I’m very sad and disappointed! I will miss my friends and new friends!

Have a good time, and there’s always next year.

You can also contact me when you get back, and recieve a nice 25% Discount on any new corset if you can answer a trivia question to prove you were in attendance at Exotica !!!!

Keep an eye out for the lovely Vena, one of the owners and hardworking organizers and stay tuned.

Stay Beautiful !

Lithium Picnic has been interview for The Real Detroit Weekly. The photo of Apnea has been cropped, and black tribal business added, but otherwise, there she is in all her loveliness!

Well, I don\’t, unfortunately.
But I have tons of new pics that I will be getting up in the Gallery soon.
It\’s been a great year, and I\’m so proud that some of the coolest photographers and models dig my corsets.

I\’ve got some new Apnea and Lithium Picnic….. more Christine Kessler……… my new friend, Cosmic Frog out of San Diego…..

Come to think of it, I made a lot of new friends this year!!
photographers Holly West, Shannon Brooke, Justice Howard…….
models Vena, Divinora, Angela Ryan, Jasmine Worth (who can read good and knows how to do other things! : ), Natalie Addams, Kim Falcon, Audra, Andi Pandi…….

I incorrectly captioned some pics that came from photographer Marla Rutherford, and fixed it. I hope to work with her some more in the future.

I think my corset was featured in a Halo Guitars ad by Shannon Brooke with Audra in a Marie Antoinette-styled setting.
And of course, there\’s that kick-ass Skin and Ink cover with Mandy Murders rocking my Old Skool Tattoo corset in a luscious pic by Christine Kessler.

Ok, I gotta get back to work on this pile of pictures!
Here’s Stoya, shot by Christine Kessler.

This is Apnea photographed by Lithium Picnic

My sincere apologies to Apnea and Lithium Picnic!

As a matter of fact, all photos in this section of “Limited Editions” are uncredited, as are some pictures of Darenzia in the “Gallery,” not credited to Emma Wilcox.
I will be fixing this as soon as possible.

Thank you to all the people who like my corsets enough to MAKE THEM LOOK GOOD! Thank you!

]]> http://www.exquisiterestraint.com/blog/2007/08/11/no-website-without-models-and-photographers/feed/ 0 How is your 2007 so far? http://www.exquisiterestraint.com/blog/2007/03/07/how-is-your-2007-so-far/ http://www.exquisiterestraint.com/blog/2007/03/07/how-is-your-2007-so-far/#comments Wed, 07 Mar 2007 13:30:14 +0000 admin This year is really shaping up in Corset World!

I\’ve been contacted by Chaz Royal to sponsor a prize for his International London Burlesque Festival, premiering May 9-12th, 2007. Produced by the Infamous Chaz Royal Aka \’The King of Burlesque\’. http://www.londonburlesquefestival.com
So all my lovely friends in the UK, watch out for this one!

Have some awesome photos arriving soon by that Gothic Beauty Model of the Year, Apnea, shot by……. yep, Lithium Picnic. Love my homies in H-Town!

Speaking of homies, check out Christine Kessler\’s prolific career and show her some love, www.christinekessler.com

I have a question for Vac-bed people: You know those big plastic bags you put clothes in and then vacuum the air out for travel and storage? Are the makers giving you guys a percentage for your brilliant idea? :)

I think Christine and I may be involved in a certain tattoo magazine collaboration soon, but I don\’t want to spoil the surprise. I will say that I get \”a perverse thrill\” knowing I get more exposure (so to speak) with that community than the fetish world that all my buddies populate…….. hey, I\’d like to show some \”skin, TOO,\” but I guess things happen in their own time, right?

Did I say skin….. too? Well, Tony Mitchell\’s highly anticipated site is up and running and he has written a very cool piece on my corsets and the people who make them look so good. The article is in my \”Lounge,\” but Go find it at www.thefetishistas.com , click on \”portfolios,\” then \”fashion,\”……. you should go through his whole site and enjoy yourself!

And finally, through tattoo connections, I had the pleasure of sending a corset to photographer Jeff Davidson of www.cosmicfrog.com and www.exposingbeauty.com . The lovely model in my \”Meaurements\” is Paige, courtesy of Jeff. *thanx!* Below is one of his awesome photos with Dominique.

This is all the news that\’s fit and unfit to print as of this minute……. I\’ll be keeping you up to date on more people in Corset World, because it\’s a great place.

And you thought it was all about whale bones!
