Macy’s Has an After Christmas Sale, and More!

One quick glance at the Macy’s website is enough to let you know that Macy’s doesn’t play around when it comes to after Christmas sales! In addition to a sale on Christmas items, they have sales on denim, lingerie, a white sale, and a sale on furniture. The website has a 2-Day sale as well, and a deal on shipping. With so much to choose from, it might be easiest if you created a list of the items that you really need to get, before you get distracted by all the different sales. I’m looking at the website and finding … Continue reading

Who Has Time for Lingerie?

Yesterday I got a Frederick’s of Hollywood spring preview catalog in the mail. It reminded me of an article Lyn once wrote. (See: Do You Still Wear Lingerie?) I’ve owned a few pieces of lingerie in my lifetime. Some I bought myself before we were married, some I got as wedding presents, and I even picked up a couple pieces since we’ve been married. But I never wear them. My trouble has always been laziness. Seems like a lot of trouble to get into some sexy getup only to, as Lyn pointed out in one of her comments on her … Continue reading

Honoring Alice Davis: Legendary Disney Costume Designer

Costumes designed by Alice Davis This year I missed out on my annual tradition of profiling important women in Disney history for Women’s History Month. My March was very busy this year so I just didn’t have time to do the necessary research. Luckily, the perfect profile has fallen into my lap. This month costume designer Alice Davis was honored on Disneyland’s Main Street, USA, as a new window in her honor was unveiled. Alice Davis isn’t a name you’ll hear much when talking about the movies; she only had involvement in a couple, including, “Sleeping Beauty.” Her stamp is … Continue reading

Having Health Insurance Makes You More Attractive

What do you find attractive in a potential date? Your answer might include the color of a person’s eyes, and the shape of his or her body. Or, you might be looking for someone with a winning personality. Would you be more attracted to someone specifically because that person had health insurance? A survey finds that plenty of young people would answer that question affirmatively. The specific things that cause one person to become attracted to another can vary and tend to be at least somewhat influenced by the current economic factors. Not all young people start off by only … Continue reading

Kotex Challenge: What Does Your Underwear Drawer Look Like?

Kotex, those wonderful makers of feminine hygiene products, is about to look into the underwear drawer of women everywhere. They are having a “Project MakeUnder”. Kotex knows that we start off with a great underwear drawer when we are young filled with matching bras and panties, silky lingerie and fun pajamas. Along the way of life, however, something went awry. Our panties lost their appeal to loose elastic and hanging threads. Our bras twirled around the clothes dryer one too many times and suffered the consequences. Our lingerie had their own set of problems. Kotex wants to give you back … Continue reading

Bali Club and Giveaway

The Bali bra is famously popular in the land of women’s lingerie. Anyone and everyone has heard of it. They make a bra that is so comfortable you may even want to wear it to bed. The Bali Company was born in the late 1920s. A young woman who worked at a bra manufacturing company decided to take it upon herself and improve on what was being sold on the market at that time. She designed a bra which accentuated a woman’s figure instead of squelching a woman’s figure like the bras did at that time. Sara Stein made these … Continue reading

Love and Valentine’s Day

Still a few days to go and I have absolutely had it with Valentine’s Day and all the hype. Hasn’t it all got out of hand that Valentine’s Day is now such a major production? Everywhere you look are advertisements for buying lingerie and chocolates and jewelry and, and, and… the list goes on. But the ones that really annoy me most are the catalogues that keep arriving in multiples in our letter box suggesting men show their love by buying their wives or sweethearts a diamond ring. Well, I know one thing Mick won’t be buying me for Valentine’s … Continue reading

Frugalista Fashions: Buying Clothes on Ebay

As a frugal fashionista, I purchase a lot of clothing items on EBay. The items I purchase most often are my daughters Character Shoes for drama club, Pageant accessories, lingerie, and winter sweaters. Pricewise, there are several things you need to consider when you are shopping on Ebay. The one question you need to ask yourself is: can I purchase it somewhere else cheaper? When considering these questions, you must not only look at the asking price (for buy-it-now) or the highest amount you or willing to bid, but you must also look at what the seller is asking for … Continue reading

Celebrities and (Lack of) Fitness

You know your fitness regime needs tweaking when people constantly ask you when your baby is due… and you’re not pregnant. Right, Kate Moss? The fashionista, who became famous for being super skinny, is… well… not super skinny anymore. But, she’s not pregnant either. People just think she is because she gained some weight (gasp!) and stopped exercising. For the first time ever the 35-year-old catwalk queen is wearing a bra because, as Moss puts it, she has recently “grown breasts.” The super model also reveals that the rest of her extra pounds “went to the right places.” Consequently, she … Continue reading
