An oldie... I guess it's now "vintage" found on ebay, Exquisite Restraint, baby!

Actually, it’s not my corset, but their corset… and for the life of me, I can’t remember who got this one. I can tell you it’s an OLDIE!! I may have sold it locally, here in Los Angeles, or I may have given it to a model. Now it’s a mystery that I gotta dig into. I’m not bummed that the person is selling it. Far from… the person has to make money.

But the corset looks so forlorn there.. all upside down (yep! photographed upside down) and labeled “34″ when it’s a 22 inch waist.

Anyone wanna get this for me to put in the archives and Corset Museum for 10 Years of Exquisite Restraint in 2011? Because I’m pretty sure I made this one about 8 years ago! I will dig in the archives because I know I have photos of it from way back when.

Talk about romance, sharing and caring! These two mix art, sex and love. April is voluptuous, curvy, confident, happy and the muse to Carlos. You can find her at www.fattyd.com . Carlos is “bad-brained,” DIY photographer who moves in the art, fetish, rock and punk crowds.
Check him at www.carlosbatts.com

Before I met these superstars I actually went to the gallery show and release for one of Carlos’ books, “Crazy Sexy Hollywood,” probably in 2003. I was just dipping my feet into the world of fetish …hmmm… do I belong here? Should I have nudity on my site? Silly questions like that. I didn’t know what to think of Carlos’ pics and I was a bit intimidated. Wow, that seems like decades ago!
Fast forward months later. Carlos and April show up at a gallery show put on by Mitzi & Co., where I have models showing off my wares. Carlos and April come right up to me and tell me they love my work and want to work with me!

These two lovely humans live in my hood. I most often see them at the grocery store. I usually end up talking about comic books with Carlos more than taking pictures. Life is good.

April can be found in my Catalogue, and here’s a hot pic of her. Show them both some love and look forward to more collaborations with them!
