I recently had the pleasure of meeting pin-up graphic artist, Amano Jyaku, at Emerald City Comic Con, and he was an absolute peach. Jyaku’s art manages to be beautiful, fun, and funny all at the same time.
If you want to see more of Amano’s work, check out his blog (where the most recent post is all about redheads!) or his gallery. You can also follow Amano Jyaku on Twitter. And tell him Treacle sent you. ;)
Considered the “Ansel Adams” of fetish photography, Steve Diet Goedde has more than earned his world-famous reputation. Like Viva Van Story, Goedde was one of the few photographers I knew about before I even started this blog, and it’s almost criminal that I’m just now featuring him.
I’d be delighted to know your favorite photo from the very, very limited selection out of his portfolio below.
Yesterday, The Boyfriend and I went out on a “real” date and attended the 8th annual Seattle Erotic Arts Festival, held in the Seattle Center. Events like SEAF are not only a great place to see and be seen, they’re also an excellent excuse for dressing up.
I had the chance to pull out my custom Totally Waisted corset (which I haven’t worn since September–last seen in my Dragon*Con post here) and paired it with an Alexander McQueen for Target skirt and La Perla stockings.
Unfortunately, photography wasn’t allowed at the event, but you can find dozens of photos from the spectacle (including an amazing burlesque show…which featured my instructors Inga Ingenue and The Shanghai Pearl) right here on Facebook (probably NSFW).
Hope everyone had a nice weekend, and come back tomorrow for a very special article on “How to Buy Lingerie for Mother’s Day.”
Good morning, everyone! I know that Monday’s are the hardest day of the week, so hopefully this post will make your day just a little sexier. Today’s question comes from longtime reader Krystal, who asks the following:
“My name is Krystal. I love you blog, I check it every day. Well I have come across quite a few bras that have caught my eye lately, but they all seem to be out of my price range right now. I just can’t reasonably purchase a bra with a price tag of $130 or more right now.
I was wondering with all of you knowledge of the lingerie world do you know any place that would have bras with a better price tag? I’m looking for either a quarter cup bra or a cupless bra. I just love the look with some pasties. I’ve provided some links to some of the bras I’ve found so far.”
Two of the links Krystal included were of the Agent Provocateur bras pictured below. While I agree that they are very, very hot, they’re also very, very pricey at $150 and $160, respectively.
Here are the budget-friendly alternatives I was able to find for Krystal, and they all cost less than half the price of either Agent Provocateur bra. There’s an option here for everyone from the lithe to the voluptuous!
Then we saw it on celebrities…
And now retailers are picking up on the trend…
Regardless, best to get these “kinks” out of my system now, before the Christmas shopping posts start on Dec. 1st! ;-)
