aspects of her career - live performance.  Web sites and videos.  She thinks, however, that videos are going down as source of income as the Internet becomes an easier way to get film clips.
 
When asked the Rubber Doll will do when she's 50, she thinks about it for a moment, and then the entrepreneur shines through the already shiny exterior.  The goal, she says, is to "move behind the camera."
 
Her second website enterprise is called ShinySluts.com, and for this one girls, supplies wardrobe, does the make up and manages the production of the video clips and the still photography.  So. although not a professional dominatrix, this lady is certainly in charge. 
 
Any she believes wholeheartedly that "everyone should follow their kink."
