Paulina Porizkova is pretty awesome. But, would you expect anyone who married Rick Ocasek
Paulina Porizkova is pretty awesome. But, would you expect anyone who married Rick Ocasek from The Cars to be otherwise?
I was shocked when she went on America’s Next Top Model because I don’t see how anyone can get that close to Tyra Banks without going into a perpetual gagging fit, but she doesn’t seem to be holding back and tells it how it is.
Paulina recently told TV Guide this about ANTM: �Models are not superstars anymore. With cheap computer retouching, anybody can be a cover girl. You can be 50 and have acne, but look gorgeous by the time they�re done with you. Models are back to what they were in the �70s: clothes hangers
According to the Hollywood gossip rags, one of the contestants on the new season of America's Next Top Model is a transgender
According to the Hollywood gossip rags, one of the contestants on the new season of America's Next Top Model is a transgender. That is she was formally a he. Or in her own words "a woman born physically male". Here at FoxInsider we cast no judgement on such things, largely because we don't care and they are not funny. However, here are a couple of things to consider. First off, given the outrage and vitriol from Middle England when Sky One showed There is something about Miriam, it will be intriguing to see how Middle America deal with this. Second, do you think that it is possible that this information has been leaked now so as to avoid several odd million law suits cropping up when young teen males realise they have been entertaining themselves to something that is not quite what they thought? Makes you think. Well not that much.

Perky, Seamfree (large) Breasts
The last client I fit in a bra (she was really a friend as I'm moving out of bra fitting and into designing more apparel) was a single, thirty year old nurse. I don't know why I feel the need to give you that background. We fit her in a G/GG/H cup, depending on the brand, with a size 32 back band.
We found a beautiful, but expensive, three part seamed cup bra. But being on a limited budget and given her lifestyle and wardrobe needs we opted for the less expensive t-shirt bra. Now, as you hopefully know, a seamed bra helps reduce nipple show-through by placing the nipple directly behind the seam. The pressure of the seam facilitates keeping the nipple "under wraps".
However, without seams women are nervouse of nipples expressing themselves at inopportune times. Thus the client purchased a pair of nipple concealers.
Which just seems like a bunch of work to me. Is Pamela Anderson what we wish to attain? Big, round, perky, smooth and nipplefree boobs? Definitely women think this strategy - seamfree bra coupled with nipple concealers (it cost us about $115 to get out the door that day) is necessary when wearing tight knit tops.
What about you? Are nipple concealers required to feel confident? For what its worth, I wore a similar thing when nursing my third child, which is probably why I'm not interested in wearing them now. But, then again, I don't even have a seamfree bra. I don't look nor feel good in tight knit tops.

Why the neckline is so important
All day yesterday I wore this sweater (over the Carissa Rose Farrah Shell in persian red) I received for Christmas. After wearing it twice the tie broke so I had to wear it completely buttoned up with the cowl neck, as opposed to just buttoning one button and cinching the waist with the tie.
As I walked the cowl neck had a life of its own. The thing bounced each time I took a step. I guess resting on a FF bust was just too much of a spring board for it.
Which segues us into the neckline discussion. The neckline is important (in addition to no cowl necks allowed) because if its too low, "you look like a sl*t"! At least that's how one client put it. She followed her comment with, "if I get something that fits the neckline and bust, then I just look chubby because its big in the waist". And she is a curvy Italian, size 4 SW (small well-endowed) in our line.
Even wear to work pieces have necklines so low that they require wearing the ubiquitous camisole, which adds extra bulk, which is usually unwanted bulk.
Over to you, what are your neckline pet peeves? Or better yet, what are the necklines you feel good in and enjoy wearing?

Sexy Lingerie With Appeal Dream
Sexy Lingerie: BustiersOften confused with a corset, a bustier always covers the bust. This is what gives this sexy lingerie its name. Also, both have a different primary purpose. While a corset tries to make the waistline look slimmer, bustiers are designed to enhance the bust. Regardless of the size of your breast, a bustier can make your appearance more alluring than it is.

Pretty Sleepwear for the Full Bust
Just this week a client emailed us looking for a sleep solution.
As you know we are fans of Sleep Top (we have to give a shout out to our neighbor Margeurite McGee Haygood the designer). I have one and it is in my sleep bra rotation. We even had one client purchase their Sleep Top on Amazon.
I am super excited to introduce you to Bijte. Several months ago Diana St. Louis called me and spoke about her new line of indulgent sleepwear for the full bust. Bijte targets the small band-big cup, beginning with C cup. Each style has an inner mesh sling (also known as a cookie) for soft support. 
Ms. St. Louis is sourcing beautiful fabrics, lace and silk, to use in her designs. I vouch for the high quality fabrics as I'm familiar with the fabric houses Bijte uses. In addition, Diana is a pleasure to talk with.
My birthday is this week, Wednesday to be exact, and I'm thinking I should treat myself to one of these pieces. I may be into bras, but my husband always reminds me, "but you don't wear lingerie". This may be my chance.

Denier Mean About Of Understanding Hosiery
Denier is quoted in numeric values which can be between 3 and 100.3 - This is the lowest denier you can buy in tights and pantyhose. These are very thin and you can barely notice them. They are very thin and aren't used that much. Because they are so thin they are very delicate and this means that you need to take even more care over them.
