As you know, throughout 2015 I spent about 2 months traveling for business. You might recall my Thailand adventures video and my Texas adventures video, so here is a brief continuation of what happ…

Today I'm dreaming of my past whirlwind trip to California back in 2015. Did you miss it? See my (short) post about it above - I attended the Corsetry & Lingerie Symposium, interviewed Sidney Eileen and Puimond, visited various shops in Burbank like PUG and WKD (and briefly ducked into Agent Provocateur, but the customer service was keeping a close eye on us so we just decided to leave). And I touched the Pacific for the first time. :) I'd love to go back to Cali next year. Locals, what should I see or do while I'm there? (Apart from Disneyland, obvs)

Dita Von Teese - Puimond Corset

A collection of modelling images. Mostly from the Green Fairy shoot with Maniac & a couple of my fave #preraphaelite style images with Charles L Joseph Arps for Emotions in Vision. Next...I want to redo the Wintergirl Theme which was based on a poem I wrote...but after the shoot I did I wished I had done several because the theme could be interpreted in a number of ways. Plus - I have better lighting and a better handle on mixed media so I really wanted to do it again...covering the full range of interpretations. And all these shoots featured really crap "off the rack# #corsetry. #Corsets that didn't reduce my 24" natural waist...but rather made it bigger as they are so badly contoured. Usually made in India for various companies here. Please don't buy cheap - and make sure you get the dimensions and length of the corsets first. These may have looked ok in shoots but they were uncomfortable. And some were sold by UK designers as suitable for tightlacing/waist training. They really are not. Beware of people selling them on #etsy too. So the next images will be featuring better designs. Some really stunning one offs by (#Sparklewren), #Morgana Femme Couture, #Puimond, (#AtelierSylephe), #Serinde, #Valkyrie & #BoomBoomBaby - and clothes and accessories only by designers I would recommend...including some off the rack designs. Some truly magickal #Harajuku style pieces by #Radusport. But #victorian #lacecollars, skirts and blouses made to authentic #victorian patterns with quality fabrics from #Lorriange...and many unique accessories. I can't wait! Even my #pointeshoes are a better (#Grishko Novas) style! Even some real costume styles...I think using #ballet in shoots makes that more possible. I have some gorgeous pieces by #GothicBurlesque and #OpheliasFolly - some really unique made to order pieces especially for ballet themed shoots.

What News Australia’s Tightlacing Article Failed to Mention

A few days ago I was interviewed by a news station about the difference between waist training and tightlacing, what corsets do for me, and the overall ethos of the corset community.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, my words were spliced and used out of context. For anyone who is interested in knowing the FULL story, read my response on my blog here.

dancingalongthestars said: Is that an italian greyhound? :’D Yes! Two of them, in fact. The one sitting pretty with his ears up is Handsome, and the one in Puimond's lap is Dobby. :)
