A few months ago I did a set with Maegan Machine for Bizarre Magazine. Unfortunately, though the magazine loved the images, they weren’t “Raunchy” enough for the magazine. The set was too awesome not to share, so I submitted it to Auxiliary Magazine. The full set was published on their site - http://auxiliarymagazine.com/fashion/2012/05/digital-editorial-archangel/
And I recently received notice that one of the images did in fact make it into Bizarre. So… check out Bizarre to see the one image in print, and the whole set in all it’s glory on the Auxiliary site. ;)

Thank you for the sweet words.. It makes my heart grow 2 sizes <3 The writing is coming along slowly, but surely. I have been attending workshops and taking a lot of notes. As of now Im really just trying to figure out where I want it to take me. Im very proud of my ability to translate thought and imagination into words, its just finding the right outlet that Im having trouble with. Do I want to write editorials? Columns? A book perhaps? At this point Im hoarding info in my brain, waiting for that light bulb to smash over my head. :)
Compared to most models Im already considered curvaceous. My measurements w/o a corset are 34-25-35. However, being a fan of body modification I wanted to pursue an extreme hourglass shape. I started by purchasing a steel boned corset 3” smaller than my actual waist size (I recommend a simple under bust for your first). As women (Im assuming you are female) our biology is made to handle change (i.e. pregnancy). Organs will be rearranged and ribs will be shifted. It can be a painful process.
There are women who wear their corsets 23 hours a day, 7 days a week; only taking it off to shower, but I am not one of those women. I wear mine 10/6. 10 hrs a day, 6 days a week. (I don’t like to feel like my whole life is being consumed by my physical appearance). I have lost weight and improved my posture through corset training as I can only eat small portions while wearing it and slouching is next to impossible. Exercise is ALWAYS beneficial but I would recommend taking it easy on the waist and abs as it can be harder for the shape to form with a tight tummy. Simple walking, running and stepping 30-60 minutes a day will improve your body volumes.
As with anything, research is key. don’t just jump into this because honestly.. its much harder than it seems and it takes loads of self discipline. Also, when it comes to steel boned waist training corsets… YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR and corsets ARE NOT cheap but if you are serious about it… spend the money and have fun watching your body morph.
