The Panty Drawer

Kiki de Montparnesse creates designs that they call "French Inspired". What is for certain is that they combine silks and laces to create some of the most stunning designs out there right now. If you're looking to feel sexy and/or kick up the intimacy, you should probably look no further. Below are just some of their latest looks: Merci Mini Slip Lace Inset Mini Slip La Madame Corset Skirt Handcuff Bodysuit All Over Lace Cami

Looking back, the 90s were a crazy time. While the internet was technically a thing, in reality, pre-online life gasping out its last few breaths. In general, convenience meant a whole different thing than anyone would consider it today. Information wasn't constantly at one's fingertips. We needed maps to navigate. We often needed libraries for even the most basic research and information. News was delivered to your house in paper form in the morning or digested from the local TV station either around the dinner table or later that night in the living room. Music came in the forms of CDs (or cassettes). Movies often meant renting a tape to play on a device at home. Perhaps, though, nothing was more different than shopping. In the first half of the decade, we hadn't yet been introduced to a little bookstore called "amazon". We certainly weren't paying for next day delivery of goods or having groceries sent to our house. What is a simple as a couple of thumb tap...

Falke has always been one of my favorite brands of premium European legwear. Their pantyhose and tights are amazing, but they also have a huge line of high quality pantyhose, tights, and leggings. No matter what legwear styles that you're into they have something for you. Below are some of my favorite current styles (all available at my favorite legwear site UK Tights ): Elegant Shine Leggings Day to Night 30 Denier Tights Overknee 25 Denier Tights Feather Herb Tights Zodiac Tights Garden Floral Tights Diamond Net Tights Magic Evening Tights Elevating Tights Moulding Tights   Dot Hold Ups

What if I told you that currently my favorite pair of panties aren't even panties? It would be because they are knickers.  Such is the case though as I can't stop filling my overflowing lingerie drawers with the cute, soft, and oh-so-comfortable briefs from Stripe & Stare . Now, in the US, when you think of "briefs" you might be thinking of the bloomers your granny infamously is alleged to have worn. These things are anything but. They're mid to low rise, lace-trimmed, and come in a seemingly endless variety of colors and patterns. They're super-soft, breathable, and free from VPL.  But that's just the original brief that made Stripe & Stare what seemed like and overnight sensation. There's so much more than that. Suppose high waisted is your thing...they've got you covered (see what I did there?). They also have hipsters and brazilians as well as thongs in a high waisted or low waisted option. And knickers aren't everything. They also ...

Allow me to re-introduce myself.  I was a lingerie/hosiery blogger for several years dating back about 10 years ago. I was(am) also a guy and I was blogging anonymously. I was several years and hundreds of posts strong when I made the difficult decision to delete the entire blog when it became a concern of mine that I might have inadvertently become less-than-anonymous. Truth be told, it had also been a lot of work (with no income) and I was feeling a little burnt out, so I wasn't too broken up about it.  That said, it was a lot of fun. At the time, I was obsessed with Wolford hosiery and, in particular, the Satin Touch 20 hose. I also talked a ton about new styles from a bunch of different mostly European hosiery brands as well as new styles from up-and-coming lingerie designers from all around the world. I would occasionally rant about the big lingerie behemoth that (at the time) was still a mainstay across every mall in America (more on that in posts to come) and, to be hon...
