Spring and My Corset are Busting Out All Over!

Like spring, I am busting out all over in my new strapless tapestry corset.




Very uplifting - if you know what I mean.

Just enough support at the waist to conceal those few extra pounds.

Well, I know summer is on the way and I will be increasing my weekly workout routine.

The Corset










What is it about corsets that so fascinates costume historians and fetishists alike?


For more than 500 years, women and occasionally men rigidly laced themselves up in whalebone or steel in order to be molded into some sort of physical ideal.


Consider the work of contemporary designers such as Gaultier and Lacroix, and it becomes apparent that this strange obsession continues to this day.


While there is no shortage of information on this fashion curiosity, Valerie Steele here emphasizes the aesthetic, social, and historical aspects.


As chief curator of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and the author of nearly 12 books on costume history, she is well qualified to tackle the subject and to attempt to answer "why."


The text is scholarly, yet lively and readable, and the numerous images drawn from a variety of sources such as trade cards, paintings, advertisements, book illustrations, and contemporary photos help illustrate her point.

A Little Behind - a Lot of Thongs

I am little behind in this column, but I will be catching up.




I just love this sexy crotchless lace thong with satin bow back and mini satin bows in front.

Just right for the hot weather and all those oh so sexy mini and low cut jeans.

I apologies for not keeping this column up to date, but I have been working on a exciting project that I think you will love.

Over the last month, I and members of our team have reviewed over 10,000 of the sexy outfits on the net. We searched the net for sexiest, unique and just sexy - practical items we could find. Selecting the 10 - 30 items in each category that we felt meet our criteria. We then ordered samples and tested the results on our own guy panel. The results are now in, and we have created a custom page of the sexiest, unique and just sexy - practical items. The first page focusing on Thongs is now on line, so be sure to check it out.

My favorites are the sheer thongs with butterfly front, the nude thong with hand and the Playboy Charm thongs, all on the 4 row.

With spring in the air, this is a great time to start planning for those warm days, and to heat up the air with red hot thongs.

Many of the merchants we have partnered with have a "Wish List", so be sure to register, and tell your guy(s) want you want.

I know a lot of guys read this column, so if you want you girl to wear that special sexy outfit for you, be sure to tell her about it and have her fill out a "Wish List". You know we all like lots of attention and we are all exhibitionist at heart - especially if we have a new sexy outfit to wear.

Mod Fashions - High Heel Boots

I really created a very tantalizing outfit for a 60s theme party I am attending tonight. Push up gold lame halter top, mini skit and sky high stiletto boots.



These snug fitting black stiletto boots fit over the knee and are made in stretch patent p.u. 27 inch shaft height. Did you know that the shaft height is determined by measuring from the bottom of the sole to the very top of the boot. Well, now you do.

Skin tight black material make my legs look sooo voluptuous - don't you think?






Remember 70s - Barbaraella - Twiggie - Mod Fashion - Real Metal Dresses - now I know were the term heavy metal came from. Well, I found a great site with all things 70 - fashions - movies, etc.





I guest I am on a nostalgia trip, but I just love this poster. Black nylon stocking, garter belts, push up corset, bustier and high stiletto heel shoes. It looks great on my boudoir wall. The LOOK is enchanting. How could anyone resist a woman like this? Hummm. This is a look I would love to recreate. Seductive, sexy - beckoning - take me I am yours.

Sexy Legs - Animals Prints - Dramatic Colors

Legs are in this season, and the variety of colors and styles are dazzling. The new line from Stockingirl shows this trend.


Sheer purple rattlesnake stay up stockings as seen on the right, dramatize the legs.

"The reptile printed fishnet has been surprisingly successful", commented Edward Miccinati design director for Stockingirl. "We're offering them in opaque tights, opaque leggings, sheer-to-waist pantyhose, sheer thigh highs stockings, and on fishnet."





The printed blue pinwheel print fishnet stockings pictured on the left engross the legs and enhances any outfit. The electrifying varieties of colors draw immediate attention to the legs.



Snake and reptilian prints have shown to be a popular fashion statement this season - on and off the runways.


"Hosiery is not just looked at as a fantasy item or accessory any longer."

"Young girls and women are learning to see fashion leg wear not only as a highly wearable item, but an additional must-have apparel item to wear with their skirts, heels, and boots," says Edward Miccinati, design director for the line.



