Miranda Kerr: Very Sexy Mom

In case you hadn't heard, Miranda Kerr and husband Orlando Bloom welcomed a son named Flynn January 6th, making Ms. Kerr the latest VSM. She's even posted a photo of herself and Flynn taken by the proud Dad that apparently some have ..issues with?



For a rather fun take on that, check this dissertation. You can leave your own Congratulations for the happy family on that first link, and get a case of logic at the third.

May We Suggest A Marie Jo Desktop?

I've collected thousands of photos from all over the net for fufL, and I'll go through them from time to time looking for the best ones to post. I'm not sure how long I've had this one from from Marie Jo's Spring/Summer 2009 Greta collection, but it became my desktop about a week ago. Not only can I not believe I didn't get around to posting it until now, but it even stopped my girlfriend in her tracks in admiration when she saw it on my computer. Anyone who knows the name of the model and photographer, please feel free to leave them in the comments so I can credit them. And if you're looking for a great new desktop photo..

Have You Seen Anything Like Candice Swanepoel In Your Garden?

Time flies; it was just December when we were watching Candice Swanepoel and other Angels in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Keep an eye out this gardening season, and see if anything like the photo above floats by your flowers. If it does, have a camera ready, because without proof, your choice of liquid refreshment will be discussed in detail.

Blue Monday 2 01 10

One-twelth of the year is gone, and some how we hadn't gotten to a post featuring Irinia Sheik yet? Consider this week's of Ms. Sheik (or Shayk) in a Serena bra and panties set from intimissimi's Winter 2009 collection as setting that right.

One More To Unwrap

And, wouldn't you like to unwrap any of the above (models or Vicky's lingerie)? I thought of doing a post about this spot, or tacking it onto one of the other VS posts of late, but I'll pass it along to you here. You've probably seen this ad directed by Transformer's Michael Bay a lot this Christmas season, but in case you haven't, or would like to check it out one more time..

Treacle of Confessions of a Lingerie Addict (formerly Stockings Addict, take note) left me a comment about it, and I'll repeat my reply here:

..shown during the Fashion Show, and with the fun excess, it seemed to fit right in. After all, how many castle staircases can you have a lingerie model run down (bounce down?) every year?
; )

BUT- and my girlfriend and I both noticed this at the same time - we were watching some other Christmas special, and the same commercial came on. A bit out of context? While we think it's fun, we wondered 'what the hell do some other people watching this special think when that comes on?' LOL

Blue Monday 12 14 09

From the 2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, here's a Blue Monday you don't see all that often, as worn by the named-from-birth-to-be-a-model Chanel Iman



Later this week, we'll do some catching up with a few models who weren't on the runway of the show this year.

Fall Lingerie Before Fall Falls

In some parts of the world, it'll soon be Summer. Where fufL is based, it'll soon be Fall. So, before it's too late, it's fitting we feature Anna Wasacz-Carter showing off items from Blush Lingerie's Fall 2009 collection. Not that that we think her bra and extremely low-rise bikini panty set will look dated anytime soon.

Victoria's Secret 2009 Fashion Show, Part 2

PINK Angel Behati Prinsloo, and Angels Marisa Miller, VS Fashion Show Host Heidi Klum, Doutzen Kroes, Miranda Kerr and Alessandra Ambrosio at the Finale.

The storied Lexington Armory in New York City played host to the 2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. You might think between this post and part one we would have covered all we wanted to; just not possible. I actually removed a few pictures from this post to save for the future. Picking up where we left off on Wednesday, more from the show, broken down by the themed segments, starting with:

PINK Planet


PINK Angel Behati Prinsloo says hello and starts off the segment that was just plain fun.


Australian Abbey Lee Kershaw's yellow PINK panties (it all makes sense) asked for attention, and succeeded in getting it.


Both my girlfriend and I got the impression Ms. Kershaw had a bit more of a role in this year's show, which we thought added value.


Elyse Taylor seemed to have a pre-designed wardrobe.. function(?) to show off more of her pink PINK panties as she got further down the runway


Shannan Click demonstrated the power of PINK

Enchanted Forest


The wonders of nature, as displayed by Doutzen Kroes



Out of all the ensembles in this section, I liked Miranda Kerr's the most. And it gives you one great excuse to drop that old line, 'Excuse me, Miss, do you have the time?'



My girlfriend was torn between Miranda Kerr's outfit and this vision in green worn by Philadelphia's Sessilee Lopez. Did I mention my girlfriend is tall (5'8.5")? And she likes boots. And she now wants Ms. Lopez's(5' 10") boots. I'm all for it, if they come with the matching bra and panties, and we'll skip the jewelry.


Lindsay Ellingson has the answer to your Red Riding Hood fetish - and the 'keeping the wolves at bay' may be a cliche, but if she's undressed like this, it still works.


Australian Abbey Lee Kershaw's outfit seemed.. 'Pheasant-y'?.



My girlfriend and I especially liked some of the print designs in this segment, like the above bra and thong bikini panties worn by Tatiana Kovylina.



The amazing I-just-had-a-baby-weeks-ago - Again! - Heidi Klum served as host once more, and made a bit more than a cameo appearance on the runway. Missing from the show, but for the same very great reasons, Adriana Lima and Karolína Kurková gave birth to a baby girl and boy, repsectively, shortly before the show's actual date of filming November 19th at the Armory in New York City (Ms. Kurvova October 29th; Ms. Lima November 16, each joining the ranks of VSMs - more on each in future fufL posts).

