Coffee, buttons and bows!

This blogger got a real up close look at our photo shoot this year.  Yes, I was in the middle of it all. It was an amazing experience! From the view of the beautiful city of Los Angeles from Griffith Observatory to the inside of Ken Marcus's studio. Let me take you behind the scenes with me on our trip and of course, the photo shoot!

We had a early start on photo shoot day. We had to make sure there was enough time to grab coffee before heading to Ken's. Coffee is essential. As soon as we reached the studio, we had a bit of time to say hellos before it was time to get going. There was a clothing rack to set up, dresses to hang up and a whole dressing room to organize for an all-day shoot.

The Rachel really stood out on the rack. The style was something really different. Maybe it was the translucent latex? It was a crowd favorite! And it was one of the easier dresses to get on. Just remember to unfasten that button tab in the back. And the zipper down the back? It makes all the difference, I promise you.

Want to know a trick I picked up from our dresser Kimberly while helping dress Emily and Sophie? The more dressing aid you apply to translucent latex, the more see-through it will appear! So lay it on thick! Also, be mindful of those fingernails. Use soft fingertips and be really careful! A hole in a latex garment would be a disaster!

Creativity was the key this time around. We wanted to switch up hairdos every couple dresses. And we needed to keep the hair up to keep it out of the dressing aid. You may have guessed that it's not a good hair styling product. We all put our heads together and tried lots of different styles. Some flops and some not. Thank goodness we remember to pack those little latex flower hair accessories!

Here's one now in Sophie's hair! We got lucky that it matched up perfectly with the dress. This is the Charlotte! I call it a girly version of the mohawk. All business in the front and a party in the back! That cute bow in the back does need to be adjusted once you slip this dress on. Make sure the middle part is centered so the bow effect comes across.

This little dress looks basic but it's much more! The bow in the back and the low cut neckline give this dress so much more. It's a tight squeeze going on but once it's on? It fits and hugs every one of your beautiful curves. It was exciting to see this one in person!

I have more to share! Come back next week for more behind the scenes. Until then, have a great weekend! And if you are on the east coast, stay safe as winter storm Pax passes through. Remember, warm weather is just around the corner!

It's about time for something new!

We hear it's getting downright arctic out there for some of you. Is winter getting to be a bit much? Are you already dreaming of shorts, sand and bright colors? We know, us too! Well, we may have a little something that will brighten up your drab winter day.

You've heard about it and now it's almost time! Next week, we will be releasing our new collection of dresses. Get excited! There are going to be tons of new dresses to choose from! And we hope a few might fit into your spring and summer latex must haves!

With new designs comes new colors too! We'll have jade green, pearlsheen fuchsia and semi transparent blue among other things. These colors are just beautiful! It's time to spice up your latex collection!

Now, don't you feel better? Stay tuned to our facebook, twitter and of course, the blog for updates!
