A Push (Up) From Passionata

Passionata's Passio line has a clean-but-still-detailed design to it. The lady is wearing the collection's push-up bra and matching briefs. You may think the best feature(s) are above. I'd say she'd be fine pushed-up or not, as long as you can also enjoy the feature below of the full-back ribbed cotton panties covering a very nice contour.



Who says enhancement - or thongs - are always good things? But, if you insist on judging the contrast..

Agent Provocateur Autumn/Winter 2010 Arrives

If it's going to get cooler, something may as well provide some compensation. Or some heat. How about Agent Provocateur's Autumn/Winter 2010 Collection? Above and below the Sherlyn design bra, panties and rollon



The aptly-titled Shazam bra, panties and suspenders in (non-fattening) chocolate



..from front-to-back..





and AP's Helena bra, briefs and suspenders from front-to-basque..





Looks to be a great season..

Blue Monday 9 27 10

For some time, I've had these photos of Brazilian model Gabriella Grecco, and had been meaning to do a post highlighting this series.



Several things can inspire one to finally do something. One, it's time for another Blue Monday post. As you can see if you carefully study the fabric making up Ms. Grecco's bra and side-tie string bikini panties, it is, indeed, the palest of blues



(If you don't see her intimates here as being blue, please just humor me by playing along. Why kill part of a good reason for this post? Thanks!)



Also, as I've mentioned before, my girlfriend's favorite lingerie color is blue





And, although last week, even though it was not a Monday and the bra and panties my girlfriend was wearing were more white lace than sheer blue, I was greeted with a similar site as she untied her panties.



Luckily, this is the end of the post, because even if there were another photo in the above series illustrating the next sight I was fortunate enough to enjoy, this is still a non-nude blog..

Grace Park Helps You Decide In You Should Watch The New Hawaii 5-0 Tomorrow night - fufL Sunday Extra

On last week's series premiere, Ms. Park's character was the last introduced, had the least amount of screen time of the four leads, but they still managed to get her down to a white cotton bra and bikini panties.



In fairness, she got to say the 'Be there. Aloha!' tag.

The folks at Egotastic.com provide the screen caps; Ms. Park provides the answer if you should watch tomorrow night on CBS: Hell, yes!



The new 5-0 cast left-to-right, Scott Cann, Daniel Dae Kim, Alex O'Loughlin and Grace Park Thought bubble for McGarrett? 'Damn, Boomer!'

Made By Niki, It's Days Are Numbered

Only 100 of these have been Made By Niki: The Rosary Knicker in Heavenly Ivory Mesh (listed under her Bridal Collection) The beads are removable, and can be replaced by other jewelry from other sets of Niki's lingerie. As if you wouldn't have anything else to talk about once you'd be in a situation where you'd be seen wearing the demi-bra and knickers alone..

Wonderbra's Full Effect In 3-D

While you could make a case that a Wonderbra billboard in 3-D is redundant, Wonderbra claims it's the perfect way to give you the full effect of their new Full Effect bra. Luckily, you only need special glasses to view the billboard outside of London's Waterloo Station featuring Brazilian model Sabraine Banado. In real life, we understand the bra works in 3-D without any other props.. so to speak..

Welcome To Fall

Even though I'm sorry to see Summer go, I'm not sorry to see Teresa Moore's Fall leaves.

On your feet, time to start the week..

She In Her Place

^ Brooklyn

Me In My Place is a relatively new tumblr (May of 2010) by a professional photographer with a great eye for ladies, lingerie and underwear with a simple credo and idea: 'Real girls in their own place. Not too crazy and just a pinch of naughty...'

v Jess


You won't find too much in the way of designer lingerie or any professional models, but that's the whole idea. Nothing wrong with either, fufL is built on their work. But it's nice to know there are so many women willing to be (quite nicely) photographed at home and in their intimates.

v Kim




Jillian v



The proprietor of Me In My Place makes an offer to photograph any ladies interested in posing, and if you read between the photos, you'll see a few lines from those who'd like to give it a try.

Kara v


Esquire, among others have taken note, and it's not difficult to see why. You should as well.



The biggest problem I had in doing this post? Not deciding what pictures to include, but which to leave out. Check out the rest at MeInMyPlace.com

Lady Gaga - V and VMAs

Much has been made of Lady Gaga's big night at (the U.S.)MTV's Video Music Awards, or VMAs. Less has been made of La Lady and just the letter V - as in her appearance wearing even less (with Gaga, anything is possible) on the cover of V Magazine's New York Issue 67. Checking the credits, good sport and designer Marc Jacobs provides his own tux; Lady G's bra and panties are by Calvin Klein and what's left of her dress is by Louis Vuitton. The photos by Mario Testino Among the other credits? 'Torch by Haus of Gaga'. No surprise; everyone knows she's crafty.

By the way, about that now (in)famous meat dress she wore? Perhaps those that saw the cover of Vogue Japan related.



I've heard of edible lingerie before, but you usually don't have to grill it first.
As far as the black bra and panties look, based on the photo below from her twitpics, it seems to be a recurring theme



If you're in a picture with KISS, and they're in full stage makeup and costumes and you still upstage them..

Sometimes, if you lose, you win. Masquerade/Antoinette bandeau bra and matching thong panties from Panache. By the way, out of all those TV Poker shows, no one's thought of Strip Poker?

Womens' Lingerie: Marketed for Men or Women?

Almost the chicken-or-the-egg question to some, from what I've read of on-line discussions. Maybe even a question worthy of Ms. Treacle or Ms. Slip, but I'll ask it because A) I get to answer it. It's clearly both, but it has to satisfy both or it's an Epic Fail. Ever see the scene near the beginning of the movie Working Girl where Melanie Griffith's character is given some lingerie by her boyfriend, who insists on her modeling it for him? She is clearly not enamored of this lingerie, and obviously feels cheapened by the whole incident. The boyfriend is oblivious. But, if it's something you both like and enjoy (however briefly), it's done it's job, hasn't it? First accepting the premise that it's quality lingerie, successful marketing should make the women feel great about being in the lingerie, and being seen it in, if she so chooses. It should also get the proper response when a guy sees the woman in it. If it's, 'she's beautiful/hott/sexy, etc' and that's what she wanted, great. If it's 'wow, what a **** [insert word you wouldn't want used to describe you here], she's my toy!', not so much. But please feel free to discuss in the Comments below.

Oh, what was B)? It's an excuse to post a couple wonderful shots of the above-interviewed Bar Refaeli that resulted from that Greg Kadel photo shoot for Passionata.

HQ Moved, Not Gone

Not Headquarters, but High Quality. In fact, now over on Wordpress (from Blogger) It's now UHQ Models, and still the project of Mugo, who seems to find great collections of lingerie collections. By the way, Mugo's excellent at identifying models and brands; if I've found a great photo and I can't I.D. the model or the brand, and I know one of the two, I'll sometimes check his site for the info, even though the picture may have been found somewhere else. The above model's name has proven elusive. If you know who she is, please contact Mugo or leave a comment on this post. Her lingerie is Palmer's Ornamental Illustration. Mugo's full 'Unknown Drop Dead Gorgeous Model' post here.
