Welcome to a new feature at the Chateau: Etsy Highlights, where each week we type in The Word Of The Day and see what handmade weirdness the search engine spits back.
Let’s kick this feature off with latex, because that’s always interesting.
First, a posture collar. The rubber takes it forward into a futuristic material while the roses take it back with a sweet retro touch. From HMS Latex.
Actually, rubber roses were all over the place in the search results – on hair barrettes, shoe clips, here they’re perched atop a veiled cocktail hat, the perfect finish to a 40’s latex outfit. From Kaori’s Latex Dreams.
And here, a rose adorns a cute little evening bag. Also good with a fetish outfit, or to jazz up the real vintage deal with an unexpected bit of shine. From OohLaLatex.
And for the whole shebang, a pairing of Victorian evil-queen puffery updated with racy stripes. From Peccatus.
Just because I said latex, doesn’t mean I said pretty. Here we have half a human body, “every haunted house needs one of these laying around.” From GDragonHeart2.Have suggestions for future highlights? Leave ‘em in the comments.

I’m not a seller myself, but am putting in a request for the etsy seller “ToxicVision” if you haven’t already gotten a look. Sharon Toxic is an incredible self-taught designer with a very glam-metal style. Every spandex/leather fan should know of her!
