Lots of yummy burlesque goodness to report from last week, my lovelies! Not only did our class get an amazing lecture from burlesque legend, Joan Arline a.k.a. “The Sexquire Girl,” I also attended a stellar burlesque show featuring the incomparable Immodesty Blaize (pictured above). Finally, I learned how to apply makeup for the stage from Seattle favorite, Ben Delacreme. I have no idea how I’m going to cram all this in one little blog post, but I’ll certainly try!
Today’s “Ask the Addict” featurette comes from Kristine, who’s inquiring about a waist cincher with garters that actually cinches, and mastectomy bras for a curvy friend. Thanks for your questions, Kristine! If any of you have a lingerie-related question, send it to the.lingerie.addict@gmail.com. I love getting messages from readers, and I try to respond to every one!
I can’t be the only person who fell in love at first sight with the lace and satin vintage-inspired bodysuits featured on the Dolce & Gabbana’s runway for the S/S 2010 show.
For a little while, I entertained the thought of buying one of my very own…but then I did a bit research and realized they cost a jaw-dropping (and utterly unaffordable) $1,195 each. So much for that fantasy, right?
Since then, I’ve been on the look-out for a knock-off version. A teddie that has the best elements of Dolce & Gabbana’s bodysuit–such as the bra-top, the wide waistband, the low-leg cut–but at a more realistic price.
Good morning, everyone! I know Mondays can be kind of tough (especially now that it’s Spring…yay!), so I hope this news brightens your day.
In roughly a week, it’ll be my 2-year blogging anniversary. To celebrate, I’m gathering some great exclusives for you all (think lingerie giveaways and lingerie guides), but in the midst of my planning, I started thinking…
One of the reasons I started this blog was to write lingerie reviews. I know how hard it can be to try and figure out what works for you based on a picture in your computer screen. However, it’s been over a month since I wrote my last honest-to-goodness review (of the Cette Spirano tights from Brabarella), and that simply won’t do.
It used to be that women were expected to cover their “baby bumps” with muumuu-style dresses right up until the due date. Nowadays, though, expectant mothers desire (and deserve!) to look and feel good throughout their pregnancy.
Today, I’m featuring 10 different lingerie sets from 5 amazing brands: Agent Provocateur, Belabumbum, Cake Lingerie, Figleaves
, and HotMilk. In fact, this lingerie is so fantabulous, I found myself wishing some of these designers would start non-maternity lines for childfree women like me!

Today’s Photo Friday comes courtesy of the excellent fetish blog Nylon Dreams (NSFW). The author, MT, really knows his stuff when it comes to sexy lingerie photography; I’ve “stolen” several pictorials from his blog in the past few months.
If you dig the photos and think they’re worth sharing, please stumble this article!
Back in January, I signed up for a Burlesque 101 class at Indigo Blue’s Academy of Burlesque. Unfortunately, I caught mono about halfway through and had to drop out. Thank goodness Indigo Blue was kind enough to let me re-enroll in the next course, which began this month. I just finished my second class, and I’m more excited than ever about creating my character, developing my routine, and performing the final act in front of real, live audience sometime in April.

About a month ago, I started a FormSpring account and so far, I’ve answered 58 amazing questions. I’m taking my FormSpring down in the next day or two, but first I wanted to give my wonderful readers a chance to ask a few questions of their own. So if you’ve got any knicker conundrums or just want to know more about the lady behind the lingerie…ask away! For now, I’ve posted a few of my favorite questions below.
