Section: Fashion Freaks & Lippy Addicts: It's All About You!

That’s right! We’re writing the book on the first 25 years of Lip Service! But the story won’t be complete without the most important part …

YOU!

We’re dedicating an entire chapter of our upcoming coffee table book, 25 Years of Original Cult Fashion, to Lippy Fans and Addicts so you have a chance to tell your part of our story!

So …

We’ve had lots of great milestones along the way and know you’ve had great milestone moments in Lip Service, too. We want to include them, too.

Was Lip Service there …

… at your wedding?
… your graduation?
… a landmark moment in your life?

We want to see it and read your Lip Service story!

Send us your photos, your memories, your stories to complete the history of 25 years of Lip Service.

So far, we have collected lippy tattoos, lippy weddings, lippy kids and closets full of lippy clothes! And we want MORE!

Do you have a kick-ass story about some amazing, funny, or utterly crazy thing you did in your Lip Service gear? Send us that too! If you have photos, even better!

Have a killer pic of your multi-generational Lippy Addict family? A photo that brings the early days of Lip Service to life? We want those too!

There are no hard and fast specifics. Just like Lip Service, this story is not bound by pre-conceived limitations. It is our story of 25 years … yours and ours … 25 years of fashion freaks making kick ass clothing for their fellow fashion freaks! Help us tell it!

To submit photos and stories, please email 25years@lip-service.com.
Any questions? You can email us there, too.

We can’t wait to relive it all with you!

Note from the webmistress: Have I mentioned that we LOVE getting new, hot photos of you in your Lip Service gear? Yeah, thought so.

So, of course, I was tickled as hell to see this yummy pic in the new posts for the update this week. Sadly, Lily Darko, the sexy beast who shared this photo, didn’t share any more about herself so we could give her proper love and adulation. Lily, if you want to tell us more about you, please email me or pop some stuff in the comments.

So you want your parents to buy you some killer Lippy goodness, but you have your concerns. I can commiserate, having been young once myself. You can just imagine them surfing the site … the various thoughts that might well pop into their heads … thoughts that might stand between you and the receiving of that kick-ass gear you’re itching to find when you tear open the wrapped packages awaiting you this holiday season:
“Why do they have to use the ‘F’ word so much?”
“What sort of naughty, naughty people wear all those dirty, perverted fetish outfits?”
“My word! Those skirts are awfully short!”
“If our little __________ (insert your name here) wears these sorts of clothes, they might actually *GASP* do nasty, sexy things in them … we can’t have that!”

You get the picture.

So, being as we’re remarkably sensitive to your needs (and we kinda like to sell stuff, too *heh*), we’re here to help you in your quest to get some new Lip Service goodies from the people least likely to give you hot, sexy gear. Here, you’ll find photos with direct links you can forward, so they will have no need to navigate around to things we don’t want to trouble their worrying minds about.

You’re welcome.

Now, this means that a few of the tastier naughty styles need to come off the table. We must be realistic here. Bottom line: The purpose is to get them to kick in for gear, not frighten them, so we’ll keep to the bare essentials. The stuff that will still look hot but not freak out the grown-ups.

Point one … Keep it (seemingly) clean.
Parents love to see you in new clothes, just not ones they know will make members of the opposite sex think impure thoughts. So, the strategy is: Make it SEEM clean, but still have sexy appeal.

A few choice examples:

Note how all of these skirts SEEM just a hint longer than they really are, just long enough to pass parent muster. Yet, you will notice that the added length is an illusion. In most of the skirts, lace or tulle creates the FEEL of more inches while you get to still show lots of leg through that sheer non-cover. And the Dark Desires skirt can be adjusted to slide just a bit further up the thigh … once you’re safely out the door, that is!

