Lingerie Made With Balloons
September 22, 2008
Here’s a unique idea – lingerie made from balloons! American designer and balloon enthusiast, Steven Jones (39) has invented a totally unique style of lingerie. Forget lace and silk, Jones creates bras and bottoms from twisting balloons together. He even makes the straps and bikini strings from long rubber balloons. For more on this, see the YouTube video of Jones making this brown and blue bra and bikini. Now this idea of women wearing balloons is not a new one. Burlesque shows of the 19th century frequently used balloons during striptease performances. These extremely talented female performers would cover their costumes with balloons. Then, with a hat pin, artfully dance around the stage while strategically popping balloons until all were deflated and the performer exposed. 
Jennifer Michelle, President of a Little Lingerie Company, has outlined in her blog how to update this sexy idea. First, strapless bras work best. Buy balloons sold as "water balloons" since they are small. When whip-stitching the balloons to your lingerie, keep in mind that your lingerie will stretch. I suggest attaching the balloons with small safety pins for simple attachment and a more controlled placement. Michelle also recommends mixing the balloons with ostrich feathers for a more theatrical effect. So, if you’re looking for some new way to seduce your partner, give this a try. Pick some fun striptease music, and find an old-fashioned hat pin. However, give some thought to where and when… your little routine could get a bit noisy.

Victoria’s Secret V-string – It’s really a Crotchless Panty.
July 23, 2008
I read recently that a 52 year old woman here in the United States is suing Victoria’s Secret. The reason? While trying to put on one of their V-strings, some decorative metal item popped off and ended up giving her corneal trauma. Her name is Macrida Patterson, she’s a Los Angeles Traffic Officer, and she’s wanting unspecified monetary damages.
Now, I consider myself a bit of an authority on lingerie, and I had never heard of a V-string. So, this article piqued my curiosity more from a technical perspective. What on earth was this garment she was trying to put on?
I found my answer when searching on Victoria’s Secret’s website. a V-string is just is just their clever new name for a crotchless panty. Or, to be more specific, it’s a split crotch panty – most crotchless underwear on the market today is in reality a skimpy panty with a vertical slit going down the center from the front to back. Though all but one style has now been taken off their site, I find it interesting that Victoria’s Secret has the little secret of selling rather erotic lingerie, and soft pedals it by calling it something else. Given their primary customer is in her teens and 20’s, exposing this fact in Officer Patterson’s lawsuit might just cause VS to rethink their marketing strategy.
