Summer is usually a slow time in the latex business. The shop is quiet, other than the odd person stopping in to take advantage of the air conditioner, or to stroke the cats. But I’ve been keeping busy!
Some Baroness fashions appeared this week at “VIVISECTION” An intimate goth/industrial party at—of all places—Laugh Lounge! I couldn’t resist! The show combined classic elegant latex with bizarre rubber accessories and hot models!
I’ve also just come back from upstate New York, where I was filmed for an avant-garde Swedish TV feature. I played myself (an expert on BDSM) educating the actors of August Strindbergs’ play, Miss Julie, with the goal of changing the ending so the lead will not commit suicide. It was really interesting, and I’m eager to see the final product.
We were contacted to help with Macs’ Viva Glam campaign, for which we created custom garments for Ricky Martin & Nikki Minaj!
For Nikki Minaj we made white latex skirts, tops, and gowns with appliquéd red lips. They also pulled an assortment of other latex. I’m really looking forward to seeing the results.
Another stylist pulled for RuPaul and crew for both the show and some public appearances! I love dressing divas!