Point two … Safe Lolita sexy
The next “safe” area is mostly easy, if you think strategically. YOU know that certain “little girl” looks are über-hot, yet your parents are blissfully unaware. You’d like to keep it that way, wouldn’t you? So, stay away from the bits of that look which will set off red flags in their minds (that means, sorry, no sexy schoolgirl on their dime). Pick your Lolita-inspired looks with care … they’ll think you’re just darling in them and, most importantly, you’ll get to rock the sexy.
A few good examples:

Note, in particular how the Gloomy Doom hoodie, in addition to its girlish goodness, is also cropped (YEA!). The Bat Attack skirt has the illusion of length, but that’s just tulle. Then, the tunic … don’t you just love being able to wear something your folks would NEVER approve as a dress, simply because it’s a “long shirt” worn with your best sexy, butt-hugging friend, legging? And, when looking at the War of the Roses dress, don’t forget to notice that lovely keyhole back opening, to add a little seemingly-safe skin to the lacy girlishness. Overall, I’d say it’s a big collection of parent-friendly-yet-sexy-as-hell WIN!

Point three … Give them “light” dark
Okay, you know you’re a creature of the night. But it freaks them out a little … or a lot. You don’t want to suggest styles that will make them head someplace else for *gack* bright colors and *wretch* festive patterns, do you? Of course not. If you give them something that FEELS like middle-ground to them, they’ll kinda feel like you’re coming out of this “phase” you’ve been in and … as parents are wont to do … encourage your emergence from the black darkling cocoon that so disturbs them. We can find a happy medium, particularly one that still gives you lots of gothy goodness, can be blacked up with other pieces, and -again, most importantly- will pass parent muster.
A few examples:

You’ll notice the Bat Attack Dress, when requested in the purple color, is a two-fer. Not only will you get bats and a still-rather-lovely dark color, you get a bit of length-based illusion as well. Epic win! And, while there are phrases which might be parental hot-spots in the Tokyo Trix jacket and Dark Desires dress, trust someone who’s been there (and heard, “Why do you have to wear black ALL the time?” more times than I care to recall). They’ll be so glad to see something on your list that’s not black, they’ll barely give a passing second thought to “evil” or “blood”. It’s color, so it’s all good. And, of course, you also get some girly-lacy Lolita-like goodness from the Perfume and Lace shirt. Not too bad for not-black, eh?

Last, but certainly not least …
Point four … Look for skin that’s not “being exposed”
Let’s face it, there are a lot of ways to do skin … and your parents are really only mainly concerned with one or two ways of you showing it. So, take advantage of that by showing them styles that are low on rack-baring cleavage but still high on the sexy skin meter. You’ll still look hot and they’ll think you’re demure or something. It’s nice when they delude themselves like that, isn’t it?
Here are a few choice examples:

See what I mean … skin, but not what will register to Mom and Dad as “skin”. Take the Gangsta Pranksta bodice, for example. It’s not a dramatically scooping neckline like the padlock-collar shirt in that group, yet is still low enough for some sexy. It has that little bit of back peeking through the ribbon lacing (which you can always replace later with slimmer stuff after your folks see it with more coverage – like the site photo which is also parent-friendly). best yet, it is made of yummily body-hugging bengaline and, with the backless silhouette, is not bra-friendly. SKIN WIN! The Desensitized jacket speaks for itself. Clingy, stretchy with little hooks which can be undone lower once safely out of the house plus panels of sheer netting that don’t look sheer at first glance, but are tastefully skin-forward. And, well duh, the super-sheer of fishnet and spiderweb lace. “Why, of course, I’ll ALWAYS wear a tank or shell under it, Mom!” *HA!*

One of the wonderful things about most parents of teens … they tend to hear what they want hear and try not to think about what you’re really up to when you’re not at home. Hopefully these links to seemingly “nice” Lippy will get you the stuff you really want to get … not the awful, “good girl” crap they’d get you without a gentle guiding hand toward the Lippy they’d consider buying. Let them feel like they won in this. Let them enjoy their serenity, thinking they have gotten you nice, appropriate clothing instead of all that “trashy” stuff you really wanted.

Then go out, smile, and style it the way you rock it best!

When I see a really intriguing artist in the course of my web travels, my first thought is, “I must share this cool shit with everyone!” Well, when someone as talented as Jim Wayer (aka Wicked Illusions) falls right into my lap while I’m editing the webzine, that goes double!

