Remember how awkward it was to figure out the size you needed for bras all on your own? More
Underwear thievery might seem like the kind of activity reserved for dirty old men and cartoon gnomes, but try telling that to the acquisitive teens whose activities formed the basis for book (and soon-to-be-released movie) The Bling Ring. As it turns out, these mostly female miscreants stole mad underwear. And not just any underwear: Miranda Kerr‘s underwear. More
Look, when I think about Victoria’s Secret, I generally think about leopard corsetry. Want to know a secret? A personal kind, though somewhat related to Victoria? I shopped there when I was about 16. I basically thought “leopard skin on everything” was the definition of sexy. I grew out of that. But The Daily Mail is shocked – absolutely shocked! – first, that Victoria’s Secret is sexy, and second that teens are shopping there. More
Do you balk at the word “panties?” Do you think it’s because it’s evocative of something that only refers to female parts? To be fair, maybe you just don’t like that word. But if it’s the former, well, now there is frilly underwear for men! Men will have their own sexy, lacy panties. More
Bras are nothing but trouble! In addition to making your breasts sag (/maybe), underwire bras are also sabotaging your outdoor adventures. Metal underwires are throwing navigational tools off, causing hillwalkers (that’s British for “hikers”) to get lost. According to the Mountaineering Council of … More
Since two of its members were sentenced to two years in a prison camp for “hooliganism” last year, Russian radical feminist punk rock activist collective Pussy Riot has become something of an icon on the global stage. An icon of radical direct action, resistance in the face of tyranny, and…mass produced lingerie? More

The Daily Mail has rounded up some of the most sexist ads from the “Mad Men” era. They note that:
“To push their products, advertisements from the Fifties and Sixties simultaneously created and reinforced gender stereotypes, depicting women as brainless beauties and kitchen-dwellers who, most of the time, need help looking slimmer.”
OH GOD THEY ARE AWFUL. More
A Swedish retailer called Åhléns recently introduced plus-sized (for lack of a better term) mannequins. A blogger spotted the lingerie-clad mannequins, snapped a photo, the image started to surface on Facebook and Twitter–Women’s Rights News shared it with their half a million followers, etc–and the image went viral. According to one Swedish publication, “In just a few days the picture has received nearly 60,000 likes while shared by almost 18,000 people.” Neat!
So, two things. More

To help promote her upcoming turn in the Boy Meets World sequel Girl Meets World, Danielle Fishel (a.k.a. Topanga) has submitted herself to Maxim‘s lad mag treatment: lingerie, housework in heels, the whole nine yards. Looking at the photos, I’m impressed with how little she seems to have aged since Boy Meets World ended 13 years ago, despite having lived a relatively normal life bereft of all the magical poisons Hollywood starlets generally gain access to at age 28. I am also struck by the degree to which the uber-socially conscious Topanga would probably not approve. But it’s all worth it for the story she tells about Bob Saget: More