Because of Stockingirl's close relationship with top stylists and designers, the company will be introducing a number of authentic designer prints and patterns that will be featured on the runways for Heatherette, Baby Phat, Nicole Romano, Tamsen, Moschino, and Just Cavalli.






This season Stockingirl will come on strong by continuing its popular printed leg wear collections.

"We have only begun to show our creativity when it comes to the print market," remarks Miccinati. Stockingirl will carry over traditional styles, such as the well-received zebra sheer to the waist pantyhose, displayed above right, cheetah and ultra sheer tiger print stockings pictured below left.

Will be exploring updated re-colored animal print looks in varying patterns for 2005.



Regal baroque and floral patterns will also continue to be signature Stockingirl leg wear styles, while venturing into both bright and subtlety soft color palettes.

Patterning this upcoming season will in general be more feminine, more vivid, more intense, and more creative when it comes to overlaying and juxtaposing disparate motifs.

Paisley will be embossed over delicate floral and dotted and striped with stunning color mixes, chic phrases will be imprinted on a collage of cultural symbols and colorful swatches, such as the fancy lace top thigh highs stockings pictured below.



The embracing of rich colors, ethnic-inspired prints, ornate design and vivid washes will be the newest stylistic approach this upcoming season

Stockingirl continually proves that any color is the new black when in comes to leg wear.

Though the company's color palette is already extensive, offering 26 colors in key styles, there will be a number of new colors making their way into their hosiery line, including: plum, sea foam, clover, and differing shades of turquoise.

Luxurious silk stockings as seen above are part of this sexy, sensuous stocking line.


One thing is sure - legs this year will be more colorful and attention grabbing them every.


Leg wear is walking onto the scene everywhere: beneath boho skirts, stuffed in furry boots, peaking out of snake-skin stilettos, or paired with woolen legwarmers.

The ad shows Paris Hilton laying on a bed wearing Guess jeans, with only the live snake for a top.

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes




I received so many nice e-mails about my Hot Shoe column last week, that I thought I would comment on another of my favorite shoe books, appropriately titled - Shoes, Shoes, Shoes.


This whimsical book fabulously displays the high heeled glamour of Andy Warhol's famed shoe drawings.


Shoes, Shoes, Shoes collects the outrageous and bedazzling images of shoes - from spikes to boots to stilettos - that are some of Warhol's icon images.

Accompanied throughout by witty Warhol quotations, such as I decided that being a shoe salesman is a really sexy job, these forty drawings, prints, and watercolors demonstrate the Pop master's special talent for transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.

The art has been culled from the archives of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and includes never before published rarities as well as popular prints from Warhol's heyday.

Warhol fans will want to try this book on for size, and will be amused by the dream of fantastically shod feet.

Hot Shoes - Retro Shoes - Oh My Shoe Fetish

Today, I am on a shoe binge. I guest I do have a shoe fetish.



Alone





Anyway, I have acquired some great new posters for my boudoir wall.

I always believed that a woman's boudoir should be sensuous, inviting and seductive - all at the same time.

I just love the fantasy retro glamour work of Luis Royo. His drawings of woman are especially alluring.

Look at the details of the drawing.

The sensuality of the shoes - high heel shoes with lace ties in front. Sexy ankle lace.

Those sexy black nylons, the legs just spread apart, the lace up corset with the string falling off the shoulder, the woman's well formed cleavage and the hair.

I just love the unkempt feel of the hair.

And those haunting eyes. Inviting, captivating - beckoning.




Dance on top ot the roof



These woman teetering in high heels on a roof top edge are very symbolic.

I really love some of the fashions from the roaring 20s.

Flappers, bath tub gin - pole sitting.

It was a really crazy era, but still I find these notes cards carry a very powerful image.











Hot Shoes: One Hundred Years






Shoes, shoes, shoes one of my favorite sexy fashion accessory.

An now there is a book covering the subject of hot shoes.


With 500 original color photographs, and two dozen vintage illustrations, this book tells the real story of Hot Shoes: One Hundred Years.

These are the shoes real women wore, and loved enough to save.

You'll see designer shoes by the likes of David Evins and Palter De Liso, who were influenced by haute couture but marketed to the upper middle-class.

Since this is a book for collectors, you'll find a true cross-section of shoe design.

There are coquettish pumps from the French Room at Chandler's, jeweled platforms by Frank More of San Francisco, and early canvas high-button shoes by Keds.

Each photo caption includes a value range, and each photo is lavishly styled.