You’ve seen Jim’s beautiful images in Nos’ Devil Inside features. From the pretty portraits to the dark undertones of the Used and Abused set and the creepy camp of the Transformation set that turned Nos into a hot, fur-encased werewolf, he has been a perfect visual foil for our resident gore whore’s thoughts. Once I started looking further into his work, I found not only some awesome creepiness, but also a selection of purely sexy imagery and portraits with personality and (refreshingly) just a bit of a whimsical eye. Below is a gallery with a taste of Jim’s Wicked Illusions. Visit his website WickedIllusions.com to see more and get information on how to book him (or click the logo).

A little background on Jim (from his website bio):
Wicked Illusions (a.k.a. Jim Wayer) is an award winning film maker who has taken his love for the visual dynamic into the realm of photography. A fairly new comer to the photography scene, he has already had his work published in Bizarre Magazine and Zivity, as well as here on the Lip Service webzine, and has been gaining the attention of many in the Alt/Fetish realm (which is where he feels the most at home).

Nothing shall stop him from bettering himself as an artist and experimenting into higher levels of insanity. So join his demented band of freaks or prepare yourself for battle! He also loves little puppies.

 

 
I had a chance to ask Jim a few questions and here’s what he had to say for himself …

Webmistress: How did you start getting interested in photography and who were your influences? I could ask the same about horror … and will … why dark themes and who influenced your style?

WICKED ILLUSIONS: Well my love for photography really spawned from my love of lighting. It all began with becoming a film maker and realizing how the lighting actually affected the mood that you felt when viewing the imagery. My main influences are filmmakers that expand the visual means of their films, which also is a reason I am attracted to horror, because you see this all the time in the genre. You get such beautiful imagery in films like Susperia and The Beyond, that you just don’t see in films like Big Momma’s House. Also, one of the many hats I wear is that of a Special FX artist, so I have a deep-rooted history and love with all things gory and scary!

 
WM: If you had to describe your work in a sentence or less, what would it be?

WICKED ILLUSIONS: The dark, sadistic side of beauty

 

WM: What is your process in creating images and where is the most crazy place you’ve gotten inspiration for a shoot?

WICKED ILLUSIONS: I have multiple processes for creating images. Sometimes, I know exactly what I want and spend hours of adjusting to capture that. Sometimes I have a broad idea of the feel that I want to go for, but let the shoot take on its own life. It’s very enjoyable for me when a shoot takes a turn that I didn’t expect and achieves a greater result! I get very bizarre inspirations from strange places. I tend to see the truths behind many things more than their face value. I see a flyer for a church picnic and what I see is a good marketing idea for the church to make some money. One of the recent bizarre inspirations came from seeing somebody drinking a tropical drink out of a coconut. Still have not planned that one out yet, but it’s coming!

 
WM: So, how dark are the recesses of your mind?

WICKED ILLUSIONS: Ha! I don’t know what you mean! The recesses of my mind are like bluebirds flying around in an open field…just sometimes they happen to land on a landmine.

 
WM: What would be a subject or scene you would not do, no matter what?

WICKED ILLUSIONS: I cannot say that there is a specific scene or image that I absolutely won’t do. There are certain subjects that I would never show in a certain light. For example, I would never show a child mutilated or abused simply to be shocking, however, if should that image was more about portraying the evilness of the person inflicting such pain on the kid, then I would be ok with it (of course all implied and not actually hurting a kid!).

One of the more horrifying subjects that I see is that of animal abuse and torture. I am a huge dog lover and seeing such subject matter always pisses me off. However, I also push myself in that way too. If I come across something that frightens me, I confront it and overcome my fear of it. Sometimes the way to overcome a fear of heights is to simply stand on a ledge 5 stories in the air. So there isn’t anything that I would absolutely never show, because I think all taboo subject matter can be shown in certain aspects, where it actually conveys an appropriate message.

 

WM: What is the most challenging subject you’ve done so far?

WICKED ILLUSIONS: The most challenging subject that I have come across is having to shoot sets that are, as I call them, “Normal photos”. I like shooting fashion photos, as long as I can have my visual feel to it. There are many places that I have come across that immediately dismiss photos because, god forbid, there are shadows!

