Finally someone with a different take on fine linens. I love my bed. I spend half my bloody lifetime in it. Comfort is imperative.

Every boudoir should have a little naughty. Vice Merchants have just the thing for those that want some downright dirty sheets. The wonderful company,Vice Merchants,  is headed by Brooklyn based artist, Miriam Carothers.

Her illustration work is fantastical and will  greet you with the pleasures of large breasts, arched backs, round bottoms, full lips, a bit of mischief, a touch of humor, and a heavy dose of sex. The beautiful curves and sweeping lines of her illustrations meld into wonderful and wacky images of the female form at “play”. Futuristic femme fatales, topless steamy bohemian girls, bare bottomed motorcycle chicks riding herd, and nudie cutie pin-ups all arrive on paper with a palpable magnetism that pulls the viewer’s eye to page.

Vice Merchants have fused the subversive underbelly of fine art and the world of interior design to create their own steamy rendition of home décor that begins with Poppy Playground, an exclusive collection of stylishly-risqué luxe bedding. And oh my, what a gorgeous set and even better? 400 thread count Egyptian cotton …mmmmmmm….

With Carothers’s art as the inspiration, this design house takes a postmodern approach to sexual taboos and appropriates the forbidden as a something to be celebrated in the objects and accessories of everyday life. Carothers illustrates from posed live models and imbues each sketch with her own artistry creating images and scenes that work as a mural but also have enough power to stand-alone and hold the viewer’s attention.  These drawings are passed on to the design team that will meticulously translate and trick out the illustrations into sinfully sensual prints and patterns for bedding, wall paper, ottomans, curtains, coat linings and much more.

They have Poppy Pink and Poppy Taupe (as above). These are also limited editions which tickles my insides as I love having something rare and unique, especially in the bedroom … jus’ sayin! There are a myriad of ways an illustrator can create and when I saw these I was impressed. Beautiful, sensual fun bedroom decor

Decadance ….

Vice Merchants collections are for the hot blooded, progressive provocateurs’ hidden in all of us, adding a hint of mischief and a dollop of titillation to the doldrums of everyday décor.

… on a budget.

Take one cardboard box.

Add one sadist and one masochist who think objectification is kinda fun.

Grab some scissors and a couple of markers and taaadaaaahhh!

Dolly.

‘snikker’

all of my life
I’ve never fit
but I won’t complain and I won’t quit
I am enormous
get used to it
everyone tells me I’m too much
maybe it’s just you’re not enough for me
can’t you see
I’m the kind of the woman I’m supposed to be

[chorus]
my vagina is 8 miles wide
absolutely everyone can come inside
if you’re ever frightened just run and hide
my vagina is 8 miles wide

tell me what is womanly to you
strong but not too much of a brute
it’s cool if she’s powerful
but way better if she’s cute
for all of us girls who don’t fit in
I say go Amazonian
you can be a kick-ass bruiser
and be feminine

[chorus]

now I am not loose and I’m not a whore
this is a metaphor for
my super vigantastically mystical feminine goddess core
and I hate it when women make that noise
that we don’t need daddies, men or boys
even the hard-core dykes like
cock-shaped sex toys

[bridge]
my vagina
it’s universal
like a penis
but reversible
come on in, the water’s fine
it’s not my vagina
it’s our vagina

[harmony chorus]
[just the boys]
[everyone]

wide
wide
vigantic
vigantic
vigantic
a big big love
vigantic
vigantic
vigantic
a big big love

Yano I love talking to people online and offline about kink, BDSM, and all things encompassing fetish.

I don’t however enjoy getting random messages from people I have never spoken to before online who think that because I am on a fetish site you can treat me like a piece of fuckmeat.

It’s rude.

It’s insulting.

Take this one for example from a random NZ guy who graced my inbox with this…
