GPS Lingerie Upsets Some, Entices Others

Brett Singer — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 20:00:00 GMT

Parents everywhere worry about how to keep track of their daughters.

Brazilian lingerie maker Lucia Lorio has the answer to your prayers – GPS lingerie!

OK, any parent who would buy something like this for their daughter (or son for that matter) should receive a visit from Child Services. But The Daily Mail says that "feminists around the world have reacted with horror" to the location-aware undies. They think it feels too much like a, "modern-day, high-tech chastity belt."

You may not be surprised to learn that the manufacturer feels differently. "This collection... is a wink to women and a challenge to men because, even if she gives him the password to her GPS, she can always turn it off," says the designer. He thinks these dopey undergarments are for the "modern, techno-savvy woman."

Ladies, would you ever wear something like this? And guys, would you buy this for your woman?

Turns Out Kids' Lingerie NOT Just April Fools' Joke

Amy S.F. Lutz — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 12:23:00 GMT

How weird is this? In his April Fools' Day post, "Adult Clothing Maker Introduces Lingerie For Kids," Cole Gamble introduced "Amore Designs," who was allegedly promoting a line of "nauhgty sleepwear" (his spelling error, not mine; come on, Cole, a little proof-reading wouldn't kill you!) for little girls.

Readers who made the jump were chastised, "What, you really clicked on this post? Of course there is no such thing as baby lingerie. April Fool's, you weirdo."

But, it turns out, the joke's on Cole. And on all of us who thought there was a limit as to how low some slimeballs will stoop to earn a buck.

Introducing La Senza, a lingerie chain from the UK, who recently introduced "La Senza Girl," a line of adult-style lingerie for girls 5-12.

The slogan, and I kid you not: "Why should grown-ups have all the fun?"

Shockingly, critics from politicians to children's charities lined up to lambast La Senza for sexualizing children.

In response, La Senza removed the line from its website, but will continue to sell the items in its stores. Marketing Director Lisa Bond maintained that the line was "entirely age-appropriate" - including, I suppose, the lacy camisoles.

So, here's the challenge for next year, Cole - try to think of something so depraved it won't actually materialize a week after you make it up.

Naughty or Nice? Who Cares? Lingerie Dolls Are A Perfect Holiday Gift

Madeline Holler — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 21:03:00 GMT

I am super excited about the just-mailed Victoria’s Secret holiday catalogue because it’s going to make “Santa’s” job so much easier when it comes to gifts for my daughters. I have been wondering how to get my older one more interested in her appearance and the sexy, sexy things that are out there for her to experiment with, feel pretty in, those things that will help her upgrade from just girl to an even better girly-girl.

I mean, right now her response to bras is giggles, maybe a rousing chant of “boobs, boobs!” with her little sister, so I’d like to find a way to get her to take it more seriously. After all, she’s going to be seven years old soon.

Enter: the VS Pink label, and especially these plush dress-up dolls!

Described as “plush and pretty plaything for the ultimate girly-girl. Comes with two interchangeable outfits: lingerie and a dress,” interchangeable, I suppose, because when you’re wearing one, surely you’re not wearing the other! Sizzle.

Just get her a Barbie, you say? She has those. Whatever. Barbie isn’t going to get her celebrating her (non-existent) sexuality any more than Mattel’s other pink and purple toys, you know? How’s Barbie going to get her comfortable in a AAAA push-up and tiny-heiny thong in time for school pictures next year? (Yes, she'll wear something over them, I just want her to feel scandalously pretty.) See, I figure interacting with her plush girly-girl VS doll -- slipping on the tiny bras or stripping her down for a late-night tickle fight -- she’s opening her mind to the Victoria’s Secret brand, a company that works to demonstrate how girls really look and how they love to (mis)behave (wink!). Having fun with the soft, happy dolls -- with their youthful hairstyles and adolescent proportions -- could help take some of the “for women only” notions surrounding Victoria’s Secret, and skimpy bras and underwear in general, out of her pretty (and pre-sexy) little head. Together, they’ll usher her into the tender, mysterious phase that, seriously, has been put off far too long. Why wait for actual breasts when you can create them with push-up gel bras in fun, party colors? Quit revealing your high-waisted, floral, combed-cotton spanky pants! These low-rise, high-cut bikini’s will lengthen those 6X legs better than any pair of stilettos. When she’s a little bigger,she'll eat up the panties packaged as lollipops and ice-cream cones! Lickably sweet!

If girls just understood that underneath it all, they’re fun, playful, sexy, girly-girls who love nothing more than putting on and taking of big satiny microfiber undies, I wouldn’t have to spend $15 each on the Victoria’s Secret dolls. But I will, because I get it.

Whatever it takes, you know? Whatever it takes.

"Hot Milk" Lingerie: Pregnancy Porn or Just Pregnant?

Karen Murphy — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 14:04:00 GMT

"Maternity underwear." Ew. As a kid I used to read the Sears catalog incredulously, searching for meaning and understanding in the pictures of women with grossly swollen abdomens covered with supportive-looking thick white fabric. Ew. In pregnancy, I studiously avoided anything that smacked too much of uber-maternity, choosing instead to opt for the under-belly look. Tents with bows? No thank you.

So how cool is it that manufacturers have begun catering to real women who don't want to cover up their fertility? The option of sexy maternity and nursing wear is finally at hand, and none too soon if you ask me. Even though, for me, pregnancy and the early months of motherhood were the least sexy of my life. By far. Still, something pretty and colorful totally beats ugly supportive let's-just-cover-her-up, don't you think?

Apparently, though, some people think the pregnant body is decidedly unsexy. Or maybe too sexy: after all, to be pregnant, one must have had sex, I'm pretty sure. And they're calling ads for "Hot Milk" maternity lingerie "soft porn."

Hello? Porn? So..if there's a fertile belly pictured, this is porn? Sorry, I just don't see it. Sure, the model doesn't maybe look quite real (where are the stretch marks?), but I certainly don't see porn here.

But maybe pregnant women should just go into seclusion the way they used to. Pul-eeze.
