The Lingerie Addict is a lingerie blog with expert advice for the everyday woman. Visit for bra, stockings, corset, and plus size lingerie advice.
There are some lingerie designers who just make me swoon. Atsuko Kudo, the lady behind Lady Gaga’s latex is one. Bordelle, the lingerie prodigies bringing an S&M aesthetic to the masses, is another. Electra Designs, designer of some of the most gorgeous and technically masterful corsets in the world, is a third. Don’t believe me? Just take a look at her most recent creations below. The woman is an absolute artist.
Today’s the start of a new Lingerie Addict tradition, one that I hope will become as consistent and enriching as my first tradition, Photo Friday. One of my goals when I first started writing this blog was to have a place people could find honest, unbiased reviews before purchasing lingerie. That goal is still very important to me, and to make sure it happens more frequently, this week marks the beginning of Review Wednesday.
I’m not sure if I’ve “outed” myself on the blog yet, but I am a massive geek. The kind who not only reads comic books and attends comic-cons but also dresses up like comic book characters.
I’m so geeky that I started planning my costumes for this year’s Dragon*Con six months in advance (hint: there will be at least one white wig involved).
But now I want to add a new costume to my arsenal. As problematic a character as Red Sonja is, I’ve always loved her and that little chainmail bikini. I know it’s utterly impractical battle attire, but that’s not the point.
Good morning, everyone! I know that Monday’s are the hardest day of the week, so hopefully this post will make your day just a little sexier. Today’s question comes from longtime reader Krystal, who asks the following:
“My name is Krystal. I love you blog, I check it every day. Well I have come across quite a few bras that have caught my eye lately, but they all seem to be out of my price range right now. I just can’t reasonably purchase a bra with a price tag of $130 or more right now.
In a tasty morsel of lingerie-related news that’s sweeping the blogosphere, Lane Bryant alleges that ABC network rejected their brand new Cacique lingerie ad for being “too sexy.” Yes, the very same ABC that broadcasts the Victoria’s Secret fashion show every year.
According to Lane Bryant, ABC demanded excessive editing and recuts because the model’s cleavage was, well, too cleavagey. ABC vigorously denies the claims and is all but calling Lane Bryant a bunch of liars.
Even though there’s one more Friday in April, this week marks the fourth and final edition of my long overdue tribute to the grand dame of pin-up, Ms. Bettie Page. Her 87th birthday was yesterday, April 22nd, so it seems fitting to end things here. I hope you’ve enjoyed this small sampling of Betty’s work over the past few weeks. More than anything, I’m reminded of how there will never be another woman like her.
Today is Earth Day and environmentally conscious citizens everywhere are encouraging people to “reduce, reuse, recycle.” Never let it be said that The Lingerie Addict doesn’t care about the environment; below are some of my favorite organic, sustainable, and otherwise earth aware faves.
My more crafty readers may want to check out this DIY article on making underwear from old t-shirts…a great second purpose for that soft, broken-in shirt you just can’t get rid of.
P.S. Have you signed up for my newsletter yet? I just sent out an exclusive discount code to FigleavesUK. Don’t miss out…sign up now!
The glow from last weekend’s burlesque show is just starting to fade, but before I put away my afro wig and hang up my booty shorts, I want to review my choice of nipple covers for that evening…Nippies by Bristol6.
Many people have worn nipple covers, and almost everyone has heard of pasties, but Nippies is the best of both of those worlds. It combines the adhesive properties of a regular nipple concealer with the sparkly, jewel-like qualities of a pastie.
Unfortunately, most leopard print lingerie falls into that second category rather than the first one. Need proof? Just take a look at this popular lingerie retailer, who was first in Google search when I typed “leopard print lingerie.”
If you’d like to dabble in leopard print, but aren’t sure where to start, take a look at these selections, hand-picked by your friendly, neighborhood Lingerie Addict!
I know that’s a lot of exclamation points in the title, but I positively cannot contain my excitement. The past 24 hours have left me utterly exhausted, but I had to update everyone before I went to bed. Last night was AMAZING. I’m struggling to come up with words to describe the tangle of thoughts and feelings and emotions I’m experiencing right now.
There was the fear of performing, and then the rush of the actual performance, and then the realization that not only did people really dig my act, they actually thought I was a sexy bombshell to boot. I’m torn between the high of “Oh my gosh…I can’t believe I really did it,” and the low of “Oh no…I can’t believe it’s over.”
