Sarah Michelle Gellar, May We Please See Your Bra and Panties?

If you haven't seen Sarah Michelle Gellar this way, maybe it's because you haven't seen some of the other parts she's played (besides the obvious).



These photos from her photo spread in the December 2007 Maxim magazine may make you want to see her in another way..



Or, maybe just asking her the question of the week would have done that.



In either case, Thank you, Ms. Gellar!

May We Please See Your Bra? May We Please See Your Panties? May We Please See Your Lingerie?

All next week, L ingerie Blog will ask;
all next week, we'll see the answers..

May We Please See Your Panties? Week: Wednesday

You know, being it's April 1st, I probably should have expected this (and you probably already did..)

Isla Fisher, May We Please See Your Panties?

Isla Fisher, seen in Wedding Crashers, seen in Confessions of a Shopaholic. Seen here in a nice blouse, sweater and out of her jeans, but in very nice bikini panties. Thank you!

L ingerie Blog FAQ

I'll try to add to this as more people ask additional questions, though I make no pretense that this particular post/page will be frequently updated. So, In no particular order, some that have been passed along in published (and unpublished) comments:

Why the name 'L ingerie Blog'?
Long ago, I used 'franku' on a site, and kept it when I got to a few more modern forums. As you can probably guess, a first name and an initial.

I started two Piczo pages as an experiment that were really little more than a montages of lingerie and underwear photos. They were simply 'frankufotos' When I started the blog, I needed a name. Can you tell not too much thought went into it?

Why lingerie and underwear?
Everyone has a fetish; welcome to mine. A far more detailed explanation can be found in one of my earliest posts which is an abridged article of a wonderful writer, editor (and cupcake advocate!), Rachel Kramer Bussel.

Did a particular blog or blogger inspire you to try writing your own blog?
Yes, and I told that story in this post. Ms. jay's blog, Daily Panties is gone, with the url now hosting a static page on mortgages, but I leave the link on fufL in the hope that she'll return one day. My original post about Daily Panties.

Another dead link that I purposely leave in my Links is for the late, lamented Bilkoscans. Talk about a great collection of scans. I always envied the work that went into them, which leads to the next question--

Do you make your own scans/
Where do you get the photos for the blog?
I do NONE of the scans - I don't even own a scanner. Every picture you see is found on lingerie manufacturer websites, or through Google. It amazes me how good some of this work is. I wish I could do scans, but, even it I could, I doubt if I could come up with the volume and the variety. My hat is off to the original scanners/artists and especially the photographers.

Do you accept ads?
Nope.

Why not? You too good for filthy lucre?
Not at all; that's why I have a real-life job. Several reasons here. Since, as I've made clear, I don't own or originate any of the images, I don't feel I have a right to make any money off of them. I have nothing against other blogs that do, but I have the most respect for the ones who really put a lot of time and effort into writing informative posts about lingerie and underwear, and thus really earn whatever they do from monetized blogs. You'll find some excellent blogs like this in my Links. I write this blog as a hobby. The pressure of just keeping it interesting is all I really care to have.

I realized awhile back that many of these images are on a ton of other sites and blogs. I see what I do as more on an editor. I could post 25 new images a day with no commentary, but I'd rather do about 4 a week and try to pick really the best or most topical I can find. Which leads to:

How often do you post?
Usually four times a week; Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Sometimes I do a themed week, like 'May we see you bra/panties/underwear' 'Valentines', 'Wedding' or 'Flowers' which have a few extra posts.

Why Blue Mondays?
The Blue Monday posts came about for several reasons. One is the memorable phrase, which I'm sure gets me a few hits from people who'll never remember the blog's name. The original reason? My girlfriend loves blue lingerie. Good blue lingerie seems to be harder to find, too. In my girlfriend's case, she does have a good amount of it, but also a lot of blue-accented lingerie, such as white cotton panties or sets with either blue piping or prints and designs. In fact, the first time I ever saw an unintentional glimpse of her panties was when she was leaning over to pick up something she got for me that she had hidden behind a chair - Yep, white cotton with blue paisley designs and a waist band. As our relationship progressed, she eventually found out why I had such a fond memory of her giving me that particular gift..

Does your girlfriend know about fufL, and if she does, what does she think of her boyfriend posting all these pictures of lingerie models and celebrities?
Once it became clear to me that I was actually going to keep the blog going, I did show it to her. She'd already seen a good number of the pictures because I'd shown them to her. She has the same lingerie/underwear fetish I do, amazing as that seems.
A good number of the posts have sparked a search for similar items to add to her collection, and in some cases she's even found or suggested particular pictures for a post.

Is she Bi?/Isn't she threatened by you looking at/posting these pictures?
Not that she hasn't had an offer or two, but, no, she's straight; she just enjoys the pictures as well, and why would she be threatened when she's real and real-life? Of any pictures that may get a more erotic reaction out of me, let's just say she's the beneficiary of those reactions..

