The Ultimate Lingerie Guide

Authorities here, citing the “unbridled fantasy” that the newfangled thermal undergarments could spark if left unchecked, have ordered an immediate halt to sales of men’s and women’s underwear lined on the inside with animal fur, apparently the brainchild of a local entrepreneur.

The underwear, produced by a local textile firm called Collapse, began appearing in street vendor stalls recently and was apparently targeting migrant workers who leave the Central Asian state for employment in Russia, where temperatures have plunged to Arctic levels this week.

“Traders are saying today that they have been told not to sell anymore fur underwear,” said Sergei Yezhkov, a local resident and journalist who wrote an article on the exotic undies for the web-based independent news agency Ferghana.ru.

“Maybe it is the authorities’ reaction to the article,” Yezhkov told AFP.

The article published on the web site said the fur-lined boxer shorts and women’s underwear were designed to keep all the important bits warm in temperatures as low as minus 20 C (minus 4 F).

Desperate Housewives sexpot Eva Longoria is reportedly the frontrunner to become the new face and body of Scots lingerie firm Ultimo.

However, Eva faces stiff competition (pun intended) to replace supermodel Rachel Hunter in the British-born Nicollette Sheridan, who just happens to be Eva’s co-star on the racy ABC Series.

At age 30, Eva is 12 years younger than Nicollette and is well on her way to becoming the best known face on worldwide TV as Gabrielle Solis in the hit TV show.

Other contenders are said to be supermodels Heidi Klum, 32, and Cindy Crawford, 39.

If the lingerie you bought for your sweetheart last Valentine’s Day seems to have collected cobwebs in her top drawer for almost a year now, it might just be time to bring in the experts before your reputation for romance is permanently ruined. Instead of foregoing lingerie for flowers and candy this year — or worse — buying lingerie that doesn’t fit her body OR her style, let Frederick’s of Hollywood be your own personal tour guide.

We know that lingerie shopping for someone else can be intimidating, even somewhat scary (lace, satin and silk … OH MY!) but it doesn’t have to be this way. Follow these five simple “Laws of Lingerie” to find the lingerie match for your love match and we promise your reputation will be fully restored!

FREDERICK’S OF HOLLYWOOD FIVE LAWS OF LINGERIE

1. Do judge a book by its cover!
For a girl who’s more comfortable in cotton or flannel, don’t get her seductive midriff and booty-bearing satin. Instead, show her that you know what SHE likes, not just what will make you happy, by choosing a soft and sexy camisole and boy short set. She’ll feel comfortable and look great in it with confidence to spare!

2. Green is the new pink
OK — you know your sweetheart doesn’t wear red or pink but figure “hey, it’s Valentine’s Day so why not?” WRONG! Don’t get red just because it’s heart day. If green, blue or even purple is her color, buy lingerie in her favorite hue so she can wear it all year round!

3. Offer to do her laundry
It may be flattering if you think your significant other is a smaller size than she actually is, but she won’t feel so flattered once she puts it on! Why not take this opportunity to offer to do her laundry and check out her sizes while you’re at it. A discreet peek into the top drawer ensures bonus points for being thoughtful AND having good
taste!

4. If she says she hates her thighs she really means it! If she’s sensitive about the size of certain body parts — thighs,
tummy, or booty — chances are that body zone is a sore spot in her ego. Give her lingerie that will accentuate her positives while helping to hide the negative. For example, if she loves her upper body but is not too big on her thighs, try a silk or satin chemise. They cover the area and give a soft smooth look. If you really want to pile on the charm, top it off with a matching robe!

5. Innerwear as Outerwear is always HOT!
Innerwear as outerwear has made its way to the height of the fashion scene this year. A corset paired with jeans makes for a great “night-out” outfit. Additionally, corsets take in 2-3 inches in the waist. Generally, corset sizes come in the same sizes as a bra so if you’ve done your research you’re good to go!

If after these tips you’re still not sure about sizes or style, you can never go wrong with a fragrance set or even a Frederick’s of Hollywood gift card. One last tip: Frederick’s of Hollywood’s Valentine’s line includes fashions ranging anywhere from $19-$60 so you can load up on alluring lingerie for your sweetheart, flirty pajamas for your sister, or a glamorous robe for your mother, all without breaking the bank.

For nearly 60 years, Frederick’s of Hollywood has been the leader in pioneering innovative, alluring lingerie. With more than 150 boutique stores nationwide, world-famous catalog and online shop, Frederick’s has been recognized as one of the world’s most well-known brands. For more information, visit here.

