Aiko Tanaka ~ Possibly Asia's Hottest Lingerie Model

Aiko Tanaka has got to be one of the top Asian lingerie models in the world. If you wonder why this post does not have too many of her images, that's because her photos are too hot (and pornish) and I don't want to risk my blog being banned.

Aiko, whose name translates to Love-Child, is of Japanese and Korean descent. Standing at only 5ft 4in (considered vertically-challenged in the West), she more than stands her own among the competition.

Born in Tokyo, Japan, Aiko Tanaka's childhood ambition was to be a star. She started her modelling career, for catalogs and commercial ads, in elementary school. By junior high, Aiko wanted to be a Hollywood actress.

Aiko studied theater in Franklin, Massachusetts and took up dance lessons in Boston. Soon after, she became a professional dancer and managed to get some TV jobs.

Working out everyday, her sculptured body is perfect for modeling and soon, she posed for calendars and websites. More TV appearances followed and music videos, a movie, car shows, expos and other major glitzy events.

Aiko has shot many nude photos which are readily available online. As usual, I've taken only the best of her for my blog. Click HERE only if you're 18 or above!

On a side note, spot Aiko in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.

Christmas Lingerie for the Season

Supermodel Gisele Bundchen in Victoria's Secret Christmas 2005

It's Christmas soon and it's time to stuff up those stockings. What is better than Christmas Lingerie to celebrate Christmas? Lingerie for this season are usually in white, red and green, which are traditional Christmas colours.

Today, I have selected a few images for the Christmas 2006 season that are my personal favourites. All the following images are taken from 3wishes.com

They are currently offering Free Shipping in the United States with any order. No minimum purchase required. Great deal.

In Malaysia, this is not so practical. Besides, Christmas is not celebrated as widely as the United States. And not as commercialised either. Which is a good thing.

Triumph International Japan ~ “No! Shopping Bag Bra” (NO! reji-bukuro bra)

Last year Triumph International Japan came out with the Warmbiz Bra. Last week, they unveiled the “No! Shopping Bag Bra” (NO! reji-bukuro bra). If Warmbiz bra was to save on fuel usage, “No! Shopping Bag Bra” is to reduce the usage of shopping bags!

When the bra is being worn, the bag portions are folded away inside the bra cups, where they serve as extra padding. No need sponge anymore!

The bra quickly converts to a shopping bag by removing the bag portions from the cups and connecting the hooks on the bra’s underwire. The lace cups serve as decoration along with the shoulder straps, which are disconnected and tied to the top of the bag as ribbons.

The bra, available in color combinations of red, blue, green, yellow and pink, is made from the Teijin Group’s ECOPET brand of polyester fiber, which has been recycled from plastic bottles through the company’s patented EcoCircle recycling system.

Triumph International's Warmbiz Bra

Winter is here again and it's time to bring out your Warmbiz bra. A year ago, Triumph International, one of the largest European lingerie manufacturers, unveiled the "Warmbiz Bra" in Japan. This is a heated bra specially made for winter to counter Japan's rising fuel usage.

The fluffy creation contains special pads filled with an eco-friendly gel that can be easily heated in a microwave or with a hot water bottle.

The design also includes a furry boa designed to double as a winter scarf.

The bra, which comes only in white, also features a pendant shaped like a chilli pepper dangling on its front.

What Your Underwear Reveals About Your Personality

I found this analyis on what our underwear reveals about us on FunnyUndies.com rather funny. Funny thing MUST share, of course.

High-cut briefs:
Ladies who wear "granny panties" tend to be perfectionists, except when it comes to style. They care most about comfort and function. They are practical people who don't dress to impress. (Guess what? Almost all women have a pair or two.)

Boy shorts or thong:
Women who don these are confident go-getters who enjoy a challenge. They like to show off their curves, are outgoing, and open to new things. They also enjoy not having a panty line when they wear pants.
They like the thong because it makes them feel sexy even when they wear jeans, while boy shorts are cute and feminine--without baring it all.

The need to match:
Some women must have a matching bra and panty set. These confident women are quite fashion-conscious and enjoy pampering themselves.
Some might even call them spoiled or high-maintenance.

Boxers:
Wearing boxers is all about comfort, but men who prefer boxers are generally laidback, not too flashy, and light-hearted.
Boxers are the No. 1 choice in underwear for men.

Briefs:
Nicknamed tightie-whities even if they are red or blue or some other color, briefs are worn by men who are inhibited and like the restricted feel of this kind of underwear. Hey guys, it's not uncommon for women to think of you as their little brother when they find out you wear briefs.

Boxer-briefs:
Can you say the best of both worlds? Men who opt for boxer-briefs are very good at committing in relationships. Hey, they already know how to compromise since they've done it with their underwear!

Thong:
Men who wear thongs are tremendously outgoing and some are exhibitionists. Check a male thong-wearer's high school yearbook, and you'll no doubt find "Class Clown" under his name.

No underwear:
Either someone forgot to do the laundry or he is very down-to-earth and embraces a natural way of life.

Say It With Knickers

It's gonna be Christmas and everyone's looking for gifts. I went searching for novelty lingerie. Now, I don't really need anymore ladies' lingerie for myself or as gifts, I have enough to last me a last time and beyond, as I'm in this line myself.

Anyway, I look around to see the latest trends and as eye candy too. Let's just call it homework or research.

So I came across this webstore which sells knickers (panty laaaa) or boxers where you can have a personalised message on the front or maybe even back too.

They accept ANY message (up to 32 characters), any time and the item will be embroidered, boxed and gift wrapped.

I've seen their whole range. Rather novel. I wonder if there's anyone who ever ordered one with "F*** Me!" That would be mighty hilarious.

Maja Latinovic ~ the Face & Body of Wonderbra

Eva Herzigová may have been the first Wonderbra spokesmodel, but the current face and body of Wonderbra is Maja Latinovic.

Maja was born on June 25, 1980 in Kinkinda, Serbian. Maja's stature and affinity for sports drew her to basketball but that changed when at 16 years old, one of her three sisters entered her in a local modeling contest where she bagged the third place.

A model scout soon flew her to Milan and her days of shooting hoops turned to photo shoots.
Maja has worked with all the major fashion labels and the best photographers in the world. She now lives traveling between New York City, Milan and Serbia. And despite her fame, continues to harbour hopes of continuing her studies to be a doctor one day.

The World's Largest Bra

As a follow up on my post on the World's Most Expensive Bra, here's the World's Largest Bra by Stupid.com. It's a very novel idea, I must say. You can send it to someone just for a laugh, or maybe you know of someone who just might fit into it.

This bra is so huge, over three feet wide, it's ermm I think Z Cup. It is large enough to support two weather ballons, maybe it's Double Z?

Stupid.com should make a matching thong but they thought it's better to make the World's Largest Underpants instead. Men shouldn't be left out, you see?

This genuine pair of 100% cotton men's briefs has a 100-inch waist! Just like any normal briefs, it has a double-flap in front. Beats me what THAT is for.

Stephanie Seymour ~ the Mermaid

Stephanie Seymour, one of the highest paid and most sought after supermodels in the world and voted as the “Most Beautiful Model” in the 1990s, needs no introduction.
