There are different kinds of paties out there so what is your panty styles?

Thong

Thong - these bareback basics panties have much practical purpose, in that they eliminate unsightly panty lines under skirts and snug-fitting pants. Among thongs categorie here are the most common thong varieties:

G-strings feature little more than a triangle of fabric in front and a thin “string” of fabric around the hips and down the back. This is one of the skimpiest thong styles and is best reserved for wearing undertight-fitting bottoms to eliminate visible panty lines. (see g-string thong pictures bellow)

V-strings are similar to G-strings but feature a rear string that separates into a “V” of two strings (or a small triangle of fabric) at the rear waistband. (see v-string thong pictures bellow)

T-backs have waistbands or strings that stretch straight across your waist; so from the back, the side and bottom straps have a “T” shape. (see T-thong pictures bellow)

Rios are similar to T-backs except the waistband rises above the hips at the sides instead of sitting straight across your waist and back. (see rio thong pictures bellow shown on man and woman)

Tangas offer the most coverage of any thong style. They generally have wide waistbands and back straps. (see tanga-thong pictures bellow)

Bikinis

Bikinis - give full coverage in the back with leg openings that are cut above the thigh. Most bikinis sit about three inches below the natural waistline, although with the popularity of low-rise pants, some are now cut even lower.

classic bikini offer comfort and full back coverage (can be high-rise / above waist-line or can be low-rise / bellow waist-line) (see classic bikini pictures bellow)

lace bikini / brazilian bikini offer comfort and style at the same time with good coverage as well as style through lace material that often being incorporated into the brazilian bikini fashion. (see brazilian bikini pictures bellow)

Side-tie bikini offer fun styling by adding ribbon tie as a twist in its fashion (it can open up - so becareful to tighten up those bow-ties) (see side-tie bikini pictures bellow)

String bikini born out of creativity by thinning the sideline, sometimes there can be single string, double strings or even tripple strings bikini (see string bikini pictures bellow)

Boy-cut short, Culottes & Hipsters Briefs

Boy-cut short is a full-coverage panty style with a low-riding waistline and leg openings that rest just above the thigh. Because they sit so low on the waist, boy shorts can visually lengthen your torso (see boy-cut pictures bellow)

Culottes is cut like a boy-cut short except it looks like a skirt wrap/mini divided skirt. (see culottes pictures bellow)

Hipsters Briefs - offer the same low-riding waistline as boy shorts, but the leg openings hit well above the thigh, helping to avoid the fabric “ride-up” you sometimes get when wearing longer-cut boy shorts. While hipsters are generally considered a full-coverage style, some may be cut a bit higher in the rear than classic boy shorts or briefs

Modern briefs, like traditional briefs, offer full front and back coverage, but have a lower rise. Their waistbands sit a few inches below the natural waistline.

High-cut briefs offer the same full coverage as traditional briefs, but have high-cut leg openings in front. The waistband sits at or just above your natural waistline.

French-cut briefs (picture shown bellow) have the highest-cut leg openings of all brief styles. The leg openings hit the highest point on the hip and are positioned more to the front of the panties than the standard high-cut brief. The waistband should sit at your natural waistline.

Control briefs (picture shown bellow) are meant to slim your tummy, bottom or upper thighs. They look like traditional or high-cut briefs, but feature control panels at the front, rear or both.

I didn’t know there’re four ways to tie a tie. This how-to-image guide is from a european site. I find it very helpful now I can tie ties many ways for my husband, kinda fun =)

These days women, girls … people in general just want to get the look of celebs and not thinking thoroughly when it comes right down to money issue. So is handbag and jewlery renting is the right thing to do?

well let’s think about it if renting from companies like BBOS (bag borrow or steal) cost about 270 dollars roughly per bag per month not including their additional insurance fee, shipping fee, membership fee which will add up close to 300 in total then by the 5th times you are renting say you’re renting it per month then you’ll end up owning one for yourself, in where you can sell it back without loosing much, especially if you keep the bag in pristine condition. Plus you can only rent it for 5 months from bag rental companies but owning it means you can use it for as long as you want till you’re ready to get rid of it.

here’s an example of someone owning it, she showed her bag collections here, so there’s a pleasure of collecting your own handbags.

Other than that you might want to think several times before renting out with company like bagborroworsteal.com which recently change name to avelle. This company has lots of bad qualities: first, a very bad customer service (I experienced this myself) live chat is not always available and the USER INTERACTION of the live chat SUCKS and REALLY SUPER SLOW, phone customer service also really slow and some financial manager of the company promised me to return my call back and she never did! They’re just not able to resolve any issue! Secondly, order takes very slow very long to process, some items arrive in bad condition - I wouldn’t even want to wear it - worn tissue inside from previous user, yuckie/gross looking — oh hygine is pretty important for me, they just don’t seem to take a good care of their bags. Plus from a customer service rep that used to work there: they only have few of the bags and the wait list is like over 100 people => few is like three bags only! How would you feel paying monthly fees and renting bags for over 300 dollars and you have to wait for don’t know how long cuz a person can keep the bag for as long as she wants! More over some naughty ppl try to change the original bag and return a fake, yes heard over that issue from customer service rep that once work there, so you wouldn’t really know if you’re carrying a real one unless you own the real thing. Just cuz I am a bag freak - renting especially from them is really not a good experience!

so ladies do your homework before renting bags or jewelry! there is another renting company called frombagstoriches.com which is much better deal in price (can be 50-100 dollar cheaper than bagborroworsteal.com) and much much much nicer, they will arrive in good condition and faster a lot faster. curios? read here - other people have the same opinion.

