I can’t tell you how excited I am to bring you this exclusive interview with the reigning queen of pin-up, Bernie Dexter.  I’ve been a fan of Bernie for even longer than I’ve been blogging, so it was an absolute honor to ask her a few questions for The Lingerie Addict.

But before we get started, I just want to say that Bernie Dexter’s famous “nice act” isn’t an act at all.  From the start of our interview to the finish, she was one of the nicest, kindest and most gracious people I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. And when you remember that she’s a celebrity with literally thousands of people demanding her time, her demeanor becomes all the more impressive.

Even though the 12 Days of Knickers are over and I’m about to take a blog vacation (more on that tomorrow!), I can’t let December go by without posting another designer interview…especially since I’ve been a fan of this month’s feature for even longer than I’ve been blogging.

Many of you have probably seen Lucy B lingerie without even knowing it. After all, one of her spokesmodels is Bernie Dexter, the world famous pin-up queen.  I’m a fan of Lucy B not only because I love vintage inspired lingerie but also because of how Michelle Jouvence, the designer behind the brand, brings back the fun and playfulness that retro lingerie is supposed to have.

You know, I’ve never thought it was fair that the only lingerie designers most of us hear about are the ones with the big PR campaigns and massive marketing budgets.  There is so much amazing stuff happening in lingerie right now, and I think it’s super-important that we’re exposed to as much as of it as possible.

That’s why I’m pleased to continue my brand new monthly feature–Designer Interviews.  For this month, I’m talking with Laurie Shapiro, the lingerie maven behind Toad Lillie.

P.S. Lingerie Addict readers can also save 20% off Toad Lillie with the code ‘lingerieaddict.’ Happy shopping!

It’s the end of September, and that means it’s time for another designer interview!  Designer interviews are my way of highlighting small, independent brands that I believe deserve more buzz.  This month’s feature is of the UK lingerie label, Sugarlesque, created by the very, very talented Ruka Johnson.

Today is the start of a brand new feature here on The Lingerie Addict…Designer Interviews!  As you already know, I am super-passionate about small brand lingerie.  Of course, I love the big guys too, but I genuinely believe niche designers bring something to the market that corporations simply can’t replicate.

I also know that in this cash-strapped economy, small designers are the ones least likely to have the thousands of dollars and dozens of samples necessary to invest in massive PR campaigns. So as a way of “practicing what I preach,” I’d like to use my blog as a space to give these artists more coverage.
