Some of the items set for the March 17 sale by Kerry Taylor Auctioneers include a 1964 Christian Dior black crocodile handbag and a scarlet chiffon nightdress. ...
To many of us, a picture of lacy lingerie is no big deal. But if you're blind, an image of sexy panties may be a lot more thrilling -- perhaps even downright touching. For the past year, Toronto artist Lisa J. Murphy has carried out a quirky creative vision: to create racy, arguably pornographic, art for the visually impaired. Murphy made headlines earlier this year when she released a handmade book titled "Tactile Mind," featuring raised, 3-D images of naked people and private parts sculpted onto thermoform plastic pages -- the same material used for Braille. Lisa J. ...
(Oct. 25) -- Snuggies -- the famous "blankets with sleeves" from those cheesy TV infomercials -- may look frumpy, but with a little imagination, they can be hotter than lingerie in the bedroom. Now, you've probably heard of the myriad sexual positions associated with the ancient Kama Sutra, but what about those practiced in "Snuggie Sutra"? Created by friends Lex Friedman and Megan Morrison, Snuggie Sutra is exactly what it sounds like: A series of different sexual positions that can be performed by couples all while wearing those big, blue oversized blankets. Courtesy of ...
(Sept. 7) -- If you thought Madonna's cone-cup bras in the early '90s were outrageous, one woman can top those tenfold with her artistic take on bizarre brassieres. Since 2004, sculptor Laura Ann Jacobs has been creating risque fine art inspired by women's lingerie from her bicoastal studios in San Francisco and Palm Beach, Fla. Her body of work includes more than 100 unusual, ornate sculptures of bras and corsets that are meant to poke fun at the extreme lengths to which women will go to in order to look attractive by society's demanding standards. "I am fascinated by the extent to which ...
(Sept. 1) -- British thumbs were decisively down after a series of Princess Diana-themed lingerie ads sprouted in China -- on the 13th anniversary of her death. The massive billboards feature a scantily clad Diana lookalike along with a suggestive slogan, "Feel the romance of British royalty," and promote a new "Diana"-inspired line of lingerie for the Chinese company. Some of the ads also feature the princess playing a cello to a young, blond boy, an obvious nod to the princess' sons, William and Harry. Diana was killed in Paris on Aug. 31, 1997, in a car crash that also took the life of ...
(Sept. 1) -- The thought of seeing 10-year-old used underwear doesn't paint a pretty picture to most people, but artist Natasha Zupan can't wait to empty her drawers. The panties in question -- as well as bras, corsets and other lingerie -- have been transformed into paintings as part of an art exhibit called "Flesh Folds" that Zupan created 10 years ago and displayed in a New York art gallery that closed in the aftermath of 9/11. Although many of the pieces were bought by high-end collectors such as actor Michael Douglas and model Claudia Schiffer, Zupan has kept a bunch of panty paintings ...
(Aug. 18) -- When it comes to the newest fashion trends, men are usually late to the party, but one unique accessory is finally putting guys ahead of the curve. Now, girdles and guys don't traditionally mix, but a new line of compression garments dubbed Ript Skinz, from shape-wear company Skineez Skincarewear, is hoping to change all that. The twist? This skintight attire is made for men who want to suck in that gut and smooth out those bulges underneath their regular clothing, gym gear or work suits. Ript Skinz powered by Skineez Skincarewear Matt Fox models Ript Skinz at the CurveNY ...
You know when you read something and it really doesn't resonate right at the moment? But then -- I don't know -- an hour later . . . maybe a day . . . maybe even a week later, you think: "Ah, yes! Precisely!" ...
