Good Cop / Bad Cop

One of my favorite memories is when a friend of mine came to join me at the International Mr. Leather Contest Leather Market. She hadn't had too much exposure in the kink scene, especially not with the leatherman culture. She joined me three stories underground in the Hyatt Hotel in Chicago, and was impressed by how many friendly cops were hanging around. Then she took a closer look and noticed these officers of the law were actually in latex chaps and cop shirts, or skin tight leather cop uniforms. Oh yes my friend, these are fantasy cops. And VERY friendly. Wink wink....

I'll put it out there that I've had a couple of friends who are cops. Good cops. And I love the TV cops on CSI and the like. I'm not anti-cop. But I am rebellious, and I do enjoy the anti-authoritarian feel of pretending to be an officer of the law. A Bad Cop. I love all the fetish cops at IML, and the sexy slutty women's cop outfits with their perky cheeks peeking from under their mini skirts. And then there's Angie Dickinson as Police Woman...

The whole idea of playing with the Bad Cop is so loaded. No one wants to be caught for real on a dark night in the middle of the highway with a corrupt cop. They have guns and billy clubs. They can forever mess with your record. But take that whole dynamic into fantasyland and POW! Arenaline!

IML is coming up at the end of this month and sadly I will miss it this year, but my heart will be with all the fetish cops out there strutting their stuff. The Stockroom is bringing a brand new latex cop shirt to the event. (They will be offered on the website soon. I'll let you know!) Yummy! I can hardly wait until they make one in my size.
