Eros

E Ku Ale Readers! I was browsing over at Amazon recently and came across the above pictured book. Of course that cover shot caught my eye and reminded me of many of Panty Maven's posts. The publisher Taschen seems to specialize in erotic literature and photography books. I own some of their other works which are of good quality, although one book did have pages that were stuck together where the ink hadn't fully dried. It doesn't look good when your guests are thumbing through your erotic coffee table book and some of the pages seem to have been stuck together at some point! ;^P Awful isn't it, but the book came in shrink wrap plastic, so I'm quite certain it was new when I received it.

I do find it interesting that they chose an image of panties on a clothes line to capture the essence of a book filled with erotic pictures. That's really saying a lot when you think about it. Panties must have a very powerful meaning to the erotic centers of our brains. Perhaps it's like in real life, when a couple comes together and the panties are like a fine wrapping paper separating a wonderful gift from your eyes and hands. I suppose in that light, panties would make perfect sense as a cover shot for this book.

Rabecca's Secret

Mija Readers! I'm afraid I have a bit of bad news for you today. In the past I have written about Rabecca's Secret and Panty Belles, two sites run by the same couple which featured mainly pictures of the wife, Rabecca. As you can see from the pictures above, she is a stunningly gorgeous blond who modeled various full cut satin and nylon panties.

Rabecca's Secret has been gone for a while, and I had assumed that Panty Belles would continue on in it's place, but sadly it too has disappeared from the web. I'm not sure if they ever signed off or if it just disappeared one day. I hope they're both doing fine and that the lovely Rabecca will continue thrilling us with her pictures in the future.

Monday Panty Review

Buokaye Readers! How was your weekend? Did you get nice and relaxed? I thought a panty review would be a great way to kick off the week!

Featured above is yet another of my newer VS panties. These lovelies come from the Intimissimi line. The material used on these is very nice; smooth and soft with a beautiful shimmer to it. The feeling against the flesh is exquisite. The cut is semi low rise, yet full in back, almost a tap or boy short in style. I've put on a few pounds recently, but they still seem just a tad snug for their size in my opinion.

A seam runs up the center of the back panel, very nice design element which accentuates that area well. Matching colored lace runs from the outer hips down around the leg openings. Where the lace meets the waistband at either side, the two sides join as it follows the edges of the front and back panels forming a little lace flap overlap at either hip and giving them a more sheer and light appearance.

The waistband is gathered and has a nice rippled pattern to it and is pinch sewn at it's base in such a way as it creates a very cute crease and distinct separation between waistband and body sections. Lastly, there is the signature VS bow at the front of the waistband accented nicely with a tiny sparkly crystal making the whole piece so irresistibly feminine and cute. To my eye they have a Victorian or old fashioned look to them that I find pleasing. I apologize for the wrinkliness of the panties in the pics, but I basically just pulled these out of my drawer and took pics of them, no time for ironing.

One last thing to note is that coming from the Intimissimi line of lingerie, they have the long info tags inside which stick out during wear if one is not careful. Most likely they're meant to be trimmed or removed all together, but I like to keep the tags on mine, so it can be a problem when walking about in public. I have a few panties from this line and they all seem to share that trait with each other. Not a big deal, but I thought it worth mentioning. Oh, and also of note, the crystal can occasionally get caught up on the inside of your pants if there is anything there to grab. This happened to me a couple of times when it got entangled with a loose string on the waistband of my cotton pants. Not the panty's fault at all mind you, but again something I thought you might want to know.

All in all, I really love these panties from both design and comfort aspects. As far as I know they should still be in stores near you, although they have been around a little while, so you might want to get down there fast if you want them.

Hey Buddy...The Bird's Up There!

Nangga Readers! As some of you already know, I like erotica both new and old. I have a few old magazines that date back as far as the 70's. Some even have black and white pictures in them, something I doubt you'd see nowdays. Anyway, it's really interesting to look at those old magazines and see what the norm was back in those days. They're kind of a documentation of the sexuality of their time period. You see women (and men) with full on pubic hair, that's one of the main things that's changed a lot. The pics are more explicit now I think, although I wouldn't say that much more so that it's shocking in any way. Also, the hair styles and clothes are something that stand out as well, then again, lots of that is coming back too. If there are any panties, it's never a thong, mostly you see nylon grannies or bikini style. I just love the way they look, hugging and framing those feminine curves so beautifully.

