Happy Halloween 2007

True, most of the biggest Halloween parties were last weekend, but today is the official holiday in the U.S. I live in a college town, and even though my girlfriend and I have both graduated, we still are included in some of the Halloween party fun on and around the campus. Which means we got to see The Most Popular (or, Over-used) Costume for the second year in a row: The Nurse!



Of course, Most people who dressed up had a decidedly lower neckline than any real nurses we'd ever seen..



Nice try.. lower..



You're getting warmer.. (you're getting warmer?)



Muuuuuch more like it. Of course, a lot of them had skirts so short, you could just about read the label on their panties..



And since their skirts were that short, you pretty much saw their asses hanging out..



Well, that's a good approximation.. of course, it was so damned windy this year - and last, I'm surprised no one lost those tiny little costumes.



Yeah.. um.. like that.. Umm.. just relax a minute, OK, and I'll finish this post..



(**Psst! Step over here, away from Florence Nightingale a second, would you?**)

Now, truth be told, there really *was* a lot of bras and cleavage on display.. and damn short skirts resulting in to-hell-with-visible-panty-lines; there were visible panties. How these people put up with it being as cold and windy as it was, especially last year when it was 20 degrees with a wind chill below zero, I honestly don't know. Did many of the 'nurses' look like Japanese AV Idol Nina Minami? No. Did any skirts or dresses go flying down the street? No. Don't tell her that, though.

Just as well.. about half the people dressed up as nurses were male, anyway (!)

Happy Halloween 2010

Look up in the sky-- Er, down in the bed.. uh, on the floor? OK, so who needs a phone booth to change into Superman these days? Which is good, considering much like the scene in the Christopher Reeve version, if you find one, it's likely not to have a booth with it. (Where I live, there's one payphone downtown, which is constantly vandalized).



I've mentioned the amount of lingerie and underwear finding its way into Halloween costumes theses day before, so why not just cut to the chase and combine the two? For the record, my girlfriend wouldn't dare go out like this, but after looking over this post did offer the opinion that I may just find something as superlative under her costume when we get home after the usual Halloween rounds this year. I say super, woman!



So, if you're not already going Gaga (as in Lady) or Flo, as we covered last year, think if it as Underoos for adults.

Happy Halloween 2008

Last year, fufL explained that the Nurse costume was quite popular for adults in our college town. From what I'm hearing and seeing so far, it still will be tonight- and this year, while cold, won't be the ice box of some Halloween nights past. That, coupled with the more difficult economic times, and the move toward the simpler attempts (read: cheaper) to evoke a idea, and you have the stripped-down (if you will) version of a Halloween nurse, as demonstrated very nicely above by Yoko Matsugane.

And, don't think that some similar adult nurse costumes worn tonight won't be as sparse - or less - by night's end. Trick or treat indeed..

Happy Halloween From.. Your Insurance Agent?

In the past, we've documented the most popular Halloween costumes in our happy little college community, and the perennial favorite for women (and, unfortunately, many men) has been some lingerie-infused version of a nurse. Not this year. I keep hearing plans, and in some cases what can be taken as threats, mainly by girls, to go as an agent. No, not this agent, which would make some sense:



An Insurance Agent of sorts. No, not Erin Esurance,



though we've seen a few of her wandering around in past years..



This Insurance Agent:



That's correct, Flo, from the Progressive ads. One or two girls (or guys) telling people they're planning to go with the Flo isn't a trend. Ten or fifteen people independently mentioning it in passing to either myself, my girlfriend or another friend is a borderline trend, just disturbing, or both. Not that Flo isn't, in essence, a costume. Stephanie Courtney, the actress/comedian who plays her goes through a two hour make-up job for the commercials.



If the local interpretation of a nurse is any indication, I'm guessing the Flo costumes will keep the wig, makeup, apron and a big, tricked-out name tag, but not a hell of a lot else from the real Flo's attire; most probably replaced by white bras, hot pants or boy shorts and stockings.

You may (or may not -Rule 34) be surprised to learn, much as has happened with Erin, there's now a growing amount of non-G-rated imagery devoted to Flo floating around the net. Some, having them co-starring. To be clear: to each their own, but it's times like this I don't feel like being a 25-year old straight male is too old to be writing a lingerie blog.

Speaking of which: if you really want to see a costume suggestion of an Agent for Halloween, if it's going to involve lingerie, why not go to a master, and pick one from Agent Provocateur?



Please note; I'm not going to be held responsible for any local laws you may be breaking.. May you get enough candy to rot your teeth, but remember to brush!

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.

Adriana Lima Looks Like $2 Million In The 2010 Victoria's Fantasy Bra

Hard to believe it's that time of year again already. There's a chill in the (North American) air, the leaves are starting to turn, stores are trying to figure out where to put all of their Christmas candy and garbage because the Halloween and Thanksgiving stuff is still clogging their aisles, and Victoria's Secret is gearing up for their 2010 Fashion Show, Tuesday, November 30th on CBS.

The opening salvo? The above photo of Angel Adriana Lima as the wearer of this year's VS Fantasy Bra (officially 'Bombshell Fantasy Bra'). She gets the honor this year of wearing $2 million in diamonds. You'd think they'd make a matching set of Bombshell Fantasy panties, but maybe they're trying to keep coasts down. Or, they realize she'd never be able to comfortably sit down if they did.



With Heidi Klum leaving her wings behind, and both Miranda Kerr and Doutzen Kroes pregnant and missing from this show, they'll have to be a bit more creative this year, but it does give models like future Transformers 3 star Rosie Huntington-Whiteley,Chanel Iman, Erin Heatherton a chance to shine a bit more along side the already stellar likes of Alessandra Ambrósio, Candice Swanepoel and Ms.Lima.
