Download or read book Fits Like a Rubber Dress written by Roxane Ward and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 1999-04-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it take to squeeze into a second skin you think you want? And when you find you can’t breathe, who’s going to help you peel it off? In a celebrity-obsessed culture, when media images of women ( and women themselves ) appear to be driven by unreasonable expectations and demands, how does a 29-year-old woman fill that perfect little black dress? These questions are posed and answered in Roxane Ward’s debut novel, Fits Like a Rubber Dress, a hybrid of satire, social commentary, and tragedy. It’s the story of Indigo Blackwell, a woman who tries to reinvent herself as someone glamorous, and ends up travelling innocently through the underground world of drugs, fetish parties, and sadomasochistic sex. Indigo is married to Sam, a self-absorbed wannabe novelist. She’s bored by her career in public relations. The lives her friends lead are profoundly more interesting than her own limited existence. She realizes, the afternoon of her promotion, that the time has come for change: something bigger than a haircut, less extreme than a divorce. No sooner has she made the leap from financial security to the exhilarating uncertainty of film school, than she walks in the back door of her house, video camera in hand, to find another man’s head between her husband’s naked thighs. The camera keeps rolling as Indigo’s marriage dissolves. Alone for the first time, Indigo finds herself propelled into the kind of intense, urban life she’s always wanted. She begins an affair with Jon, a toxic young artist who treats his own life and the people in it as he would a sculpture, as things to manipulate. Fast approaching thirty, Indigo discovers that her new life doesn’t have to fit so tightly after all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Different is a brave thing to be,” a mother tells her five-year-old daughter. During the 1960s and 1970s, when things for gays and lesbians were starting to change in larger cities, in the Midwest, different was not a safe thing to be. A memorable cast of characters, a sympathetic, believable, tight-knit community of friends and rivals fill out the interconnected stories with butches, femmes, go-go dancers, and drag queens who try to find their way in an unaccepting culture by becoming a family of choice. Anyone who has ever been on the outside looking in will feel at home on “the levee.”

Download or read book Latex Fashion Photography written by Miki Bunge and published by Goliath Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brilliant Times for Skintight Outfits Whether vinyl, PVC, or patent, rubber, spandex or latex, shiny skintight clothing has mostly been seen as slutty, whorish and vulgar. But since international stars have been sporting extravagant latex attire, skintight and shiny is now worn on the street, at the club and even in audience with royalty. Musicians are on the cutting edge of this trend. Recent out of the closet latex fans include Katy Perry and Beyonce: one dancing on stage in a candy colored pleather mini dress, the other on TV in a revealing American flag inspired latex outfit. In her latest video Christina Aguilera sprawls in a dark rubber and leather costume, and in fat-positive defiance of the current ideal of beauty, Karl Lagerfeld's sex-cracker muse Beth Ditto, squeezes herself into a shocking pink latex cat suit. But music's most recognizable ambassador of the slick and tight is surely Lady Gaga. For her audience with the Queen of England, she audaciously decided to wear an opulent red latex dress by designer Atsuko Kudo. We can happily bid adieu to the days of baggy shirts and cotton leggings. Even Burlesque's nostalgia for the square days of old is giving way to this new love of extravagance and experimentation. What only turned on goths, new wave fans and fetishists is now consumed and adapted by the mainstream for itself. Even Vogue magazine takes up the cudgel for these formerly freakish and ghettoized materials. In an online article, they write: "Be naughty and you sit in the spotlight. Times change. Trends change. The fetish-look is no longer relegated to the silent room, but with raised head (it is) carrying a lot of style and a charming wink. The fun of fashion with previously taboo material such as latex paint and leather outfits is standing in the foreground." For Latex Fashion Photography GOLIATH PUBLISHING brought together the best and most interesting latex fashion labels from across the world, drawing from the trendy, the fashionable and the erotic. On 384 pages more than 60 photographers portray the unique creations and clothes of designers such as Atsuko Kudo (designer to Lady Gaga, Eva Mendes, Kate Moss and more), and Berlin label Tres Bonjour (designer to Katy Perry). Over 30 of the most famous fetish models, among them Ulorin Vex, Eden, Bianca Beauchamp and Mosh, present themselves as latex punks, rock n roll riot girls, modern pinups, and space girls and femmes fatales. !!

Download or read book Fashioning James Bond written by Llewella Chapman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09-23 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fashioning James Bond is the first book to study the costumes and fashions of the James Bond movie franchise, from Sean Connery in 1962's Dr No to Daniel Craig in Spectre (2015). Llewella Chapman draws on original archival research, close analysis of the costumes and fashion brands featured in the Bond films, interviews with families of tailors and shirt-makers who assisted in creating the 'look' of James Bond, and considers marketing strategies for the films and tie-in merchandise that promoted the idea of an aspirational 'James Bond lifestyle'. Addressing each Bond film in turn, Chapman questions why costumes are an important tool for analysing and evaluating film, both in terms of the development of gender and identity in the James Bond film franchise in relation to character, and how it evokes the desire in audiences to become part of a specific lifestyle construct through the wearing of fashions as seen on screen. She researches the agency of the costume department, director, producer and actor in creating the look and characterisation of James Bond, the villains, the Bond girls and the henchmen who inhibit the world of 007. Alongside this, she analyses trends and their impact on the Bond films, how the different costume designers have individually and creatively approached costuming them, and how the costumes were designed and developed from novel to script and screen. In doing so, this book contributes to the emerging critical literature surrounding the combined areas of film, fashion, gender and James Bond.
