Hey everyone!
So I've been brainstorming, and I have a million ideas (not really, but way too many to do all of them at once) for what I'd like to do in the next year. One of those things involves the collection that I will be showing in Boston Fashion Week in September. The new collection will be different from what I've created in the past - it will not be made completely of latex, nor will it be styled in the fetish style.
What I'd like to know from my fans is whether you are interested in buying clothing from Kinky Cat Designs that is not made completely from latex. I am struggling with the decision to make these new designs available in my existing shop or to open a new shop for the new style. This new style will essentially be a new brand, but it will also include latex, just not the kinkier versions.
I can't be any more specific in what these designs will be, as they won't be debuted until the end of September, but I would like feedback from anyone willing to give it on if I should keep the two styles separate or if they should be sold side by side in the same store.
Thanks guys!

A New Look
Hey everyone!
I will be updating the look of not only this blog (it's already begun), but also my Etsy shop. It's time for a new look to celebrate the new collection I will be unveiling in Boston for the Emerging Trends show in September. I've added labels to the side bar already to help you find the content you'd like, a direct link to my shop in the top bar, and I will be changing my banner soon as well to suit the new look of Kinky Cat Designs.
Also, some changes will be happening in my shop over the next month and a half. Some things are going to be discontinued, as I don't particularly like them anymore or they are not big sellers. Other things will be added, though, not to worry. Some prices will be changing as well. I'd like to give my customers some warning before this happens, but prices will be going up on some things. I can't say which yet, as I'm still working out the details, but I can tell you that about half of my shop will be going up a bit in price (possibly only a very little bit). I regret having to do this, but to realistically design and make clothing for a living, I have to up my prices slightly on some things to avoid going into debt. I hope you will all understand.
On a happier note, here are a couple of photos taken during 2 shoots in the last few weeks of my friend and model, Tara Lee, taken by Grant Douglas Photography.
Ciao Kittens!

Help with Boston Fashion Week, please?
Hello everyone!
I have a huge favour I need to ask of all of my wonderful fans:
I have signed my contract for Boston Fashion Week and it's going to cost me a small fortune to make it there. Can any of you help me out with even a small amount? You can check out this link for my profile and to help me raise funds for my first runway show. It's really important to me to get to Boston, and I'm not asking for money without giving you anything in return.
Along the side of the above linked page, I have listed some rewards for anyone who helps by donating certain amounts to my cause. Of course, I don't expect everyone to be able to afford to help, but even if you could pass the link along to your friends, it would help me out greatly, and I would really appreciate it.
I hate asking for money, but I think this is a good compromise: you give me money to help get me to Boston, and I give you something, be it a signed photo print from my new collection, latex, or otherwise.
Thanks so much in advance, guys, I really do appreciate it!

I'm a slacker, sorry! (And here are some pics!)
I have been so caught up in collaborations and work that I just keep putting off writing any entries here. So to make up for it, I have a bunch of photos for you! Check them out, these are the photos I wrote about previously, taken by Rebecca McKay Photography with hair by Jamie Williams. I hope you like them, because I do!
Zippered Tank Top, Canada Bikini Top, Short Contrast Gauntlets, Pencil Skirt, One Shoulder Zip Dress, Mini Skirt, and Elbow Length Gauntlets
I will add some more from this shoot some other time. But for now, enjoy these sexy ladies in latex.
Ciao Kitties!

Fetish... ?
Have you ever noticed how people react if you mention latex clothing? They think it's some taboo thing that shouldn't be spoken of in public. I find that funny. Like to the point where I actually laugh. For me, it's not a fetish thing. I love the fabric; how it feels, how it looks, how it just works for some designs. It's not really about making fetish wear for me. I want people to realize that just because it has been used primarily in the fetish scenes (aside from doctor's gloves and balloons), that doesn't mean that it can't be worn in normal fashion.
I understand that the majority of people out there would never wear it, and a lot of the rest would only dream of wearing something made of latex during Halloween. But fashion is changing rapidly, and I expect to see latex as a fairly standard fabric a few years down the road. People just need to get away from their way of thinking, away from the stereotypes of what is normal and what is "inappropriate".
In my opinion, a simple latex dress is much less extravagant than a lot of the designs shown in high-end fashion shows. I think we will be seeing latex clothing in mainstream stores and being worn by "normal" people soon.
Anyway, that's just my opinion. Feel free to tell me yours!

Hobbies
I have recently just realized that I am a workaholic... It was a strange discovery because I always said I worked this hard to pay the bills. I have had barely any time to myself for a week, and haven't slept properly, either, and yet this is the happiest I've been in a long time. I'm only happy when I'm focusing all of my time and energy on doing things, and I never focus on just one thing.
A good example of this is how many hobbies I have picked up over the years. Aside from the obvious of designing and making clothing, I have always been into art, such as painting, drawing, sketching, as well as writing stories. I've written a full novel that is sitting in a folder on my laptop in need of editing. I have tried my hand at chainmaille and jewellery. So basically, I am just always creating something.
Anyway, enough chat, I thought maybe I would share some of my photography with you today. These are some of my better photos, but they are by no means professional quality. I just do it for fun. :)
You can view all of these in larger sizes in my gallery on deviantART, along with a bunch of other photos and artwork. I have decided that a few times a month I will be sharing with you some of the other creations I make aside from my latex clothing. So consider this the first installment to the series.

Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope Santa treated you well this year, even if you were a little naughty. ;)
I've been busy working at my normal job and doing the holiday thing, so unfortunately I only have a couple of small and simple new items listed in the shop. But that's okay, because I am almost done setting up my new small studio where I can get back to working on larger items, and way more detailed than I have already finished. Now I just have to get my hands on a mannequin to go in there to help me get better photos.
But until then, I want to share with you the treasuries in which my work has been featured as of late.