Does she write any of the posts?
I wish; if you can talk her into even 'guest-writing' one, go ahead, because (thus far) I've had no luck.

You always refer to her as 'my girlfriend', but you never mention her name.
Yep. Next question ; )

Anything different in what you do now from when you started?
The biggest difference? I really didn't think there would be any posts about celebrities, but it seems there are a good number of them that can't wait to strip down for professional photo shoots these days. Usually about when they've got a new movie coming out for some strange reason.. hmm.. can't imagine why..

Well, what about when so-and-so breaks up with so-and-so, or when Celebrity X gets caught screwing around with So-Called Celeb Y?
You know what? I may not be immune to it, but I'm no fan of gossip. There may be some posts that are more topical because of it, but this is NOT a gossip blog. You may find a positive post about, say, a lingerie model becoming a Very Sexy Mom (or a VSM as I call them; I really don't like the term MILF), but if someone's marriage is going down the drain, I find no entertainment value in that. Or in bad or outright evil behavior. I've skipped over some really great photos of certain people because I just didn't want to celebrate someone with questionable tastes (example? one or two ladies who may be beautiful to look at, but seem to hold to some pretty racist, homophobic or other hateful ideas).

Hey, what about that great Paparazzi shot of so-and-so's upskirt or boob flash?
While a few of those may be planned (I know; you're shocked)I look at it this way: if an actress or model is posing in her panties, she has no problems with being seen that way, and probably got paid a nice agreed-upon sum for it. I'd like to think they get some great lingerie out of the deal as well. Otherwise? Let's not celebrate an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction, even if they really should have known better.

There are a lot of fantastic swimsuit photo shoots, too. Why don't you include those?
Aside from the fact it's a lingerie blog, let me try to explain it the easiest way. Even if a beach bikini shows more skin than a bra and panties set, why would I find the underwear far more interesting? Because it's just that: underwear. The bathing suit, however hot/small is meant to be seen in public. Lingerie, despite some fashion trends, is intimate; meant to be unseen except by a lucky few and in that intimate setting. Sort of a Forbidden Fruit-of-The-Loom.


So, why no nudity?
I have no doubt some people would look at this blog as pornography; they really shouldn't be reading it, then, should they? I'm not against it, but, guess what? If you want nudity, I think you can already find plenty of it, and even if I find a fantastic picture of a knock-out model in the greatest pair of panties ever made, if she's topless - or in a great bra but bottomless - are most people going to even be looking at the lingerie?

How much longer will you write the blog?
Great question. Damned if I know is the most honest answer I can give you. I was in college when I started, and I've been out in the Real World for a few years, now. I can't spend as much time on-line as I used to, and if something's got to give, it'd be this blog before time with my girlfriend or my career. Also, as of this writing, it's still fun. That stops, so do the new posts. I'd have no plans to delete the work I've done, but if new posts cease one day, now you'll know why.

So, when are you going to get around to replacing all those dead images from the Photobucket days?
Um.. someday? ; ) See above to figure out a time-frame.

What's your e-mail addy so I can contact you?
I have all the e-mail I can handle IRL; the comments are moderated - just leave me one if you have a comment or question. Feedback is always welcomed, and THANKS for reading!

May We Please See Your Bra and Panties?: Friday

In case you wondered what she was wearing under that sweater, she was obviously going for the contrast with her wardrobe today, rather than the match, unless to her hair color. Thank you!

Eva Mendes In Calvin Klein: May We See Your Seductivly Comfortable Bra And Panties, Please?

As WWD, among others have reported, the preview of
Calvin Klein Underwear's new campaign starring Eva Mendes is out.

The new line, out this September, is called Seductive Comfort, and it's a perfect fit for Ms. Mendes in more ways than one:

I wear [Calvin Klein] G-strings all of the time on the red carpet and when shooting for a film because you don’t see the [panty] lines,” Mendes said.

And, we're happy for the below demonstration..



The new campaign is photographed by Steven Meisel. I can't say I know the gentleman personally, but I'll take a wild guess that he's probably never complained about heading off to work a day in his life.



All-in-all, quite the nice way to start the third year of posts on Lingerie Blog.

Blue Monday 3 30 09: Natalia Vodianova, May We Please See Your Bra?

Ms. Vodianova starts of fufl's May We Please See Your Lingerie? Week. To her: Thank you; To you, enjoy.

Scarlett Johansson: Just Married. But, May We Still See Your Bra, Please?

As you may have heard, Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds
were married over this past weekend.



Which, of course, gives fufL a perfect excuse to include these lovely photos of the more-than-lovely Ms. Johansson displaying herself to the world in this lovely red lace bra.




True, it wouldn't be the first post we've done about her..






