Bird's Eye View Panties

No, I'm not missing an "of" in the post title -- these retro panties with embroidered birdie say just that, "A Bird's Eye View."

Peignoir With Pom-Pons

This pretty vintage Lucie Ann peignoir not only has pom-pons on the ends of the ties, but it's a floaty dream of chiffon clouds in the back, with some gathers in the front to show off your curves.

Beautiful Blue & Green Floral Open Bottom Girdle

I love the large yet soft floral pattern on this vintage Vanity Fair open bottom girdle. Or course, I readily admit being a sucker for nearly any open-bottom girdle *wink*

Vintage Crystal Pleated Babydoll

Not only does this vintage babydoll nightie feature crystal pleated nylon chiffon, but look at those delicious raspberry details... That's raspberry velveteen piping with those embroidered roses!

Lemon Drops

If all of the raindrops
Were lemondrops and gumdrops,
Oh what a rain it would be!
I'd stand outside
With my mouth opened wide;
Oh what a life I would lead!

(We sung this a bit differently than the official lyrics when we were kids... The last line was singing "uh"s with our tongues out -- which might be a bit gross or pornographic here lol)

Another lovely vintage Intime lingerie set, in lovely lemon. (Looking for more lemon drops?)

A Vintage Peignoir You Can Wear All By Itself

Of course you can wear any peignoir by itself, even the most sheer, for playtime; but if you're looking for a sexy peignoir you can put on to wake the kids, wear lounging with more modesty, etc., how about this stunning vintage illusion lace peignoir by Carol Craig? *swoon*

(Psst, don't forget to check out my other blog, A Tad Too Much Tan For Taupe -- I've been posting lots of goodies there!)

Something To Air Out

It's been over two years since I stopped in to see what Jane Heller's up to... She's still taking lingerie-themed photographs, like these frilly fine art prints.

Lovely Layers Of Vintage Nylon & Lace

I love vintage Intime lingerie -- even the name is fun: "It's here just Intime!" But this vintage peignoir set is exceptionally superb: nylon gown with sheer chiffon overlay and more of that sheer chiffon as a peignoir -- with huge sweeping angel wing sleeves and all with that exquisite five inch wide ecru lace trim!

Have Your Own Royal Princess Wedding With Garters & Bridal Lingerie From Ayten Gasson

The Ayten Gasson bridal collection, Abigail, is here -- including an additional small range of one of handmade garters!

[The Abigail bridal range] has been created using an elegant blue net frill with cream cotton embroidery produced over 20 years ago. The Abigail knicker, garter and matching eyemask, each incorporate something old (lace), something new (silk), something borrowed (shape from previous AG collection) and something blue (net).

As always, Ayten Gasson lingerie is created using vintage and new Nottingham lace and manufacturing in the UK. And the bridal lingerie has Nottingham lace from Roger Watson, the same makers of the lace for Princess Diana's wedding dress -- which you too can have a princess wedding this year! (Or just get a gorgeous garter and role play again and again!)

Pin Stripes & Bows

Very sexy plus size black thigh-high stockings.

This One Looks Like My Blog Used To!

Sort of, anyway. Vintage sheer pink tulle gown with black floral lace overlay on the bodice and lace trim along the hem. Ties in the back; Neusteters label.

How Many Black Crinoline Petticoats Does A Girl Need?

Whatever number of black crinolines you think you need, this one will make you need just one more... Blame it on the pink and white trim of this vintage Hoops! My Dear petticoat. (Or the "Hoops! My Dear" alone -- too cute, right?)

I Bet Her Name is June

Because she's busting out all over in this vintage button-front nightie by Munsingwear. *wink* I know it looks like one of those sweet embroidered cotton nighties -- but this one's a sweet embroidered nylon nightie.

Pert & Pretty In Vintage Striped Pajamas

This is a brilliant piece of marketing by Miss Katenes Vintage Emporium -- juxtaposing the vintage illustration of a woman in striped pink pjs and black heels with the folded garment and the model. It's like you see exactly how she feels wearing the authentic vintage pink cotton pajamas with white pin stripes -- and black pumps! (And, ladies, the vintage pjs are plus sized!)

Sexy Sara Ramirez

I no longer watch Grey's Anatomy, but I am still a fan of Sara Ramirez -- once you spy a girl dancing in her panties, you remain a fan, am I right?

Well, here's Sara on the cover and inside pages of this month's Latina magazine.

Will You Go Dotty Over These Changes?

As you can see, I've been busy revamping the site; too bad I didn't look as good as the pinup doing these sorts of repairs and maintenance! *giggle*

I realize some of you dislike change -- and I too loved the look of the old site (and the hard work I put into tweaking and personalizing it), but it was time... Time for a major update because the template I was using was no longer that compatible with the latest Blogger features -- and with more upgrades and features to come, I no longer wanted to risk bigger problems.

Since I was going to have to roll my sleeves up (and my stockings down!) to revamp the site, I decided it was the perfect time to find out if there were other issues I needed to address as well. I mean there's no sense in working so hard on something just to have other problems remain -- or even create new ones. So I went to my blogging and Internet experts, Deanna and Laura of UP to the DL, and paid for a website review.

I sprung for the dual review, because two heads are always better than one (and I figured my own shouldn't count in the first round of analysis lol). The results were fare more in-depth, and, I'll admit, a bit more intimidating than I thought. I mean naturally, we all want to hear there's little if anything to do, right? But I had a number problems that I never would have seen myself (else I would have fixed them, right?)

Now I don't want to give you the impression that the reviews were bullying or that they really were disguised pitches for other services; everything was stuff I could fix myself. If I wanted to, that is. Because as both Laura and Deanna stated, the things they pointed out and suggested were a matter of point of view if not opinion. In fact, there were somethings they even disagreed on themselves.

But it wasn't confusing because each item on the list came with their individual reasoning -- which they say they provide because, "as the webmaster, you know more about your market, visitors and readers than anyone else, so you are the one to best decide if the suggestions are in your site's best interest."

How's that for putting me back in the driver's seat? *wink*

They also noted in the detailed report things that were more a subjective matter of personal taste.

(One of these things was Laura's personal dislike of the pink color; which I found rather amusing since the majority of lingerie bloggers -- including those who have named A Slip Of A Girl as an inspiration for their blog -- all use the same hot pink! At first this seemed like a reason to defend the choice of color. But then I got to thinking that maybe it was time for a change... This blog has not only been pink but primarily so for it's entire life. Maybe it was time to change the color and shake things up a bit? So I did. Opting for a black and white that I hope will let the lingerie photos "pop" a bit more. But of course there's still some girlie pink accents!)

So, you see, while the matter of the shade of pink might have been a matter of personal taste, it still got me thinking... As did the other 20 or so things on the list.

Overall, I ended up thinking about the proposed changes and indeed the very idea of change and whether it's really necessity at all. It was quite a bit of thinking. And then quite a bit of work to implement the changes I thought were best. (Hence my few posts last week.)

However, as I mentioned before, this sort of work leaves me more motivated to blog. And I hope the changes help you, the readers, too.

Now, I sincerely hope you'll be as "dotty" over the new look as I am, but please, if you spot any boo-boos, or if there was some widget or other in the sidebar you wish would return, do let me know! (I did my best to keep the very best stuff, but tried to decrease the time it took for pages to load.)

So take a look around the new and improved vintage lingerie blog -- there are lots of new links to cool sites in the sidebar to find *wink*

As always, I love your comments and feedback!

So enjoy the lacy all-in-ones and the sexy plunge bras.  (I adore that last bra; the one that looks like it has crystal pleating on the cups -- scalloped like shells!)
