Do you wear bodystockings? Would you wear a bodystocking?
Singers, models and actresses such as Lady GaGa, Nicki-Minaj and Amanda Seyfried have been spotted in bodystockings.
There’s something to be said for soft, feminine lace &/or fishnet caressing soft, feminine curves. We think think they are beautiful and super seductive.
Tell us what you think!

With Thanksgiving fast approaching, I couldn’t help but remember the old tradition of going around the table with each person saying what they are thankful for. So, let’s do that here! I’ll go first. 
We are thankful for our amazing customers! We are thankful that in a society that seems to strive for skin-deep perfection, we can help to promote a love of real beauty and real women. Women come in all shapes and sizes, and there is real beauty in each and every one.
♥ Love yourself! Love your curves! Embrace your beauty, both inside and out. :-)
Okay, your turn.
What are you thankful for this year??

If you understood the title of this post then you’ve probably been to a Renaissance Pleasure Faire. The best place to dress up in your tightest corset, eat a turkey leg and speak a little Elizabethean. I got to thinking about the Ren Faire after seeing some of the new styles released on Hips and Curves.com this week. Some of these styles are perfect for a Renaissance Faire and can actually be worn after – unlike some of the crazy metal corset contraptions you may have seen at some of these events!
Try a pair of bloomers – just in case the hot summer breeze (or someone who’s had one too many beers) finds its way up your skirt!
This cotton lace chemise is perfect for the warm weather. Pair it with a steel boned underbust corset for some serious shaping.
If you want to go totally casual, try this cotton lace camisole with a pair of jeans.
Remember, fashion from the Elizabethan period reflects the social status of the wearer, so if you want to be seen as nobility you’ll need to go all out! Try a steel boned corset, top hat, bloomers and a riding crop!

Fare-thee-well!

It’s not what you are thinking. Not that size That is another subject for another time!
Every Thursday, my guilty pleasure arrives, People Magazine. I put my purse down as soon as I walk in the door, sit in my favorite chair by the window and open up the first page. I go through the entire magazine, first scanning all of the pages and then going back to read everything carefully.
This week I read an article about Niecy Nash – recently famous for her role on Dancing With the Stars. I like her – she is funny and really cute. I don’t watch DWTS as much as I used to but I watched the first episode of the season. When Niecy was introduced she spoke about how she didn’t want to lose weight or her curves. Nice and all, but I thought it was a little strange because I was recently in an elevator with her (at the Beverly Center) and I thought to myself “boy she is really tiny, she looks a lot taller and bigger on TV!”. I said “hi” and commented on how much I liked the dress she was wearing. She was nice and said “why, thank you!” and we both got off of the elevator and walked to our cars.
In the People article she said that on DWTS she is “the big girl on the show” because she is – are you ready for this – a SIZE 8! Hollywood just stop it. Jessica Simpson was wearing a size 6 when she was called “FAT”. Size 6 is not fat; telling someone they are a size 6 – and fat – is a disaster and an eating disorder waiting to happen.
I wear a size 14 and you know what? I am a girl that does everything she can to be her best everyday. I am not plus, fat, curvy or thick, I am me. I am not my size.
