Too Many Tights!

Sneak Peek...

A little sneak peek at what is to come...

What think you?

I wanted to call them Cowgirl Tights, which was met with universal scorn. So I'll call them Fringes. :)

p.s. Has anyone got the latest Frankie? I haven't seen it yet...

IMPORTANT STUFF!

Hello Leg Lovers

Okay lots of important things which you should know if you want your legs to look fantastic for the rest of the year (I'm assuming that's most of you...)

1. I am going to have a proper release schedule!

In the past I have just randomly posted stuff. I don't think that's the best way to go about it. So I'm changing. From now on I will be releasing new products monthly - so you can expect a new style on the first of each month, every month. I will probably look at doing releases half way through the month as well depending on how much I've got going on. :) 

2. Every product will be a limited release.

I have so many designs and ideas that I don't want to be sitting around waiting for orders to come in and dragging them out for months - so every new release will be a limited run. That means that when they sell out, they're gone, and I move on to working on next months idea. However, if I get enough girls threatening to hurl themselves in front of moving objects if I don't sell them a certain product, I'll look at doing a re-release (yes, that means Spidermans and Black Spartans!). But, of course, the re-releases will themselves be limited.

And now on to some sweet pics:

These will not be available for much longer... the first of the month approaches!

Didn't Your Mama Tell You That You Need Your Liquids?

Another pic of the uber-hot liquids. 

This gives you an idea of how they look from the side:

I'm not sure how long I'll be doing these. Should you feel so inclined you can buy them here.

Black Milk New Release! - Liquids -

Okay.. I'm finishing off the last of the Black Spartans, so I thought it would be a good time to release a hot new product.

I thought this was a good choice because all of you guys who missed out on the Black Spartans can get yourself a sweet Black Milk garment with a PVC panel.

And here they are... I call them LIQUIDS.

I love these.... and here's why.

The effect is like latex. Of course the problem with latex is that you are basically overlaying rubber onto your skin, which makes it extremely uncomfortable (hot, sweaty, itchy, etc.)

So how could you get a latex effect without using latex? Listen carefully, my fashion loving friends, this is how you do it. You blend a beautiful wet look nylon with a bold PVC panel. Bingo.

PVC doesn't stretch very well, but nylon does, so you are able to fit the PVC to the legs without the discomfort, the itchiness, or the bunching at the ankles, knees and crotch. You know the 'cat whisker crotch' effect? Not with these suckers.

Okay, that's enough blowing of my own trumpet for one day. So if you missed out on the Black Spartans, these should more than make up for it. :)

They're $80, and you can buy them now here.

 

Just so you know, this is not a limited release. I'll make them until I get sick of making them. :)

Plenty more releases to come...

Trashy Playground Chic (With Dolphins!!!)

So much happening at the moment. I had a record sewing day yesterday, whew!

First up... be my Facebook friend, or I'l be very hurt.

Okay, some more pics for you. I know you're going to love these:

 

It's a look I'm going for called Trashy/dirty/rockin'/playground Chic. Looks really good when you're sitting on a plastic dolphin (quod erat demonstrandum).

And a couple of really nice pics of the gold Cages. Available here.

Hotness.

Working on some sweet new concepts as well. So many lady legs, so little time...

Check out these crazy tie dye styles from Shibori Love. 

I tried doing tie dye once - failed miserably, so major respect to those who can...

CELEBRATION!!!

I'm very happy... Black Spartans are officially in production! (There goes my weekend...)

To celebrate I want to give you a little gift - Lace Ups pic!!!

How Rock 'n' Roll is this look?!

Model is the beautiful Sophee, photographer the (equally beautiful) Tanya.

Beauty + Attitude

Probably my fave photo of the beautiful Sophee (except for the Lace Up pics - which I'm not showing you just yet!) Click it, sucker.

Yes, you can still buy Cages here.

Okay, quick note for all those who got the Black Spartans, I've got all your details, and you shouldn't have to wait long, I'll send out an email when yours ships.

I have never ever ever done so many tests on a product in my life. Seriously. If you could see how many of these things I have done to test the pattern... you'd freak. I did. Just piles and piles. 

The challenge is to blend two fabrics with very different stretches and to walk the delicate line between too tight and too loose. It doesn't help that you have to blend a triangle shaped pattern into the leg.

Why do I feel the need to make stuff that is really difficult? And - more importantly - why the hell do all you guys always decide to buy the most challenging things to make!?

Shouldn't complain. You guys are awesome.

jL

p.s. Discussing some very exciting ideas with a friend tomorrow... if it works out, you guys are going to love it. My lips are sealed. :)

p.p.s Any more pics, girls?

Sold Out :(

First of all, the Black Spartans are officially sold out. Sorry to all those who missed out. I will be sewing them for those who did get in early and then I will be releasing the Lace Ups.

I may release the Black Spartans again in the future.

How cool is this?

From Russ & Reyn.

And I found this pic. The stylist here really should have spent more time on Kingdom of Style, then she would have known that this is not the way you do it...

Via Wends blog...

Don't get me wrong - I'm down with the 80s - hell yeah. But this is just not working for me. As evidence that I'm down with the 80s, this is what I have been listening to today:

And found this lovely pic courtesy of Fashion Victim:

Who would have thought re-growth could look so damn hot?!

Out.
