The Economy


Ciao Readers! Guess what? My recording of the Victoria's Secret show worked this year, YAY! OK, so you say you're bummed out because the economy is in such poor shape. You think the dark clouds are hanging over us and there's no bright spot in sight? Wrong, the Badside is here with some good news for ya. Yes, even though the economy is in a slump there's no reason to fret because lingerie sales are up, up, up. It seems our friends over in the UK can't get enough knickers and bras to satisfy themselves as the panty provider BeCheeky.com is claiming a 100 percent rise in sales year over year from 2007 to 2008 (you can read all about it here). So if you want a sound investment it seems you should go open that lingerie drawer and have a look. I'm sure with all that new lingerie floating around, sales weren't the only thing on the rise! ;^)

In other naughty business news, it seems a certain soft drink maker is looking to put some more fizz in their soda sales by hiring Jill Beraud, former Chief Marketing Officer at Victoria's Secret. Yes, Jill spent 13 years at the silky intimates maker under the same role (article here). Here's wishing good luck to her at her new job.

Lastly, our good friends over at Frederick's of Hollywood are trying to help out the cash strapped citizens of our country by offering a list of twelve sexy items available for under $50. Yes, as in years past, I am again suggesting lingerie as the perfect gift for that special someone (or yourself, whether you've been naughty or nice). In case you were wondering, the panties pictured above are Frederick's own Jungle Bells crotchless, $16.

So in conclusion, the economy might still look bad, but you or your honey will be looking good in that new lingerie this holiday season! Have a great weekend everyone!
