Rollacoaster magazine (brought to us by the same team that produce Wonderland) is rather exclusive: only available at Selfridges and London Fashion Week. There will be an IPad version soon though so everyone will be able to have access to it. Their second edition's cover star is the Jessie J who, in the UK, is looking at being the girl you can't get away from in 2011 - but as her music is great that's no hardship! You can tell she's hit the big time as she's been pictured in our Padded Bullet Bra, joining other celebs including Mossy, Rihanna, Gwyneth, Posh et al.

The Mail on Sunday's You magazine did a really cute feature on Miss Polly Rae and her Hurly Burly Girlys last Sunday (you might recognise the corset far left!) It has to be said the the mainstream press are not usually the most supportive of burlesque so it's really refreshing to see
such a nice article (but then again, Miss Polly Rae is so talented they really couldn't say anything else. Her new show opens on 3rd March at London's Garrick theatre. Tickets can be booked here.

Do you remember the pop band Bewitched? Well they're back with a new name (Barbarellas) and a daring new look. They were on Louis Spence's Showbiz programme last week which showed the filming of their new video. Here they are in our Glamour Merry Widow and Glamour Corselette. Good luck girls!

Us WKD girlies shared the love and towed our lucky boyfriends along to the Dr. Sketchy’s Valentine’s Special last week. Not content with treating our boyfriends to just us in our sexy WKD undies we also teased them with the scantily clad Sketchy Models, who included our very own Slinky Sparkles! As us girls do not like to be left out (Especially as it was Valentine’s Day!) we were delighted with the eye candy on offer for ourselves in the form of a rather dishy male model.

We've had lots of great feedback about our interview with Bernie Dexter a couple of weeks ago. In it she tells us about Bernie Dexter clothing, her own range of 1950s rockabilly inspired dresses. She's just got back from Magic trade show in Las Vegas and I couldn't resist finding out how it went.ss="MsoNormal">Magic Fashion Trade show was so much fun once you get there! heheee It was a long haul on my own. Pushing 2 HUGE Samsonite cases to have one handle break! It tells me i am stronger then a gorilla! hehee  It was great to see the vendors I met last summer and some really cute new ones too!  Much like high school it never goes without a bit of drama from at least one vendor but over all it was quite civil this time.

I was on a wonderful retro packed row. Classic Hardware even gave me some fabulous retrolite jewels to wear with my collection. I got to debut my first professional sign made. " Bernie Dexter Clothing Celebrating the Female Form" It is a gold glittery sign custom made for my by Brown Magic Paint Co. by El Chucky  It got a lot of people to stop and take a look!  Brown Magic Paint Co. by El Chucky  also painted the Suitcase I used on the front cover of my look book.

And it was so nice to have customers come to my booth and say " Wow your stuff looks so authentic!"  And " wow your prints are so beautiful" I think customers are enjoying a fresh new point of view on reproduction. This is just what i was hoping for so I am so pleased!!

I think the neatest thing is having customers from all over the world! One girl came all the way from Israel!!! Yes there are pin ups and Rockabilly girls in Israel! How coooool is that!

Here are a few pix of my booth and my customers!

Our new SS11 collection will be launched on 1st March. The main lingerie line, Vicky, was modelled by Bernie Dexter who must be one of the most famous retro pin ups on the planet at the moment! We were lucky enough to shoot at boutique hotel 40 Winks in London and afterwards we sat down with London pin up and vintage girl about town Fleur de Guerre who interrogated Bernie (in the nicest way) to find out how she developed her pin up career and what she has in store for us next. The full interview can be found here.
