Treacle from Confession Of Lingerie Addict is hosting a lingerie & stockings blog carnival. The idea is to share a post about either lingerie or stockings, share a great photograph about them, or to share a product you've been drooling over. Read more about it here.
Just like a lot of girly girls, I love beautiful lingeries. I often browse them in stores or online, talk about them with my girl friends. By lingeries here, I don't mean the usual simple bras and panties ( although they're pretty much classified as lingeries too ). I mean something, you know, more complex. Maybe bras with addition of certain laces or cups, any sorts of underwear that expose butt cheeks or transparent or modified, bustier, garter belts, many more.
Some women collect them, wear those tight corsets with pride and take facebook photos of them.Sometimes with chain accessories too. That's what I call sexual vixens. ON. THE.PROWL. MEOW!
I'm slightly more reserved than that. I dont know why, maybe because I'm raised by conservative Asian parents ( There I go stereotyping again! Fellow Asians with strict Asian parents, put your hands up! ) ? Or maybe because I have zero confidence? I buy them, put them on, look at myself in the mirror and embarrassedly giggle. Feeling self conscious a little. And giggle some more.
Men's magazines and websites told men to buy their women lingeries, promising that the ladies will love it but mostly it's for their own pleasures. After all, more advance types of lingeries are meant to make sexy times more fun. If you're a man and reading this, one thing you should know is NOT all girls will like these gifts. Not all girls like lingeries. Only buy them one when they do because it will irritate you if she doesn't want to wear it, and it will piss them off if they feel pressured to wear it. One of my best friends actually dumped her man for buying her this black leather body suits with zippers everywhere with matching latex accessories and pressure her to wear them.
That's another difference between men's and women's taste, by the way. Men tend to pick the sexiest lingeries possible : zippers and holes in 'fun' parts, transparent everything, etc preferably in black or red. While me and most girls I know tend to pick the more feminine ones, the cuter the better. Although of course, sexual vixens on the prowl that I mention above are the exceptions.
Here's a photograph of lingeries I like :
What about you? Do you like lingeries? Buy them often? Have your partner ever asked you to wear lingeries for them? Do you oblige? Have you ever told someone ( via phone calls / texts / e-mails ) you wear lingeries just to seduce them while actually you're at home wearing pajama pants or boy shorts? Don't lie now.
If you never or rarely buy yourself these sexy pieces of undergarment, I suggest you start. Not for other people or men, but for yourself. Good lingeries compliment your body and you'll never know how gorgeous that woman ( or man, I don't judge ) in the mirror could be. Such a sexy confidence boost, isn't it?

Thanks for linking to this in the carnival! It's a great read. I absolutely agree that more women should buy sexy lingerie for themselves...it's almost my mission statement. :-)
