No Granny Panties Here; and One Size does Not Fit all.

 

Attention tomatoes. Sexy lingerie is not just for Victoria Secret models, and desperate or "real" housewives anymore. The biggest sales of lingerie these days are to women over 40, which some are calling the "Cougar Town" effect - a reference to Courtney Cox who apparently parades around a lot in her undies on her perfect body in the TV series with that loathsome title.  And we expect that Lane Bryant will create a big boost in lingerie sales for larger women with their new sexy plus size lingerie commercials too that apparently Fox didn't want to air during Dancing with the Stars. The rumor was Fox thought it was too risqué. Compared to what? Victoria Secret ads and the scantily clad dancers on the show?

 

Sure there are  times when a soft cotton tee shirt and granny cotton undies are a tomato's best friends, but if you're looking for a great pick me up, whether it's just for you, or to spice up your love life, then read on because we've got some great lingerie finds we think you'll love. And we've got  shopping guru Kathy Fahy's suggestions for femmy tops to wear over that sexy lingerie too.  And Mom's, like tomatoes, come in all shapes and sizes too, which is the topic of our radio show this week.  So read on.

 

Not Your Grandma's Underwear
Our relationship to underwear can best be described as complex, having been formed early in life by Mom's warnings about wearing clean underwear just in case you're in an accident, and those days of the week panties that kept you out of sorts when you had to wear Monday on Friday. And in later years, we could so relate to Bridget Jones's red-faced moment of passion when Huge Grant discovers she's wearing granny panties. Okay, so these days we'd rather feel comfortable in our "unmentionables" but does that mean we have to sacrifice looking and feeling sexy too?  Heck no.  When was the last time you were in a lingerie store tomatoes?  And we're not talking Victoria's Secrets or Fredericks of Hollywood, but one of the many delightful boutique lingerie stores around town and online too, like La Petite Coquette and Mary Green. Check out a few of these finds, like the Hanky Panky high waist retro thong above, where one size just about does fit all.  Get more finds and details today at 3T Shopping.
