“Listen to the community’s desires and needs.”

Melancholy Ghost (founder of Seductive Tees & current Miss Missouri Leather) joins YKF to discuss Seductive Tees, a proudly woman-owned, custom in-house print shop launched in 2024. Size-inclusive (XS–5X) and rooted in the LGBTQIA+, leather, and kink communities, the one thing they never print is hate. We talk about starting a community-driven apparel biz, the best damn salmon recipe you’ll ever hear, pot-themed burlesque, and pegging classes!

“Soft shirts resonate.”

In this episode of Your Kinky Friends, Melancholy Ghost shares: The inspiration behind starting Seductive Tees and keeping money in the kink & leather community Creating practical, boundary-respecting designs (like “No hugs in pain”) Early challenges of launching a one-person custom apparel business Body positivity, sensory-friendly soft shirts, and serving plus-size and marginalized communities Using absurdity to fight hate Her personal kinks, including pegging education, deep psychological dynamics, and polyamory What it means to hold the Miss Missouri Leather title and serve the community through education and fundraising Book recommendations for newcomers to BDSM and ethical non-monogamy Fun segments: Would You Rather, rapid-fire kink advice, word association, and YKF mascot brainstorming Future plans including Pride events, Beyond Vanilla, and more Support independent queer & kink-owned businesses.

Seductive Tees is a custom, in house print shop founded in 2024 and proudly woman owned by Melancholy Ghost (she/her/they/them). We’re all about size inclusivity, creativity, individuality, and most of all, making you proud of the statement you wear.

As a small business, Seductive Tees offers affordable custom apparel from XS to 5X because self expression shouldn’t come with a size limit. Whether you want to represent your personality, your community, your favorite obsession, or simply wear something that makes you feel damn good, we’re here to help you find a style that fits you.

As a proud member of the LGBTQIA+, leather, and kink communities, Melancholy Ghost is passionate about creating space for people to express themselves openly, creatively, and unapologetically. Your body, your identity, your community, your statement.

Seductive Tees believes everyone deserves the chance to make their voice heard through what they wear. We proudly support individuality, marginalized communities, and all the beautifully weird people who make the world more interesting.

The one thing we don’t print? Hate. We don’t support individuals or organizations whose goal is to tear down marginalized communities.

Wear what fits. Say what you mean. Be unapologetically you. Shop local, support small businesses that want to benefit you and your communities.
