Guest Vendors at the New Location!

Well I've promised that I would blog about the two guest vendors who will also be at RGK's new location. In the interest of full disclosure, both of these designers are very good friends without whom I probably wouldn't really be able to have done what I do.

They are both amazing women who are incredibly talented makers of jewelry and accessories. If I'm not wearing one of my own piercings or necklaces, I'm usually wearing one of theirs.

Velvety Avro is owner and creator of piercings and clothing for her business, Alpha-Delta designs. I can't think of an accessory Vel hasn't made. She's done lip, eyebrow, nose, nipple and belly piercings. She makes a great line of latex clothing (which are among the best I've seen, I have to say) and has a line of clothing called Dirty Girlz and Dirty Boyz which are also very detail-rich and meticulously put together. Her location at RGK's main store features mostly her piercings (which are "action-scripted" so you can emote with them), but you can find her other locations right in her picks under her profile.

Shayne Fairey is my friend of many years who I have grown to think of as my "Sissypoo." Please continue to read after you are done wretching. Ok. Now, she has some really great pieces that I know you will enjoy. She has started off with mostly women's accessories like belly and lip piercings, chokers, rings etc., but she has recently created a few pieces for the guys that has really been impressive! One of our guy friends mentioned to her that he was having a hard time finding a guy's bracelet that was guy-ish, so she pulled one together! And it turned out great. From there she whipped up a choker for men AND one for women. She's really tough on herself, but that's probably why her stuff looks as great as it does. She's not happy with what she makes until it's perfect -- and even then, it's not good enough to her. The mark of a real artist!

My descriptions of these two designers' wares really don't do them justice. The only way to realy see what they have to offer is for you to check them out yourselves.

Please be sure to stop by when RGK's new location opens THIS WEEKEND! As the date approaches, we'll announce a fun event that is planned to help celebrate the grand opening of the new location.

Stay tuned to this blog!