I was cruising the web the other day and came across the above pictured magazine for sale. I think the ad said it dates from the late 50's. I can't help but wonder what the pics are like inside. That cover is hilarious to me. Wouldn't you just love to have this for your coffee table or to frame for the guest bathroom or something? What really kind of shocked me was the fact that Swank magazine had been around so long.

Funny Undies

Demat Readers! How are you all doing? I've been a fan of Fox's animated shows for some time now, probably because they seem to hold no person or thing sacred. Family Guy is especially devious and twisted. Yes, they do push the envelope on decency and good taste, but being a deviant person myself, I just love it.

Another favorite of mine is American Dad, which follows an uptight suburban character and his family through various comical adventures. Hmm, could I have made it sound less funny! LOL! Anyway, if you've never seen it I encourage you to tune in and watch, very funny stuff. The wife of the main character (Stan Smith) is named Francine; that's her pictured above. I'll admit to having a little cartoon crush on her, she's such a cutie! ;^)

As I've stated in the past, I think someone over at Fox has a thing for panties because this past weekend's episode featured a little Francine panty flash. It happened so quickly that I barely caught it, but luckily I did, as I was able to go back with the slo mo and verify what I'd thought I'd seen. They even included a little camel toe! How can you not like that! Anyway, if on the off chance that one of my readers is the guy who orchestrated that or had any hand in it, I congratulate you on a job well done, keep up the good work!

PS: Sorry for the crummy pic.

Album Art

Leh Readers! Did you get your taxes done yet? Still got one more day. Maybe you need some music to listen to while crunching those numbers. I was browsing some music online recently when the cover art that you see above caught my eye for obvious reasons. That's classic rock band Roxy Music's "Country Life" album if you didn't already know. I listened to the samples, but it wasn't really for me, although I'd dang near buy it just for that cover! Somehow I doubt today's artists are daring enough to feature such a bold cover, too controversial. Let that thought soak in. Props to the band for selecting such an image to represent their work. The bra and panties are exquisite, so sheer and lacy you can clearly see what's underneath, love it!

Me-ow....purr...purr!

Aupa Readers! How are you this fine Friday? Ready for some weekend fun? I know I am, but let's see if the weather will agree. I finally got around to resnapping some of those panty pics I mentioned previously. Pictured today is the first fruits of that labor.

What you are seeing is a garter panty from VS. I absolutely love the way these look, but the material is slightly hard or stiff and not quite as smooth as I'd expected. It's not coarse in any way, just not as satiny and smooth as I thought it would be. Also, the animal print is very cute but is of a lower quality than I've become accustomed to from VS. It's hard to describe, but I think when you find a really good print, it's often hard to distinguish that the pattern is a print at all when viewed up close. With this it seems kind of obvious, although this may have been intentional, I don't know. It's not bad at all, just not what I was expecting given some of the other animal print things I own from VS. Come to think of it, it may actually be the pattern itself that causes this effect, I don't know, it's still cute, just could have been executed slightly better.

On to build quality next, which to my eye and hand seems very good. The panties are cut very low on the waist, can you say LOW rider? Depending on your backside this may give a spectacular view to your audience. The garter straps are well constructed having nice metal clips and are removable, a feature I like when executed correctly as they are here. Sometimes removable garter straps have loops that are too loose and the straps can come off unintentionally, but in this case they hang on nice and tight.

Lastly, let's focus on some of those lovely details I've come to look forward to from VS. I like the lacy sections which are very soft, the floral edging around the waist and leg opening and the ruched back panel. Next, we have the cute little bejeweled waistband bow. I really like that as it just makes the whole thing pop, it's just an extra little something that makes these even cuter. And on top of that they even put a cluster of stick on amber colored rhinestones spelling out VS on the front left lower hip area, SO cute.

