Beautiful Sexy Lingerie

Pinup Advertisements, 1950s

The pinup was a common motif in intimate apparel advertisements in the mid-twentieth century. The model on the poster would always have a suggestive pose, with hips and chest jutting out, submitting to the viewer's gaze and communicating loud and clear: You bought these corselets and bustiers to have them seen, not to hide them.

 1954

Corset maker Ada Masotti founded La Perla in 1954, focusing on bright silks embellished with lace trim. Masotti would package the luxury pieces in velvet boxes, like pieces of jewelry—an apt choice given that perla means "pearl" in Italian. To this day, La Perla is still a prime example of how sophistication and sexiness aren't mutually exclusive. 

1960s

The '60s ushered in an era of freedom and rebellion. Many women of this decade burned their bras as an act of defiance and non-conformity, and even those who didn't still enjoyed a more liberated sort of lingerie that embraced the natural female form.

 1970

Lingerie and undergarments grew up a bit in the '70s. Where a girlish, youthful look had ruled the previous decade, modern styles were sleeker and more streamlined, often in silk or lace fabrications.

1993

The '80s and '90s marked the first time we really started seeing underwear worn visibly as part of an outfit.

Joke - Blue Suit

 

A man who just died is delivered to a local mortuary wearing an expensive, expertly tailored black suit. The female blonde mortician asks the deceased’s wife how she would like the body dressed. She points out that the man does look good in the black suit he is already wearing.

The widow, however, says that she always thought her husband looked his best in blue, and that she wants him in a blue suit. She gives the blonde mortician a blank check and says, ‘I don’t care what it costs, but please have my husband in a blue suit for the viewing.’

The woman returns the next day for the wake. To her delight, she finds her husband dressed in a gorgeous blue suit with a subtle chalk stripe; the suit fits him perfectly.

She says to the mortician, ‘Whatever this cost, I’m very satisfied. You did an excellent job and I’m very grateful. How much did you spend?’ To her astonishment, the blonde mortician presents her with the blank check. ‘There’s no charge,’ she says. ‘No, really, I must compensate you for the cost of that exquisite blue suit!’ she says.

‘Honestly, ma’am,’ the blonde says, ‘it cost nothing. You see, a deceased gentleman of about your husband’s size was brought in shortly after you left yesterday, and he was wearing an attractive blue suit. I asked his wife if she minded him going to his grave wearing a black suit instead, and she said it made no difference as long as he looked nice.’

‘So I just switched the heads.’

"When a woman is assaulted, one of the first questions people ask is, Did you say no? This question assumes that the answer was always yes, and that it is her job to revoke the agreement. To defuse the bomb she was given. But why are they allowed to touch us until we physically fight them off? Why is the door open until we have to slam it shut?"
