Obsession: Vintage Lingerie Addition

I'm one of those people who have a very addictive personality.  This can lead to bad things, but, in my case, my addiction has led to that of the vintage kind.  I am a collector of many things, but vintage lingerie is my passion.  The pure brilliance of the construction in each piece is rivaled by none. I recently found this piece by "Edith Lance" online and I instantly fell in love! The beautiful Black lace ruffles and inky Black velvet trim is stunning beyond words! What makes this bustier even better is the nude nylon lining with Gold Lurex threaded in it.  I mean, really, how could it get much better? 



Photos could NEVER do this bustier justice! What I love the most about vintage lingerie, bustiers in particular, are the over wires.  Any person who puts a TRUE vintage over wire bustier or bra on know is has trans-formative powers! My best advice is to get one of these babies and put one on when you're having a bad day, then you will see just how much it can instantly make you feel that you can take on the world!


How can anyone pass up something that is so soft and delicate, but also SEXY AS HELL?! So now, after I rest my case, I am about to receive another 1950's bustier beauty that I will add to my arsenal of vintage loveliness.  I will now go and stalk my mailbox, so I will now bid adieu :)

The Never Ending List of Collection Additions...

Here we are yet again with the latest addition to my Burlesque Costume Collection 😊 I can't help myself.. I really can't.... I could but I don't want to... Just LOOK at the detailing.... the faux Pearls, Silver sequins, Lurex, Sea Beads! I really believe that these are pieces of art especially because they're handmade!  You can really tell when something is extravagantly made when the sheer weight of it makes you go "Uffda!". I will never get over the pure beauty of these pieces because they really show you the personality of the artist wearing them. The 1960's really brought the "A" game when it came to burlesque attire. 1960's set includes arm bands, belt & bra via TiffLittleFingers on Etsy The waterfalls of beading on the bra really get me going! I often wonder how many backbreaking hours it took to make this whole piece. The dedication & vision is truly amazing! I normally don't make many fashio

The One Phrase That Makes Me Cringe & How We Can Change It...

"I love vintage clothing, but I don't know when I'd wear it" Whenever someone makes that comment to me, my heart breaks a little.  The answer is that you can ALWAYS find a time & place to wear vintage!  The key is to have CONFIDENCE when you wear something outside of your comfort zone! Even if you're not confident, FAKE IT! Pretend you're playing a role until that confidence becomes the truth! I grew up wearing things, not necessarily vintage, that always caused people to talk, sneer or poke fun at me.  That's was people do when they don't understand you or, let's face it, life in general. Well guess what? That's NOT your problem! If they don't like it, great! They don't have to wear it! That leaves more amazing clothing for you!

Savor the Different...

One goal I had when starting my business was to make it very clear that I only showcase things that inspire something in others. Whether it be a mask, glove, bustier, I want a customer or client to feel SOMETHING when seeing a piece I have for rent or sale. If you love an item, hate it, so be it, just don’t be indifferent. One thing I've learned is that to be indifferent to fashion is one of the saddest ways to live. Like Bill Cunningham stated above, "Fashion is the armor to survive the reality of everyday life". The clothes I wear, the eyeliner I carefully draw on, the way I style my hair, all of it is to prepare myself for what lies ahead. This may sound shallow or vain, but I do see it as a shield. If fashion armor for you means an audacious Red Maribou Feather coat or your favorite concert hoodie, then by ALL MEANS wear it with intent! Cover yourself in pieces that invoke a REACTION! Disgust, elation, intrigue, and more! I absolutely LIVE for those wh
