Corsets, Corsets, Corsets! 2008-03-28 12:36:33 You voted, and corsets are by far your favorite type of lingerie. And rightly so! Nothing quite shows off your curves (and gives you a knife-free tummy tuck) quite like a corset. But corsets aren't just for the boudoir or wearing under your clothes. They look great with a skinny pair of jeans or a skirt for a night out on the town.Just take a look at this Ariel Inset Corset. Satin and Lace inserts and strategically placed boning make this a stylish, forgiving corset. With reinforced straps, hidden hook-n-eye front and lace-up back, you are sure to look trim and feel great. It looks stunning with a pair of dark jeans.Another great choice is this Celine Sequin Lace Corset paired with a satin skirt. It is made of elagant floral lace and lycra. Gentle boning and shimmering lace-up front are pa Read more:Corsets
April Fool's and Interfering Brassieres 2008-03-31 13:22:05 Tomorrow is April
Fool's Day, and I found the Top 100 April Fool
's Hoaxes of All Time! Here are a few of my favorites.#15: The Case of the Interfering Brassieres. In 1982 the Daily Mail reported that a local manufacturer had sold 10,000 "rogue bras" that were causing a unique and unprecedented problem, not to the wearers but to the public at large. Apparently the support wire in these bras had been made out of a kind of copper originally designed for use in fire alarms. When this copper came into contact with nylon and body heat, it produced static electricity which, in turn, was interfering with local television and radio broadcasts. The chief engineer of British Telecom, upon reading the article, immediately ordered that all his female laboratory employees disclose what type of bra they

Your Votes Are In! 2008-04-04 15:52:44 According to my shape up poll, abs give you the most trouble. This isn't surprising; MSN Health & Fitness says that 84% of women cite the belly, butt and thighs as their biggest problem areas. Using fitness magazines and my own experience, I have come up with some tips that are effective and easy to follow. I hate diets, so I won't expect you to diet either.Next Monday we'll begin this four-week mini-makeover (one post per week). To see all posts about this topic, click on the link for Health and Fitness posts on the left side of the screen. Read more:Votes
Abs, Part I 2008-04-07 14:04:20 What better time to start our four-week abs mini-makeover than taday, on World Health Day? But don't worry, I'm not going to take on the whole world. I have three suggestions to jump-start our path to a trim tummy.1. Cut out alcohol AND all soda! Alcohol has no nutritional value, and it's converted to fat, which translates to tummy trouble. Even diet soda is bad, as artificial sweeteners have been found to stimulate your appetite. I like to sip flavored water instead.2. Get at least 7 hours of sleep each night. When you're sleep-deprived, your body produces stress hormones, which may increase your appetite. 3. Brush your teeth right after you eat to keep from nibbling. Have you ever tried drinking a soda or eating a handful of chips after brushing your teeth? Yuck! Next Monday I'll go ov
Host a Lingerie Party! 2008-04-08 10:22:42 I was just thinking about how much I love lingerie, and how much fun it would be to host a lingerie party for my friends. I found a great site that lists countless lingerie party themes and tips. Parties can center around a certain event, such as an upcoming wedding or birthday, or they can be just for fun.I'm thinking of hosting a "Sex on the Beach" lingerie party, starring sultry swimsuits, glamorous metallic or charmed sandals and bright, summer-inspired lingerie, like this hot camisole set.Before you proceed with planning your own lingerie party, decide on an informality level. Do your guests feel comfortable having a lingerie-only dress code, or would they rather admire lingerie while remaining fully clothed? Either way can be fun. If you are the wild type and your friends are not shy Read more:Lingerie

