Shiny Rainwear

 I'm going to make a confession. I have a fetish. Nothing too strange or perverse. Maybe not really a fetish at all, more an enthusiasm.

What is my shocking confession? I love seeing women and crossdressers wearing shiny rainwear.  And i love wearing it. 

So I guess my revelation seems pretty lame. Nothing shocking at all really. And it isn't.  But the surprising thing is that once upon a time, it was. 

I have always had a liking for girls in shiny clothes. Ever since I was a young child. I remember seeing my Mum in her leather coats and her shiny black rainmac. I was enthralled by seeing her dressed in them.I also used to love seeing other women in any clothes that had a shiny finish to them. 

I also remember watching The Avengers television action show, with the female characters wearing tight leather outfits. My favourite of all was the the second Avengers girl, Emma Peel, played by Diana Rigg. But I also loved her predecessor, Cathy Gale portrayed by Honor Blackman. I loved seeing them in shiny leather and wanted to be just like them. 

I also had a crush on the Scottish singer Lulu and I remember a photo of her in a white,shiny pvc raincoat taken early on in her career. Again I wanted to be just like her.

As the 1970s progressed, leather and pvc started to appear a lot more in women's wardrobes. Leather skirts and dresses and trousers were much more common and mainstream along with leather coats. And pvc was often used as a material for rainwear and would often be bright and shiny.

I came across images of Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn, Jeanne Moreau, Brigit Bardot, Jean Shrimpton, Twiggy and Marilyn Monroe wearing pvc raincoats. They were so beautiful and very sexy. 

In the 1980s pvc rainwear became even more fashionable. I remember seeing girls wearing shiny rainwear on the high street. 

In the early 1990s I was in London and having seen the famous 'From He To She' adverts for the Transformation shops, in the tabloid newspapers, I decided to pop into the shop near Euston Station for a look around. It was here that I purchased a copy of a magazine called World Of Transvestism (more about transgender magazine publications will appear in a future post). I enjoyed reading it and wanted to read more copies. I found out that it could be purchased from most adult book shops. 

So i found myself in an adult bookshop for the first time. A place I felt uneasy in, as I was not after any sexual material.  I found the trans magazines and picked out a couple of issues of World Of Transvestism. And then something caught my eye.  A magazine with a woman in a bright red shiny rainmac on the front of it called Shiny. I also found another magazine called Dressing For Pleasure which had a woman in a rubber rainmac on the front.  I was excited to see them and I purchased them.

Shiny had a lot of photos of women in shiny outfits of all types,mostly what is best called fetish wear. But even better was Dressing For Pleasure which had more rainwear along with the fetish wear. 

I found seeing the images of women in shiny rainwear extremely exciting, and I will admit that I was aroused by them. 

From that moment on I started down the path of having a rainwear fetish. For years it was just looking at images of women in rainwear in magazines and in time, the Internet.

But as I started crossdressing more regularly, then the desire to wear the rainwear grew and grew. And eventually in 2017, I purchased my first pvc rainmac. A gorgeous shiny black pvc wraparound mac from a company called MisFitz.

It was just so wonderful wearing it. I loved how shiny it was. The creaking sound it makes, and the feel of it as i touch it. Most of all I loved how I looked in it. If I wasn't already hooked on shiny rainwear, I definitely was after wearing this gorgeous mac 

I had a Tgirl friend on Flickr, who also enjoyed wearing shiny rainwear,  Veronica Page. I always enjoyed seeing her showing off her collection of rainwear. And then by coincidence, we both moved to Cornwall within six months of each other. We live 17 miles away from each other. So I was kindly invited to visit her and her supportive wife.

It was wonderful to be able to wear my black pvc rainmac with Veronica wearing a similar mac. On a subsequent visit, Veronica allowed me to try on a couple of her rubber rainmacs.

SBR (shiny black rubber) rainmacs are very different from pvc macs. They are heavier and have a strong aroma of rubber. They don't creak and squeak as much as pvc, but make a flapping kind of sound. Of course they are gorgeously shiny. And very exciting to wear.  

On a subsequent visit to Veronica, she gifted me one of her black rubber macs, and I love to wear it. 

I now have two pvc macs, one in black, and a short one in red. Both wonderfully sexy and shiny. I also have my black rubber mac. I also have a couple of ordinary plastic raincoats which are rather lovely. 

So here are a few photos of myself and my friend Veronica, enjoying ourselves by wearing lovely shiny rainwear.
