Nicole Gill: Beautiful
From concept to design execution, modeling, photography and website, new lingerie line Nicole Gill Corsetry & Lingerie is just that: Beautiful. As her site says,
Nicole Gill Lingerie is a bespoke brand which specialises in authentic steel boned corsets and luxury lingerie pieces, using only the most elegant silks and laces. Each corset is handmade to exact measurements, ensuring that the body is shaped to perfection with an exquisitely cinched waist and silhouette. We aim to create unique lingerie pieces that make every woman feel elegant and beautiful.

Her first collection, called 'Welcome to the Tea-party' (as in Wonderland) is inspired by Victorian times (What? There's more than one way to spin that concept and lingerie, and this way is a much higher-end and hand-crafted line).
the Lucinda Corset, Sarah-Louise bra and Layla silk briefs
the Charlotte corset and Rosalie silk briefs
Check out an interview with Ms. Gill herself at Lingerieblog.co.uk,
If she looks vaguely familiar, it may be because her line's model is her sister, Charlotte Emily Anne (Gill). You also can't log onto her site and not appreciate the wonderful photography and web design. Both are by an apparently multi-talented man by the name of James Kemp. A great addition to imaginative lingerie.

One That Almost Made Valentines Week: Natassia Malthe
As perfect for Valentines Week it would have been, we thought this lovely visage of dancer/actress Natassia Malthe so spectacular that it could stand on it's own.
Miss USA 2010: The Lingerie Competition
In the past, beauty pageant contestants have gotten in trouble over revealing photos; This year, the Miss USA pageant is just cutting to the chase. Or, to the lingerie, as evidenced by the above image of Miss Missouri, Ashley Strohmier (well, it is the Show-Me state) and of Miss California, Nicole Michele Johnson (favored to win) below
Not that the idea of doing official glamour lingerie photos of each of the contestants has gone over well with all:
Miss Pennsylvania, Gina Cerilli (above) defended her photos and the idea, as did pageant owner Donald Trump. Anything for ratings in an age when you could argue these pageants are of less and less importance, and actresses and models are often seen in lingerie or less in more than a few magazines?
^Miss Connecticut, Ashley Bickford
Miss Colorado, Jessica Hartman v
^ Miss Maryland, Simone Feldman
Miss Michigan, Rima Fakih v
I'll leave that up to you in the Comments section. Obviously, I'm going to be biased in favor of more lingerie photos in the world, and looking over the the gallery of all the contestants as photographed beautifully by Fadil Berisha, my only question was: do I use all 51 photos in this post or not?
^ Miss Oregon, Kate Paul
Miss Kansas, Bethany Gerber v
^ Miss Virginia, Samantha Casey
Miss Tennessee, Tucker Perry v
^ Miss Delaware, Julie Citro
Miss Oklahoma, Moran Elizabeth Woolard v
^ Miss Wisconsin, Courtney Lopez
^ Miss Mississippi, Breanne Ponder
Miss New Hampshire, Nicole Houde v
^ Miss Nebraska, Belinda Wright
Miss Ohio, Amanda Tempel is my girlfriend's pick for the winner v
^ Miss New Jersey, Chenoa Greene (I know nothing of the contestants, but there's something about Ms. Greene I like. And, if she doesn't win? Well, the odds were already 50-to-1 against me guessing right who might win, and her odds are 50-1 anyway..)
My girlfriend's take on all this: If you're going to say this is a scholarship program, you're still living in the 1940's or earlier. If you're going to say it's a modern-day top model search, bring on the lingerie. I'll go along with that.
Behind the scenes of Fadil Berisha's "Waking Up In Vegas' photo shoot:
Speaking of Vegas, what do you want to wager all the attention this is getting helps the ratings for this year's broadcast, tomorrow night(Sunday)on NBC?
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.

Happy Halloween From.. Your Insurance Agent?
In the past, we've documented the most popular Halloween costumes in our happy little college community, and the perennial favorite for women (and, unfortunately, many men) has been some lingerie-infused version of a nurse. Not this year. I keep hearing plans, and in some cases what can be taken as threats, mainly by girls, to go as an agent. No, not this agent, which would make some sense:
An Insurance Agent of sorts. No, not Erin Esurance,
though we've seen a few of her wandering around in past years..
This Insurance Agent:
That's correct, Flo, from the Progressive ads. One or two girls (or guys) telling people they're planning to go with the Flo isn't a trend. Ten or fifteen people independently mentioning it in passing to either myself, my girlfriend or another friend is a borderline trend, just disturbing, or both. Not that Flo isn't, in essence, a costume. Stephanie Courtney, the actress/comedian who plays her goes through a two hour make-up job for the commercials.
If the local interpretation of a nurse is any indication, I'm guessing the Flo costumes will keep the wig, makeup, apron and a big, tricked-out name tag, but not a hell of a lot else from the real Flo's attire; most probably replaced by white bras, hot pants or boy shorts and stockings.
You may (or may not -Rule 34) be surprised to learn, much as has happened with Erin, there's now a growing amount of non-G-rated imagery devoted to Flo floating around the net. Some, having them co-starring. To be clear: to each their own, but it's times like this I don't feel like being a 25-year old straight male is too old to be writing a lingerie blog.
Speaking of which: if you really want to see a costume suggestion of an Agent for Halloween, if it's going to involve lingerie, why not go to a master, and pick one from Agent Provocateur?
Please note; I'm not going to be held responsible for any local laws you may be breaking.. May you get enough candy to rot your teeth, but remember to brush!

Samanda: Now You Really Can Undress Them Everywhere
What is it about the contestants on the U.K. version of Big Brother? Unlike it's U.S. counterpart, it seems like the British contestants, if not already famous, can turn their 15 minutes into more than just recycling themselves through other reality shows. Such would be the case of twin sisters Sam and Amanda Marchant, AKA Samanda. First, they tried a singing career, including covering the Aqua dance song "Barbie Girl":
Now, The Daily Mail reports the Sisters Marchant are undressing everywhere for Knickerbox and Ann Summers Lingerie.
I'll leave you to make up your own mind, but my take? As singers, they're great lingerie models..