Romantic Journey



Ms. Ambrosio answers the question, 'How the hell do you get that lingerie through the metal detector at the airport?'


Maryna Linchuk of Belarus looks like a sun goddess. If she'd been around ages ago, we could have blamed her for melting Icarus' wings..


To be clear, we're both fans of Ms. Ebanks, but I like this a bit better than my girlfriend, who asked if she was was going fly fishing in that vest. Can you guess what one of my girlfriend's Dad's hobbies may be..?


Doutzen Kroes feather-light decorations went well with her feather-light bra and panty set


Cupid, meet Marisa Miller; Marisa Miller, meet Cupid



Say hello to Kylie Biscutti. The only part of the show my girlfriend and I weren't too crazy about was how they handled the competition to choose a new 'Runway Angel'. ('Angel Boot Camp'? Really?) Especially after the girl we both originally voted for on-line was eliminated almost immediately. The whole 'reality show-within-the-fashion-show' was a bit of a turn-off for us. We weren't going to bother to cast another vote, but decided to anyway. No offense to runner-up Jaimeelee Darley, but we both chose Kylie. It was something about her.. eyes - believe it or not - that we liked, and her slightly unpolished demeanor. Here's hoping she really gets a chance to do more with Vicky's.

It would have been nice to include all 35 or so models who appeared in this year's show, but all good things must come to an end - even if the framing on the CBS broadcast version of the show didn't clue you in to the full (or less than full) extent of Miranda Kerr's last bra and panties set - but it's a fitting, and certainly fit end:



Lingerie, underwear, Victoria's Secret, Fashion Show, 2009, Alessandra Ambrosio, Doutzen Kroes, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Miranda Kerr, Marisa Miller, Sesilee Lopez, Tatiana Kovylina, Lindsay Ellingson, Behati Prinsloo, Heidi Klum, Elyse Taylor, Maryna Linchuk, Selita Ebanks, Shannan Click, Kylie Biscutti, bra, panties, high heels,

A more wordy Part Two to come..

Blue Monday 11 30 09

Take a new look at a Blue Monday. Actually, it is. From the U.K.'s New Look, their Blossom Empire bra and Sequined Ruched (ruched?)brief in teal blue.

From The Free Dictionary.com:

ruche (rsh)
n.
A ruffle or pleat of lace, muslin, or other fine fabric used for trimming women's garments.
[French, from Old French rusche, beehive, from Medieval Latin rsca, bark of a tree (used for making beehives), of Celtic origin.]
ruched (rsht) adj.

I've always liked ruched panties; I've just never known what to call them. Never to late to learn, and you're welcome for the lesson. Worn nicely by Stephanie van Arendonk.

Leighton Meester: December 2009 GQ

Ms. Meester seems to upping the lingerie layout stakes against fellow Gossip Girl cast member Blake Lively in her feature in the December 2009 GQ Magazine. Unzipping leather, anyone?



Interestingly, both photo shoots are by Mark Abrahams.



Just a thought; isn't it about time for GG's blogger/narrator Kristen Bell to pose for a fresh set of photos? Paging Mr. Abrahams..

Joanna Krupa Dances Off Stage and Out of Her Clothes

Polish model Joanna Krupa seemed to be one of the judge's favorites, and my girlfriend was pretty sure she had a great chance of getting the mirror ball trophy on the latest U.S. edition of Dancing with the Stars. Alas, t'was not to be.



Ms. Krupa was voted off this past week, leaving the competition to be won by Mya, Kelly Osbourne or Donny Osmond. FWIW, my Mother, while comparing notes with my girlfriend now thinks Mya will be the winner. (You read it here, first!) Much was made of Ms. Osbourne early on in the competition, though, do I even have to say why if I were to root for anyone, it would be Ms. Krupa?



Maybe she should have danced in this Gemstone-ring bra and open-crotch thong panties from Bon Prix. It's not much less than some costumes I've seen while my girlfriend insists on making me watch.. er, while I'm catching DWTS for research purposes. Then again, if you feel her briefs are too brief, or think Ms. Krupa will have nothing to occupy her time in the next month, think again:



Having already seen the photos from the feature, I can tell you they won't be appearing on fufL; we're a non-nude blog, and she's not really wearing much lingerie, anyway. I'm sure you're heart-broken to hear of this.

Check out Ms. Krupa and her dance partner Derek Hough talking with Jimmy Kimmel after the elimination.

Marisa Miller's $3 Million Fantasy (Bra)

You can tell Christmas is coming. Almost all the stale Halloween candy in the stores is sold out, the same stores have had their Christmas decorations up for about 4 months, and Marisa Miller has her decorations up for the season encased in Victoria's Secret's $3 million Fantasy Bra.



This year's Hess toy truck for lingerie lovers is The Harlequin Fantasy Bra, designed exclusively for Vicky's by Damiani. It's valued at (only!) $3 Million, and has a rare, 16-carat heart-shaped champagne diamond pendant and more than 2,350 brilliant-cut white, champagne and cognac-colored diamonds. The diamonds total nearly 150 carats.



It's based on their Very Sexy Plunge Multi-Way bra, and took the designers 800 hours to make it, hand-setting each diamond. The design is supposed to remind you of the Angel wings. The research alone took 100 hours.. and if Ms. Miller was involved, I'd like to know how much the researchers had to pay to be allowed to work on the project.



This is the first time Marisa has been given the honor of wearing the Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bra on the runway in The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Tuesday, Dec. 1 at 10/9C on CBS.
