How would you describe modern shapewear? Uncomfortable? Useful? Here’s my word: bor-ing! There, I said it. I despise modern shapewear. Not the fact that it exists. I do get why many people want to wear it. If it makes your outfit fit better or gives you a boost of confidence, good for you. I’m all…
If you love learning about lingerie, then you need to know about The Underpinnings Museum. It’s an online fashion archive dedicated to, you guessed it, intimate wear. A visit to the site may not be quite so fun as gawking at garments that are right in front of you. But by being online, it offers…

Back in 1998, I was assigned as Mary’s roommate on my son’s middle school band trip. We became friends and chaperone buddies. I knew she was an artist, teacher, and travelled the…
Halloween is my favorite holiday. I love any excuse to indulge in chocolates and candy while playing dress-up. And the best part is dreaming up new Halloween costume ideas. I’m not a fan of store-bought costumes but I’m not a seamstress either. Instead I put a costume together from pieces in my own wardrobe, or find things in thrift stores….
Baci Lingerie was on my list to visit when I attended the recent Las Vegas International Lingerie Fashion Show. I’d been introduced to the brand when I covered a behind-the-scenes corset photo shoot at a mansion in Beverly Hills.
