With February 14th just around the corner, every lingerie, chocolate, and jewelry store around the country (if not the world) is gearing up for the epic Valentine’s Day rush.  With that in mind, I wanted to change up today’s lingerie and stockings carnival by asking you a little question…

If I gave $1,000 to spend on lingerie, what would you buy?

Need a few ideas to get started?  Why not check out Secrets in Lace, Figleaves, BareNecessities, Cameo Intimates, or Agent Provocateur?  I can’t wait to see your picks, and come back tomorrow for a very special, very romantic giveaway.

Indigo Blue’s Burlesque class: Day 2

After choosing our stage names in the first burlesque class, it was time to decide on other important details…like song, character, and costume.  I knew right away that I wanted my act to involve an afro, an attitude, and something skintight & shiny.

I also determined that I wanted Velvet La Soie (my character) to be a Louisiana native, a tough-yet-classy broad who could kick your ass six ways to Sunday but still clean up nice enough for the fanciest restaurant in town. I’ve always had a special place in heart for the Blaxploitation films of the 1970′s, and so my thoughts immediately drifted to larger-than-life vixens like Cleopatra Jones as inspiration.

Ugh. I’m sick.

For the past month or so, I’ve been feeling really cruddy.  Sore throat, epic fatigue, pounding headaches and the like.  I chalked it up to stress, seasonal affective disorder, or even outright laziness, but after feeling a little too bad for a little too long, I finally buckled down and went to the doctor–where I learned that I have “The Kissing Disease” a.k.a. Mononucleosis.

The good news is that the worst appears to be over.  The bad news is that I probably could have been all better by now had I gotten diagnosed when I first started feeling bad and taken the appropriate steps.

 In the past few weeks, I’ve had several people ask me for tips on how to better organize their lingerie.  Believe me when I say I haven’t got a perfect system yet, so we’ll probably revisit the subject more than once this year.  However, these five steps have definitely helped me get started.  As always, please feel free to comment with tips and tricks of your own.  I definitely want to hear what you have to say.

Lingerie Blog News: Your Opinion Needed!

Hi everyone,

I know two posts in one day is a bit unusual, but I’m really interested in getting your feedback about something.

For the past year or so, I’ve been updating my blog everyday.  I love writing and I love lingerie so I never run out of things to talk about, but I’m not sure if I can keep this pace forever.

Before making any changes though, I want to hear what you think.  Do you need a fresh, daily fix of The Lingerie Addict?  Or would you prefer fewer (albeit more detailed) posts spread out over the week?

Review: Cette Spirano Tights

 Way back in July, I mentioned lusting after these Cette Spirano Panythose available exclusively at Brabarella (I love that name, by the way!).  Well, when it comes to lingerie, I almost always get what I want, and so these tights arrived at my doorstep just last week.

Made in Belgium, the Cette Spiranos are composed of a 93% Nylon, 6% Lycra, 1% Cotton blend and are availble in three sizes–Small, Medium, and Large.  They fit a minimum hip/height measurement of 34″/4’10″ and a maximum hip/height measurement of 44″/5’11″.  These pantyhose also feature that all-important cotton guesset, along with reinforced toes, and flat seams.  Their most amazing feature, however, is the spiral pattern running the entire length of the leg, from waist to toe.

Ask the Addict: Plus-Sized Backseam Stockings?

January 25, 2010 By 21 Comments

This week’s question came via Twitter from stephintoronto:

Q: Sweetie, I need help finding plus-sized backseam stockings for garters.  Any thoughts?  I wear L-XL, but hate a stocking that is too small.  Thanks!

A: Hmmm…I rarely recommend them, but I think Leg Avenue would be your best bet.  They’re the only manufacturer of plus-sized, stretch, backseam stockings I’m able to find.  Hips and Curves has the nude/black version in stock for only $7.95.  Hope this helps, and please let me know how they work out!

Got a question for The Addict?  Ask me here or e-mail me at candykane29@gmail.com. I can’t wait to read (and answer!) your questions.
