How it all Began Hi, I’m Isabel Garrett, the designer of Body Webs. For many years I was a toy and game designer. (Anyone out there remember the “Whoopsie” doll or “VCR Clue”?) But my own favorite fun was dressing up in outrageous clothes and going out to boogie. In 1990 I made myself a sliced up bikini costume for a futuristic theme dance. People went nuts over it! Everybody wanted one! I made more and the Body Web was born. Round about that time I met Archie - a great old dude who was retiring from his pet shop business in New Jersey. He was really cute and had a big motorhome (the secret fantasy of this New Yawk city slicker). We ran away to Florida and made Webs by the pool. That summer I brought them to the Lifestyles (swingers) Convention in Vegas and later to Dressing for Pleasure (fetish fashion ball) in NY. ( major culture shock for Archie). By then we had dresses and catsuits too.

Some guy stops at our table and says “Bikers would like them things”. (Thanks, whoever you are.) So in June of ‘91 we brought Body Webs to the Harley Rendezvous in upstate NY. That motorhome sure came in handy. Since Archie was gonna be helping at the booth, I made him an outfit too. The girls loved him and everyone loved Body Webs! We both loved the bikers and the feeling was completely mutual! "So where’s this Sturgis place?” we asked.


Well, we went to Sturgis and Daytona, Myrtle Beach and Laconia, Key West and Cherokee and Chilicothe. Archie, who turned out to be the world’s greatest roadie, became a cultural icon - strutting down Main Street, flirting with the girls and getting photographed at least a million times. I became the Web Lady - dressing thousands of wonderful people, cracking jokes and doing my best to help folks stop obsessing about their bodies and have some fun!

Archie and I both live in Florida, 75 miles apart. We’re better friends than ever now and he still comes to all the shows. Body Webs is a cottage industry in a resort community. I’ve got my own motorhome and a computer (Yay MacIntosh!) - which brings us to the here and now. This running all around the country is getting kinda tiring. and there’s still a Whole Wide World to Web. (pun totally intended) So now, here we are, dot com.
