Dress For Your Shape 2008-03-14 12:44:56 Women are bombarded with images of "perfect" bodies that are largely unrealistic. In the lingerie industry, female models appear to have a perfect “hourglass” figure. But in reality, women come in all shapes and sizes. Even models may not be naturally the shape they appear thanks to enhancements, surgery, and photo alterations.
But our shape is what makes each and every woman unique and Read more:Shape
Mary Phelps Jacob 2008-03-14 12:44:46 Since March is Women's History Month, I thought I would learn more about the woman who brought brassieres into being. Mary PhelpsJacob
(self-nicknamed "Polly") was a young New York socialite and descendant of Governor Bradford, the first governor of the Plymouth Colony.
In 1910 Polly wore a sheer evening gown to a social event, but the whalebone from the corset poked out underneath the sheer

History of Men’s Underwear 2008-03-14 12:44:10 It started out with the loincloth. Or as George in the George of the Jungle movie says, “butt flaps.” Which weren’t so great in windy and cold climates . . .
Since supplies of underwear were buried in the tombs of the Egyptians pharaohs, we know they’ve been around for a while. One site said that King Tut was buried with 145 pairs!
The ancient Romans wore a kind of undergarment called a Read more:History

Celebrate Women's History Month! 2008-03-14 11:14:04 Lingerie and Women
in Society
It’s hard to believe that women used to have to dress like this. Throughout history women’s underwear has followed women’s long battle for freedom and social equality.
Perhaps the most influential form of women’s underwear has been the corset. This painful contraption, sometimes made of wood or iron, kept women immobilized for centuries. It made even the simplest Read more:History

Appreciation 2008-02-21 15:08:29 I’ve been working on some new articles for our Lingerie Resources page. One recent one was on the History of Hosiery. With my newfound knowledge, last week I discovered an error in a historical novel set in 1937. The author said the aunt was wearing thick “white nylons.” Sorry, no. Inaccurate. Not in production yet. Rayon stockings were, but this lady would have mostly likely been wearing cotton

Glossary, Lingerie Care
Lingerie Buying Guide, plus How To Use Sexy Costumes and more. Check out our resource page to see what else.
Some people think lingerie is all about sex. Not necessarily so. Depends on the lingerie and the reason for wearing it. Many women just like how it makes them feel feminine. Some just like matching panties and bra. There are some Read more:Basics
What’s her style? 2008-02-21 15:02:56 It’s not just size and color that is an issue when you’re buying lingerie for your sweetie, you need to think about they type of clothing she likes. Would you classify her favorite wear as natural, vintage, elegant or sophisticated, funky, comfy, athletic, flirty, romantic, avant-garde, edgy, or wild? I’m not talking about what she wears to work, but what she wears when she’s free to choose. (Don
Lingerie to love 2008-02-21 14:17:31 This video clip cracks me up. Please watch before you read on.
The clip reminds me of a complaint that some women have, “Why does he want me to wear sexy lingerie when he’s just going to take it off?” You have to remember that guys are visual. They like looking. Make it enjoyable for them to look and they’ll appreciate it. New lingerie can make you both feel sexier. There’s the hint of mystery, Read more:Lingerie
What's new? 2008-02-21 14:14:39 We keep adding new products on our website. Our newest vendors are Coquette and Sensual Mystique.
We’ve also recently added shoes and boots to the site. And see our new vinyl section.
Of course, we have holiday wear, too. Though beware where you put that holiday lingerie. Check out this “Mama’s Santa” video to see why.
Don’t let your gift be a bust 2008-02-21 13:58:08 Buying lingerie for your honey when you’re not sure of her size can be a real problem. If it’s too big, she may feel insulted. If it’s too small, she may just be disappointed. Even if she takes it well, it can delay the pleasure of a gift when you have to exchange it. (Many lingerie stores have strict return policies—ours, too—so make sure you know what they are when buying.)

Don’t forget the details! 2008-02-21 13:54:14 Have you thought about accessorizing your lingerie? Sexy shoes (something our shoppers have requested and we’ve recently added to the site), sexy jewelry, gloves, stockings—all can add to the affect of your outfit.

How to be sexy and warm at the same time 2008-02-21 13:42:35 Brr, January can be such a cold month. Who wants to put on skimpy lingerie and freeze?
There’s always the option of cranking up the heat, but you may be sorry when you get your utility bill. If you have a gas or wood fireplace, lighting it is a fun way to be warm and have a romantic ambiance at the same time.
But don’t forget that unwrapping packages can be fun. Gals, what about wearing a
It’s a Wrap 2008-02-21 12:13:39 Valentine’s Day is just over a month away. If you haven’t made any plans, now’s the time to do so. Instead of lingerie being your main present, use it as wrapping for gifts of chocolate, lotion, tickets to a romantic weekend away, concert, massage gift certificates, etc. I guarantee it’ll be more fun than using a gift box or bag.
Here are some items that would be fun as the outer packaging for

Plan a lingerie picnic 2008-02-21 12:02:00 Another idea, gals, to surprise your guy on Valentine’s—a lingerie picnic set up when he’s not looking.
Spread a cloth on the carpet, unless you’re lucky enough to live in a warm climate, then you could set it up in a secluded area outside.
Take a wine glass or clear vase and fill it with new satin red panties or a red Fishnet Body Stocking.
Artfully drape something shimmery or lacey in a

Happy Valentine’s Day 2008-02-14 14:21:21 The way lingerie has been flying out of this place for the last three weeks, I expect there are some ladies who are getting some pretties today.
But if you’re one of those who FORGOT, instead of dashing out to the store, sit down at your computer and order a gift certificate, so you can give it to her today! Then she can choose her own gift.

Sometimes lingerie is not enough 2007-11-08 10:56:22 I’ve talked to women who say their one-track minded husband can be playing a computer game, watching TV and it’s like they can’t even see their sexily clad wife when she parades by! And these are young men and women!
Other times using lingerie gets the message across, but other issues intrude. Watch this video to see what I mean. Been there with the multiple interruptions.

5 Secrets of Happy People 2008-03-24 17:11:28 Today I read a great article called "The 5 Secrets
of Happy
People". Here's how you can shake off those winter blues and radiate beauty from the inside out! 1) Happy people find their most golden self. In other words, they strive toward excellence based on their unique talents and potential. This is referred to as eudaimonia, and it's beneficial for the body as well as the mind. In a study led by Carol Ryff, PhD at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, women were assessed with psychological tests for eudaimonia . The results revealed that those with high scores weighed less, slept better, and had fewer stress hormones and indications of heart disease than others. 2) They design their lives to bring in joy. Analyze your life; decide what you really want to spend time on, and what you ca
