Frequently Asked Questions

Just what is a "rubber doll"?: If you are new to rubber dolling, click here to read a quick primer on the rubber doll fetish written by our Programming Director, Steffy the Rubber Doll!

How often is this event held?: This is the very first time! There has never been an event before just for enthusiasts of rubber doll transformation. We are hoping for a good turnout of like-minded people to make this a success.

Why Minneapolis?: Minneapolis is centrally located for people in the US and has an international airport for those people flying in from other countries. The city is known for being fetish tolerant as well.

How private will this event be? Will there be people from the press there? What about other hotel guests?: We are doing our best to make this a discrete event for the people attending. We will have our own floor of the hotel and the event areas will be off limits for people who are not registered for the event. There will be NO PRESS PEOPLE invited to this event. If any do show up because they heard about it, they will not be permitted inside unless they register and abide by all rules, including the PHOTOGRAPHY RULES. Do keep in mind that there will be other guests in the hotel and that occasionally traveling through public areas cannot be avoided. Keep this in mind and if your costume warrants it, a robe is recommended!

Is there a cheaper hotel that I can stay at and still attend this event?: There are always cheaper hotels around. But the contract with the hotel also requires that a certain number of rooms be sold in order to cover the costs of the event rooms that are being supplied, if this number is not met, then the event will be charged extra money to cover the costs, thus jeopardizing any future event. And if you plan to attend this event, you will need to abide by the dress code... do you really want to travel back and forth in a taxi in costume to change? And changing in public restrooms will draw the attention of the event coordinators as well as hotel security. This is a classy hotel, who would not want to stay here? People who live within 20 miles of the hotel (i.e. locals) do not HAVE to stay at the host hotel, but it is greatly encouraged for convenience and to help us meet our contract with the hotel.

What about meals?: The dolls will be on their own for meals, so plan on either room service or getting together with some of the other dolls to eat down in the hotel restaurant or an offsite locale. The hotel restaurant is outside of the official rendezvous area, so the dress code is optional.

Will the dress code be enforced for the entire event and in all areas? Do I need to be a doll while attending panels and visiting the dealer room as well?: Yes. The code will be in force in the conference area and all official excursions. There will be an area in the vendor room during the day and at the dances for people to remove masks or hoods for a quick "breather" when needed.

I still need to budget my money to attend, is there any way to find somebody willing to share a room for this event?: We have set up a Yahoo group specifically for people who want to attend to discuss plans and ideas, including room, and or ride sharing. Just click here to join.

Can dolls pose for pictures in public areas of the hotel, such as around the pool?: The hotel is being very tolerant of this event and has no restrictions on where attendees can pose as long as their costume meets local decency laws.

Does the hotel have wireless internet?: Yes. You can call (952) 854-3400 to check out all the hotel's amenities and book your room. Use our event code "RWR2010" or Rubber Doll World Rendezvous!

I so much want to become a part of this fetish and would love to meet people who can help me. Is there some exception to the dress code that allows me to attend and learn how to become a doll?: Some minimal effort to meet the dress code is required. Dolls will be attending who have hundreds and in some cases thousands of dollars in their outfits. This is not an event for the completely uninitiated. However, we accept that there will be the inevitable attempt to skirt the code in some manner and/or will have new dolls who don't have their first mask yet, so if an attendee who clearly intends to buy their first mask and has made SOME attempt to meet the rest of the dress code, we will make an arrangement.

Can I buy what I need to become a doll at the event?: Although we cannot guarantee the availability of anything in the vendors' area, we are trying to enroll vendors who can fulfill your fantasies. Keep checking the vendor page to see who is coming and perhaps contact them directly if you have something in mind.

I see that the dress code requires head to toe latex, PVC, leather or spandex. What about over that? Can I wear a spandex zentai suit with a sissy dress over it and still be a doll?: Yes, that is fine.

Will the dress code be enforced for the entire event and in all areas? Do I need to be a doll while attending panels and visiting the dealer room as well?: Yes. The code will be in force in the conference area and all official excursions unless otherwise stated by the Producer.

How will attendees be identified? Will I wear a badge with my name prominently displayed on it?: Badges will be on lanyards and will have the name you put down on your registration form.

I will turn 18 in May, is that close enough?: NO! You must be 18 or older on the day that you register for the event, and proof of age will be required. This is an event for adults and there are laws regarding the age of attendees and we have no intention of breaking them. ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS!

How do I prove that I am over 18?: A government issued Identification with photo will be accepted as proof of age. Driver's licenses, passports, military IDs are all acceptable. If you have any questions about what you have for ID, contact us and we will be glad to answer for you.

I am a rubber doll, but my "significant other" is not, can he/she come also?: Yes, but the total enclosure dress code must be followed. The Rendezvous is a chance to escape into your desires and bring your partners into them with you. If you're on a budget, you can get them a spandex zentai body suit for a little under $100 from spandexwear.com. However, exceptions will be made in cases of medical necessity or strong personal reasons, subject to the Producer's approval.

I am a girl who is a rubber doll and my "significant other" wants to come. He is not really into being a girl doll, but he does enjoy rubber. Does he have to be a girl doll?: No, but he does have to meet the dress code as best is possible unless there are extenuating medical or personal reasons.
