Panties in a bunch?
I stopped by in Victoria's Secret the other day to receive my free Very Sexy panty (black thong, thankyouverymuch.) I know I rally against the insane level of airbrushing VS uses, but I must admit, I like a free pair of undies as much as the next gal and also, their Pink collection is so freaking soft, I want to pull down the hanging tee shirts and capri sweats and roll around in them. (Oh, and I lovelovelove this bathrobe - I wear it as often as possible, except when working out).
Anyhow, lingerie shopping isn't always the most uplifting experience, what with those "I can't see! I can't see!" insanely bright dressing room lights and pictures of glamazonian genetic mutants with 36-24-24 measurements staring down. Which is why I'm loving this new concept from British company Knicker Picker. You go to the site and select one of three models with varying body types - very slim/straight-up-and-down; a tad curvy; and a tad fuller-figured. The woman then waltzes across the screen in a very unintimidating, "I'm proud of my body" way and you can pick different bra/panty combos to try on her. Rotate her front and back to see how someone with your body shape might look in those cute little boy shorts, that barely-there thong or even a cropped silk kimono! And for some reason, I get a total kick out of watching them model the panties-only options - they just kinda cup their boobs and strut on out, not a care in the world.
Not that I've been spending hours on end staring at them or anything.
In a slightly related vein, I absolutely MUST call your attention to the following (Warning: This may be slightly inappropriate, but I think it is so amazing). In honor of Valentine's Day:
This is the FIRST EVER photograph of wild gorillas engaging in face-to-face intercourse (as opposed to, well, you know. Their nicknames are George and Leah and yes, that's their daughter daughter Nancy off to the side. Apparently, face-to-face loving is common in gorillas in captivity, but pretty much never happens in the wild. I think it is so romantic!!
Love to you all!!

Haha that KnickerPicker thing is neat! Although, am I the only one that seemed to find that the first two models on that site looked to be the same size as each other mostly? And the supposedly "curviest" one on the site looked normal sized/skinny? When I hear the word curvy, her body type certainly doesn't come to my mind. :(
Katie, I know...I actually wrote the word "curvy" in my description originally and then erased it and tried to think of way to rephrase because the second and third models are not truly curvy and full-figured. Like you said, they're normal!
I had to try the KnickerPicker site -- what fun! I admire the confidence with which she just turns around and shows off.
Hehe thanks Leslie! :) I didn't mean to nit-pick but I think most real women I know are a bit bigger than the "biggest" woman on that site. But yeah, thanks for posting that link! It was still a ton of fun!
When you said "Knicker Picker" I thought it was going to be about picking wedgies - really I did! I was only a tad dissappointed. It is a pretty cool site. Although it would've helped me if one of the models was post-babies. You know, so I could see what those cute "knickers" would like with my stretched out skin and tiger-claw marks & deflated boobs. Not trying to depress anyone but you can be the same weight post-baby and never again be the same shape:)
Oh Charlotte, ain't that the truth!!!!
(BTW, are you Charlotte from The Great Fitness Experiment?
That Knicker Picker site was kinda cool. I like how they use a real woman and not some avatar 3D type female.
I saw that Gorilla pic on Jezebel. Never knew that before about the Gorillas.
Alyssa - I thought you knew that was me! LOL! Yep. You're Azusmom, right?
Now, back to knickers...
Yup, that's me.
And I'm a little slow on the uptake,lol!
(I blame my kids.)