Unusual Uses For Old Bras 2008-04-11 00:04:08 I went through my lingerie drawer last weekend and threw out bras that I no longer wear. What can you do with a tired, beat-up bra, right? Don't just chuck it in the trash like I did! Right after my "spring cleaning", I read an article called "28 things to do with an old bra" and I regret my hasty disposal of my worn out bras.1. Make it Pretty. Add some lace or sequins or anything that will make it come to life. I like this altered pink bra with pretty butterflies and buttons.2. Donate it. If the bra is in good condition, give it to charity. Breasttalk collects used bras and gives them to women around the world who for some reason don't have a bra. In some countries, women have to choose between feeding their family and buying a bra. 3. Sew it into a Camisole for Support. 4. Make a Purse.
They're Back...Jelly Shoes! 2008-04-11 12:59:55 I have some surprising news for you: Jelly
shoes are making a comeback as a trend this spring! I would never have guessed that this infamous style would return in the 21st century. The new jellies look a bit different from the jelly sandals you might remember from the 80's. They're making their appearance as flats and flip-flops.As a child I remember wearing jellies, and I also remember hating them because they hurt my feet. I suggest that if you do slip some on, make sure you wear either a thin pair of socks or hose with them to prevent blisters. If you like how jellies look but don't want to put up with the pain of wearing them, try these square heel slides . They are clear and have a slight heel, and are slightly reminiscent of jellies. Can't quite bring yourself to revert back to thi
Abs, Part II 2008-04-14 14:58:33 Today I want to tell you about Fitness Magazine's 21-Minute Ab Makeover that will help you build muscle so that next Monday, when we up the cardio, you will be seeing results in your midsection. This routine combines cardio and pilates. There are a total of five ab exercises, followed by a two-minute cardio burst. When I started this routine yesterday, I ran on a treadmill for the cardio burst. You can adapt it to your fitness level, but just make sure that it's challenging enough to have you breathing hard. Repeat the given sequence three times, and it only takes 21 minutes!Keep on following my three suggestions from last week to achieve the best results. I'm headed to the gym as soon as I'm done at work to start working my abs so that I can look good in this little number!
Glamorizing the Ultra-Thin 2008-04-17 10:55:45 In yesterday's edition of The Kansas City Star, I read an interesting story about the fashion industry. A bill adopted by the French Parliament's lower house Tuesday makes it a crime in France to glamorize the ultra-thin. It will attack Web sites that tell anorexics how to starve and could also target the fashion industry. The crack down would include fines of up to $71,000 and three-year prison sentences for offenders who encourage "extreme thinness." In the next few weks this bill will go to the Senate.This bill follows the 2006 anorexia-linked death of Brazilian model Ana Carolina Reston, which prompted efforts throughout the fashion industry to address the health problems of ultra-thin models.French lawmakers and fashion industry members signed a nonbinding charter last week on promoti Read more:Ultra
Pet Owner's Day! 2008-04-18 12:49:00 Did you know today is Pet Owner
's Day? I thought I would share a bit with you about my pets (excuse my departure from lingerie). I have two mischevious dogs and one Psycho Kitty (as my boyfriend calls her).My dog's names are Taz and Zorro. Taz the Pomeranian is aptly named, because he looks a bit like the Tazmanian Devil, and he turns into a tornado of fur whenever anyone tries to leave the house. Zorro the Papillon lives up to his name. He is quick and if you blink, he can have your slice of bacon you left on the table. He knows how to climb chain-link fences and does so whenever I let him in the back yard (but he doesn't run away; he simply explores the neighbor's grass).Taz & ZorroMy cat's name is Keiko, which means "adored one" in Japanese. I chose this name because my best friend
Abs, Part III 2008-04-21 14:52:10 We're already on week three of our four week ab makeover! How are you doing?Now we're increasing the cardio a bit to burn those calories and get rid of body fat! In addition to the 21-minute ab makeover routine from last week, you'll want to do three to five days of cardio a week for 30 to 45 minutes in your THR zone. This includes any type of cardio - doing what you like. So start that spring cleaning, and up the pace by putting on some motivating tunes that will help you both burn calories and get the house clean! Or go for a long walk or jog with your dog. You don't have to go to the gym, and you probably won't want to with the weather warming up so beautifully.Remember, this is a process, so don't get discouraged if you've missed a few workouts or had a few desserts. The goal is to mak
Victoria's Secret in Trouble over Bra Design 2008-04-24 11:00:12 Victoria's Secret is under fire for allegedly ripping off a woman's design for a convertible bra that can be worn 100 ways. Long Island mom Katerina Plew is suing the lingerie powerhouse for stealing her design. Plew patented the bra in 2004 and had scheduled a meeting with Victoria's Secret in 2006 to discuss her design. On her way to the meeting, the company canceled and soon after started selling the new "Very Sexy 100-way strapless convertible bra." Needless to say, Plew was a little ticked and has sued Victoria's Secret for patent infringement.Reuters says that Plew had turned to Victoria's Secret when she realized how much it would cost to produce.Every online blog and story I've read so far expresses a belief without a doubt that Victoria's Secret stole the design.

Abs, Part IV 2008-04-28 14:00:37 We're on our final week of the four week ab makeover, are you starting to see those abs yet? In this final post about abs, I'd like to review what we've been doing for the past three weeks, and end with some final thoughts on toning and weight loss.Week 1: We started making small (but significant) changes to our lifestyles, including cutting out alcohol and soda, getting more sleep and brushing teeth after meals to prevent snack attacks.Week 2: I introduced Fitness Magazine's 21-Minute Ab Makeover routine, which calls for cardio combined with pilates.Week 3: Last Monday we increased the cardio to burn more calories and we talked about how household chores and everyday activities count towards cardio.Today, I'd like to end with a little talk about motivation. I know that sometimes you just
Mother's Day (May 11th) Gift Ideas 2008-05-02 15:15:07 Mother's Day is an important day for all women. In 1912, West Virginia adopted the official holiday; two years later, the U.S. Congress passed a Joint Resolution, signed by President Wilson, establishing a national Mother's Day emphasizing the role of women in their families. Ever since, Mother's Day has been celebrated by Americans on the second Sunday in May.Women often neglect themselves when they have kids, because the hustle of everyday life fills up any extra personal time they might have. I've rounded up a few gifts that I think every mother should take the time to enjoy this Mother's Day. 1. Chocolate! Sweeten the day with some treats from Godiva. On a diet? Then try sending a calorie-free Virtual Chocolate, which is a chocolate-themed eCard with a customizable Mother's Day message
The Bra(g): A Travel Bag For Your Bras 2008-05-05 16:55:44 I just learned about a cool way to travel in style and protect your bras - The Bra(g)! I first read about it on The Lingerie Post. This stylish bag is in the shape of a bra, and will keep your bras safe from crumpling and smooshing during travel. The new Buxom Bra(g) fits up to a G-cup!This innovative creation has generated a buzz in Hollywood and in the press. Golden Globe nominees received the new Spanx product Bra-llelujah packaged inside the Bra(g). The Bra(g) was also featured on The Today Show in January.I love the Bra(g), because I believe that your bras deserve their very own travel bag! I've ruined one too many bras on plane trips to not appreciate this product. I think Lingerie Diva should sell these, what do you think? Read more:Travel
