Happy U.S. Memorial Day, and Thanks to those who served and sacrificed

Like Red On A Rose: Passionata

From Passionata ('Bada-bing, bada-boom!') and their Boudoir collection. Good luck getting their theme song out of you head the rest of the weekend, now..

Security From State of Undress

Mind you, the lady looks like she can take care of herself, but, who's lucky enough to get the key to her.. heart? (Heart first, panties later). They're Chastity Knickers, with tiny lock and key, by a wonderfully-named label, State of Undress. The encyclopedic site The Lingerie Post says the company, sadly is apparently no more. Take heart; you may still find a pair in-stock at sites such as this.

Wordless Wednesday: Check That View

Blue Monday 5 24 10

Catch some sun with Japanese AV(and lingerie)Idol Reon Kadena (aka Kadena Leon).

Selita's (Not So) Secret: Maxim June 2010

As she tweeted (twittered?) earlier this week:

@MsSelitaEbanks Who knew? http://tweetphoto.com/22343536

You could make an argument that most people paying any attention to Ms. Ebanks would certainly have been in on that Secret even without Maxim's June 2010 cover and pictorial (original photos by Chris Fortuna).







You'd think she wouldn't have been fired from the latest season of Celebrity Apprentice given Donald Trump's taste in lingerie and ladies who model it, but we're guessing Ms. Ebanks will be just fine.

Danica McKellar + Lingerie = Nice Figure(s)

It's not the first time the woman who played Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years has decided to show a little lace, but Danica McKellar is one of several ladies featured in In Maxim's June 2010 issue.



Original photo shoot by Brooke Nipar



And, you'd best remember not to try and get smart with her about it; she can tell you to Kiss Her Math and show her work to prove she can run rings around most of us.



I usually don't feature two items from once source two days in a row, but since Maxim can give us Ms. McKellar, their annual 100 Hot List and a fantastic cover feature, the least we can do is a little post about the lady on the cover tomorrow.. stay tuned.

Blue Monday 5 17 10

Think. Wasn't it just the weekend? Here's hoping she helps your week off to a cute start (her and her cotton bra and panties both defining cute).

Miss USA (or Miss Lingerie?) 2010

Proving that I (I picked Miss New Jersey) my girlfriend (she picked Miss Ohio) and the odds-makers (they picked Miss California) can all be wrong: Miss USA 2010 is Rima Fakih, Miss Michigan.

BTW, as we covered in our previous post, there was a bit of.. notice? ..of the pageant's official 'glamour' (aka: Lingerie) photos of the contestants. If you saw the pageant, nowhere near as revealing at the bikinis the ladies wore. In Prime time regular old-guard NBC TV. I smell the start of a new standard operating procedure for any pageant that expects ratings. What do you think?

Miss USA 2010: The Lingerie Competition

In the past, beauty pageant contestants have gotten in trouble over revealing photos; This year, the Miss USA pageant is just cutting to the chase. Or, to the lingerie, as evidenced by the above image of Miss Missouri, Ashley Strohmier (well, it is the Show-Me state) and of Miss California, Nicole Michele Johnson (favored to win) below



Not that the idea of doing official glamour lingerie photos of each of the contestants has gone over well with all:





Miss Pennsylvania, Gina Cerilli (above) defended her photos and the idea, as did pageant owner Donald Trump. Anything for ratings in an age when you could argue these pageants are of less and less importance, and actresses and models are often seen in lingerie or less in more than a few magazines?



^Miss Connecticut, Ashley Bickford
Miss Colorado, Jessica Hartman v





^ Miss Maryland, Simone Feldman
Miss Michigan, Rima Fakih v



I'll leave that up to you in the Comments section. Obviously, I'm going to be biased in favor of more lingerie photos in the world, and looking over the the gallery of all the contestants as photographed beautifully by Fadil Berisha, my only question was: do I use all 51 photos in this post or not?



^ Miss Oregon, Kate Paul
Miss Kansas, Bethany Gerber v





^ Miss Virginia, Samantha Casey
Miss Tennessee, Tucker Perry v





^ Miss Delaware, Julie Citro
Miss Oklahoma, Moran Elizabeth Woolard v





^ Miss Wisconsin, Courtney Lopez



^ Miss Mississippi, Breanne Ponder
Miss New Hampshire, Nicole Houde v





^ Miss Nebraska, Belinda Wright
Miss Ohio, Amanda Tempel is my girlfriend's pick for the winner v





^ Miss New Jersey, Chenoa Greene (I know nothing of the contestants, but there's something about Ms. Greene I like. And, if she doesn't win? Well, the odds were already 50-to-1 against me guessing right who might win, and her odds are 50-1 anyway..)

My girlfriend's take on all this: If you're going to say this is a scholarship program, you're still living in the 1940's or earlier. If you're going to say it's a modern-day top model search, bring on the lingerie. I'll go along with that.

Behind the scenes of Fadil Berisha's "Waking Up In Vegas' photo shoot:



Speaking of Vegas, what do you want to wager all the attention this is getting helps the ratings for this year's broadcast, tomorrow night(Sunday)on NBC?

A Simple Cotton (Club) Bra and Panties

Italy's Cotton Club Lingerie. What are the dues, again? I was distracted.

May Flowers 2010: Jenna Pietersen Blooms In Hunkemöller

A rose by any other name: South African model Jenna Pietersen in the non-floral-sounding, but very floral in appearance rose-red bra and panties set by Hunkemöller. Here's to hoping you enjoyed this week's bouquets from L ingerie Blog's annual May Flowers Week.

May Flowers 2010: Natalia Vodianova Rests In Etam

Russia's Natalia Vodianova takes a Friday break in lingerie from Etam.
Once you've rested a bit after a long week, you may want to check out some of the charitable work Ms. Vodianova does to help children through her Naked Heart Foundation.

May Flowers 2010: Great Greta From Freya

You know how flowers like sun. The above Greta plunge bra and briefs by Freya seems to respond well. It's even in the flower-friendly color of Amethyst. Or, maybe more mineral-friendly? Either way, stone-beautiful.

May Flowers 2010: Heather Marks in Nordstrom's

Canada's Heather Marks with a gaze as beautiful as her bra and panty set from Nordstrom's

May Flowers 2010: Jarah Mariano

Hawaii's gift to the other 49 U.S. states, as well as the rest of the world, Jarah Mariano. I almost saved this photo for a possible Fall flowers feature, but then, I figured it may be spring where fufL is, but that means it Fall somewhere, so enjoy!

Blue Monday 5 3 10 - May Flowers Week

Our Annual May Flowers Week on L ingerie Blog starts with a T-shirt bra and sheer matching panties with just a hint of pink flowers to keep it on-topic from O Lingerie.

Vanessa Fonesca - Good and Plenty Lingerie?

Beautiful Brazilian Vanessa Fonesca in a variation of the same set of lingerie. I wasn't able to make a positive I.D. on the brand, but her pink and black bras and panties reminded me of a certain candy. Sweet enough.
