by Luis Paredes
Meg at Midnight, the new designer intimatewear for the smaller busted woman, unveils its Spring-Summer 2013 collection on its recently-launched website – meg-at-midnight.com.
The first intimatewear collection dubbed ‘Else’ is inspired by the elegance, mystery, and magnetism of the 1920s era. “Subtle hints such as frilled lace edges are apparent on the pieces, as seen on the Marion and Opal sets. The two key pieces are increasingly becoming popular to the website visitors and social network followers,” said the designer.
The pieces are available on the website’s shop on limited stocks, ready to ship internationally. Meg at Midnight lingerie are carefully structured to fit and flatter petite figures with the aim of empowering smaller busted women to embrace their shape and come out confident rather than resorting to expensive and potentially hazardous cosmetic operations. All Meg at Midnight products are finished in the UK.

Intimate Graphics: Gold Tattoos by Temporary Tattoo MFG
by Luis Paredes
Known as the “Shopping capital of the Middle East”, Dubai is known for spawning trends related to gold and the latest accessory trend for the fashion-conscious citizens of Dubai is a temporary tattoo made of real gold. These gorgeous hand applied tattoos are made with 24-carat gold.
Now a US company, Temporary Tattoo Mfg., inspired by this Dubai trend, has developed a simulated Gold Tattoo that will apply in just seconds and lasts for days, even while swimming and bathing…but can be easily removed with rubbing alcohol.
The look is identical to the hand applied Dubai tattoos that cost hundreds of dollars, but at a fraction of the cost.


The US product is offered in packages for retail that include a stunning collection of designs in each of the 3 versions. The company also provides Store Displays to retailers as well.
“These tattoos look absolutely gorgeous on the skin with lingerie and swimwear and are a fun accessory for any occasion,” said Joyce Bordelon, owner of Temporary Tattoo Mfg.
The Gold Tattoos come in attractive packaging and hold between 2 – 4 tattoo sheets, depending on the styles. Wholesale price points for the Gold Tattoos are extremely competitive for their quality and attractive packaging emphasized the company.

Private Label
Joyce also emphasized that Temporary Tattoo Mfg. also designs and produces custom designs and private label packaging.
