We are pleased to announce, as of August 1st, 2012, Hilary Specht Coffey is the
new owner of Period Corsets. After 17 years in business, Susan Davis and Becky
Kaufman are excited to be passing the torch to Hilary. For the past 12 years,
Hilary has been an integral part of the company's leadership and growth.
Period Corsets began in 1997 with two corset styles, and since then has created
36 different products, and innumerable custom garments. With the business at an all-time
high and our desire to invest our time in other ventures, Period Corsets® is
ripe to continue thriving with Hilary at the helm; we look forward to seeing
what new places Hilary takes the business.

After posting a few songs to the Internet, the lark turned into a loud buzz, as listeners quickly became fans, enraptured by a sound that feels like The Ronettes singing Nick Cave songs.

One of Cults' songs, "Go Outside," was recently used as music in the latest of MTV's "Supervideos." And watching Dave Franco romance a spectral Emma Roberts
