Blue Monday 11 30 09

Take a new look at a Blue Monday. Actually, it is. From the U.K.'s New Look, their Blossom Empire bra and Sequined Ruched (ruched?)brief in teal blue.

From The Free Dictionary.com:

ruche (rsh)
n.
A ruffle or pleat of lace, muslin, or other fine fabric used for trimming women's garments.
[French, from Old French rusche, beehive, from Medieval Latin rsca, bark of a tree (used for making beehives), of Celtic origin.]
ruched (rsht) adj.

I've always liked ruched panties; I've just never known what to call them. Never to late to learn, and you're welcome for the lesson. Worn nicely by Stephanie van Arendonk.

The Best Part of Waking Up..

Since it's the holiday season, many of us will be seeing that ancient coffee commercial again.



Yes, it's cute, but: 1) by now, the little girl in it is probably old enough to be the model in this post, and 2) Coffee's great and all, but don't tell me it's the best part of waking up..



P.S. While looking for info on the commercial, distressing word is that it's been remade?? Aw, hell.. what don't you just remake this while you're at it and ruin another childhood Christmas memory for me (and probably even my Dad!)

Black Friday 11 27 09

The term Black Friday, at least in the U.S. refers to the day after Thanksgiving, and the shopping frenzy that ensues. To that I say: Who cares? To fufL, it means we can do a post like this, featuring Kim Cloutier stripping down to her Pain de Sucre lingerie.

Mya - *Not* The Winner of Dancing With The Stars, Butt..

In a post last week, I mentioned both my girlfriend and my mother had guessed that Mya would win Dancing with the Stars after Joanna Krupa was voted off. I expect the number of bookies calling either of them looking for insight as to future winners will drop off, since Donny Osmond won. However, as evidenced above, Ms. Harrison is a winner in other ways.

Blue Monday 11 23 09

Even if you have to do it by stealth, you can sneak in a Blue Monday..

(If you don't see it, enjoy playing Search for awhile. You have permission to do that even if you *do* see it right away..)

Leighton Meester: December 2009 GQ

Ms. Meester seems to upping the lingerie layout stakes against fellow Gossip Girl cast member Blake Lively in her feature in the December 2009 GQ Magazine. Unzipping leather, anyone?



Interestingly, both photo shoots are by Mark Abrahams.



Just a thought; isn't it about time for GG's blogger/narrator Kristen Bell to pose for a fresh set of photos? Paging Mr. Abrahams..

Joanna Krupa Dances Off Stage and Out of Her Clothes

Polish model Joanna Krupa seemed to be one of the judge's favorites, and my girlfriend was pretty sure she had a great chance of getting the mirror ball trophy on the latest U.S. edition of Dancing with the Stars. Alas, t'was not to be.



Ms. Krupa was voted off this past week, leaving the competition to be won by Mya, Kelly Osbourne or Donny Osmond. FWIW, my Mother, while comparing notes with my girlfriend now thinks Mya will be the winner. (You read it here, first!) Much was made of Ms. Osbourne early on in the competition, though, do I even have to say why if I were to root for anyone, it would be Ms. Krupa?



Maybe she should have danced in this Gemstone-ring bra and open-crotch thong panties from Bon Prix. It's not much less than some costumes I've seen while my girlfriend insists on making me watch.. er, while I'm catching DWTS for research purposes. Then again, if you feel her briefs are too brief, or think Ms. Krupa will have nothing to occupy her time in the next month, think again:



Having already seen the photos from the feature, I can tell you they won't be appearing on fufL; we're a non-nude blog, and she's not really wearing much lingerie, anyway. I'm sure you're heart-broken to hear of this.

Check out Ms. Krupa and her dance partner Derek Hough talking with Jimmy Kimmel after the elimination.

Wordless Wednesday: From All Sides

Blue Monday 11 16 09

It may seem an icy, lacy color, but do you feel anything but warm seeing the lady in this bra and sting panty set from Italy's Swan Original?

Good Thing Not All Clothes Shrink When Wet

Sometimes not coming in out of the rain can be a good thing, but if her panties shrank as much as the rest of her clothing, she could have given herself a pretty mean wedgie..

