From time to time, I report on the other stuff that Chris and I get up to, writing, classes, and such that are not precisely related to this Licking Non-Vanilla podcast (which you can find here and here). We try and keep busy…gamely employed…the dull organ we call a brain spinning best it can. In this regard, one of the clients I write for is the supremely talented, super-dooper nice, too-cool-for-her-own-good (and doesn’t even know how cool she is) exceedingly smart (even for a girl…alright everybody, take it down a notch, I was only being funny with that last ‘even for a girl’ statement!), Dawn Mostow of Dawnamatrix Designs. Based in Atlanta, Dawn creates stunning latex couture for private clients, commercials, catalogs, runway, and magazines, and people like Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, for movies like “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2″ and for a just aired episode of DC’s “Doom Patrol.” Just recently, Dawn provided her Latex Lux Bra to Mulatto, for a photoshoot that the 21-year-old rapper had in Atlanta.
Mulatto (real name Alyssa Michelle Stephens) released her debut album, Queen of Da Souf this month, as well as dropping the video for her song “Muwop” (see the video here), featuring rapper Gucci Mane. Mulatto is undoubtedly one of the most popular rising lady rap stars on the scene, and even appears in Cardi B’s “WAP,” which you pretty much have to have been living under a rock (or quarantined too tightly) to have not heard about, let alone seen. Her songs are tough and cool, videos super sexy, and she champions female empowerment…and like lots of modern-day divas, Mulatto has a very cool fashion sense.
‘Cool-as-school’ I should say, with her stylists Tabitha Sanchez and Todd White contacting Dawn for her most recent shoot.
Ok, I’ll admit I am living more than slightly vicariously through Dawnamatrix Designs here, as I do when Chris reports on some new cool gig or some science fiction author he’s met. I’m just one of those people who take such pleasure in the accomplishments of the people I know and care for, and I thought this 3/4 or even more degree-of-separation relation was something worth writing about. And I am so happy for Dawn.
