TEXAS LATEX PARTY: February 2003
An album of photographs, business cards, and other ephemera from an early iteration of the famously exclusive Texas Latex Party (TLP), held annually in Houston. The images were captured at the 2003 event, held February 20-22 at the Adam's Mark hotel and resort. In the decades that followed, TLP has grown into an international, invite-only, applicant-vetted, four-day weekend of partying, socializing, and vending widely considered one of the world's leading fetish events.
Included within this album are 78 photographic images, shot digitally, along with a CD of "Digital Pics" housed in a plastic sleeve mounted to the inner front panel. 53 images are professionally printed on 4" x 5 7/8" glossy stock, while 24 images are printed two to a page on 8 1/2" x 11" inkjet paper. There is also a group photo by Frankovich, printed on 8 1/2" x 11" stock, which shows roughly 70 people. The images capture scenes of socializing, with most individuals in full latex, as well as what appears to be an outfit contest. There are also several shots of a lavish meal, which are preceded in the album by the printed Fetish Dinner Menu for February 21, and the Fetish Lunch Menu for February 22.
Other materials in the album include a detailed welcome letter, an attendee wristband-ticket, two postcard-size advertisements for The Baroness fetish retinue in New York, eight business cards, four hotel key cards, several nondescript Texas postcards, two pocket maps, a receipt from The Custom Shop in Houston, and ephemera from the Adam's Mark hotel.
The materials are housed in plastic sleeves within a black three-ring binder with the event title and the attendee's name (withheld) stamped in gold on the front panel. Additionally, there is an illustrated Texas Latex Party label housed within the label holder on the spine. All the materials within are squeaky clean. Item #80142