I bought these babies on sale so there's a good chance you won't find them if you go looking, sorry. The panties themselves seem to run a bit small in sizing, so keep that in mind if and when you buy yours. I do recommend them if you happen to find them, I doubt you'll be disappointed!

2 Year Party!

Shani Readers! Got big weekend plans? I'll be hanging out with family friends for Easter. Before you start dying those eggs, why not enter Treacle's big 2nd Year Anniversary celebratory lingerie giveaway?! Yes, lovely Treacle is going to be giving away $300 in lingerie, courtesy of Kiss Me Deadly Lingerie, so don't miss out. Have a look and be sure to enter!

The End

Adios Readers! Yes, the time has come to shut down this little blog. I think I've said all there is to say about panties and lingerie over the course of the last few years and I doubt you want to hear more. So I bid you all farewell. Not. April Fool! LOL, Did I getcha?! Actually, I'll be torturing you all for a long time to come or for as long as my brain can think up things to write about. Pictured today is a pic I pilfered from Pandora's Choice (found through Treacle's link of course). They are lovely ruffled panties available there along with many other sexy delights. Have a peek.

The Stepfather

Kamusta Readers! Hey look who got in another post...just for you! ;^) Actually, I wanted to tell you all about a movie I watched recently, "The Stepfather". It's a thriller in the "Disturbia" vein of films, slightly juvenile, yet entertaining none the less (if not overly so). So why am I mentioning it here? Well silly, because there were a couple of scenes featuring the very lovely Amber Heard (pictured for your viewing pleasure above), in her tiny little nickers or bikinis. Oh how I love a well filmed panty, lingerie or swimsuit scene! Anyway, didn't love or hate the movie, your results may vary, but if you just happen to be bored one eve and need a movie to watch, have a look at this one.

Ruffled Panty Review

Yoga Noi Readers! How are you all? I finally got around to getting the pics ready for the review of those panties I posted a while back. You remember them, the chiffon ruffled ones? In case it's still not ringing a bell, they're a lavender purple pink color, made by VS.

Let's start with the chiffon material, which is a little stiff, but in a good way that makes them feel as though the fabric is strong and well made. The see through factor is just enough to reveal a glimpse of what's underneath, but without giving away too much. The cut is very cute and low rise on the hips. The detailing is wonderful, with the cute little ruffles on the back side, a pretty bow on the front hip area and a tiny and very cute mini bow at the back waistband on the inside, a nice extra touch that no one would ever see while it's being worn. Apologies on the color in the pics, but the lighting wasn't right when I took these (part of the reason for the long delay in this post). In reality the panties are much closer in color to the VS stock photo.

Unfortunately, they are no longer available, but perhaps you may be able to find a pair in your local store if you're lucky enough. If so, I'd recommend getting them, as I love mine and I feel they make a great addition to my little lingerie collection. I have other lingerie in the wings ready to be reviewed, but I'm debating whether I should do a reshoot of the photos or not, since they were also photographed at the same time as these were.

Hooters!

Yaa Readers! How was your weekend? Did we have a hard time getting up after losing an hour? Hate that, especially since I tend to be a night owl. Last weekend I went to Hooter's with some friends. This is only the third time I've stepped foot in said establishment. The first time was for a friend's birthday and he just wanted to go by and get some snack type food and beer. I wasn't impressed. In fact, I've always thought Hooter's was great in concept, but the reality was a little cheesey and maybe desperate, sort of like a strip club as well, except you get to see even less skin. That night there weren't many girls working and the atmosphere was rather lifeless.

The last two excursions I've taken to the big H have been on another level completely. The place was on hit and crawling with pretty girls, each one hotter than the last! The food there is actually decent to pretty good too. I had a Mahi fish sandwich (hey, trying to be healthy here) and it was very tasty and juicy (mahi is SO easy to overcook). Anyway, maybe it's just me who has changed, but I now find the place to be the Chucky Cheese of adult males. There's tons of big screens to watch the various sporting events, a variety of cold beers, cute friendly waitresses and decent food. If I lived closer, I'd probably go there more often! It's all harmless fun, where a guy can go and see pretty girls and eat unhealthy food and drink. If you've never been, I suggest going on a busy night when there are lots of people working, lots to see! It's actually fun for ladies too, I once dated a girl who was always trying to get me down to Hooters to visit with her GFs who worked there...why the heck we never got around to it is a mystery to me, especially now!