Spoylt Lingerie is pleased to announce that it will be co-sponsoring HBO’s “Luxury Lounge(R)” for the 2006 Golden Globe Awards, January 14th - 16th of 2006 at the majestic Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills. HBO will be inviting some of today’s most popular stars from shows including Entourage, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Six Feet Under, The Sopranos, and Deadwood to participate in a 3 day marathon of pampering and gifting by some of today’s hottest brands.

Spoylt will be gifting selections from its Temptation and Decadence Collections, including three of its most talked about pieces: the Temptation Party Garter, Temptation Feather Skirt, and Decadence Toolbelt. Monica Schenker makes celebrity outreach her top priority as Vice President of Public Relations and Corporate Communications for Spoylt.

for enhancing Spoylt’s brand awareness,” says Schenker. “There is no stronger
way to advertise than by having a celebrity wear or make reference to your
brand in a positive light.“

Her strategy seems to be working as Spoylt has quickly become quite a sensation in Hollywood. Spoylt products have been
featured on some of today’s hottest shows such as Desperate Housewives, Two and a Half Men, Nip/Tuck, and Entourage, while their A-List celebrity customer list continues to grow.

As the festive season draws near and thoughts turn to presents for loved ones, those seeking to add a bit of spice and glamor to their yuletide gift list may well consider buying their wife, girlfriend, lover, partner or mistress some designer lingerie.

And if they’ve got some spare cash sitting around — $15 million of spare cash to be precise — there is really only one designer lingerie set that will fit the bill (or fill the Christmas stocking): The Red Hot Fantasy combo, from U.S. underwear giant Victoria’s Secret.

Launched in 2002 at the opening of the Victoria’s Secret store on Broadway — where it was modeled by Brazilian fashion icon Gisele Bundchen — the Red Hot Fantasy comprises a brassiere and matching briefs.

This is no normal bra and briefs though. Listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the most extravagant and expensive items of underwear ever created, the Red Hot Fantasy is made of finest red satin, and covered with an array of hand-cut gemstones. The bra alone sports over 1,300 stones, including 300 carats-worth of glittering Thai rubies surrounded by sprays of diamonds. Such is its value and uniqueness — only one was ever made — that the purchase price includes free delivery in an armored van, complete with specially trained security guards (whether the guards remain with the lingerie once it has arrived is unclear). To date, no doubt on account of its exorbitant price tag, the Red Hot Fantasy remains unsold, although it has, apparently, attracted numerous enquiries since appearing in the Victoria’s Secret catalogue. For those looking for something similarly spectacular, but not wanting to spend $15 million, do not despair, however, because over the last few years the Victoria’s Secret designers have created a number of other jewel-studded lingerie sets that offer the same extravagant under-clothes experience, but at slightly less cost (the company has taken to producing one unique super-lingerie item each Christmas). For $12.5 million, for instance — a full $2.5 million less than the Red Hot Fantasy — you could wow your partner with the Heavenly Star Bra, the latter studded with 1,200 Sri Lankan pink sapphires and with a whopping 90-carat emerald-cut diamond nestling seductively between its D-cups (the diamond alone is worth $10.6 million). Matching briefs can be bought for an extra $750,000.
Very Sexy Bra
The $11 million “Very Sexy” bra, with its 70-carat Excelsior Diamond

Even cheaper, at $11 million, is the “Very Sexy” bra, from the center of which dangles the spectacular 70-carat Excelsior Diamond, the latter cut from the second largest rough diamond ever found. And for a mere $10 million you could stay abreast of the world of high fashion with either the Star of Victoria Fantasy Bra — 2,500 carats-worth of diamonds and sapphires — or 2004’s Heavenly 70 Fantasy bra, the latter comprising over 2,900 pave diamonds on an 18-carat white gold background, the fruit of over 275 hours’ labor. As with the Red Hot Fantasy bra, all of these have yet to find a buyer, although according to Victoria’s Secret spokesperson Marnie McLaughlin: “We’ve come close. Every year we get tens of thousands of calls about these items from all over the world.” Alternatively, for those too miserly and Scrooge-like to spend even a paltry $10 million for a Christmas brassiere, the Victoria’s Secret’s regular underwear range starts at $25.

Rachel Hunter will not have her lingerie contract renewed next year, itv.com says.

The estranged wife of Rod Stewart had controversially taken over from Stewart’s new fiance Penny Lancaster. MJM International says they want to help her end “on a high” after her two years with the firm.

They called their time with Hunter “fantastic,” saying that “she has been so professional…we will always look on her with genuine affection.”
