Vintage Lingerie

I recently received an e-mail from a guy who was looking for old design underwear. Now, I really can't think of a reason why someone would wanna torture herself with vintage lingerie, unless she is an actress who is required to strip off her Victorian gown on stage, or something like that.

Anyway, that e-mail intrigued me and off I went online looking for vintage lingerie and I found this online store called SleeknChic.com which deals in vintage lingerie and stockings. In short, vintage = antique = ancient = OLD.

I'm not sure there are anyone who still wants to wear these items. They look older than my grandmother's era.

Some of the pieces are new, some are gently worn. Some have storage spots, some are in mint condition.

The more I look at the items, the more I can't figure out who would want to wear these. They definitely are not for daily usage, definitely not suitable for Malaysia weather (look so stuffy!) and MOST definitely unsexy!!

uugghh give me modern lingerie anytime!

Ergonomic Underwear for the Well-endowed

Some of you may know that I sell lingerie online. Due to this, I do a lot of research on what is hot, what is not and a lot of my male friends have been subjected to my interviews on what they like and what they don't.

Well, so far, I haven't really sold any men's items in a big way except for the odd pieces here and there. There are men who told me to bring in men's g-strings. I asked my friends and they told me that men don't like wearing Gs. But then there are men who told me that they wear female lingerie, so what is what?

The preferred men's underwear in the United States is the boxers. Walk one round in one of the shopping complexes and you will even have a hard time looking for regular briefs.

Recently, I came across ergonomic underwear. Ergowear.com is an online store that sells ergonomic men's underwear and swimwear. Ergonomic underwear is generally targeted at men for obvious reasons.

I first came across the word "ergonomic" when I had the opportunity to test out an ergonomic office chair. It really does fit the body so well, it's like being one with the chair.

And to my friend who told me, "My balls big lahhh" in reply to my question on why he doesn't wear G-strings, perhaps ergo thongs is the answer for him.

Elle Macpherson Intimates - Advertising Campaign

I recently came across images that were used in an old advertising campaign of Elle Macpherson Intimates. Yes, this is the lingerie line owned by supermodel Elle "The Body" Macpherson.

Elle Macpherson is very famous in her home country, Australia and understandably, Elle Macpherson Intimates is the number one selling women's lingerie line there.

Anyway, in this post, I would like to feature some really artistic images that were used. If you look at the images, the face of the model is never revealed. These images remind me of the Wong Kar Wai movie, In The Mood For Love.

In the movie, the faces of the spouses of Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung were never revealed. We could only hear them but not see them. It's intriguing and fuels our imagination. It's up to us to give them a face.

If you have watched the movie, you'd know what I mean. If you haven't, what are you waiting for?

Gisele Bundchen ~ Top Supermodel of the World

After writing my previous post, I realised that I have yet to dedicate one post to Gisele Bundchen, the top supermodel of the world, apart from mentioning her in passing in connection with being one of Victoria's Secret Angels.

Gisele Caroline Bundchen was born on July 20th, 1980, in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. She was spotted by an Elite agent in a Sao Paulo McDonald's while eating Big Mac with her friends when she was 14 years old (make mental note to eat at McD!)

She moved to the city against her father's wishes and at 15, participated in and won the "Elite Look Modeling Competition".

Gisele, standing at 5ft 11in, is a natural beauty. Perhaps it's all in the genes. Her five sisters, Raquel, Graziela, Gabriela, Patricia, and Rafaela are all waiting to follow in her footsteps.

Gisele, who refused a role in the upcoming Charlie's Angels, is touted as the most beautiful girl in the world and has appeared on the cover of all major glossy fashion magazines.

Gisele's boob size has been a controversial topic. Many had questioned if they were fake but she has denied to have had implants. Although Gisele has been shot almost naked many times over, she is said to have never fully revealed her breasts (that is, if you ignore my bonus image lah). Oh, what a tease :p

Gisele has redefined the word "Supermodel" and is the all time highest paid model. She is currently dating Leonardo DiCaprio. Oh... the lucky devil!