Green Day

Dia Dhuit Readers! And how are my fine friends doing? I was down with a cold and frankly feeling a bit lazy and uninspired, thus my lack of postings as of late. I shall try to get in here more often, but it seems my time is spread very thin now days.

Pictured today is the special Saint Paddy's Day edition of Mr Limpy and a Fleshlight, both in lovely emerald green! Not sure if that green color really does it for me, but it does look like fun. Of course the two pantied be-hinds are quite lovely to look at as well. I loves me some ruffles!

We have a huge Irish population around these parts, both recently arrived and long time domestic, so there's no shortage of uh, festivities for StPD. I might just walk on over to one of the local taverns for a cold one. We shall see. How about all of you, any plans? Anything particularly fun? Hmm, maybe I'll pick out some green undies to wear that day. I'll be sure to post a pick of them if I do. Of course, I'll need to compliment them with something outwardly visible as well, so that if anyone asks where my green is, I won't have to reveal my panties! ;^)

Special Event

Uerauka Readers! Tomorrow is a big day. "Why", you ask? Because Victoria's Secret will be rolling out their latest creations in the Body collection at special events to be held in select stores. I scored a pass, but I won't be attending, sadly. You were supposed to RSVP by Friday (yesterday), so I'd guess if you havent' done so, you may be out of luck if you want to go. Perhaps you can sneak in if you try hard enough. There's supposed to be DJ music, prizes and gifts for attendees, so sounds like fun. If any of you attend let me know how it was and what you might have seen there. Have a great weekend everyone!

Extra Savings

Jai Jinendra Readers! Friday already...yay! Just wanted to alert you to the extra 25% off available on clearance items over at Fresh Pair right now. I found the above Callie thong panties by Fantasie still on the chopping block at $25.50 minus another 25 percent. Under twenty smackers for a pair of Fantasie panties is a steal! I have a couple of their garter belts and they're divine! Wonderful design, detailing, materials and construction. Get 'em while you can! Enter code "low25" at checkout.

Ice Queen

Ezender Readers! How are you all doing? Sorry for my recent absence, I've been spread a little thin lately and with the Olympics on TV, it seems most my spare time has been zapped. I did get a chance to watch the movie "Whiteout" the other day. No, it's not about corrective typing fluids (if you don't know what a typewriter is, you shouldn't be reading this blog for a few years). ;^P The film is about a female federal marshal stationed at Antarctica who must investigate a murder. Of course the marshal happens to be drop dead gorgeous and played by Kate Beckinsale. The reason I mention this film is that right in the first few minutes of the film, we get a wonderful strip down shower scene of lovely Kate in her white panties and bra. To say her body looks spectacular is an understatement. Anyway, the movie itself is just so so, I didn't hate it, but I also thought it could have been better. Maybe save watching it for a hot summer day when you need cooling down, or on second thought maybe watching it on a cold winters night might enhance it and make you feel closer to the action. Funny, I did a little digging and saw some references to Kate using a body double in this movie, but clearly she didn't use one or need it. For those of you not willing or wanting to spend an hour and a half on this movie, here's a little clip I found on You Tube of the shower scene (no nudity)...enjoy.

Insatiable Again

Ahalan Readers! Not beat a dead horse with and old shoe, but as many of you know, my favorite porn actress is/was Marilyn Chambers. Of all her movies, I'd have to say that Insatiable was her finest and is a big part of why I adore her. If you asked me what porno movie I'd pick if I were stranded on a desert island and could only have one, this would be it. In fact, I've actually bought this movie a few times in various formats, the latest being the 30th Anniversary Edition on DVD (pictured above).

