Slowly.....but surely.............Testing out my blogging chops.

I'm a makeup artist, and I nailed my cat eye liner in five minutes. Not sure if that's a long time for you vets, but for me, its a record breaker. I can nail a cat eye on a client at the drop of a hat. But for me, it can take me up to two years....lol! Red lips are easy........Ruby Woo from MAC! That's a no brainer for me.

My hair is in dreadlocs, small in girth so that it'll allow me to try different styles. I…

This post has been weighing on my heart for some time. It's hard to revisit the past, especially when it contains pain and heartache. I want to bring myself to a level where all you lovely and diverse women can relate to me. I like to hope I can pass on some hard learned lessons and ideologies on love, motivation, and life in general. Plainly, I have decided to share with you how I got to this …

When you ask most ladies who their pin up inspirations are, the usual suspects begin to emerge:

• Marilyn Monroe
• Bettie Page
• Betty Grable
• Jayne Mansfield
• Elizabeth Taylor

...and so on and so forth. Occasionally you get someone who names someone slightly different - the occasional Doris Day or Jean Harlow girl comes to mind.

You can tell a lot about someone based on their pin up inspiration. Marilyn Monroe women tend to go…

      Although I don't expect this to become a ' trend ' or anything , Im coining ' modeling ' here and now for it IS a thing to do as well as ' dressing up ' is a 'thing' to do . A thing to do , kinda like skateboarding , you know a THING to do . I have always done this 'thing' though in more subtle and humble ways . Modeling is what one does after going the whole nine yards in fashionable feminine fashions , you know after the beauty bath and boudoir vanity, into slow and sexy dressing and…

Hey guys! It’s me Tahitia again and I thought I’d try something a little different with you today when it comes to blogging. Instead of posting an interview, which by the way I’ve REALLY enjoyed doing and hope to do a lot more of down the road I wanted to tell you a little big about myself and an issue that I’ve been dealing with since I turned 22 ten years ago.

Slowly, but ever so surely, I’ve been losing my eyesight. This has been because of a hereditary condition I inherited and…

Hello everybody! I hope that your November is progressing well. The holidays are coming upon us so very fast. Will I be ready on time? Will I get some chances to show off some of my new PUG clothing during the holidays? Will we get snow here in Los Angeles for Christmas? I do know the answers to some of those questions. And there is one other thing that I know. I will take the chance to go out for afternoon whenever I get the chance!

I used to call my Flickr page "Aoife Takes Tea".…

Hello darlings! I'm here again with my latest corset adventure....sleeping in my corset. My first attempt at this didn’t fair so well. I wore my maroon CS-426, lacing it how I would normally. Big mistake! I had a mild panic attack and had a hard time…

Hello Darlings!  This blog is all about the importance of seasoning, or breaking-in, your new corset. With so many people new to corseting out there, I thought it was time to emphasize this VERY important step in the life of your corset. …

Should I remove my corset before eating? That depends...

Just a few quick thoughts on eating and corsets – based solely on my own experiences and thoughts shared by some of my coworkers here at Orchard Corset.…

Hey everyone! It's me Tahitia again and I wanted to pop in and tell that while I may have dropped off the face of the Earth just a bit I'm still very much here and livin' the PUG life each and every day! If you don't believe me just ask my hubby or my friends how many times I wore my Scoop Neck Tee with Haunted Mansion Girl Art this summer... and this fall... you know what I can wear that shirt any time…
