Nice Angles
Sorry to say, many are ending 2008 in the red. If you have to do that, better you look like her while doing it.
Pass The Bubbly Please
Ah. The New Year is upon us - where did the time go? One more reason to celebrate with friends and loved ones, and one more reason to dress up and look fabulous. I'm sure you have all found your dresses already but I just passed by the store window of BCBG the other day. BCBG has always attracted me, there is something simple and ethereal about their dresses, and their cutting (for me at least, is superb).
Their dresses make you feel almost old hollywood glam or simply modern chic. I know they're rather simple, definitely something you've seen before, but talk about excellent draping! I don't know, there's something about them that makes me fall in love.
Love the velvet bodice of this dress!
This dress is actually much more beautiful in person.
Aughhh...I need to get this - look at that sleeve detail!
So simple, so lovely (especially the colour). Hm, I will advise you not to wear a headband that the model demonstrates...
Ok, kind of generic I know, princess cut blah blah blah. But the material! And a colour that would look great on all skin tones.
What are you doing for New Year's? &equally important, what will you be wearing?

Good Golly Boots!
I found (and purchased) two pairs of boots this weekend.
Yes, two.
They are comfortable ... and I love, love, love them.
Steve Madden - Legion
INC Brook Riding Boot - mine are chocolate brown and aren't so shiny.
Oh sales how I love thee.
Yes, two.

Tanned, Rested and Ready For That New Year's Party?
But aren't you supposed to put on those tiny little protective goggles, and take off your bra and panties, first? That will make for an interesting tan, though..
Merry Christmas To All, and To All A Goodnight
Merry Christmas everyone! We hope you had a wonderful evening and a beautiful day! Were in good company with family and friends, wrapped up warm - or dressed downright cool! - with good food, wherever you are!
This spread instantly made me want to layer up with colours and scarves - I actually decided that I had too much black in my closet! Is that even possible? Love the fresh faces and the braided hair. What wonderful winter inspiration - take the look of fall and bring with you into winter, enough of the dull greys and the generic black. I can't believe I just said that.

Oh! Christmas Tree
May your view of your Christmas tree be as merry and bright. Merry Christmas from frankufotos Lingerie.
Happy Christmukkah!
Something to drool over on this special day....
Yes, I'm in love with red pumps! But just to add some variety, these are not Louboutins (remember the Turkey day pumps?), but from Stuart Weitzman. Dear Santa.....
Happy Christmukkah everyone!
Psst! I heard Bloomies is having a big sale on the 26th!

Scented
I indulge in perfume. I tend to put too much on and think nothing of it. I'm a dedicated and committed wearer of four scents, all of which are used in a rotational manner, depending on mood, weather, clothes and/or occasion. They are much more than just the fantastic four.
My first ever - must wear all the time - is this discontinued line of Ines De La Fressange. After all, she was Lagerfeld's muse.
I found this a couple of years ago - extremely fitting for Spring or Fall. Roger & Gallet Bouquet Imperial
Something fresh after a hot shower, or light for a summer day I wear Baby Bench. What's that? Yes, a perfume for babies. Not really a perfume actually, scented water? I have no idea, but it smells damn good AND it's made in the Philippines! Subtle and soft.
And last, but certainly not least, Marc Jacobs' Daisy. Divine. Long lasting, beautiful!
What's your scent?

Gemma Atkinson is decorated all shiny and blue for Christmas.. a little more tanned than some of us this time of year, but I'm sure the lady gets around.
Beautiful sexy ex girlfriend bra picture
Our ex girlfirend, despite with our broken relationship, will still be appearing in our life. Their hair, body, eyes, dresses, and bra still come in our dream. I likey a lot! Classic girl-next-door type and a real beauty to boot. As I’m sure you already noticed, we don’t get a great look at her natural boobs, but judging by this series of pictures her boobs make little difference in my overall opinion. The last three pics tell me everything I need (or want) to know about her. Plus, I really like how in the beginning of this series, just looks so innocent and classy, but by the end she’s evidently a dirty girl. Just how I love ‘em!
Richard says there really wasn’t any one reason why he and his ex girlfriend split-up. For all intents and purposes, she was a great girlfriend. Not only was she easy on the eyes, but he says she was cool as hell and she was never one to deny him sexual gratification. They were together for quite a while, but they began to grow apart; wanting different things out of life. Unfortunately for Richard, he didn’t notice all this until she had already suddenly dumped him without explanation. He finally figured it out, but he was a little pissed-off on how she went about it.

