Triumph Angel Curves

Vicky's may have well have Angels, but Triumph has Angel Curves - as it seems she does as well.

Enjoy Your New Year's Eve

And what do you have planned for when the clock strikes 12?

A Merry Marlies Dekkers Christmas

This one is no secret, but it's a Victorian-inspired series of Christmas collections more people ought to know about. They're called Christmas Crackers, Christmas Baubles, Red Xmas and Key to Deliverance, from the highly imaginative Dutch designer Marlies Dekkers



Not only do you get a touch of the Victorian, but if you look at the entire collection, a sly bit of the Dickensian also emerges.

Getting Ready for the Party

I'm not sure where the party is, but wearing that bra, boy shorts, stockings and boots ensemble under whatever outfit she'll have on will make it more interesting for her alone..

That Moment When She Says 'Unzip Me'..

..then runs down the hall to the bedroom with whatever she was wearing falling off along the way. May you have many of these. Natasha Gilbert from the November 2010 FHM France.

Black Friday 2010: Fred & Ginger

Black Friday has arrived once again. Aside from the crowds, sales and traffic, it serves as our annual (great!) excuse to highlight some fantastic black lingerie, such as this Black Label balconette bra and these Beau side-tie silk and chiffon panties - OK, knickers - from London's Fred & Ginger. Does anyone know if they have Black Friday in the U.K.? If not, maybe after this they may reconsider..

Nicole Gill: Beautiful

From concept to design execution, modeling, photography and website, new lingerie line Nicole Gill Corsetry & Lingerie is just that: Beautiful. As her site says,

Nicole Gill Lingerie is a bespoke brand which specialises in authentic steel boned corsets and luxury lingerie pieces, using only the most elegant silks and laces. Each corset is handmade to exact measurements, ensuring that the body is shaped to perfection with an exquisitely cinched waist and silhouette. We aim to create unique lingerie pieces that make every woman feel elegant and beautiful.

Her first collection, called 'Welcome to the Tea-party' (as in Wonderland) is inspired by Victorian times (What? There's more than one way to spin that concept and lingerie, and this way is a much higher-end and hand-crafted line).

Check out an interview with Ms. Gill herself at Lingerieblog.co.uk,



If she looks vaguely familiar, it may be because her line's model is her sister, Charlotte Emily Anne (Gill). You also can't log onto her site and not appreciate the wonderful photography and web design. Both are by an apparently multi-talented man by the name of James Kemp. A great addition to imaginative lingerie.

Smile, It's Friday

Daisy Hill's Angel bra and panty set are by the U.K.'s Curvy Kate. She may not be Kate, but the lady is definitely curvy.

Have A Friday Night On The Town With Andi Muise

Andi Muise in an ASOS ensemble of a few seasons ago, looking like she knows what to have on under that little black dress should come off later in the evening.



While we've certainly featured the lovely Ms. Muise before, and we're fans, to see some really great fans check out Let The Lights Shine Bright and for a huge selection of her work in lingerie, swimwear and other fashions, you can't beat Mugo's collection of images at UHQ Models. As for Andi herself, as Craig Ferguson would say, check the tweets here.

EDIT: Thanks to fufL reader Chelsea A for this correction: 'That was actually a Lejaby set from their winter season, last year.'

Blue Monday 11 01 10

Technically, Agent Provocateur calls the colors of its new Rizzi bra, panties and suspenders black and grey. Being it's my blog, the lady looks gorgeous in the ensemble, and it's a Monday, I'm exercising editorial privilege and calling it black and blue.



Objections..? Didn't think so..

Anything But 'Hopeless' - Happy Hunting

Unless they mean as in hopelessly beautiful, the small, hand-crafted lingerie maker from Melbourne Australia may be misnamed. Hopeless has made some of the more imaginative lingerie you'll find since sisters Gabrielle and Dominique Adamidis founded the label in August 2008. The above Cheryl black silk bra and silk knickers (amazing how much classier the term 'knickers' sounds while writing about this label) are from their new collection, or range as they call it, The Hunted.


^ The Ashley Silk-Satin Playsuit

You and I may find our inspiration in many places, but believe it or not, as explained in their wonderful blog, Spokes and Daggers, designer Gabrielle's inspiration for the collection came from director Sam Raimi's 'Evil Dead' and 'Evil Dead 2'

'I took inspiration from the evil force that races through the forest, the wood grain of the haunted log cabin and of buckets of blood featured in the films. These ideas were subtly woven into every piece - to create a collection that was both haunting and beautiful.'

Umm.. OK, the lingerie is beautifully done, it works, so who am I to argue? It also explains why the pieces in the set had to be named Ashley, Cheryl and Linda..

I've been a fan of the brand since I first discovered their blog, and not that the other ranges weren't well down, but this one strikes both my girlfriend and I as their best yet. The only downsides? True, a bit pricey, but do you really expect originally designed hand-made silk lingerie for the price of a five-pack of panties at Wallyword or even Vicky's? Didn't think so. Also, it's not for day-to-day wear. However, if you're into building a serious (and seriously beautiful) collection on lingerie, check them out. At the very least, you'll be inspired.

Minka Kelly: Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive 2010

Actress Minka Kelly grabs this year's honors from Esquire Magazine, and strips to various states of undress for their November 2010 issue.



Stripping may be in some way genetic for Ms. Kelly; in the interview with Ryan D'Agostino, she talks about her Mom's days stripping, late-night supermarket shopping after work with her as a kid, *not* getting cosmetic surgery causing her to be fired from a clerical job by an (un-named)Playboy centerfold, and ending up on Friday Night Lights.

v Keep looking in the mirror, Ms. Kelly. I don't think you'll see anywhere you could possibly have needed cosmetic surgery..




These days she's seen in Parenthood, though probably not quite as in the above photos by Yu Tsai

Blue Monday 10 18 10

Maybe she needs to rest up after the weekend. Or, maybe that smile means she wouldn't mind it if you joined her resting.. or something, on that couch..
