Grrrlie Link Round-Up

Who says there's a war on women? You can keep up with such things via Deanna's curated collections: Herstory & Feminism.


Deanna's also talking (blogging) about the right to bare breasts and how to learn burlesque moves from Ellion Ness.

Lauren Odes, who was fired from lingerie company Native Intimates for being too busty, is now suing:

"When my supervisors suggested that I tape down my breasts, I asked 'Are you kidding me?'" Odes said. "The supervisor said, 'Just cover up a little more.'"

Similarly, Odes' female supervisor also asked her to wear a bathrobe while fulfilling her duties of data entry.

"She told me to sit at my desk and wear it all day. I felt completely humiliated," Odes said. "She put the bathrobe on me and tied the belt and I returned to my desk wearing it."

...Odes believes her wardrobe was suitable for a lingerie company that sells "thongs with hearts placed in the female genital area and boy shorts for women that say 'hot' in the buttocks area."

The Lace Trimmed Retro Sheer Panty: The Best $16 You'll Spend On Lingerie

Sheer black nylon full-cut panties -- covering you from above the navel and around your complete bum -- how yummy! This sexy panty with lace trim at the leg openings is pure retro styling from Secrets In Lace. And at $15.99, they're a steal! Wear them beneath your garter belts (or over them, if that's how you want to do it). Put them on beneath your corsets for even more anticipation... Slide them on under your slip for real sensual pleasures which avoid pantylines. And don't forget to wear them to bed -- honestly, full-cut or full-coverage panties are so comfortable, you'll wonder why you bother to sleep in any other kind of panties! Plus, these panties make playtime pretty special too. Best bet: Get several pairs so you'll have a pair to wear no matter your needs or moods! (Shown with matching shelf bra.)