Milla Jovovich - Resident Lingerie

Model-actress-singer (or, is it more like actress-model-singer these days?) Milla Jovovich has graced several editions of Maxim magazine editions around the globe with a particularly wonderful display of herself in black lingerie over the past few months.



As Ms. Jovovich said in the text of the interview,

I had a little girl recently, and I'm doing this to show off my post-baby body. Lingerie and a sheet were all I needed.. I know it's all about my body. I want to give readers exactly what they want, and they want to see me.

Have a double-vision:



Ms. Milla is currently on-screen in the abducted-by-aliens feature The Fourth Kind, as, well, herself and the character she plays. Meanwhile she's been hard at work on the next Resident Evil movie, where she's been tweeting up a storm:

we have a new catch phrase on this movie "spritz the guts and go!" 6:20 PM Nov 10th from mobile web

My new theme song 4 the day (think melody from "she works hard for the money")but the words r: crawling thru zombie guts 6:41 PM Nov 10th from TwitterBerry

Well that's a wrap 4 th day!I've just spent the last 8hrs. In a dusty,crusty,dark tunnel.I hve bloody,scratched up elbows 8:05 PM Nov 10th from TwitterBerry

And bruises the size of dinner plates on my knees, but I have to say, its been a gr8 day. I'm tired and I'm going home to see my little girl 8:07 PM Nov 10th from TwitterBerry

Have fun and follow along at twitter.com/MillaJovovich



Not surprisingly after following her tweets, but it you have a couple days to kill, don't miss her official website, www.millaj.com. Do not go if you have only five minutes spare time. It's wonderfully content-rich, not only with pictures but lots of info and comments. Few celebrities are going to take the time to put together, or even have someone else put together a site this well-done.



Bonus: She also appears in a feature for the November 2009 Vogue Italy photographed by Ellen Von Unwerth.

Blue Monday 11 9 09 or Blake Lively, May We Please See Your Bra and Panties?

Gossip Girl's Blake Lively can give you something to talk about in her new photo shoot for Marie Claire magazine. Interesting that according to the photo credits, she's wearing a Brooks Brothers shirt listed at $79.50, but her Hache bra and panties are listed at $150 and $220, respectively. And you thought Serena van der Woodsen had expensive tastes..

Original photos by Mark Abrahams

By The Way..

As evidenced by how she was dressed when she showed up outside the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York for an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman this past Summer, it's not like Blake's wearing much more in public these days:



Have you heard much about this (alleged) new trend?

Marisa Miller's $3 Million Fantasy (Bra)

You can tell Christmas is coming. Almost all the stale Halloween candy in the stores is sold out, the same stores have had their Christmas decorations up for about 4 months, and Marisa Miller has her decorations up for the season encased in Victoria's Secret's $3 million Fantasy Bra.



This year's Hess toy truck for lingerie lovers is The Harlequin Fantasy Bra, designed exclusively for Vicky's by Damiani. It's valued at (only!) $3 Million, and has a rare, 16-carat heart-shaped champagne diamond pendant and more than 2,350 brilliant-cut white, champagne and cognac-colored diamonds. The diamonds total nearly 150 carats.



It's based on their Very Sexy Plunge Multi-Way bra, and took the designers 800 hours to make it, hand-setting each diamond. The design is supposed to remind you of the Angel wings. The research alone took 100 hours.. and if Ms. Miller was involved, I'd like to know how much the researchers had to pay to be allowed to work on the project.



This is the first time Marisa has been given the honor of wearing the Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bra on the runway in The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Tuesday, Dec. 1 at 10/9C on CBS.

Olivia Munn Magazine

We've demonstrated before that Olivia Munn in lingerie is a great idea. As Ms. Munn describes the photo shoot at one point, 'girl, in underwear and bra'.. and the Dum Dum Pop she's sucking on happens to match her bra. What more, really, do you need to know? It's that attention to detail that will help Olivia Munn Magazine conquer the world of publishing. Or, at least sell a hell of a lot of copies at ten bucks a pop, so to speak.

Wordless Wednesday: January Jones, November 2009 GQ

Best-damned-looking month in ages. The cool article written by Mark Kirby and original photographs by Terry Richardson at GQ.com.