Ctrl BG: A Shortcut to Financial News 12/21
After MUCH drama, the fall of the auto industry in the US has finally been avoided- at least temporarily anyway. In the end, Bush signed over $17.4 to Chrysler and GM on Friday in return for non voting warrants and more oversight on executive pay etc. In the end, they made a full circle and the money will be coming from the TARP fund, which brings up the really intriguing question of whether the government has opened the pandora box and now other industries will be lining up to get a share of the rest of the TARP fund. Paulson has already asked Congress to release the rest of the $350 billion TARP fund early, when just a few days ago he said that it will not be necessary. Just when we thought we figured out how the TARP is going to work, they change their minds. This does not bode well for the government, because it makes them look like they have no idea what they're doing. Maybe they don't! On the other hand, the wider purpose of TARP is to support the financial market stability, and I daresay, it will probably not be very stable if the auto industry went bankrupt!
On the sidelines, the Madoff scandal continues to unfold, revealing many influential individuals exposed to this fraud. The S&P cut the rating of 11 US and EU banks, including Bank of America, Barclays Bank, Citibank, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase Bank, Morgan Stanley, Royal Bank of Scotland, UBS and Wells Fargo Bank. I guess if ratings must be cut, at least there is safety in numbers. What are you going to do when everyone goes down?
Outside of the States, it looks like the land of chocolate and waffles is not doing very well. Belgium's attempt to bailout Fortis got frozen as Prime Minister Yves Leterme tendered his resignation after having reportedly politically meddling to sway a court ruling. Apparently this is the third time their government collapsed. I had no idea.

Adriana Lima: Scent of a Dream Angel / frankufotos Lingerie's 500th Post
Earlier this Fall, VS Angel Adriana Lima had the honor of introducing a new Dream Angels fragrance, Wish at Victoria's Secret's Herald Square location in Manhatten.
Proving she does, upon rare occasion, wear clothing over her wonderfully sexy lingerie. She also appeared in the fragrance's ad campaign as her usually undressed self:
And one more featuring Ms. Lima's two best features.. her eyes..
All this in a year where Ms. Lima was accorded the honor of modeling the 2008 Black Diamond Fantasy Bra as well as opening The 2008 VS Fashion Show. Now, it's frankufotos Lingerie's honor to feature her in our 500th blog post. Here's to 500 more as beautiful.
The Girl With The Short Hair
Last year I went from that was down below the middle of my back, to a really bad short japanese-boy-rockstar cut. My hair grows fast so while I was mortified & stuck with pinning it back and trying to tie it up in all sorts of ways, with ribbons and clips, it eventually grew back to past my shoulders by September of this year. Being stuck with thick, thick hair I got fed up and went to go get it cut again into a straight across, above the shoulders/longish bob.
Then, I went home and chopped it all off to have it super short in the back, with an A-line cut in the front. Kind of like Victoria Beckham, but less extreme and shorter. How does it feel? Totally awesome. Here are some cuties that might inspire you to cut it short.
The best part is that you figure out fun ways to do your hair, it's just easier to take of! Best part? If you can work the curling iron and get a bunch of curls, it's completely adorable. It definitely becomes a deciding factor on how you style your outfits.
What are your thoughts on girls with short hair?
As for my next hair cut? I'm definitely going to go for a Shannyn Sossamon look.

