What to Wear Under See-Through Dresses
May 31, 2011
Well, the answer is "SOMETHING!" Have you noticed all these sheer dresses showing up on red carpets lately? How about these cut-out dresses like this one on JLo?
Is this really all that sexy? My mind instantly jumps to concern over a seam or piece of fabric accidentally moving and creating a TMI moment.
Here’s another example of what not to wear. At the Cannes Film Festival Mallika Sherawat arrived at the screening of "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" wearing a sheer black gown and obvious black panties underneath.
The solution is really two-fold. First, try and resist the look altogether and find something classy to wear. But, if shock treatment is what you want, at least give everyone’s eyes a tease by wearing shapewear or lingerie in the same color as your skin tone.

Public Service Message Posted in Your Underwear?
May 22, 2011
I always enjoy seeing a quirky solution to a public problem. So, this is my new favorite. The Brazilian Government just passed a bill requiring underwear manufacturers to add a warning label to all bras, panties, and men’s underwear about the importance of getting screenings for breast, uterine and prostate cancer respectively – yes a specific warning for each type of underwear! Oh, and for good measure the bill also threw in that all adult women’s underwear should have the suggestion that they make sure their partner use condoms. That’s right, not the men’s underwear, but the women’s. So, Brazil feels it’s the women who need to be the gatekeepers of condom use.
No, this hasn’t become law just yet – the president of Brazil has not yet signed it. But, it’s telling that this bill has been floating around in their congress since 1999. And a lot of thought has clearly gone into it. For example, realizing that this is a lot of information to put on a lingerie tag (after all, Brazilians are known for their skimpy underwear), an amendment was written to only require these warnings be printed on underwear packaging. But, thinking about this in a practical sense, doesn’t this defeat the purpose? The packaging is quickly discarded–the wearer never sees the warnings again.
Underwear and lingerie is big business in Brazil. They have over 6,000 manufacturers who make more than 2.8 billion pieces of underwear. And HerRoom and HisRoom have several brands coming from Brazil. LZ at HerRoom, for example. So, don’t be surprised to see this warning coming to a piece of underwear near you!

Lindsay Lohan’s “Bra-Free Lifestyle”
May 17, 2011
She’s young and has a beautiful bust line. But, she’s been seen out all too often bouncing along without any bra support. Now rumors about her lack of support are suggesting that her career could be impacted, should her breasts begin to sag.
So, here’s the reality about breasts and sagging. Breasts do not have muscles that you can exercise to make them firm and supported. Rather, breasts are held in place by ligaments called "Cooper’s ligaments." Gravity, bouncing and walking around without breast support will, over time, cause these ligaments to stretch. It’s these stretched-out ligaments that cause your breasts to sag. And, Hollywood does not like their starlets to have anything but perfect-looking breasts in nude scenes – which is the kind of movie opportunities Lindsay is being offered these days.
A perfect case in point is Kate Winslet’s Academy Award winning performance in "The Reader" where she had several nude scenes. I heard more than one man comment that she had "lost her rack." Shortly afterwards, Kate announced that she will no longer do nude scenes… I wonder why?
So Lindsay Lohan, get some support!
