What is Sexy Lingerie?
May 27, 2008
A friend of mine once told me that his now ex-wife used to sleep in turtlenecks. Okay, I think we all agree that’s not sexy lingerie. A girlfriend of mine bought a chopper bra to wear on her boyfriend’s birthday. The next day she squealed with delight as she recounted his reaction. Clearly, that was sexy lingerie for him. Her boyfriend, in kind, surprised her by wearing a thong for her on her birthday. She did not find it sexy at all! Sexy lingerie is definitely in the eye of the beholder.
One person can find a garment like crotchless panties sexy while someone else will find them disgusting. One may find sheer lingerie sexy,
and another prefers lace. So, how does one navigate this sexy lingerie minefield when trying to buy their partner a sexy piece of lingerie?
Here are a few guidelines. First, black is always safe. The color is sexy, but also slimming. Everyone feels good in black. Next, err on the more conservative side with your first purchase. Don’t start with chopper bras and crotchless panties. Begin with a sexy yet pretty negligee with lace and matching panties. Float that balloon first. Based on the reaction and feedback, you can move up the "risque" meter to sheerer and more revealing items. And, of course, there are costumes…, but that should come later.
As for men and giving them sexy underwear items, most men I’ve polled say "don’t bother." They’re an easy sell frankly, preferring to wear nothing. After all, that’s what they’re working towards getting you to.

New Pussycat Dolls Lingerie Collection
May 12, 2008
During Los Angeles Fashion Week in March 2008, The Pussycat Dolls – inspired lingerie line was a surprise hit. Designed by the founder of the Pussycat Dolls band, Robin Antin, the collection received several thumbs up from major LA fashionistas.
The group, known for their skimpy lingerie-like costumes and overtly sexy moves, is now putting its reputation on an equally sexy and skimpy line of lingerie. Sean "Puffy" Combs and Quincy Jones were just some of the celebrities at the fashion show.
The collection first featured micro-mini skirts with corset, graffiti-covered bra and panty sets, leopard-printed pieces and many lace-up ensembles. Then a frilly, ribbon trimmed and ruffly collection emerged with very sheer sets and a sailor inspired theme. Antin summed up the show by saying "It’s feminine and it’s edgy, just like the Pussycat Dolls." The first collection is titled "Shhh" because Astin wanted a word to sum up "Our little secret."

Hanky Panky Thongs – What’s All the Fuss About?
April 02, 2008
On June 18, 2004, the Wall Street Journal posted an article on their front page about thongs "as soft as butter." And from that day forward, Hanky Panky jumped from a small boutique line of lingerie into the mainstream. They sell more than 3 million thongs a year.
Gale Epstein and Lida Orzeck are co-owners of the Hanky Panky brand out of New York City. Intially a lounge and sleepwear manufacturer, Gale, the designer became fascinated with some stretch lace trim samples she received from a supplier. She fashioned a waistband out of it, and attached a thong shape to it, and their now-famous Hanky Panky thong was born.
When you ask Gale and Lida about thongs, they have quite a bit to share. They feel they have been able to convert so many women into wearing thongs because they overcame the biggest obstacle — they designed a thong that was both sexy and comfortable.
So, here’s Gale and Lida’s advice when looking for a comfortable thong.
Step 1: Face your fears. Women must get beyond their mental block about how they’ll look in it. "If you judge the appropriateness of any garment you wear by backing into a mirror in a brightly lit room to examine every square inch of your posterior, you probably won’t have a stitch in your wardrobe" say the two. Instead they suggest treating yourself a little more kindly and getting beyond the judgment stage.
Step 2: Find the thongs made in the softest and most comfortable fabric. Gale chose streachable lace when designing their thongs because it is so forgiving, adjusts to your size, moves with you, and yet is beautiful. So, pick up the thong, make sure it is very lightweight and feels soft everywhere, including the trim. Then, stretch it. A thong should not have a binding edge of elastic.
Step 3: Find a gusset that fits. The gusset is the lining of a thong. It must be cotton. But most important, the gusset area shouldn’t be too short or too narrow. The gusset must be wide enough, soft enough and non-bulky enough to lay lat against your body when stretched. The sides of the gusset must also not roll in on the sides; otherwise you’re straddling an uncomfortable ridge of fabric.
Step 4: Buy one, wash it, and wear it. After your test drive, evaluate the comfort. If there was some part of the thong that gave you discomfort, figure out what it was. Then, use this thong as a guide for purchasing your next trial thong.
The Hanky Panky ladies feel that following these simple 4 steps will get you to your goal of finding a comfortable and sexy thong you’ll want to wear for every day.
