Behind the scenes of a Pinup photo shoot at Deadly is the Female

We had a photo shoot for the website on sunday - shooting brand new goodies from Stop Staring! Trashy Diva, Pinup Girl, Esther Williams and SO much more.

We like to keep you all updated so if you are a Vine user, you might have spotted our behind the scenes videos. If not, we've collected them all below so you don't miss out on the glamour or hilarity!


This is Daisy who was our 60's sex kitten for the day. She is wearing the Monica Dress in Turquoise.




This is Katie, who we styled to look more 1940s and she is in the brand new Honey Dress in purple (coming soon to the website)



Also in brand new Trashy Diva, Gracie, our 50's doll, is modelling the Trixie Dress in Peacock (online soon) with a raspberry chiffon petticoat. She said she felt like a My Little Pony - an excellent style icon we think!

Back to Daisy now...



This time she is in the brand new Green Velvet Classic 50's swimsuit. Again this isn't yet online (this week hopefully!) but you can see the rest of the collection here.

Photoshoots at Deadly are a lot of hard work but also just so much fun!



This short clip shows Katie in the brand new Stop Staring Grand Dress - available now!

The final look we captured was Gracie dressed as a classic 50's style sailor girl pinup...



Here she is in the (new and not yet online) Sally skirt paired with the Lauren Shirt in White by Pinup Couture.

Photos were by Kevin Mitchell and Hair and Makeup by Lolita Noir. Huge thanks to them both and of course our beautiful models, Daisy, Katie & Gracie.

Lauren at Lolita Noir is also a big Vine fan - she captured a bit of the feel behind the scenes....



We couldn't have a photo shoot without having an outtake! It was a long day with lots to get through. Daisy decided to speed things up with a quick petticoat change - here is what happened...


We hope you have enjoyed your tour behind the scenes of our pinup photo shoot. If you use Vine be sure to look us up - search for Deadly Female and Lolita Noir!

Recent press for Deadly is the Female

We have been rubbish at keeping our blog updated recently, we must try harder. 

To get us back into the swing of things, here is some of the press we've been in over the last little while. 

Today our tiki-tastic Bamboo Bags were features in Glamour.com's Top 50 Beach accessories. 



Sadly they used a slightly older photo and the bags we have in stock have a paler pink flower but they are JUST as fabulous. 

 

Our Sunglasses have been getting a lot of love too. They have been in the Daily Express (twice!), Closer Magazine, Diary of a Clothes Horse, My Daily, Emerald Street AND Reveal!

Holly Golightly Sunglasses in Tortoiseshell in The Daily Express

Holly Golightly Sunglasses in Tortoiseshell in Closer

All About Eve Sunglasses on Dairy of a Clothes Horse

Kitty Sunglasses in Tortoiseshell on Emerald Street

All About Eve sunglasses in tortoiseshell on My Daily

Kitty Sunglasses in Black in Reveal Magazine

All of our sunglasses are £10 a pair! - click here to see the whole collection.


 We are also over the moon that 2 of the contributing authors to this summer's must read holiday book Sunloungers are wearing Deadly dresses.

Here Ilana Fox is in a Paris Dress in Lilac. Doesn't she look like an absolute doll?


And here is Lucy Lord in the Poppy Dress, looking just beautiful


If the book (available from July 1st) is half as much fun as the promo photo shoot looks, it should be fabulous!


So there you have it, a little update about what has been keeping us out of trouble over the last few weeks! 

We have also had lots of exciting deliveries, some of which have made it straight onto the website in our New In section and some of which we are shooting this weekend - so watch this space...

This competition is open to entries worldwide - visit our page & just click 'Like' - https://www.facebook.com/DeadlyIsTheFemale

2 Post a photo of yourself in your favourite 'Deadly' purchase on to the Deadly is the Female Facebook page. 
It can be from the shop or the website and it can be from any season - it doesn't have to be something we currently have in stock. It can be a dress, shoes, lipstick, whatever you like as long as you bought it from Deadly.

3 Tell us why it is your favourite Deadly purchase. 
When you are uploading your photo you can add in your reason why you love it so. 
Does it make you feel like a million dollars? Did you wear it to your wedding? Do men fall at your feet? It doesn't matter why - we just want to know what makes it special to you! 

And that is it! You must complete all 3 steps to be entered into the competition.

We haven't yet set an end date but we will post updates on the Facebook page, so please check back to stay up to date. 

We will pick one winner based on the photo and the reason why they love their Deadly purchase combined. 
This winner will be able to choose a 50's style dress from ANY of the styles available (in their size at the time the winner is announced).

PLUS....
At the same time we will also have a lucky dip from all the entries and whoever we pick will get a Handbag of their choice - again subject to availability!

The image above is the winning entry from our last competition. The beautiful Ruby in a Magenta Honey Dress, Red Petticoat and even a Rose ring in April 2012.

We are SO excited to see your entries this year! 

And a final note - please feel free comment on each other posts & photos but keep it friendly and positive. Any mean comments are just unnecessary and will be deleted.

 Winners will be notified through Facebook & given 7 days to reply with a choice. If we do not hear within that time a new winner will be announced.

Deadly in the Mail on Sunday & Mail Online thanks to Nigella Lawson and our Red Wiggle Dress!

Last week Deadly owner Claudia was interviewed by Angella Johnson about Nigella's Red Wiggle Dress for the Mail on Sunday and some of their conversation has been included in articles in the Mail on Sunday (27th Jan 2013) and on the Mail Online!

The article is full of praise for Nigella and our little red dress!

"The scarlet design evoked the most glamorous aspects of Fifties fashion – and immediately invited comparisons with Marilyn Monroe’s style and traffic-stopping curves."

"Classic curves: Nigella Lawson's hourglass figure was enhanced thanks to this figure-hugging frock"


We are so pleased Susanna Constantine of Trinny and Susanna talks about the dress in the article too. She is quoted as saying

"Nigella looks stunning. This dress does everything to show off her luscious figure without falling into the trap of trash. It’s not like she has laid out her wares, yet we know she is all woman. Curvy women must honour their bodies by showing them off like this."

Not bad for a tiny West Country store hey?!

Lots of you have been busy buying your very own Deadly Red Wiggle Dresses so stock is starting to run low again... If you have fallen in love with this timeless look we recommend that you don't hang around!

We'll be getting more in early next month along with a black version. Also please be sure to take a look at our other fabulous fifties inspired dresses - we always select dresses which will help enhance your curves and make you feel (at least) a million dollars!

And don't forget you can keep up to date with stock levels, new items & all our gossip through our Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and by signing up to our newsletter!

Nigella wear's her Deadly Red Wiggle Dress in the Mail Online

We are SO excited that Nigella Lawson is wearing the red wiggle dress that she bought from us again. 




This time she is promoting her new US TV series 'Taste' which airs on the 22nd of January. 

The Mail Online had a whole piece on how fabulous Nigella is looking and how wonderful the dress is - well of course we agree! It seems like you did too as this dress promptly sold out today!

We are trying our very best to get some more of this fabulous dress back in stock as quickly as possible and promise to keep you posted. 

If you'd like to be added to the waiting list please email info@DeadlyistheFemale.com and let us know your size. 
To check the best fit for you - click the sizes tab just above the item description.

We still have this dress in stock in black and lots of other similar 50's style wiggle dresses - be sure to take a peek!

Below is the article from the Mail Online... You'll spot Nigella looking fabulous in her Deadly red dress  more than once!


In the article they go on to decscribe how Nigella's Red Dress "accentuates her waspish waist" and praise it for showing off her curves. 

You may notice we are more than a little bit excited! We hope the show airs over here in the UK too.
