People with Purpose

“People with Purpose”: a Do-Good, Shopping, and Social Event

Wednesday, August 30, 6:00-8:00 PM

2nd Ave & 64th Thrift Shop (1222 2nd Ave)

My friend Purely Patricia has gathered together a talented band of creative New Yorkers (myself included) and curated and styled for auction seven mannequins to showcase both us and our works. Join me and other creative “People with Purpose”, sip champagne, and shop!

I want a huge swath of latex lovers to create a sensation and help raise money for Housing Works, while drinking champagne and shopping! You can place your final bids (online bidding opens August 17th here) on this exquisite collection of eclectic designer goods while rubbing elbows with the artists.

“Housing Works is a healing community of people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. Our mission is to end the dual crises of homelessness and AIDS through relentless advocacy, the provision of lifesaving services, and entrepreneurial businesses that sustain our efforts.”

More information about this event and getting involved, here.

Hanna Dunne in Baroness Latex for the Golden Globe Awards

Mozart in the Jungle star Hanna Dunne visited our shop in January for something to wear to the Golden Globe Awards (Mozart in the Jungle won the 2016 Golden Globe for Best Television Series -Comedy).

Here she is in our dressing room trying on our new China Doll dress in blue ice, with a black waist cincher worn over it.

She also bought a pair of our Baroness amethyst pedal pushers which she’s wearing here to put on her make-up.
For the Golden Globes gala, she ended up with a silver bodice corset, ruby knee-length skirt and cincher belt.  Here she is at the ceremony in full regalia with co-stars Jason Schwartzman and Lola Kirke:

The Breitling as Cardinal for TLP

This year for The Texas Latex party I was heavenly inspired! I had a vision of “Breitling as a Cardinal and he in return threw down the gauntlet to me, to be Mother Superior! Superior I am, so that was easily done and allowed me to be crafty with my rubber tubing yoke, beaded belt, and exceptionally tall headwear. It’s surprising just how many “confessions” we listened to that night!

The Maw Debuts at the Montreal Fetish Weekend

Update March 2015 with video interview.

For many in the fetish world The Montreal Fetish Weekend is the traditional end of summer, a 4 day event where attendees from all over the world take to the streets to flaunt and model their finest of fetish attire.

So it was there that I went, slave and assistant in tow (literally) to debut “The Maw”: over 40 yards of luscious black latex draped, tucked and manipulated, creating a combination art piece, social experiment and—for me personally—a bizarre rubber session of my dreams.

The dictionary defines the word Maw as “The mouth, throat, or gullet of an animal, especially a carnivorous mammal; a cavernous opening; a symbolic or theoretical center of a voracious hunger or appetite of any kind; the stomach, especially that of an animal.”

The name was more than appropriate, as for one month I was consumed by The Maw…toiling by day and dreaming of it by night. I have mulled over this bizarre rubber creation for some time, waiting the right stage for its debut.

Once we arrived at the hotel, the plan was to always be in the maw, attached and rubbery, as we let the mood of the beast flow through us. Much of the time was spent in the hotel documenting our process in videos and stills. testing its and our limits and enjoying the suite’s spacious bathroom (where we discovered, amongst over things, that three people in a maw can fit into a shower. However, it is impossible to move.)

The Maw had moods of its own. The first night we positioned ourselves in the hotel lobby, motionless and silent for 3 hours, watching the hotel guests’ reactions, which ranged from disbelief to studied cool. As we proceeded through the streets, photos were taken and questions asked and The Maw received applause and a standing ovation.

In the pool we spread out amongst the colorful balloons, floating like an oil slick on the Maw’s inflated bumps and curves. At the club we danced and encircled and consumed surprised guests in our rubbery clutches.

Since returning home a gallery has expressed interest in exhibiting The Maw, and we plan to take it for a stroll down 5th Avenue at rush hour, just to create a scene (and photos).
