so… every few years, i stress out when one of our designers wants to move on in life and pursue other projects… but these last changes have come pretty easily. (Congratulations to Sylvia and Jessica on pursuing their art careers!) we have two new designers on our team! Crystal Lopez and Winter Rosebudd (swear its her real name… its on her ID) joined our team the last few months and are ROCKING the new clubwear, burlesque, and costume line!

Crystal and i have been friends since, oh… 7th grade and i finally got her to come to the dark side… her funky, abstract artwork and experience as a makeup artists bring a new perspective on our line… also, her OCD on neatness is handy so that our design studio isnt a fire hazard anymore.

Winter has a bit of a pedigree in this industry… She spent 16 years at Trashy Lingerie and well, through a mutual friend, we hit it off right away. in my 14 years growing up in this industry, i never met or got near Winter… but one 2 hour phone conversation bout life, boyfriends, designing, clothes we like/dont like, people we like/dont like and food, we decided that we’re long lost sisters with different color hair.

if you’re ever in the City of Industry, stop by our office… the room with overflowing racks of panties would be our design room.

HOPEFULLY, everyone’s got a copy of their new 2009 COSTUME catalog already. We just release the 2009 LINGERIE catalog last week. Contact info@legavenue.com if you don’t have yours yet. Melissa will send you a copy! 

We have over 100 new halloween costumes and tons more lingerie including a new BRIDAL line. We’ve also greatly expanded the Plus Size selection in both catagories.

ready to ship orders

                So far so good… We’re doing great on shipping this year. First batch of 7/15, and 8/1 orders have gone out on time. We’re working on 8/15 and re orders. We’ve got about 90% of our inventory in. Place re orders early this year. We didn’t order as heavy this year as last year and its a friday Halloween! Hope set up’s going well for everyone!
