Star De Cinéma

Sexy, glamorous, pin-up style clothing company Wheels & Dollbaby has released a new collection called Star De Cinéma. The sassy yet stylish, body-hugging clothes in this line evokes a feeling of the dangerously curvy Film Noir stars, from which designer Melanie Greensmith gets a lot of her inspiration. With both tops, skirts, pants and dresses, you can pick and choose, and match the items together in many different ways. Here are a few goodies from the collection!

Viola Lahger

Viola Lahger is the only corset maker in Sweden, and she is good at it too! After being in the business for many years now, she knows how to make a corset that both shapes your body into the perfect hourglass form and is comfortable at the same time.

Last Thursday I had been invited to Miss Lahger's (pictured above) shop in Stockholm, for an evening of bubble drinking, corset trying, glamour learning, and mingling with a whole bunch of lovely ladies...and one man...

She gave us a short lesson in corsets, and demonstrated how to tie one on the best way by lacing up Elle, who's waist shrunk to a great extent, while her boobs seemed to grow - the perks about a well fitting underbust corset!

The fabulous Mrs Murphy was there to give us a lecture in how to bring some glamour into our everyday lives - something we should all try to do now and then to feel good about ourselves. Did you for example know that scientists have proven that the perfect heel-hight in shoes is 2.8'' (7 cm)? When you walk in high heels you wiggle your hips more - whether you think about it or not - and this wiggling actually produces the feel-good substance endorphins in our bodies. It is also the best exercise for the punani muscles! F**k kegels and put on a pair of high heels instead!

Mrs Murphy's bunny slippers. Want!

Viola Lahger makes both ready-made corsets in different sizes - which can still be altered to fit the customer's body perfectly - and figure-sewn corsets made to the client's own measurements and specific ideas and needs.

She also sells beautiful accessories, perfect for both weddings and glamorous parties. Her corsets are worn by both everyday people, brides, and burlesque stars!

Who wants to get married?

Of course we all had to try on a few corsets! Here is Fanny in a black piece that fitted her body perfectly!

Except for all her own corsets, Miss Lahger also sells a few ones from other brands. Like this one for example. I love it, and I want it!...

...And look! It gave me boobs!!!

This was one of my favorites though. Very antique-looking. Feel like doing a shoot in it...

I had a lovely evening - that resulted in quite a few glasses of Freixenet. So before I left I had to go to the ladies room to powder my nose. When I entered the restroom, I was met by this vision. A perfect ending to a perfect night!

Viola Lahger's website can be found here. And of course she exists on Facebook too!

Mrs Murphy

I have a friend I have never seen without a gorgeous dress covering her fabulous curves, and a pair of high heels on her feet. Her name is Mrs. Murphy! She is the epitome of a confident woman who won't let anyone or anything stand in the way of letting her be the lady she is, and live her life as she wants it! And now to what she works with - in her own words:

"Mrs. Murphy invites you to a never ending cocktail party. In her presence, you always have that bubbling feeling that life is wonderful, you are the hottest at the party and that the great adventure is just about to begin...Mrs. Murphy's mission is to beautify life, and give us a little smile on our faces while doing it. She designs not only individual products but whole worlds, or rather whole universes...Because why stop at the sky when you can be a star...!"

She is an illustrator and designer who has won prizes and awards for her work both in Sweden and abroad, and during the years I have seen her design everything from gorgeous dresses, to calendars and condom cases - like the one below which she gave me at a party once...

Mrs. Murphy says it like it is! And her ingenious quotes can be seen on many of her products, like for example:

A MacBook Pro case, which lining and binding can be color-customized.

"COFFEE...??? Where's my freakin' champagne...?!?" Coffee mug with a lid. Need one of those...

Throw pillows. GREAT for pillow fights!

"OOPS! Did I but champagne instead of milk again...?" Drink coasters. Love this quote! If you're lactose sensitive - like me - this might have happened to you a few times...

Kitchen towels.

iPhone 4 case.

Note books...

...and many other things. If you're having a bad, grey day, and you see one of these quotes, your day will instantly get a bit better. Trust me! I follow her on Facebook, and now and then she puts up newly invented quotes that immediately brightens my day by reminding me that I - and everybody else - are just as fabulous as they make themselves, and that the everyday-glamour is in the little things you do for yourself! Except for the quotes she also spreads inspiring pictures on the web. So if you need some encouragement during the long weeks, I strongly advice you to follow her on Facebook! Here's the link:
