Corsets And Whisky

Last week I went to the re-opening party of the studio of corset maker Viola Lahger and seamstress O.L.D - Obviously Linda Design, who has moved in together in the same shop. Mrs Murphy also joined us to hold her popular lecture Mrs Murphy to the Rescue.

Here we are! From the left: me, Linda of O.L.D, Mrs Murphy, Karin of Viola Lahger, and Agent Star. As both me and Agent Star work for Mrs M as two of her five Special Agents of Fabulousness, we both wore our work uniforms - red Monica dresses from Pinup Girl Clothing. Over the dresses we're wearing corsets by Viola Lahger, who is Sweden's only high class corset maker. She has studied corsets through times thoroughly, and since I have tried on quite a few corsets over the years, I can tell you these are extremely well made, and very comfortable! If you want a personally made corset that will fit your body perfectly, this is the place to go!

Here's another one of Karin's beautiful corsets!

Linda of O.L.D designs and sews clothes after each customers preferences. She has worked for quite a few celebrities, but anyone can hire her to get that one of a kind piece of clothing you've always wanted. Above you see one of her vintage-inspired bikinis. Linda is also known as the "Vintage Doctor", which means she also mends and re-sew vintage clothes that might be broken or too big for you, which often is the case with old clothes...

Here is me and Mrs Murphy in the middle of the very feminine shop! I love just walking into this place. Makes me feel like home. Haha!

The event was sponsored by Jura Whisky and Tomtebageriet, so the guests were offered coffee with a bit of whiskey in it and a choice of seven different, old fashioned little cookies.

It was a very cozy evening, and I ended up buying a pair of tiki skull-earrings from O.L.D!

If you're interested in having a corset made by Viola Lahger, you can contact her here! And the contact information for Linda at O.L.D you find here!

Mrs Murphy's Woman Power Bootcamp!

As you all know, I've been working for Mrs Murphy for some time now, as her pr-assistant/event coordinator. And THIS is what we've been working on - Mrs Murphy's Woman Power Bootcamp! Mrs Murphy has three different workshops: Mrs Murphy to the Rescue...!, Mrs Murphy's Shool of High Heels, and Put on you FAB FACE honey - time to SHINE like that star you are, all with the goal of making women feel good about being women! There is so much talk about feminism these days, so now we want to focus on the feminine in feminism - something people don't talk about that much. Putting on red lipstick and a pair of high heels doesn't make you inferior to men - as long as you do it for yourself, and find your own inner woman power!

So what we have done now is we have created a weekend where you can come to Stockholm and experience all three of Mrs M's workshops!

As the event will take place in Stockholm a lot of the text on the poster is in Swedish, but that's because this time we focus on the Swedish ladies. We plan to do this in other countries later on too though...

The weekend takes place 22 - 24 May, and the participants will sleep at the beautiful Hotel Kungsträdgården that just opened in the center of Stockholm. When visiting the hotel both me and Mrs M wanted to move in. It's very elegant - with a crystal chandelier in each room! Here we will drink champagne, eat breakfast and lunch, and listen to Mrs M's wise words.

Mrs Murphy's School of High Heels will take place at another location than the hotel, but under the care of me and two other of Mrs M's Special Agents of Fabulousness we will take care that you get there and back comfortably.

For more info (in Swedish) go here! This is also where you can buy your tickets to this luxurious event! Looking forward to meeting some lovely ladies there!

Sponsors of the event are: Björn Axén, Deichmann, Makiash, Pinup Girl Clothing, Daisy Dapper, Viola Lahger, O.L.D, Nosh and Chow, and Hotel Kungsträdgården. So you don't want to miss that goodiebag! Haha!

Best Secret...

This Monday I told you I had been sent on a mission by my boss - Mrs Murphy. The mission was to go to an event for the opening of Best Secret. Best Secret is an online "by invitation only" shopping community. Unlike other shopping clubs you can't register for a membership directly by visiting the site. The only way to get in, is to get a recommendation from someone who is already a member... Once you're in though, you will find thousands of articles - clothes, shoes accessories, etc - at a great discount.

 

With me at the event I had fellow Special Agent of Fabulousness Miss Perfect Venturia. As pretty much all the other guests wore black/white/grey, we really stood out in our red Monica dresses from Pinup Girl Clothing.

While drinking bubbles we walked around a bit, and found a secret room that showcased some of the items for sale at the Best Secret website.

Then the opening ceremony started with a q and a by a panel put together of blogger Michaela Forni, designer Frida Ahlvarsson, Elin Frendberg, CEO at Swedish Fashion Council, and Nicholas Högberg, CEO att Tre - all lead by Ola Ahlvarsson.

After that more bubbles were drunk and we mingled for a while, taking pictures of ourselves. Haha!

All in all we had a good evening, listening to interesting people and talking to a few more. Mission accomplished!

Awesome Rags

Last Thursday me and Fanny were invited to the opening of a new clothing store in Stockholm - "Awsome Rags".

The red carpet was in place, and all the guests were given a red rose when arriving.

Bubbles, beer, and mini-cupcakes were served...

...To the tunes of jazz!

The two-floored store contains several different clothing brands. Here are a few of them: 

"Ida Sjöstedt". Look at the bow-buttons!!!

"Nicolaj d'Etoiles". Liked this one...

"Ida Lanto". It's a bit difficult to see in the pic, but there are chains hanging down the back of this gown!

Fanny tried on a bear mask...

...But this is how lovely she looked without the mask!

A very blurry picture of the both of us. But the cool thing was that I didn't noticed it said "You Look AWESOME" on the mirror, until I saw it in the photo!

Now and then during the evening, burlesque performances took place here and there in the store. First out was Fräulein Frauke, who did her cupcake number.

She looked so sweet I wanted to eat her up... 

...But I decided to go for one of the lesser substitutes instead...And, yes, that's a huge cherry she has on her head!

She ended her number by sticking a pin into a big balloon, held over her head, from which a cascade of confetti flew out! Look how well I managed to capture the movement in her arm! That's exactly what I was going for in this pic...kind of...Tonight she'll show something completely different at "Fräulein Frauke Presents: Duty Calls"! I know what it is, but I ain't gonna kiss'n tell!...Not that I'll be able to see it anyway, since I have to work!!!!! But I might do a post on it later anyway, by "borrowing" some of the photos I know her husband John Paul Bichard will snap during the night!

Fräulein Frauke after her performance! I made sure to give her a really good hug, so some of the glitter she had on her skin rubbed off on me too!

We didn't stick around long enough to see all the performers. But we did have time to see Ruby Lu Scious...

...and Ivoncita...

...Before we headed over to T. G. I. Friday for some of their delicious drinks.

On our way home, we marveled at all the Christmas lights Stockholm has been decorated with! Here are some shining trees and reindeers at the Sergel fountain. Pretty...