BBOS only concern about marketing, they’re not concern about their customer at all. I’ve learn my lesson and just better buy the real thing nothing can beat that.

some testimonials here:

Please Stay away from BBS
Reviewer : Cindy (Hinsdale, IL)
I had ordered my first bag and it nevered arrived after 10 days. When I contacted BBS via their Live Chat, someone was going to check with the warehouse manager. After 36 hours I contact BBS again. I was told that the order was never processed. Yet my bank had put a hold on the funds. I have read some true horror stories about BBS so I canceled my membership. While I think this a great idea, I wish I had read teh reviews first before I joined. Too bad. I also told them I thought their Customer Service was very poor and that I was very disappointed. I am a Quality Manager and never would we have treated a customer this way.

here’s another one:

THE CUSTOMER IS NOT NUMBER ONE
I actually was a customer service rep for the website in Illinois. This company is no way by far Net Flicks. My basic day was nothing but unhappy customers online/phone/emails and live chat complaining about lack of product. Which is true. People would pay a high monthly membership for bags that we never had many in stock. How do you split 3- $2000 bags between 100 requests?. The corporate office was always spending a lot of money to appear on TV shows, media etc which of they themselves appeared on or in the photo shoots. I guess they were only interested in the glamor of it and being on tv. But never invested much money in buying the correct much needed quantities of bags to make sure everyone would get one. Why should someone be charged a $100.00 membership every month and then be told the bags not available or there is a long wait on that bag or told to pick something else out. What upsets me more is the fact that they would get brand new Louis Vittons in (only 3). The waiting list was 50 people with $100.00 membership customers.Sometimes the ones that complained the most went to the top of the waiting list.( not fair) BBS would not always mark any high end price bags, so when we received them back we really had no idea if the one that came back were fake. Or if they were marked never using their black light method to check them for fake returns. Just send them back out the again. There were a few times that I swear the bag was fake and got into it with the manager about this. And was told to just send it to the next person in line. Can you really be sure that the high end bag is the real bag and not a fake?. There were big problems with mail order fraud (not on BBS’s side but with customers with fake address, credit cards that were stolen or revoked and never heard from again)Course these people just walked away with a $2000 bag. At the time I worked there anyone who had a credit card, and It authorized for one month membership would get anything sent to them. (I would hope to think that they would be now doing a better checking system on people before shipping a $2000 bag out to them, only to find the next month membership billing on the card was closed by the card company or stolen ……..bye bye bag!!!! That means one less bag and longer waiting line for customers paying higher end memberships.
I would not recommend this company. They only have a hand full of the high end bags and when rented out the lucky ones keep renting them for months. There is no time limit on when you have to send it back. If they only have 5 high end bags and 5 people get them for 6 months, you still have to wait 6 months plus to rent it. The pics of the bags on the web site were usually taken of brand new bags. The bag you receive may not be in as good as shape as the pic posted.

another testimonial:

VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE
Bag Borrow or Steal is a great idea, but the actual company is not managed well in terms of shipping, customer communication and service. I have had more wrong or failed orders and I really tried hard to work with them as I actually have a great need for their product.
My first complaint is that they do not ship the bags in a timely manner. I have paid for overnight shipping countless times only to find that they didn’t ship the package for 2-3 days afterward. What is the point of the extra overnight charge then?
My second complaint is that their Live Chat is hardly ever operational and when it is, they cannot answer a direct question, you only get generic answers that just don’t help. If you call the 800 number, you get excuses and made to feel like the problem is your fault not theirs.
My thirds complaint is that they have absolutely no customer communication. They do not confirm your order via email so you are left to wonder if they received it. If you log into your account there is no info there either so you are left with calling their ineffective customer service or Live Chat line.
It is such a shame, because I really wish I could like this company, but I am sure that a good competitor will come along and steal their business- then I could actually get a good bag.

