Not Again

Sorry I've been absent from posting; my mother fell and hurt her sciatic nerve, so I was being the dutiful daughter. Now that she's had the MRI and been properly diagnosed (so she's on the right meds & therapy), regular-ish posting will resume shortly.

Second, my hot deal on cool ads ends next week (June 4th); so buy &/or book 'em now!

Looking For Nemo

An absolutely stunning vintage open bottom girdle by Nemo.


Here's what the seller says:
It is constructed of firm and heavy rayon powernet. The front panel is curvy with an embroidered tulip and two 4" covered stays that are placed at an angle. Elastic adjustable waist with a glossy satin fanny panel bordered with two 6" stays. There are six rubber and metal garters to secure your vintage silk stockings.... four of the garters have the black satin ribbon covering them the back two are without the ribbon ( this is how it is made).

On the left side is a black enameled metal zipper with a black satin ribbon pull and under the zipper are 3 heavy duty hooks & eyes. The hem line is bordered with a very soft 2" netting, the same netting covers the front floral panel.
Color: Jet Black

Since it's not in my size, I will have to search the seven seas for it. As Dori says, "Just keep swimming swimming..."

Ruffles Have...

Dainty blue velvet bows! Finger-lickin'-good vintage ruffled panties by Nettie Rosenstein will make you feel free-to-lay with a delicious details like a double nylon gusset & a satin pillowtab. I hunger for them, don't you?

Below Your Waist...

...And above your hips is a bulge called your upper hip. That's what Turnabout by Warner's takes care of.
Here's the 1965 girdle ad:


Apparently for those who want little hips but hate big girdles.

Because Turn-About Is Fair Play

We all know a few men who've worn panties on their heads, so why not wear bandanas on your bottom? Capture the spirit with D&G Intimates 'Bandana' Thong -- now on sale for just $22.90 at Nordstrom's. (Via Shop It To Me SaleMail.)

Antique Onyx Hosiery Ads

Deanna sent me these scans of advertisements for Lord & Taylor "ONYX" Hosiery found in The Philistine: A Periodical of Protest. They may not contain spectacular illustrations or images; but the verbiage is fabulous! Like the boast that these stockings "will make your vacation time double enjoyable" -- or this:

There is so much that is little,
So little that is big.

The Big Things in life are notable for their rarity, and be they Men or Matter their prominence is marked.

One of the real Big Things is the "ONYX" Reputation -- all Women unite in its praise, and are delighted with it's fine Quality and endurance.

The Steel Boned Duchess

The Duchess is a black & pink burlesque inspired corset made especially for curvier figures -- yes, that means larger or plus sizes. Amazingly, it's not just "larger" but has a longer torso too!