But, since these pictures pre-date our blog's debut, it does give us a great excuse to go back and run them all in one new post.



Congratulations and good luck to the bride and groom, and, if you enjoy the site of Ms. Johansson coming undressed, think how much more Mr. Reynolds gets to enjoy seeing..

BTW - Not that you'd tire of looking at them, but as often as I've seen this photo shoot, I'm not sure I have the right source for magazine, and more importantly, the photographer. Any one with the correct information, please post a comment so we can give credit where credit is due.

Zoe Saldana: Uhura, May We Please See Your Bra?

Thank you.

By now, is there anyone who doesn't know J.J. Abrams' reboot of the Star Trek franchise is opening in a good part of the world this weekend? (fufL even told you about it as far back as November 2007).

Among the cast, and perhaps of most interest to this blog, of course, is Zoe Saldana starring as Nyota Uhura, who may not be a lieutenant in the new movie's time frame, but she'll certainly have a bit more to do than open hailing frequencies. Not that Nichelle Nichols didn't do that quite well in the original TV series, but I always liked the fact she got to kick a little Mr. Adventure ass in the movies. Speaking of Ms. Nichols, we pause this post, with no disrespect meant for Ms. Saldana for this photo:



Damn.

Onward, and back to Ms. Saldana:



True, these images from an Esquire shot she did awhile back aren't lingerie-only, but we'll enjoy them just the same..




The new cast are signed for two sequels, so Ms. Saldana can be prepared to put on - and, perhaps, take off her Starfleet uniform for awhile longer. Not that she's a stranger to uniforms, or all things Trek; witness a moment of her performance in the Tom Hanks movie The Terminal..

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!

Adriana Lima, May We Please See Your $2 Million Victoria's Secret Bombshell Fantasy Bra?

The answer is kind of obvious, isn't it? Say this much for Vicky's: they know how to promote something like, say, their 2010 Fashion Show this coming Tuesday night at 10 on CBS? And Thank you, Ms. Lima.

Blue Monday 8 2 10 - And A Reminder

Since one great site recently came back on-line, let's see if using one of the Bilkoscans photos can get us another.. worth a shot, isn't it? The lady above wonderfully encased in lingerie from Ellure. By the way, not to take anything away from her or the lingerie, but does that bra not seem custom-made for her?

****



Another by-the-way: Heads up that the Christmas of the lingerie and underwear world is coming this Thursday.. OK, at least Christmas-In-August? It'll be the 8th Annual National Underwear Day! (Want to win free underwear? Click here to enter) Do prepare by planning to wear something special. From someone special, if you can manage it. My girlfriend and I recently did a week's vacation on the road, including much shopping for that-which-will-be-celebrated. We got each other packages of something special that we will not open until Thursday morning while getting dressed for work. Or, if our schedules permit, we may open them in each others' presence Wednesday evening.. meaning we'll probably both be calling in late to work Thursday morning..

Nicole Kidman: May We Please See Your Bra?

Either someone asked the above question, or Ms. Kidman looks like she expected to see a huge 'S' on her chest when she ripped open her Prada blouse. She found a Carine Gilson Lingerie bra, instead (hardly a let-down).



The October 2007 cover of Vanity Fair by photographer Patrick Demarchelier was not her first for VF in lingerie.



A bit of luminescent leg and black scalloped panties were on display in a 1997 VF photo by Annie Leibovitz



Plus, Ms. Kidman seems not to shy away from other things underwear. A slip of a girl, above..

A flash of panty below from The Human Stain below..




In her purple passion bra and panties from To Die For

And, of course, proving once again that plain, white cotton skivvies can be hott in Eyes Wide Shut


There's a couple noticeable things about these pics; I can't put my fingers on them, but Nicole can..


Not that she's been shy in removing said undies in any number of films, but since fufL is a non-nude blog, we'll end it on that note before her bra hits the floor..

The Attack Of The Eight-Foot Bright Violet Lingeried Miranda Kerr

If you've been to the mall recently, and happened to have passed by your local chapter of the lingerie establishment known as Victoria's Secret, you may have noticed some toweringly large photo boards in the windows featuring the stunning Miranda Kerr.



Lady Ms. Kerr is illustrating Vicky's latest offering, the officially-titled 'Dream Angels Push-Up Bra with Memory Fit and a lot of lift!'



While you may think that the VS copy department may want to rethink their wordiness, I think we'll agree their marketing department has no need to rethink their window displays..



See? While any picture of Ms. Kerr as above is far from disappointing, smaller isn't the way to go for, well, the Big Picture.



By the way, even my girlfriend's reaction to the VS window when we first saw it the other week was 'Damn!'. She didn't want the bra, but I did buy her several shades of the matching bikini panties (for the record, she picked out 'Coast Blue', 'Pale Blue' and, the ones Ms. Kerr is wearing, 'Bright Violet').