Like so many things, it seems even porno movies were made better in the olden days. This one was shot on film and had an obvious big budget feel to it, what with the helicopter, mansion, Ferrari, Rolls Royce and location shots in London. I found this version on a fluke and knee jerk ordered it on the spot. Shortly after, I began to wonder if I'd just thrown my money down the toilet since I already have a DVD of this same movie. What sold me was that it said it was remastered and had some extras I'd never seen before. I tried doing some research after the fact (I know, I know, should've done that first), but couldn't find any useful information about this new release (from the Dynasty Group).

The DVD came pretty quickly in the mail and I popped it in as soon as I had a chance. The first thing I noticed was that the menus were completely different than those of my old copy, a good sign perhaps? When I played the actual movie, to my delight (and relief), I found this version vastly superior to any I'd ever seen. The picture has been brightened and cleaned up considerably compared to the old DVD version. In every iteration of this movie that I can recall ever seeing, there are some scenes that were so dark that you couldn't really see everything that was happening. In this remaster, I could see detail that I never knew existed. All that time, I thought it was the director's intent to hide things in shadow for effect! My only complaint is that they may have gone too far in trying to sharpen the picture as it sometimes has a slight posterized look. Also, strangely they didn't clean all the scratches and such from the film. The sound is quite good, although to my ear, not as far of a jump ahead as the picture quality is.

In addition to the clean up and sound enhancements, they've also added an extra commentary track with Marilyn and a female interviewer watching the film together. This is in addition to the original commentary from the old DVD with Gloria Leonard. I know what you're thinking, who the heck wants to hear some commentary while watching a porn flick, right? Wrong, for fans of this film, it's great to hear what people who were there at the time have to say about the film, especially now that Marilyn is gone and we can never ask her ourselves. In speaking of the famous pool table scene, she tells us that it was a fantasy come true and that anytime she needed to fantasize, that scene would be what she thought of. WOW, I can't tell you how incredibly hot that scene is, but knowing that just makes it all the hotter! The commentary also gives you great insight into the woman that was Marilyn Chambers as she is very open about talking about her personal life, very interesting stuff.

I actually think the commentary track alone is worth the upgrade price, but with the cleaned up video it's all the more worth while. You also get a nice extra of Marilyn at the premiere of the movie in LA back in the day wearing Daisy Dukes that are beyond short with no undies on under them (maybe the same ones on the poster?). If you decide to purchase this, make sure you get the Dynasty Group 30th Anniversary version, as the old version is still around. Also note that the copy I got is only one disc, and it was advertised as being a two disc set (another reason I took a chance on it), so there may actually be a two disc set out there as well. If you want it, try a certain site that rhymes with P-Day, I've seen it there cheaper than anywhere else.

A Hand to Hold

Hola Readers. I'm afraid today's post is not so much fun. It seems that our good friend and fellow blogger at Slip of a Girl is in need of some assistance. Another victim of the sad state of our economy right now. I won't get into my theories of how and why we as a country are in such hot water or how to get out, that's not what this blog is about. I will say that we do need to reach out and help others now more than ever. Take a look at her most recent post and please try and lend a hand, if not financially then spiritually. I think she could use a good virtual hug right now. I would imagine anything would help right now, so if you can spare it please do. Let's hope she's back on her feet soon so she can concentrate on the silkier things in life! :^)

Xla Readers! How are you all doing? I haven't been around much the last week or so, just enough to throw in a quick post here and there. Frankly, I was starting to feel a bit burned out. JamieLin has brought to my attention in her latest post (welcome back JL ;^) ) that the owner of the Satin and Lace Blog has put out a call for pictures of her fans wearing purple panties. So with that in mind I'm posting the first pic of me in a long time. Yes, that's my lil' hiny pictured above carefully wrapped in a pair of VS lavender chiffon ruffle panties. I'll be reviewing those panties in an upcoming installment BTW. So, now I'm gonna throw out an addition to the S and L Blog request and add that any of my readers who want to participate in what I'll call "Post Pics of Your Purple Panties (PPYPP)" please do so as well.
