Hey Los Angeles! We’re coming to you this weekend. Join us at @faultlinebar from 8pm-12am on Friday Dec. 8th for the @dirtylooksnyc Holiday Bazaar feat. performances from Dynasty Handbag and others. We’ll have our new Shibari tees for sale — they won’t last long so don’t delay. We'll have other clothes like tank tops, sweaters and socks also available. Over the weekend (Dec. 9th & 10th) we’ll be tabling at @comicartsla’s #CALA2017 from 10am till 5pm. Admission is FREE! We’ll have everything mentioned above as well as new 2018 calendars, notebooks and graphic novels.

The Shibari Tees are in!!! Now available in pink, black and white -- it's like bondage Neapolitan! This design is an extension of the original tank top. The pattern has been readjusted, so smaller sizes run smaller and larger sizes run much larger. Please be sure to check your measurements. Happy holidays from MASSIVE!!!✌️✌️
We had so much fun at Comic Arts Brooklyn this past weekend. We'll be sharing the love + new shirts at Comic Arts LA (http://www.comicartsla.com/) on December 9th and 10th. Expect the new shirts to hit the web sometime next week.

NEW!!!
Featured in the roll out of our new site are these beautiful notebooks. Featuring Jiraiya’s Best Couple and a tied up hunk from Tagame’s The Silver Flower (田亀源五郎). Use them to jot down all your deepest, darkest, dirtiest secrets...
You can grab them here:
We are so excited to hear that Gengoroh Tagame has made his first plunge into screenwriting. The resulting film Berlin Drifters looks absolutely stunning. From German film producers Jürgen Brüning (the same people who brought you Bruce La Bruce flicks like Raspberry Reich and Otto; or, Up with Dead People) comes a tale of lustful desperation and abandonment for a young Japanese man in the streets of a foreign city.
Read a great review here in The Hollywood Reporter. No news yet on US screenings, but keep an ear out!
Did we mention what a blast we had at RuPaul’s Drag Con NYC this past weekend?!
So much love from our friends and legendary queens alike. We can’t wait for next year.
Jiraiya and Tagame adorned note books! 40 pages to jot down all your deepest darkest secrets…
Online soon – snatch them in person at SPX 2017 this weekend in Bathesda, MD and later in NYC at New York Art Book Fair 2017 @ PS1 Sep 22-24!
