For this first installment, I’m focusing on inexpensive honeymoon lingerie ideas. Everything I’ve rounded up here today is available for just $60 or less (or the foreign currency equivalent). It…
It’s no surprise that there are plenty of men involved in the intimate apparel business, as they are in all industries. After all, it was a man who came up with the idea for Victoria’s Secret. And he sold his fledgling business to another guy who turned it into the success it is today. One…
You know it’s an official lingerie fashion trend when Victoria’s Secret gets in on the action. They’re making headlines by moving beyond padded cups and offering new bralette styles.

Frenchman Louis Réard named this design after the Bikini Atoll, one of the Pacific Island sites where nuclear tests had been held. He thought this new beach…
An open letter to Victoria’s Secret from a young father went viral this week. He’d heard a rumor (untrue) that the lingerie giant was starting up an underwear line for middle school girls. His concern was how Victoria’s Secret new target market would impact his three year old. Said the Rev. Evan Dolive, “I don’t…
Breasts were, as usual, the focus of attention during 2012. But this year offered up surprising new views on several breast fronts. Some breast stories revealed more than others.
