Immodesty Blaize

After reading the latest issue of Burlesque Magazine, we spotted these gorgeous images of burlesque performer Immodesty Blaize (promoting her new film). Of course we knew we had to share!
We first discovered Ms. Blaize when she modeled a few pieces from the Madame V catalog in 2007, and once you see someone as spectacular as she you don't forget!
Often referred to as the "the undisputed queen of British burlesque" you can find her performing internationally in luxurious and decadent costumes filled with crystals, feathers and dazzling jewels. And look at those corsets...what can we say but 'wow'! We can only imagine how much it costs to have a custom Swarovski crystal-covered corset made for you...but we're sure it's worth it. Something to add to our wish list!

Madame V

We get quite a few emails/phone calls inquiring about when we will receive a new collection from Madame V...and the answer is, we won't (for now). Though they have a lovely, updated website, the brand has not created any new collections in about a year. Luckily you can still order some of the classic pieces that were once carried at Faire Frou Frou on the Madame V website, and we've posted some of those favorites here!
As for if and when they will design something new...that remains to be seen. We would love to see this brand make a comeback! Typically when a popular brand pretty much disappears for no apparent reason, it's due to lack of proper management from investment companies. Sometimes quality control is not what it should be, and production ends up compromised. We're not sure if this is what happened to Madame V, but we've seen similar things happen to other lingerie brands. In any event, we eagerly await their big comeback!

On a separate note...you need to start shopping for Valentine's Day! Get started here.