Quarter Panties? Worth Far More Than 25 Cents
Full cut coverage, thongs, hipsters, briefs, g-strings.. if they have shirts with quarter-sleeves, would these be quarter-panties?
When Does A Tie Count As Lingerie?
When it's all Jennifer Aniston is wearing, as she barely isn't on the cover of the January 2009 edition of the U.S. GQ, we'll let it slide. Besides, she is wearing some mens' CK underwear inside the issue:
In the text, she's yakking about some ex and his current squeeze, and the more important photos are by Michael Thompson.
'Hold that pose.. juuuuust a little longer.. you, on the Ms. Aniston's left, can you hold you arm a little higher against her breast?' What do you suppose these guys paid to be allowed into this gig?
If you're still looking at the text of this post at all, Ms, Aniston's new (PG-rated!) movie Marley & Me opens Christmas day in the U.S., her GQ issue hits the stands two days earlier. A perfect gift for your ..oh, say it with me.. friends..
But, wait, there's more!
From the 12 17 08 Late Show with David Letterman:
Little Frivolous Somethings
When I was a kid, Christmas was about finally getting that one toy I've wanted all year long. When I grew older, it was about finally getting that one big fashion item that I've been craving for since all season. Now that I'm a bit older and (hopefully) wiser, I'm beginning to think that maybe that perfect Christmas gift is not about getting that big ticket item, but about getting that little frivolous something that will make you smile. Because really, I'd like to be present when a big ticket item is bought for me- just in case anything goes wrong. Besides, you'd be really broke if you bought something big for everyone you loved!
When I say frivolous, I do not mean something completely useless. It has got to be something that I would actually use, that little something that I've been meaning/wanting to buy but have put it on the backlog because there are more practical things on my list (like toothpaste, vacuum cleaners and Tweezerman tweezers- though if all else fails, these would not be a bad idea. At least they're useful!). Here are a few things on my backlog:
Essie nail varnish set. I am a HUGE fan of professional nail varnish (they go on SO much smoother and chips less!), Essie in particular. One can never have too much nail varnish, because they come in so many different colors and your favourite ones will start to dry out and coagulate after a while. I am especially loving this little gift set from Essie, because it encompasses all the classic colors one MUST have in their repertoire. They are also in delightfully small bottles that are actually more easy to carry and well, just the right size. I have personally never finished a bottle of nail varnish. Plus, did I mention that they are only $15 (they are usually $6-7 a bottle)!
The next thing on my list, are Shu Uemura fake lashes. Frivolous? Yes, for $20, they can only be used for one night. But fun? Definitely! I'd love to know what it feels like to have ridiculously long and perfect lashes for one night. This would also be the perfect time to give them out, because what better time is there to try fake lashes then New Years Eve?
Speaking of New Years Eve, I have a vision. A vision of myself in a simple dress (of undecided color as of now) with a low side bun accessorized with this fabulous piece of purple feather (right). And if that plan should go awry, I can be masculine chic, in this adorable hat (left). I can even use this for Halloween next year! Spending $18 on literally a piece of feather is definitely not practical, but it will definitely draw a smile from me :)
Other random cute things on my list is a munny and a lego Ipod speaker. I don't really need ipod speakers, but I definitely wouldn't mind one that is so small and cute! And actually, I have a Munny. But mine didn't come out as I would like it to, so I'd love a second chance to decorate a Munny (including markers and other decorating materials would also be a nice touch).
Not exactly "little" , but I've always been very intrigued with lomography. I love taking pictures and I'd love to try out the different effects of lomography. The camera is not too expensive at $50 (compared to real digital cameras anyway), but if you factor in film and developing etc, it is actually a very expensive random hobby. Like those polaroids back in the days!
The purple frame (left) is not just a random piece of art. It is a mini DNA portrait! HG and I saw it on CNBC's list of weird gift ideas and our inner nerds are awaken. You really cannot get more personalized than a picture of your own DNA composition. And for someone to go to the effort of collecting your DNA sample and then go have it made.... that's a LOT of effort.
Then there are classes. Cooking classes, dancing classes, it would just be FUN to take a random class with friends even though you will never be able to replicate that 5 layer chocolate cake you just made at home. My friends just did a Christmas Cupcake decorating class, and I am SO jealous, because it looked so much fun. I wish I was there! Sur la Table offers cooking classes for $69 and I'm sure there are lots more similar places that I don't know of yet. Whatever you want to learn, there will be a class for it somewhere!
And last on my list is a really cute and big stuff toy. Something cute so it'll look good on my bed and something big and cushiony so I can lean on it while I read. I know, I am a kid at heart :P 8 more days til Christmas!!!

Oh boy, oh boy
How do you like your boy to look? Mine is the usual jeans and t-shirt kinda guy, but I like a little styled grunge to be honest!
A little flannel can go a long way. Too much flannel can be tacky and "OH LOOK I AM A HIPSTER."
Perhaps a little too trendy with the scarf and all - but nonetheless a rather eye-pleasing outfit! I love the checkered shirt.
I love this. I love the coat. He looks so... historical!
Casual, cute, playful! Lego belt!
Umm...yes, hello and hello.
Boys with style are big in my book - a little character like a neck scarf or a sharp looking jacket can make all the difference. Just enough scruff balanced out by the perfect amount of tidiness. And of course, excellent manners. Chivalry is not dead and of course style for men is alive as ever. Just a few things that make me sigh.
So tell me, how you would you like your man to dress?
