I Implore You To Care About The Pyjama Girl
In that charming post from Jaynie about the history of pajamas, was a link to this very serious post by Alessia: My Pajamas Made Him Kill Me (Or, In Which I Review A Film I Haven’t Seen).
Now I know this blog (and the blogger!) are normally a cute & sexy happy place, seasoned with a few "ranties," and that you might want to take a pass on this post about woman murdered & found in her pajamas in 1934 -- but don't. The Pygama Girl, Linda Agostini, and countless others like her matter. I narrowly escaped being one of them myself. So I urge you to read, comment, post, share and care.

The Cat's Pajamas
Ever wonder why it's so hard to find vintage lounging pajamas like the one shown here? Jaynie has the scoop -- and the details on the expression "it's cat's pajamas"! (Fab photos too!)
Stockings, Stockings, Stockings
Via a comment left at Collectors' Quest, I found this postgraduate Social Anthropology student (at the University of Bristol in England) who is currently working on a project regarding stockings and she'd like to hear from you! The project is due in April, so share your thoughts with her at talk_stockings@live.com (and be sure to tell her that Slip of a Girl sent you!)
That student has a stockings blog, Sheer Delight, at which I found this yummy photo.

Open Bottom With Organdie Trim -- And Illusion Lace!
My Dearest David sent me a link to this retro stunner: "Frilly Satin Pinup Spandex 6 Garter Corset Basque." In a 42 XL -- accurately described as "extra large, to delight the more amply proportioned girl in an elegant manner." Along with the scrumptious (nearly edible!) details you can see, please note that the cups are not sheer lace, but illusion lace cups!

Why Women Like Massages (And Other Vintage Girlie Goodness)
Silent Porn Star discovered Cherryland Postcards -- where I promptly dug around for more. Look at all the vintage postcards, photos and arcade cards with lovely lingerie! (There's much more at Cherryland too!)
Sweet Nothings, Big Nightmare
The Moschino Nylon Tulle Underwire Bra is adorable with its ribbons and heart-shaped button accents -- but I can only find a B-Cup listed at Zappos...
The Zappos sites (old and new) are rather clunky. (In fact, the new site doesn't even show you the sizing chart -- very needed when you order a bra, listed by cup size, by size 2, 3, 4 for the band size. Here's the size chart from the 'old' or 'classic' site.) Plus the search function doesn't return results very well. (For example, a search for Moschino Underwire didn't even return this bra.)
The matching panty is sweet too. But all of this just makes you want to buy the set direct at the Moschino Boutique -- but they don't even show a lingerie section. *sigh*
So I guess, after extensive searching, it's back to Zappos if you simply must have it. (I'd like to; but I'm no B cup.)
In any case, should shopping for such sweet nothings be such a hassle?

Gonna Rouge Your Knees & Roll Your Stockings Down?
Then you should know why! *wink* Here's an awesome article by Jaynie on why rolled stockings are the bee's knees! (Image via eBay.)
1960's Matching Slip & Panty Set
Vintage nylon lingerie set with cheery floral detailing -- and look at that half-slip's hem! I think those large yellow flowers are embroidered, but as the set is listed as "coming soon" the details aren't listed.
The reason Posh Girl Vintage lists "coming soon" items is because their items sell so fast that they want to give folks a chance to preview as quickly as possible. If you are interested in this lingerie set or any item on the site, feel free to contact them.

How To Set Dainty Dishes Before Your King
I've shown you dressing gowns which imbue you with the dramatic power of a queen, but sometimes a lady prefers to exercise her authority with more of the velvet hand approach... Where the velvet hand leads to the velvet tunnel, so to speak. You can call it manipulation, if you'd like; but when you're goal is to have him manipulate parts of your right back, well, I think this is a fine example of "alls fair in love and war." Neither side is really complaining. *wink* (As long as you use your powers for good, not evil, that is.)
One of the easiest ways to reign supreme is to let him believe he is King.
Saturate his senses -- until he loses them & becomes lost in your seductive powers. While this could certainly said about nearly any piece of fine lingerie, I prefer to first apply a heavy dose of lady-like lingerie. Some soft & silky barrier which hints at the mysteries within... Preferably of satin, silk or heavy nylon -- nothing too sheer. So begin with a stunning peignoir, wrap or dressing gown. Naturally, I tend towards the antique and vintage varieties, where elegance and sensuality set the vibe.
Examples: a Flapper nightgown set in pink with ecru lace, a vintage peach silk satin dressing gown with a ruched bodice, a vintage two-toned rayon satin dressing gown, or an Edwardian French lace silk satin robe.
Beneath the exquisite exterior, wear a slinky nightgown. (Don't worry about whether or not the nightie is of the same time period as the dressing gown; should you have the rare gent that would notice such a thing, he'll be too preoccupied with you to judge you anything other than splendid.) I prefer a shorter gown or slip so that he can catch a glimpse of bare or stocking covered leg when the dressing gown (slyly) parts now and then... But a long slinky gown is also thrilling, for when he pats your thigh you'll both enjoy the slip and slide play between the two fabrics.
Suggestions: a 1930s peach silk Crepe de Chine lace sheer gown, a pink rayon bias cut vintage nightgown, a vintage champagne bias silk & lace wedding nightgown, a a vintage silk satin and lace handmade slip by Yolande, a vintage pink slip with embroidery & lace.
Beneath the gown, a pair of scrumptious panties (and if you've opted for stockings, a pretty garter belt too). It may shock you here to note that this is one time I can happily recommend a g-string (or even a thong). After all, you've made him wait (and I hope work!) for the reveal, so why not give him the daintiest jeweled setting for your pearl? I don't think there are any finer string settings than the lacy creations of Lola Luna.
Don't worry if your panty doesn't match -- in fact, a shocking contrast is largely what this is all about. The color & style change is sure to let him know the waiting is over & he can dive in, be King of this domain. *wink*
For adventurous folks with big appetites, you can layer your panties too. Put a silky pair -- or more! -- of full cut panties over a pretty g-sting and have him slowly peel away the layers...
Also Lola Luna makes sets of cuffs to match their string panties:
Now isn't this all a dainty dish to set before your King! (And, with any luck, he'll be back for seconds -- maybe even thirds!)
