Wednesday’s Review & Commentary

Ginch Gonch for Girls Review

Over the summer during one of the FreshPair sales I finally picked up a couple of Ginch Gonch knickers and I love, love, love them, so much so that when they had another sale I ordered the long johns for the fall!  These squarely placed me in the Cozy Cutie category with a side order of childish, yet, like Boyfriend nightshirts these are still quite sexy.   The 4-way stretch form fit cotton and the pillow tag (no itching or scratching there) are so soft, the wide elastic waistband doesn’t pinch or roll,  the Underroo inspired prints are really fun and the How To Wear instructions are hilarious.

These are not boyshorts, these are boy’s shorts, vent and all and there are limits as to where you can wear them; no white pants -unless you want people to stare at your bottom, no slinky dresses and probably not to the doctor’s office…my bad.   I plan to wear the longjohns as loungewear/sleepwear  but (if I’m really bold)  I could where them as leggings with an oversized sweater because they are that cute.

As mentioned I picked these up during Freshpair’s extra 40% off clearance sale ($8 briefs/$12 long johns, rrp. $28/$42).  FP still has a few briefs on sale for $13 but if you want a better deal (and they aren’t sold out) wait and either sign up for their newsletter, friend them on facebook or sign up for Knickers Bargains for the latest deals on lingerie worldwide.  (shown: I Love London brief $28 at Ginch Gonch).

Wednesday’s Buzz: Not All Lingerie Is The Same

I just received a Playboy Lingerie catalog in the mail from eFashion Solutions and I do not like it. I’m on this mailing list because eFashion Solution appear to think all lingerie is the same, it isn’t.  The problem is this catalog isn’t geared toward women (who the lingerie is for), its target appears to be men.   From the pleather costumes and the cheap “designer inspired” lingerie to the extremely cheesy videos, their target market is clear and, being a woman, I’m not it. My gripe is, that eFashion Solution’s previously held accounts, such as  Myla London USA, have disappeared and what is left is tacky, porn-style lingerie. Myla London sell designer lingerie and tasteful accessories for women and the people who love them; sadly Myla have left the U.S, leaving one less opportunity for American women to buy designer lingerie and accessories.  What’s worse is its replacement, which continues the U.S. puritanical notion that lingerie is only about sex and therefore belongs to the realm of men.  eFashion Solution, please remove my name from your mailing list, and for those of you interested in erotica that rocks check out Coco de Mer.
