Happy Halloween 2010

Look up in the sky-- Er, down in the bed.. uh, on the floor? OK, so who needs a phone booth to change into Superman these days? Which is good, considering much like the scene in the Christopher Reeve version, if you find one, it's likely not to have a booth with it. (Where I live, there's one payphone downtown, which is constantly vandalized).



I've mentioned the amount of lingerie and underwear finding its way into Halloween costumes theses day before, so why not just cut to the chase and combine the two? For the record, my girlfriend wouldn't dare go out like this, but after looking over this post did offer the opinion that I may just find something as superlative under her costume when we get home after the usual Halloween rounds this year. I say super, woman!



So, if you're not already going Gaga (as in Lady) or Flo, as we covered last year, think if it as Underoos for adults.

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Cover Girl Bar Refaeli - Don't Forget She Does Lingerie, Too

True, it's a great honor for a model to be on the cover of The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. 2009's choice is Israeli beauty Bar Refaeli. (Hey, look; she obviously didn't get any tan lines during the shoot..)



While the above cover of Ms. Refaeli barely contained and peeling her bikini bottoms down is more than a little striking, let's recall a basic fact. A swimsuit is meant to be seen in public. Maybe you won't see her or anyone looking close to her at your local pool or beach anytime soon, but it's still, if barely, apparel for public consumption. Lingerie on the other hand, is, despite some relatively recent fashion trends, by nature intimate. Think of it as meant for private consumption, then.
Seeing Ms. Refaeli or anyone else undressed as such is then a more intimate experience. Or, just go with the 'Forbidden Fruit' idea. One of the reasons this is a lingerie blog, and not a 'hot swimsuit' blog. Not that there's anything wrong with that idea; it's just, given the choice, we'll continue to celebrate the fact that Ms. Refaeli and others look fantastic in their underwear and aren't shy about demonstrating that fact.
