Getting Started

Okay, so here is my virgin posting and to be honest I'm too freaking hot to really post anything about fashion except how brilliant hanging out in your knickers can be. My baby daughter is chilling in her diaper and my partner Gman (clearly not his real name...I am protecting his secret identity) is passed out on the sofa in his boxers. It is definitely an almost naked sort of day. If we had a pool I'd talk about bathing suits but since we don't, I'm starting out with underwear.



Favorite Underwear brands right now are:
  • Gap for basic cotton underwear - black, white, nude
  • Wacoal bras for my newly acquired D cups (remember that baby I mentioned? well, you get the idea...)
  • Mary Green is great for silky knickers even though the mannequins on her website are kinda freaky. I love how this one is wearing glasses! But seriously, she has fabulous silk!

  • Stockingirl.com for, well, stockings and garters for when you are feeling racy. Their tights are brilliant and the colors are great. Just don't sign up for the email list! They are like the Victoria's Secret catalog - once you sign up you can't get rid of it!
  • Vintage anything. Now some of you might think it's really gross to wear used lingerie but it's not like I'm buying some one's used panties! I am totally OBSESSED with vintage Vanity Fair lingerie. Especially if it's that fabulous leopard print. My collection currently includes a short nightie, a slip with a raged edge that is very Wilma Flintstone and a a housecoat/robe/dress. I have been trying FOREVER to find a leopard bra on eBay but I keep getting out bid (damn it!). Eventually I will have to admit I have a problem...eventually
