Loads of it on this vintage satin teddy.

Occupational Hazard

If you can call my blogging an occupation, then one of the hazards of looking at so many female forms is that you start seeing them everywhere -- I thought this was a nude woman at first glance! Well, at least it features nice pears lol (See also: A Vintage Bumper Crop Of Boobies.)

Sketch Scandals of 1947

That's the name of this vintage calendar from Smythe Co. of Milwaukee which features risque lingerie pinups by Earl MacPherson. Yummy!

Powder Puff

Only Faire Frou Frou would realize we girls all need a giant powder puff -- thanks, Faire Frou Frou! (And thanks too to the designer, burlesque girlie Catherine D'Lish!)

It Was A Mod Mod Mod Pucci Lingerie World

Please, be careful mixing and matching the vintage Pucci lingerie -- it gives me a headache just thinking about the mod mistakes you could make!

Vintage Formfit Rogers by Emilio Pucci, also known as EPFR, in a bra, a cami, a panty girdle with garters, and a half slip.






There's also a peignoir babydoll set with matching panties.





But my favorite is this harem pajamas set -- I dream of genies indeed!

Cooing Over Dove Grey Vintage Slip

This vintage grey full slip has dark grey Alencon lace trim -- and the slip still has the original Van Raalte tag pinned to the bodice.

Nothing's As It Seams...

Sexy thigh-high stockings with alternate world views on the back seams:

If you love the keyholes on authentic vintage stockings, why not allow them to play peek-a-boo all the way up (and down) the back of your leg?



Black stockings with pink crossbones and bows, for girls who want to play pirate wench.



If you're into creepy-crawlies, how about spiders crawling up the back side of these stockings with stripes?




If you'd prefer fingertips made their way up the back of your legs, how about these sheer black thigh high stockings that lace-up the back?



Perhaps you'd like faster access to bare legs? Or maybe you just want him to play with your zippers while you play with his... In any case, these black cotton thigh high stockings have tempting zippers!

When Tap-ping Requires Nimble Fingers

Two incredible pairs of vintage tap pants (just look at that lace!) -- which will test his or her finger dexterity with snaps on satin and little buttons on silk.

Everyone Knows It's A Slinky!

The eager arrival of Slinkies, from Made By Niki, has been noted in several places...


I'm all about replacing the Spanx (grr!), but even without that lovely thought, I'm completely smitten with the Control Mini Skirt Girdle in aqua. Heavenly! Sing it with me now, "It's Slinkies, it's Slinkies, for fun it's a wonderful toy!"

To. Die. For.

Why don't they make things as exquisite and elegant as this any more? *soft whine* An art deco period dressing gown of purple velvet and ecru lace -- it just brings me to my knees.



The label on the dressing gown says this beauty was from The Negligee Shop -- what a name! -- Franklin Simon & Co., Fifth Avenue New York.

Running A Little Behind...

The auction for this pretty vintage photo just closed -- but without a bid, so maybe the seller will re-list it... Maybe if you buy more of their risque vintage lingerie photographs, they'll make you a deal?

Faux Diamonds Are This Girl's Best Friends

Maybe only real diamonds sound glamorous to you -- if so, I'll kindly remind you that most of what glimmers & shimmers (jewelry-wise) in film is paste. Or glass. Or, today, with technology, we've got man-made diamonds aka cubic zirconia. But in any case, I've got a confession to make...

I've been happily (this time!) married for the past 7 years and I've never had a wedding ring.

Or even an engagement ring.

It may sound sad, and more than a bit pathetic, but when hubby #2 and I met, we both had been previously married (and divorced, of course) and there wasn't the means to get a diamond. And for the past seven years, between the costs of life, lay-offs, cars that limp & die, and the negligence of the other parents of our children (who neither pay their child support nor provide their court-appointed insurance for their special needs children), we've never even had the money for hubby and I to exchange holiday gifts let alone buy real wedding rings.

So when the lovely Sarah of LuShae Jewelry contacted me and asked if I'd like to receive a free piece of jewelry from her store to review, I knew exactly what I'd get: A wedding ring.

What better test for faux diamonds than to attempt to pass the ring of as "real" out in the real world?

At first I had my eye on the Vintage Promise Ring, but hubby reminded me that the higher mounted stone was more likely to catch on things -- like silky stockings, sheer chiffon, and delicate lace.

And since it is customary for the male to select the ring, I went with his choice, the For Her Promise Ring.

When the ring arrived, I was thrilled! Not only was it even prettier then the picture, it fit perfectly (I used their ring size guide.)

The photos of my ring don't do the ring justice (I am neither a professional photographer of gems, nor a hand model), so here's the official website photo of the ring.



It sparkles like crazy! I mean I've actually had to get used to such brilliance on my moving hand!

But would others scream, "Oh that's fake!" when they saw it?

Nope. Not a one did.

It's possible that all my friends and family are too polite, but honestly, the ring is styled well and in a reasonable scale which makes people believe it is possible a person could afford a real diamond ring like that. It's beautiful and glamorous, but not so ridiculous as to look cheap and fake.

The only problem I have with the ring is that I am quite allergic to nickel (and/or another inexpensive metal that must be in the White Gold Rhodium Bond), so I cannot wear it more than 48 hours without itching. But finally I have something to wear when out & about in public.

(It hasn't quite put an end to being hit on in public -- Heck, I'm a good looking broad! But now I know that the guys hitting on me aren't ignorant to the fact that I'm married and so I can steer myself and my single girlfriends past those bad boys.)


Like the name says, this ring is a promise of a "real ring" one day. When hubby & I visit flea markets, auctions and antique shops, where used jewelry is very inexpensive -- not to mention that older pieces are incredibly beautiful -- we keep our eyes open. But our wallets must remain closed until more practical matters are better situated. Until then, I'm happy wearing my pretty sparking faux diamond ring.

So, if you're one of the many of us who cannot afford real diamonds, give CZ and LuShae a try. You needn't limit yourself to wedding or engagement rings -- or rings of any sort. They have some pretty bling-bling earrings and pendants too.

Sage Advice

Slip of a Girl says, "Get a vintage Van Raalte Satin Suavette Slip -- and have a slippity-do-da day!"

Hey, Little Jack Horner...

How'd you'd like to pull out these plums? (Warning: You might get sticky fingers lol)

Sheer purple vintage babydoll with black lace (and it can be worn off the shoulder too!)



This sheer plum Mayela babydoll has loads of sweet ruffles!

I Thought I'd Seen All The Animal Prints

Warner's Junior Intimates label giraffe print half-slip -- so unusual, it warrants a search for more. (No others now, but who knows when?)

Vintage OMG (Olga, My Gawd!) Panties

Incredible vintage Olga panties with garters -- loads of lace (and so delightfully sheer on the rear!) including lace rosettes at the garters.

Zippity-Do-Da

Your lover might think he or she's got it made with the long front zipper on this vintage all-in-one open-bottom girdle -- but once the zipper's open, they'll still need nimble fingers for all those hooks & eyes *wink*

Gone With The Wind Panties

I think the seller of these panties is wrong about them being burlesque panties; I'm certain they are more of that WWII homefront lingerie. And frankly, my dear, I do give a damn. *wink*

Of Dames, Dollars & Garters

This vintage print block shows a pinup putting money in her garter!
