Kiss Me Deadly

If I’m very , very lucky, the factory might get the big knicker on the right  made in time for Valentines. Lets everybody cross fingers

Anyway in the meantime, we’re giving away a Fifi set – if you tweet, facebook, comment on a facebook about us, tumblr, or blog about us, you’ll get an entry each time you do it (2 entries for full on blogging I think!), and if you join our mailing list, we’ll put you in a draw for a £100 gift voucher.  I’ll announce the winners  on the 13th February, so you’ve got a little bit of time to think about what you like about us.

I’m actually writing this wearing a Kriss Soonik top – which I reckon I still owe her a bra for,  come to think of it. I met Kriss when she got accidentally stuck next to me at London Fashion Week in the lingerie boudoir, which was quite the most cramped and sweaty space you can imagine, which she was amazingly relaxed about!

Kriss does loungerie – which for me makes most of it look like things I would totally wear as outerwear, and if you check her facebook it seems I’m not the only one! Plus it’s got lots of cute details like cat cut-outs and angel wings, which appeals to my playful side that rarely gets let out with KMD.

She’s also Estonian, and really oddly when I was wittering about a composer I’d been listening to recently,  piped up to say that he was her neighbour. Apparently it’s a really small country, or possibly she just knows all the most talented  people, its hard to say!

Anyway, for the lovebomb, she’s choosing someone to gives a suspender top away to from people who join the mailing list, tweet, facebook or blog about her! I think KMD fans will like the suspender top . . . and she’s launching some new items just for this, which we won’t know about until when you read this!

Lorraine, who runs Miss Mandalay, is  someone who has a small back size with a large cup, so you can probably see why she developed the brand!  Now they go from 28 D-G and 30-38 B-GG.

Miss Mandalay have been running for longer than KMD, but possibly because since then larger companies with bigger PR budgets have been launched, I don’t always hear her mentioned first thing when people talk about full bust bras. Which is a damn shame because her bras are AWESOME, as you realise once you see them on someone.  One of these days I’m going to photograph them with our  longline and suspender belt, because although she has lots of zingy contemporary bright colours (and I got very excited by a turquoise leopard print at one point) she also has some lovely styles in black or trimmed with black that I think have enough retro touches to  please KMD fans.

She also does bikinis, which I’m told are good but in all honesty I never go swimming or have a holiday so I have no idea – my idea of a good bikini involves as much fabric as possible to avoid sunburn! Anyone want to try them and report back?

She’s giving away a  leopard print Vava set to celebrate this week – I’d be tempted myself but I’m pretty certain we’re not allowed to win each others giveaways!