I don’t care too much for the photos that are all soft and flat. I have a recent love for soft light, but still want to create a more three dimensional feel to a photo in regards of the subject and the scene around them.

 
WM: If logistics and budget were no object, what would your Holy Grail photo shoot be?

WICKED ILLUSIONS: Well, equipment wise, I’d have about three 27’ grip trucks packed to the brim. However, location wise, I would love to have free run of an abandoned, underground military base. I also would love to recreate the test towns that the government set up for nuclear bomb tests and have a whole mess of models, dressed up, and charred, posing as the mannequins.

 
WM: On a similar vein, if you could do a portrait of anyone, who would it be and how would you present them?

WICKED ILLUSIONS: It would definitely be Masuimi Max. She has a look that would make a priest have to say 10 Hail Mary’s! I would either present her in a 70’s exploitation style battered victim way, or as a deranged psychopath. Seeing her in a ripped up straightjacket, splattered with blood and holding some form of blunt object.

 
WM: Beside photography, what are your creative passions?

WICKED ILLUSIONS: The two main artistic releases I have besides photography would be web/graphic design and film making. I find a strange pleasure in typing like a madman in this bizarre coding language and having it turn out all pretty like! A few recent examples of this are My Website, and the new Wicked Pixel Cinema webstore.

On the filmmaking front, I love being on set and simply being a part of such magnificent display of organized chaos! My first major film that I ever worked on was DEADWOOD PARK, where I was Key Grip. That movie also sucked me into joining Wicked Pixel Cinema. That’s when I declared that no matter what, I will be an artist for the rest of my life. Since then I wore many hats through the insane production of Eric Stanze’s current movie RATLINE and manage day to day operations at our studio. I also am happy to say that in two days I leave for New York to work in the Grip/Electric department on Jim Mickle’s film STAKE LAND!

The Week in the Life contest has closed and we have our winner! We had some interesting people give us a slice of their life and we thank them all. But Alyson grabbed us right from the jump. How can you not be chomping at the bit to hear more after an introduction that begins, “My life is an unseen, unheard hit reality television series.”

Sure enough, we read on and Alyson is, indeed, a person we’d most like to follow around for a week. Here are a few excerpts to give you an idea of what we mean:

“I develop a new product for my store, Peanut Butter Cat Poop (carob covered, of course)!”

“I attend a Latin adaptation of an Aristophanes play, involving giant balloon penises, a shit-powered giant beetle, fudgesicles passed out to the audience (then declared frozen shit on a stick), massive humping, the masturbation song, and Aristophanes himself popping a boner or two (literally). Old snobby people all around me hail it as a “unique and modern look on a classic”. I sit in the background laughing at the absurdity of it all.”

Add to that, we have come to discover, after contacting Alyson, she is a Grammy award-winning violinist who plays in five different bands, one of which (God’s Weapon) just opened for George Clinton and P-Funk at the Nokia Theater. She also works closely with a local animal sanctuary (All the Same Wild and Tame)and creates her own line of jewelery (El Rockerachi) to donate funds to the cause, too. So, beside wondering when she finds time to sleep, we can’t help but be excited to see what a week with Alyson is all about.

Alyson will be our guest Blacklist columnist On the Road in next week’s edition (October 7)

Oh, yeah, and we’ve also discovered she rocks the hell out of Lip Service gear, too.

Here’s a little taste of what rock violin can do with some fun, funky stream of consciousness video thrown in for kicks:

I’m a mother of two from the UK, and I am a Lippy Addict and proud to be one. I was however slightly disgusted when some freakin’ idiot suggested that my daughter was a ‘poor baby’ because she was photographed with me wearing Lip Service in a pic which I put on the Lippy group on Facebook.

Surely we are in a place in the universe now where you can wear what the heck you like! It’s pathetic really. There are plenty of Mums on the lippy_addicts board. It’s not like I was standing holding my daughter in a gimp suit I was wearing a GP top!

I even dress my daughter in some DIY Lippy and she looks absolutely adorable in it. I like that we can match sometime, although I know people will probably find it a bit creepy!!
