YNOT EUROPE – German native Kylie Marilyn was crowned Miss Rubber World 2012 during the anual New York Rubber Ball. Marilyn is the first woman from outside North America to earn the coveted title.

“For the first time, this award goes across the ocean and I’m proud to represent it in Europe,” said Marilyn, an international fetish model who has posed for photographers including Stefan Weeber and Peter W. Czernich. “Thank you so much to Brigitte More for an awesome dress. That was a huge factor in our win. Thank you so much to Chiyo Nakamura and all the awesome latex designers and labels who helped us.

“I hope to bring many kinksters and fetishists to New York next year for an even better show,” she added.

Marilyn’s duties as Miss Rubber World 2012 include promoting the rubber fetish community and acting as a representative of the community at events worldwide. In addition to the title, tiara and sash, she collected more than $8,000 worth of rubber merchandise and accessories from sponsors including The Baroness, Kink Engineering, Lady Oops, Dawnamatrix Designs, Lovely Latex, Anatomic Bomb and FetishMovies.com.

Marilyn’s victory was not easily won. Competing with her for the title were nine excellent rivals, including designers, models and Dominatrixes. Most, like Marilyn, had extensive connections in the fetish community and performed elaborate stage shows during the talent competition. Lydia Lael, first runner-up, won more than $4,000 in prizes. Third-place winner Sophia Larou took home more than $2,000 worth of latex swag.

One of Marylin’s first duties as the 2012 titleholder will be to represent the pageant and the rubber community at Fetish Evolution Weekend, set to take place April 6-8 in Germany.
