Even if we're keeping warm with sweater or two, why not some Spring color as well?

Irina Shayk - Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Cover Girl 2011

Talk about your Top Ten. Last night on The Late Show with David Letterman, ten of the lovely ladies in this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition took part in Dave's Top Ten List. Hilarious? Um, not so much, but that's not always the point. I think it's just kind of cool to see these models in a different light (my girlfriend adds, 'and dressed'). I'll settle for 'on network TV with a speaking part, no matter how silly'.



The above is an abridged version; to see all ten ladies and Irina Shayk's reaction when she found out she was on this year's cover, check The Late Show website. She'll also be a guest on tonight's Late Show. My reaction? I'm genuinely happy for her and all of the models for the .. exposure, if you will, but call me when SI decides to do a Lingerie Edition. I haven't yet seen the Swimsuit issue, but I doubt many of the I'm sure great photos will match the simple beauty of Ms. Shayk displaying the above bra and panties from Intimissimi Though, if it got her and the other models a great beach vacation? Gravy for them.



Consider this post an fufL Extra; Valentines Week continues tomorrow..

Edit: Ms. Shayk's appearance - me thinks she's having some fun..

Caution, Too Much Color May Cause Dress To Drop

You may or may not have heard of the song Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off; Just a note of warning, in case it's your habit to get ready for the day early in the dark. While too much color may not cause blindness or your clothing to burst into flames, whatever you're wearing may decide to revolt. In that event, think of it as a great way to make new friends.

Say Yellow To Araceli Gonzales

Ms. Gonzales is an Argentinian model, actress and TV presenter. She also brightens a weekend with yellow lace lingerie.

Alessandra Ambrosio Helps Us Celebrate 600

I'd like to say Ale called to wish frankufotos Lingerie a Happy 600th post (as of Monday's for Memorial Day), but I'm pretty sure Ms. Ambrosio has other things on her mind. Such as, raising a daughter less than a year old while still looking better than 99% of us ever will.



I couldn't decide which of the two photos to use, so, thanks to indecision, you get both. The color photo is for Victoria's Secret's new stretch lace panty. Did we mention Ms. Ambrosio's been a Mom for less than a year? Actually, yes, we did. One more thing to mention; aside from hitting 601 posts as of today's, we've now passed 506,000 hits, and well over one million page views. Thanks so much to all who've read fufL over the past almost-three years, to all who've commented, to the lovely models whose photos fill our pages, and especially to the many (often un-named, but certainly not untalented) photographers who've made the images possible.

Now, if I can just convince my girlfriend/fellow lingerie enthusiast to guest-write a post before we get to one million hits.. (oh, I'll be in trouble for mentioning this, but it will lead to some fun making it up to her..)

Zoe Duchesne: Still Time For Summer Lingerie

Canada's Zoe Duchesne in lingerie and in the great outdoors shows some of us in the Northern Hemisphere have a few Summer days left for now..



As it gets warmer, she may care to wear even less lingerie..



Or, even less.. or less than that..



Though I doubt Ms. Duchesne would be blushing even after removing her bra, we'll leave things here with a reminder the lingerie she's soon not-to-be-wearing is by Blush.

September 2008 GQ UK: Backstage At The 2007 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show - Part 1

Proving that sometimes, the words Collector's Edition may actually mean something. The September 2008 issue of the U.K. edition of GQ Magazine has a story with about as full an access you'll get to the backstage goings-on at last year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.



And that's just the teaser page to get you to turn to the article.. and, we repeat what we've said in a post last month: Marisa Miller needs to do more lingerie shoots. And, more of Ale' is always welcome.



Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, then of Vicky's Pink, now of Burberry's, soon of Dolce & Gabbana lingerie.



How long would you wait if Ms. Lima were holding that finger up to you? Part 2 of this post comes soon.

Happy Summer 2008 (North America)

The North American hemisphere's Summer begins today at 7:59pm ET. Peruvian model Anahi Gonzales seems to have found perfect Summer lingerie for the occasion.

fufL May Flowers Lingerie Week / Wednesday: Adriana Lima

View the week as half way through, or half still to go; it's still good to see Ms. Lima in her pretty petaled bra and panties.

Alessandra Ambrosio: Happy Belated Birthday

Ms. Ambrosio celebrated last week in Miami, in an event woefully lacking in coverage in the popular press. Tons of he said/she said about the U.S. election, but not much important. No excuse for fufL to miss it, so hopefully the above photo in some small way makes up for it. And, really, I know she's eating for two these days, but a life-sized cake in the shape of a piano? Either that, or they just frosted the strings and keys.



Happy Birthday, Ale!

Mel B. For Ultimo: Far More Sexy Than Scary

Ultimo, the U.K. lingerie brand who've given us many wonderful views of Gemma Atkinson and Sarah Harding in their undies have a new line that they describe as

'the Ultimo SS08 collection which has been inspired by the glamour and vintage Art Deco charm of Miami Beach. Luxurious satin in mouth watering, juicy colours is paired with sleek leopard print embroidery along-side graphic embroidered collections delicately stitched in summer brights.'

London's Daily Star
quotes Ms. Brown as saying

'After taking part in Dancing With The Stars in the US and the Spice Girls World Tour I have never been in better shape, so I jumped at the chance.'

We'll thank Mel B. and Ultimo of course, but this just adds to the list of reasons we really have to drop a note thanks to the Dancing With The Stars producers..
