Best known for their tights that don't roll down or dig in, Heist are now expanding their offering to include what they call 'bodywear', and they're doing a good job... Continue Reading →
It's been a long time since the last Brunch Club as we were all busy in August, so there was a lot to catch up on this time. Our first post-summer outing took place on Sunday 30th September 2018 at The Good Egg, Ground Floor Kingly Court, Kingly Street, London W1B 5PW and they don't... Continue Reading →
Back in 2013, I celebrated a decade of blogging with an awards ceremony. One of the winners of those awards - voted for by this blog's readers and my social media followers - was the incomparable Lolo Brow. In the five years since then, Lolo has: produced Cabaret Derangium; terrified audiences with her toxic masculinity... Continue Reading →
When I did my Master's degree and started to focus on underwear in my research, I discovered that there are a lot of books published on that topic (specifically on women's underwear/lingerie), but the vast majority of them are little more than picture books. Although these can look very beautiful, many of them offer very... Continue Reading →
I've had a fondness for burlesque for a decade now. The costumes, movements, and facial expressions all help to tell a story, and the best acts are often the ones that do something the audience doesn't expect. I've always preferred a little subversion to a lot of 'glitter tits', and thankfully there are plenty of... Continue Reading →

Brunch Club gathering number fifteen, on Sunday 15th April 2018, was pretty much our two year anniversary celebration (as we first brunched together on 9th April 2016). Also, we couldn't find a date that worked for everyone in March so it felt like A Very Long Time since the last one. Eleanor recently converted our... Continue Reading →
I really enjoy sewing and love making things, but I have very few clothes in my wardrobe that I made myself. The reason for this is a) finding the motivation is hard, and b) even when I've done something before, I don't often recall exactly how to do it. This is why I really enjoy... Continue Reading →
For Brunch Club fourteen, on 25th February 2018, we decided to do something a bit different... we stayed home. Well, I stayed home and the others came round to my place! Back in January, when Topper asked what I wanted for my birthday I couldn't think of anything. I tried thinking of experiences rather than... Continue Reading →
