Copyright ZZ Warm, friendly personalized service. Attention to
detail. Genuine concern for customer satisfaction. Ah yes,
and fun too! These are not only alive and well, but thriving at
Judy Basha Designs here in Vancouver B.C. Forgive me for
starting this like an ad, but I can't help myself. This is
one cool place to go. Although I have bought many items of
clothing from there , I hadn't been for about a year. Taking
Shannon along last week merely underscored why I rate Judy Basha as my
number one shopping experience in town. One look in my closet
clearly showcases where my best and favorite outfits come from. We
cabbed over a little after 1:00 p.m. on a Tuesday. Shannon was
wearing her favorite honey-blonde wig, a see-through, cream-coloured
top, black leather mini, and knee-high black leather boots. I
foolishly opted for my long, blonde wig, short is the way to go when
trying on outfits, which turned into a tangled mess after a few
hours. I also wore my flared, black, hip-hugger pants, white top,
and black stilettos. We were greeted warmly by Judy and her
partner, Rob, and immediately offered spring water at whatever
temperature we desired. Besides creating innovative and exciting
fashion, Judy also likes going out to fetish parties, sporting some of
her creations. Her goth, vampire look is killer, including spooky
pale green contacts, superb makeup, and some very convincing fangs. To peruse and try on her exciting outfits, you have to book an appointment (check out her website with phone number in my links
section). This will allow you to have the total princess
experience in a relaxed, unhurried manner. Oh yes, she also
offers designs for men too. The predominant fabric is PVC,
although leather and other fabrics are also available. The styles
are provocative, mostly for fetish, club, glamour, or intimate
encounters. She can also order the same sexy shoes and boots the
expensive retail stores carry. If you are willing to wait a
couple of weeks for your footwear, you can definitely save money. Judy's
handsome partner, Rob, helped Shannon in choosing and donning outfits,
while Judy assisted moi. Not surprisingly, Shannon gravitated
immediately towards the boots and was soon swaggering about in a pair
of black PVC thigh boots, complete with a six-inch platform heel and
festooned in all manner of laces, buckles, and straps. I began looking
at corsets, as well as a wonderful full length PVC black skirt. It had
slits up both legs that ran all the way up to my hipbones, and I was
cautioned by all in attendance that I wouldn't be able to wear anything
under there more substantial than a G-string. Darn!!! Moments
later, Shannon sauntered back into the room, looking pretty hardcore in
black and green PVC bustier (with a snakeskin pattern), black PVC mini
and gauntlets, and the thighboots. I was almost dressed in my corset
and PVC slitskirt ensemble, so it was time for some pictures. Shannon
and I have become accustomed to bringing her digital camera with us
shopping. We find it is extremely helpful in making choices, as you can
simple scroll back through the shots to see which outfit and look
worked best. This is not something Judy typically allows, and she asked
us not to post shots of her latest creations. After seeing the
beautiful photographs, however, she did ask us if we would be
interested in modeling for her promotional posters. Well, of course we
agreed. Overall, we spent about three hours at the shop, trying
on all sorts of amazing fetwear. Shannon was very fond of a D-ring
waist-cinching corset, and asked Rob to tighten it psychotically tight.
She also tried on some funky, white tasseled gloves and skirt, making
some comment about putting together a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader
outfit. I tried on a couple of corsets, several skirts, dresses,
and boots. Some of these items including a short, shoulder strap,
emerald dress, pink jacket, and knee-high Domme boots were generously
marked down in price. I mulled over whether to get some of these
or what I had originally planned: black PVC mini, corset, leather
gauntlets, red shoes, etc. I then remembered going through my
wardrobe recently, discovering that most of it was dark in
colour. In the end, I would decide, after much contemplation, to
go with a lot of pinks and whites, which could be mixed and matched
with each other, and with some of my existing numbers. I can
hardly wait to pick these up, so I can start wearing them out, and have
some new pictures taken. Stay tuned for updates to my
galleries.... Shannon and I left the store feeling giddy, like a
couple of schoolgirls out looking for prom dresses. We would both
remain high well into the night from our amazing shopping
experience. We only had time for a quickie before she had to
return home and I had to rush off to work, but the encounter was
intense and electrifying! What a great day!!! Coyright ZZ
