Missbehave's premiere issue is out now and there is a nice write up about Lady
Leisure in there. Give it up to Sara Moskovitz, from Missbehave, for writing my
favorite quote of all time "Lady Leisure's petite, golden, kicks charm dangling
on my editor's neck looked so boss I almost ganked her for the chain." Nice. I'm
lovin' the enthusiasm!
NEW! Thrown Sneaker Chain and Pump version is now available in solid 14k gold
and sterling silver. They will be made to order, so delivery time will be 2-3
weeks, but it'll all be worth it when your friends are sweatin' you. To order
the 14k gold or sterling silver, email me directly at helen@ladyleisure.com. Get
yours!

Hey Everyone!
I know, it's been a while, right? Big news! Lady Leisure will be mentioned in
the debut issue of Missbehave magazine, which should be out on the newsstands in
August. Mass Appeal is bringing us a ladies version of Mass Appeal called
Missbehave. I'm really excited even though it's probably a little mention, but
it's all good... here's a sneak peak.
Lady Leisure is honored to participate as a sponsor for B-Girl Be: A
Celebration of Women in Hip-Hop summit. "The B-Girl Be event is an all
encompassing female inspired Hip-Hop event that touches on all aspects of
Hip-Hop..." Sorry for the short notice, but if you're in the Minneapolis area,
it's going on this week, June 29th-July 2nd. More info can be found here
.
This is long overdue, but I wanted to thank everyone that came out to
support Lady Leisure at the Opening of Habana Outpost last month. Check out the
first and true Lil' Lady of Leisure, Miss Nova, chillin' with the popsicle necklace. Inspiring me to do a children's line.
I wanted to thank Miss Info for repping Lady Leisure hard at the Funkmaster
Flex Car show over the weekend. Miss Info is wearing the 'Saranghe' tank with brass knuckles. 'Saranghe' means love you in Korean. Check it out, Miss Info and Jim Jones. This lady is always doing big things, check out her book, Bling Bling: Hip Hop's Crown Jewels, introduction by Ludacris.
Till the next update!

New York! New York!
Thanks for the love and support you showed us at the festival. The weather was
beautiful and we had a great time, pics are coming soon. For those that
couldn't make it out to the festival, I debuted a few tank top designs, hotness,
if I do say so myself. Heather Park, wore the ‘Saranghe’ tank for her very
soulful performance. ‘Saranghe’ which means ‘love you’ in Korean makes a
beautiful pairing with brass knuckles. If you're Korean or Asian or just have
immigrant parents, y'all know what I'm talking about. I'm thinking of naming it
‘Tough Love’, lemme know what you think. Also, my girl, Ishle Yi Park, poet,
performer, and beautiful spirit, teamed up with Lady Leisure to create a very
special tank with an excerpt from her writings. Ishle's writing
inspire me and will inspire you, promise. Visit Ishle here.
On a side note, I'd like to big up The Bag Lady,
Ladykickz, and Freshnessmag for their kind mention of Lady Leisure on their
sites. Thanks for your support!
