Pride Pony

Hey there, The night I photographed my Candy Pink Pony Girl kit, I also made this very silly little movie. Exploring anima/animus in this way is very interesting. Being able to discard a human head space and indulge yourself in this kind of play is almost child-like.  If you can let yourself go right into it, […]

Introducing the Multi-Loop Busk

….exclusive to Green Fairy Corset’s Fairy Boss Mother line. There’s been little development in modern corseting apart from steel bones in preference to whale bone or reed/bamboo combinations.  There are experiments with different types of fabric, however, we always return to coutil if we want a sturdy garment that won’t stretch. There’s been the burgeoning […]