DIDN’T MEET MY STANDARDS
Bag Borrow or Steal is a great concept but I found the actual bag quality less than what I had hoped for.
I asked to borrow a bag from the middle of the line handbag collection (approx. value $450) and it had several small oil marks on the front, the bottom of the purse was dirty and in one of the inside pockets there were small pieces of waded up paper. The leather was considerably worn and didn’t look like the picture at all.
I have a small collection of higher end purses, none over 5 years old and my purses are all better than the one I received to try. I didn’t even want to carry the purse I received and sent it back the next day and canceled my membership. I was not given a refund nor an opportunity to explain that I felt the quality I received was not up to par. All I received was a computer generated form letter.
The pluses are; a great concept, excellent website with lots of beautiful things to look at, fast ordering and shipping process.
Overall, it comes down to luxury and Bag Borrow or Steal needs to step up the quality of their bags.
Recommended: No

This site looks good but I would not become a customer. I’ve looked over the prices. Most customers would think it cheaper to buy a gently used one from an auction site, buy a fake one, or buy the real one. These fees can add up.

Bag Borrow or Steal may have a new customer service department, but they still have horrible business practices. They are raking in a lot of money by over charging for bags, not spending money on upkeeping the bags, and then charging people’s credit cards 2-3 times and waiting until after the consumer consults with a legal time to get the charges removed/refunded. http://www.fashionaccessoryforum.com/general-handbag-discussion/3144-cindys-bag-borrow-steal-experience.html gives an accurate look at bag borrow or steal

I hope this part of my posting & sharing really help all of you female out there who happen to share same interest but confuse at the same times especially regarding designer bags.

Showing off cleavage for butt has become the latest trends especially for those low-rise jeans fans - I guess this reminds me of Britney Spear’s sexy look when she’s holding that hot pop star title, because she always dance with the low-rise jeans, slightly showing off her thongs/unddies above that low-rise jeans (look at the Britney’s “Piece of me” video here and the news ).

<< from Britney’s Slave 4 u video

Discover here the butt crack fashion, that will make you feel a little sexier:

A little fashion note from trendhunter.com:

The butt crack has been the new cleavage in fashion since the dawn of low rise jeans. Those low designs have mostly been attributed to risqué haute couture fashion designer Alexander McQueen; his designs stormed the catwalks and then spilled out to the sidewalks with the fury of a few hundred tornadoes.

Now, according to Trend de la Creme, the posterior is the focal point once again with these revealing lines of intimate apparel from Agent Provocateur, Faire Frou Frou, Fun Lingerie and other intimate apparel stores. The butt crack has been the 21st century sexual fetish: It’s naughty and slightly tawdry, but with the soft, round charm of a perfect pair of breasts.

here’s some quote:

UNDERWEAR INSTEAD OF SURGERY
Hart challenged herself to create an underwear that could replace the effects of surgery. Searching for the best design idea, she stood in front of the mirror and tried a few options using self-adhesive tape until she found a successful one. Butt bra lifts and holds up the muscles where they need it, Hart explains.

BUTT LIFTING FOR MEN ALSO POSSIBLE
Now, anyone who feels like providing their saggy muscles a put together look can do that. American-based company Hard is an official distributor of butt lifter bras. Ladies can make their posterior look sexier for as cheap as $30. A special offer for men Maniki costs somewhat higher - $40.

Ever woder what’s beneath a woman’s dress? well is it really just skin or something more? Rather a woman’s secret perhaps. Most women will want to display their sexy body curve to the maximum possible, if permitted. It will not only make us women look good but also feel good. Sometimes it is not possible to do so with all kinds of fashionable clothings and wears because we commonly only have regular bras in our closet, which won’t work for special kind of dresses (such as shown in above’s picture with Gwyneth & Celine wearing it). Lucky us to know that some people take that into consideration: making supporting underwear products that are readily avaiable and easily obtainable (e.g. by the www) based on current looks. In a way we have the convinience of supportive undergarment products with ease because people starting to create flexible undergarments not just for regular supporting needs or comfort but also to suit nicely with dresses that are on fashions.

Fashion is not only for clothes, bags and shoes, it even crawl up to your hair. Females need to accessorize their hair to appear neat,… most of the time. Evita peroni has long been the jewel for hair accessories. I first discover about it while strolling around in Copenhagen, now I’m so glad they’re readily available here is the US especially through web based stores like hairboutique.com, how convenient to have items deliver right to your door step.

And the good news get even better with EVITA PERONI joining YouTube in January 2008, so now we can all learn hair trick online =D I did have the embeded clip above for all of you to preview. I don’t know if anyone else is as happy as I am, cuz I just love to play with my hair-do so I guess I’m so exited to have all these at my own convenient (all within reach - just need a computer and an internet connection)

The Booty Push-up - Butt Booster Band

It’s very common to hear about the padded boyshorts or padded panty/underwear where they have that extra padded portion at the back of the panty to add more volume to the butt.

It does work fine I think, but sometimes it doesn’t appear THAT natural.

What if you just want that extra push-up to the butt? or to have that firm look underneath your jeans, the sort of look we find so common in “push-up bra” under a tank top but we just want it for the butt.

Might be a good thing to try-on go here. And these push-up band available just as bands or even with capris and tigh-shapper options.

They are made available from bubbles butt boosting lingerie / bubble butt booster.
