Lunatic Femme: A New Dimension in Lingerie That Ignites the Soul

Lunatic Femme

Lunatic Femme, a trailblazing lingerie brand, is shaking up the industry with its unique approach to design and empowerment. More than just boosting confidence or enhancing allure, Lunatic Femme is about igniting the soul, stirring what’s latent, revealing the hidden, and inspiring self-discovery. Proudly designed and manufactured in the heart of New York City, Lunatic Femme is contributing to the city's rich history of fashion innovation. Not only does Lunatic Femme redefine traditional beauty standards as an innovative lingerie brand, but it also serves as a driving force for soul expression. Whether you're feeling shy or bold, bored or stressed, there's something for you. From multi-way bodysuits that speak volumes to changeable, detachable harnesses that channel fierceness, removable ties that ignite passion to silk and lace that foster connection, Lunatic Femme isn't just about inclusivity—it's about guiding you on a journey of erotic self-discovery. A defining aspect of their lingerie is its adjustable nature, which breaks away from the standard small, medium, and large sizes. To address individual needs like needing more room in the hips or having a longer torso, an extra two inches of space on the straps have been thoughtfully included to provide a tailored fit, boosting comfort, confidence, and exploration. Plus, many of their pieces, like the Boa High-Waisted Panty and the Champagne Room 33 Lace-Up Bodysuit, come with detachable ties. These ties not only provide additional room, but also open up a world of playful possibilities. They can be used for adventurous and sensual play, wrapped around the body for harness-like looks or compression, or applied to the body as a silky means of play, discovery, or style. This unique feature sets their lingerie apart, offering a blend of practicality, versatility, and a touch of kink, ensuring each wearer can express their soul with the pieces in a way that’s uniquely their own. It’s no surprise that the philosophy behind Lunatic Femme goes beyond just creating luxurious lingerie. It's a brand that champions the power of self-love, the freedom of soul expression, and the joy of self-discovery. Lunatic Femme encourages individuals to explore their style, ignite their creativity, and feel empowered in their own skin. In a recent interview with renowned sexologist Dr. Jess, the company's founder, Stacy Baker, shared her vision and mission for the brand. Stacy emphasized the importance of challenging conventional beauty standards and creating a space where individuals can play while expressing themselves and their sensuality authentically. “We’re a brand that recognizes and celebrates that you’re not one thing — and so your lingerie shouldn’t be either,” said Stacy. “It should be a pleasure zone where you get to explore and express the full-blown breadth and depth of all you are, in all your moments and moods.” With sustainability at the forefront of their values, Lunatic Femme uses ethically sourced, non-violent silk and ensures fair labor practices throughout their supply chain. By prioritizing sustainability, the brand aims to make a positive impact not only on their customers, but also on the environment. In the words of Stacy, “guilt has no place when you’re unapologetically sexy.” Lunatic Femme's commitment to inclusivity, soul expression, and sustainability has garnered attention from fashion enthusiasts and industry experts alike. Infusing designs that captivate with a commitment to social responsibility, Lunatic Femme is not only poised to become a leading force in the lingerie industry, but also a catalyst for igniting self-discovery among its clientele.

thread beauty Names Recording Artist Saucy Santana as First Celebrity Brand Ambassador

thread beauty

thread beauty, the pioneering Gen-Z focused cosmetics brand continues to break beauty boundaries by announcing its first-ever Celebrity Beauty Ambassadorship with the viral music sensation and influential LGBTQIA+ advocate, American Hip-Hop Artist Saucy Santana, to promote affordable, inclusive beauty, and redefine beauty standards for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities. As a multi-hyphenate Artist and LGBTQIA+ icon, Santana embodies the fearless spirit of authenticity that thread beauty epitomizes. Beginning his career in the music industry as the Celebrity Makeup Artist to the City Girls, Saucy Santana ’s unapologetic personality, fearless approach to self-expression as a LGBTQIA+ musical artist and his viral empowering anthems championing black women, align perfectly with thread beauty 's commitment to making beauty affordable and accessible for all melanated beauty lovers of color and marginalized communities. As one of the few openly queer Hip-Hop Artists in the industry, Santana courageously paves the way for diversity in the music industry, challenging norms and celebrating the beauty of diversity through his artistry and activism. In turn, thread beauty continues to disrupt outdated beauty standards and pushes the envelope to introduce diverse images of beauty to its shelves at exclusive retailer Target. "It's one thing to be the first celebrity face of thread beauty, but to also be the first celebrity face as a black, feminine, gay man will mean so much to my community - especially for boys like me! Within the community, boys that are considered bigger, dark skin, plus-size & feminine don't get a lot of opportunities. So it means a lot to me and speaks volume to who thread beauty is as a brand, that they chose me for this opportunity to show up for my community and make us more visible! And I love that!" shared Saucy Santana Launching in 2022 and created by The Lip Bar Inc CEO & Founder Melissa Butler, thread beauty, the Target-clean and cruelty-free Black-owned and female-founded brand, has been dually focused on delivering multi-use products in a broad range of shades at an affordable price (all products are $8), and championing diversity and challenging traditional beauty norms. By joining forces with Saucy Santana, the influential Rapper and trailblazing figure within the LGBTQIA+ community, thread beauty is furthering its mission to inspire and empower all beauty lovers of color, specifically in the queer community, with self-affirming cosmetics for the girls, guys, theys, thems and everyone in between, to feel not only welcome but also confident enough to unapologetically express their authentic selves. The thread beauty x Saucy Santana partnership serves to strengthen the brand’s commitment to being an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community by further putting their money where their mouth is outside of Pride Month and empowering individuals from all walks of life to celebrate self-love, authenticity, beauty, self-expression and inclusivity through the harmonious fusion of music and cosmetics. Santana’s empowering lyrics encourage his fans to embrace their uniqueness and find strength in their identities, energetically rapping about topics such as self-confidence, body positivity, and overcoming adversity, fostering a sense of empowerment and self-love among his listeners. As a proud ally to the queer community, thread beauty currently donates 15% of every purchase on their brand site to LGBTQIA+ allyship organizations year-round. Saucy Santana is in full support of thread beauty ’s ongoing #takepride campaign, which has been active since June of 2022 and donates to LGBTQIA+ causes, including the LGBTQ Freedom Fund, Black AIDS Institute, The Trevor Project and Joshua Home: An LGBTQ Safe Haven. "Prior to launching thread beauty, we weren't seeing diversity in the beauty space, especially when it comes to men in makeup. thread was very proud to be the first brand to put a man-in-makeup on our main header displays in Target. I know first-hand that representation matters. If there's a little boy out there that wears makeup or wants to wear lip gloss but doesn’t see that in the retail spaces, then there's room for shame or the need to seek validation. I truly believe that without representation, you are left seeking validation, and thread beauty shows up to validate the niches that were not being previously validated - especially in the color cosmetics space. Who better to be the face of a beauty brand championing unapologetic self-expression and genuine authenticity than 'the' Saucy Santana? We are overwhelmed & overjoyed that we get to embark on this first partnership with him." shared thread beauty CEO & Founder, Melissa Butler As the first beauty brand to feature male models and creators in its in-store header visuals at Target, thread beauty’s new campaign images will once again be disrupting ‘the norm’ or ‘standard idea’ of drug store beauty, reinforcing the need for this groundbreaking partnership. Furthermore, due to the brand’s continued focus on diversity and inclusivity, thread beauty 's newly expanded line of “ face it ” complexion sticks, now features the largest shade range of any stick foundation available in store at Target - with an inclusive range of 26 shades and counting! thread beauty is available on threadbeauty.co, Target.com and in Target stores nationwide.
