I’m In Love With Hue Skinny Jeanz!
June 29, 2010
You know when you find something fantastic, you want to tell everyone you know? Well, that’s how I feel about Hue’s collection of skinny jeanz.
I’ve shelled out lots of money for the ‘in’ jeans of the season. But, the moment I put these on, I was in love – and they’re only $30.
First, they are as comfortable as wearing leggings. Those designer jeans may look great, but they are rarely really comfortable. Then, I really like the fabric. It’s thick enough so they don’t look like leggings, and they don’t show any VPL’s. The back pockets are sewn on and actually work, and the length is long enough so there is some gathering around the ankle.
Hue makes two styles – the Jeanz Capri legging and the Skinny Jeanz legging. I love both. In fact, truth be told, I bought every color in every style. I wear a size 4 pant. The size small in both styles was perfect. My two daughters, ages 12 and 14 could both fit in the extra small.
The best part is that when I wear them, I get stopped and told how terrific my jeans look. Perfect strangers have stopped me and asked me what brand I’m wearing. When they find out they’re actually a legging, they can’t believe it. And again, they’re only $30.
Consider this my gift to you. Run and get a pair. I guarantee you will be back for more.

Yet Another Example Why Men Need to Quit Designing Lingerie
June 21, 2010
A 63 year-old man from Chengdu, China has invented, to great fanfare, a nipple bra. He claims his bra is healthier and a more natural option for women’s nipples.
His absolutely ridiculous premise is that a normal bra today puts pressure on our nipples and thus is uncomfortable. He thinks women need to be liberated from this bondage. So, his bra includes a bump in the cup where he thinks your nipple should go.
First, has any woman ever felt nipple-bound? Secondly, most of us don’t walk around with erect nipples all day. This bra would make us look like we are in a constant state of excitement. Third, check out the placement of his "nipple bubble" – anatomically wrong. A woman could wind up with 4 nipple pops – talk about weird. Fourth, wouldn’t it be even more uncomfortable to have our nipples sliding in and out of this crevice? Finally, if not for men, we women wouldn’t even worry whether our erect nipples might be showing or not.
Turn about is fair play. Let’s invent a men’s brief with prominent pockets on each side for them to stuff their balls in. Makes the same amount of sense.

2010 Undie Award Winners Are In!
June 12, 2010
With over 30,000 votes cast, the Undie Awards for men and women’s underwear are in. For the 4th year, men and women have voted on their favorite styles which we present along with our Select winners. Select winners are staff picks which highlight smaller brands or up-and-coming styles. For the 1st time, a raceback bra, Vanity Fair Body Sleeks Flexi Back Front Close, won favorite overall bra for average figures. In another surprise, a brief–Bali Skimp Skamp Brief 2633, which was 2008’s favorite brief–won for best overall panty. So here they are–this year’s winners.
This year’s overall winning bra for the average figure is Vanity Fair Body Sleeks Flexi Back Front Close, Racerback Bra 75263. Everyone agrees that that the seamless cups are invisible under clothing and that the raceback design provides great support.
This year’s overall winning bra for full figure is Goddess’s Keira Banded Underwire Bra 6090. Customers love how comfortable it is along with its perfect fit. This bra is designed for maximum support and comes in sizes 36DD-46N.
One of our best sellers, and the 2008 winner for best brief, Bali Skimp Skamp Brief 2633, is this year’s overall favorite panty. With its great fit and generous coverage, this is Bali’s best-selling panty in the US.
The 2010 overall winner for shapewear, Flexees Fat Free Dressing Tank Top 3266, does double duty as both outerware and shapewear. Wear it as a tank top while the hidden liner smoothes and shapes the tummy.
In the voting for men’s favorites, the 2010 Undie Award winner for best boxer is making its second appearance as the top choice. Calvin Klein’s Slim Fit Woven Boxer U1513 is slim-fitting without the excess fabric of some boxers. But it doesn’t cling like boxer briefs. Voters love the soft cotton fabric too.
You can see all of the 2010 Undie Award winners and Select winners for both men and women by visiting The Undies. And it’s never too early to vote for your faves for 2011.
