The Rise of Man: Adam's Take on Lingerie
Eve is often blamed for the fall of Adam, mankind if you will. Why does she always take the blame for all of the world’s temptation? One possible reason for this: Lingerie. Curse or Blessing?
Is this going to be a new trend? Well, if company’s such as La Perla with their Black Label Collection (pictured above and debuting in Spring/Summer 2009) or nearly any item in the Agent Provocateur line continue to be part of our ladies intimate collections, men everywhere will be faced with a tough dilemma. It's a dilema I welcome any day!

Tantalizing Trivia ~ onGossamer
QUESTION: onGossamer, the exquisite lingerie line, was named after a famous quote by:
A. Henry David Thoreau
B. William Shakespeare
C. Emily Dickinson
D. William Butler Yeats
During Eve's recent visit to Fashion Week / Las Vegas, we spoke with onGossamer and discovered that the owner was head over heals for Shakespeare at the time that he and his wife were naming their lingerie company. As a result, "onGossamer" took its inspiration from Shakespeare's quote, "Faeries flitting on gossamer wings are a common sight. Their wings of rainbow colors unfold quietly, taking flight."
ANSWER: If you answered "B" above then you are correct.
To see some of the lingerie inspired by Shakespeare's fairy wings, take a look at this post for a few images from the collection.
Calypso Garden Bra ($46) and Bikini ($24) look like your lost in a fanciful dream (image above). To purchase, click on onGossamer Calypso lingerie at Nordstrom.
For some luxurious camisoles, onGossamer's Sobe Safari Collection has the Beaded Camisole (image top center of post) in a Cheebra print mesh with built-in shelf bra. A sequined tiger on front completes the look and can be purchased at Gigi's Closet for $58 (on sale from $78).
Also from the same collection, the Mesh Camisole (image above center) is "jazzed up with a metallic stud tiger on a white background" is $50 (on sale from $68). To purchase, click on Gigi's Closet / onGossamer.
Inspired by this line, "OnGossamer has made a contribution to the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force, to help the herd and insure adequate water supply to the wild animals."

Lingerie Body: Victoria Beckham
The latest Armani ad update with the Beckhams features Victoria (image below). The Daily Mail states that "David, 33, first signed a £20 million deal to become the new global ambassador of the fashion house in 2007.
His 34-year-old wife followed suit with her own £12 million three-year deal late last year, with Italian designer Giorgio Armani praising her as an 'intriguing woman'.
His 34-year-old wife followed suit with her own £12 million three-year deal late last year, with Italian designer Giorgio Armani praising her as an 'intriguing woman'.
In the past, Mrs Beckham has claimed she 'looks really awful naked', complaining of 'saggy skin' on her stomach following three pregnancies."
Isn't it refreshing to see that Victoria is just like an every day woman who wrestles with her body image? Did you notice how stunning she looks in these images?!
I admire how honest and humble Victoria is when talking about her feelings toward her body. She's a great example of how we, as women, can be our biggest critics. People may see beauty, and, she may see the flaws. We do that to ourselves all the time.

The Chemise: Sexy & Comfortable for every woman every night
Chemises started out as protective undergarments in the Middle Ages, essentially. They were worn under dresses as long smocks, protecting the body from oils and sweat. Men and women alike wore chemises, typically as a one-piece. Chemises originated around the time of the Roman Empire and carried over into the Middle Ages as a popular choice for undergarments. Currently, people continue to wear a version the chemise, mostly as the modern T-shirt.
Today's chemises are made from a variety of materials for women. They come in all kinds of lengths. Some have fitted tops with long flowing skirts and others are short and flirty with matching panties. These loose fitting garments have lost their full sleeves in favor of thin straps and delicate styling puts the chemise at the top of the list for naughty lingerie.
Among the different choices for materials are:
* Mesh: Leave something to the imagination with a sheer mesh material. Still feel like you're covered, but naughty enough for a peek here and there.
* Silk: The ultimate in pampering, silk feels so good next to your skin and men can't resist it either.
* Chiffon: Light, airy, and oh-so-glamorous. Bring out the diva in yourself with sexy lingerie of chiffon.
* Lace: For the ultimate in elegance and femininity, lace is a timeless classic.

Chemises are ideal for those women looking to explore the world of women's undergarments with a safety net. A chemise can be anything and everything in the world of seduction, from wild, tormenting flare to delicate, sensual discretion. Chemises can work to provide sexy cool to any body type and are available in virtually any price range, making them the model seduction device for today's modern woman. If you want to add to your naughty lingerie without going broke, chemises are a quick and easy way to do it.
And the best part? Chemises are comfortable enough to wear on a regular basis. Far too many women have a misconception about sexy lingerie and think that in order to look sexy they have to suffer with tight fitting garments. But chemises aren't just for wearing in the bedroom, like camisoles, there are some chemises designed as dresses. One of the best ways to enjoy sexy lingerie is to wear it simply because it makes you feel good. Everyone wants to feel beautiful, whether or not they have someone to share it with. Go ahead and treat yourself to something naughty - or nice!
The Virtues of Luxurious Lingerie
The 8 Virtues:- Silky intimates on your skin all day
- Feeling confident and only you and/or your mate knows why
- Beautiful lingerie puts a swing in your step
- First thing in the morning, putting on sexy, romantic, glamorous or classic lingerie starts the day off right
- Reminds you that it may be a man's world in business, but you have a secret weapon
- It's the one piece of clothes that expresses how you truly feel and no one need know but you
- It's the perfect detail to peek through your clothing on an evening out
- An inexpensive way to revamp your wardrobe without breaking the bank
One of Elle Macpherson's favorite bras, the Dentelle Bra, is featured above. Not only is the Dentelle Bra ($32.49 - $65) and matching Dentelle Bikini ($28) gorgeous in pictures, I'm also completely in love with them in person! They're very flattering on the body and made me feel ultra sexy wearing them. I even wore them during a four hour road trip. Guess what? I didn't mind. Once I put on the luxurious lingerie, my mood transformed from humming and hawing over schlepping the windy road in a cramped car to embracing a glamorous adventure up the coast to a romantic B&B. That's the magic of luxurious lingerie!
Some of my favorite lingerie is made by Elle Macpherson Intimates and the Matahari lingerie set (directly above in fuchsia and below left in ink) are just two more of them. The Impressa set (image below right in ink) is equally stunning. To purchase the Dentelle lingerie set or see further Elle Macpherson Intimates, go to Barenecessities/Elle Macpherson Intimates.
No matter what, dear Lingeristas, I wish all of you at least one luxurious lingerie set so that you will personally know what I mean when I say, "Celebrate Your Inner Eve."
