What Katie Did Lulu Bullet Bras in new Kelly Brook Campaign

I met Kelly Brook years ago when I was working at Skin Two: she did a shoot for the magazine. All I remember was that she was clad head to toe in Vivienne Westwood and that I was very jealous! It has to be said that Kelly's curves were made for rubber clothing and when I saw her in a House of Harlot gown for her latest campaign I wasn't too upset that we'd missed out - her contract with New Look prevented her from wearing any other brand of lingerie, so no What Katie Did on Kelly this time around. However, we did manage to get two of our Lulu Bullet Bras on her assistants.

Sabina Kelley wears What Katie Did's Cabaret Torsolette for Dynamite Magazine

Although we try to keep track of our press, sometimes an appearance comes as a complete surprise so we're thrilled to see Sabina Kelley on the cover of Germany's Dynamite magazine in our Cabaret Torsolette. This isn't the first time Sabina has worn our lingerie (check her our in our VLV11 fashion show).

Our Cabaret Torsolette is a strapless bodyshaper made from sheer organza and powermesh. Its' light weight makes it ideal for wearing in the warmer months, but rest assured it will smooth out those lumps and bumps. Like all our shapewear it contains spiral steel boning don't bend out of shape like plastic boning can.

Besame Cosmetics' New Violet Brightening Powder

Can you believe it's been nearly a year since Besame Cosmetics launched their last product? Their Cream Rouge immediately zoomed to the top of our Besame Best Seller list where it has stayed ever since!

Unlike other small cosmetics brands, Besame manufacture their products from scratch. This means months in the lab followed by tricky packaging design. No one said perfection was easy!
Besame refuse to compromise on ingredients and we're delighted to learn about the launch of their new Violet Brightening Powder which will be arriving early July. The powder is ideal for brightening up light to medium complexions: the term 'brightening' is a big buzz on the beauty scene at the moment!

What Katie Did's Bullet Bra in the Evening Standard

London's Evening Standard published a feature yesterday about the trend for erotic literature, which was started by the self published book '50 Shades of Grey'. The feature was accompanied by a Tony Nylons picture featuring our Maitresse Bullet Bra and Fully Fashioned Stockings.

Rankin shoots What Katie Did Vintage Lingerie

Rankin is one of our favourite photographers so we're thrilled to have him shoot What Katie Did for his new magazine 'The Hunger'. Helena Christensen shows just a hint of suspender straps in a shoot called 'One of the Boys' (styled by Wayne Perry): we'd recommend our Maitresse Suspender Belt to get the same look.

If you're planning to visit our LA boutique, take a moment to visit Rankin's Gallery which is just 5 minutes walk from our store.

Marlene Von Steenvag in What Katie Did lingerie

It's the last day of London's World Burlesque Games and I have to say we were looking forward to a duvet day. However, Marlene Von Steenvag was over from Berlin to peform and we just couldn't resist shooting with her. A few hours after performing she arrived at Steve Hart's Slough studio looking far more awake than we did!

Marlene started hear career in Cabaret and and gradually slipped more and more towards burlesque adding her distinctive poetic and fairytale glamour. Today Marlene travels Europe peforming full time, she's a regular at Germany's only dedicated burlesque club, Queen Calavera (in Hamburg) and hosts her own event: Salon Kokett, in Berlin
