Hollywood Lifestyles Blog

Have you ever walked into a lingerie boutique and didn’t know what you were in store for? Are you the type that is too embarrassed to discuss undergarments with a stranger in person? Do you need ideas about lingerie such types, functions, and features? Fear not…because Lingerie Lowdown got you covered. Lingerie Lowdown is a subscription based lingerie review site to which different presenters review different types of lingerie provided from literally everywhere! Some presenters review lingerie that they bought for themselves, some review lingerie provided to them from suppliers- either way, the presenters offer the ability for many men and women the opportunity to learn about sexy, exotic bras, panties, dresses, costumes, and much more. What is great about Lingerie Lowdown is that the presenters are not afraid to try on the lingerie, describe what they like and dislike, and provide a real sense to how shop for lingerie and wear lingerie. Each product review is equivalent to a private conversation with the viewer that comes across as intimate and personal. For instance, as a prospective lingerie shopper, you may feel abashed about how certain pieces of lingerie may look and feel on your body. However, you will gain confidence seeing presenters of similar body types model and exhibit lingerie you be interested in trying out. Most importantly, the presenters are non-biased and provide honest opinions no matter who the provider or manufacturer is. Below is a preview of Lingerie Lowdown reviewing a product provided by Hollywood Lifestyles Lingerie Boutique:

Who wants to participate in a group blog about lingerie and boudoir photography?

Whenever I prowl social media in order to find potential clients and network with other businesses, I notice that people that appear the most interested in the products I have to offer are models, exotic dancers, and boudoir photographers. I noticed that people interested in lingerie and club wear outside of those professions are hard to find. Even The Lingerie Addict, a gatekeeper lingerie blogger I follow tweeted about this phenomenon last week. She wrote “The most lucrative customers in a given industry – lingerie included – aren’t folks with Instagrams or Twitters or blogs. They’re the silent people who buy a handful of beige bras every six months like clockwork.” I found this tweet very compelling because it feeds into the narrative that many people – especially women – are not that interested in fancy lingerie. There are many reasons; however, the three most common is that many women feel that buying fancy lingerie is not worth the money and that women only want to wear fancy lingerie when there is a special occasion. Lastly, many have the misconception that they have to have the body of a model in order to wear lavish undergarments. This is not the case entirely. Like many other things in life, your underwear is an investment. You can wear cheap, poorly fitting underwear that make your feel dead and stiff under your clothes. Or, you can wear quality underwear that make you feel loose, comfortable, and free under your clothes. The options are clearly there. I believe the Duluth Trading Company hit the nail on the head with their analogous commercials.  

Diana Ross once sang ‘If there’s a cure for this, I don’t want it and if there’s a remedy, I’ll run from it’ Lingerie = Dependency- once you enjoy and relish in sexy lingerie that is seductive, fun, and embraces your everyday vixen persona you will be hooked! This is the sentiment that you get when you watch short art film Slumber by Lingerie Addiction. The video features a group of girlfriends chilling, enjoying each other’s company to a hip-hop track with cool, party vibes. Then, by the video’s end the lovely ladies are strip down to their undergarments in order to glance at each other and compare each other’s choice of lingerie. The beautiful women exhibit amusement by dancing around each other in front of the camera with delightful smiles and confident body language. The theme of this film is pride in femininity, freedom, and that all women are sexy. This is because the video features women of different types- tattooed vixens, women of different body types, races, and hairstyles; yet, they all appear to enjoy each other’s company which gives the mood of ladies’ day out a party atmosphere. Like the beautiful women in the short cinema, once your find the sexy lingerie that make you look your best and feel your best- you will be addicted to it! Check out the video Slumber by Lingerie Addiction and watch for yourself!

Just a week ago, I began following a blog on Tumblr that focused on thicker, larger women posing for boudoir photos and protesting New York Fashion Week because of the lack of diversity in models of various body types. The blog struck me because it was a curation showing how women- even larger women- are sexy. I was so intrigued by the blog that I guest posted on it. In the past, I have had customers tell me that they don’t wear lingerie because they don’t think they would look good wearing it. However, like always, I end up monologuing that all women have the potential to look sexy and desirable in lingerie.  It is a matter of choosing lingerie that does two things- 1. picking the best pieces that make you look the best and 2. choosing the best pieces that make you feel the best. As humans, one of the things that make us secure is our desirability to attract mates. Lingerie adds to your desirability because it lets your body share your narrative. It reveals how you feel about yourself in your private life. When you wear some sexy lingerie that makes you feel your best, your personal defenses are down and you feel more confident and secure in mingling with others. Remember, lingerie is most often used as a symbol of seduction. Many women have the tendency to wear sexy lingerie when they start dating or beginning new relationships. Still, why wait to put on some of your best underwear to impress someone else? Rather, it is best to put on your best undergarments all the time in order to highlight your assets and desirability to attract others. Lingerie, while it serves its purpose providing a base layer under clothes,  it also serves as a way of expression of how you see your ‘self’. Therefore, take the time to explore and invest in your lingerie wardrobe in order to look your best and feel your best. Attraction starts with self-satisfaction before anything!   

Just the other day, I was in a conversation with a friend of mine about modeling. This is because she is currently working out like crazy to prepare to run in a series of marathons across Chicago this year. I suggested to her to consider modeling because she is highly photogenic, an extrovert, and posts body images on social media regularly. Her response was ‘Are you kidding me" and “This thickness will bring the house down”. Mind you, my friend’s dimensions are 36/30/38. Also, I informed her that plus size models make considerably more money these days compared to the status quo. She told me she would consider it. She thought that it was a revelation that thicker women were in demand for modeling at the moment. Now, the purpose of writing about this conversation is because it is example of how many women can lack confidence in themselves because of their figure. In 2018, continuing with the ongoing trend, women of all types have made and continue to make strides in making their presence known in the fashion scene- whether is it boudoir photography, nude photography, fashion modeling, etc. This is because the age of body shaming is becoming less of an issue as people become more enlightened. People are learning to take pride in themselves and try not to strive to be what they are not. Furthermore, when it comes to advertising, consumers are demanding that clothes and fashion advertising show more realistic people in order for people to get a better idea of how trending fashions will look on them. Lastly, hiring plus size models to exhibit products from Hollywood Lifestyles Lingerie Boutique has taught me a lot about motivation and confidence. This is because hiring thicker models proved to me what I was trying to prove to the world…sexy is a personality! Anyone can be sexy! But we already knew that!

In the health world, they say you are what you eat! However, I say you are what you wear! Many women like to take the time to wear plain jane granny panties and bra sets for the everyday struggle punching the clock. They either try to save their sexy lingerie for a special occasion or they don’t have an exquisite lingerie wardrobe at all. Either case, these are not good scenarios. The energy of how you begin your day is the same way that you end it! The clothes you choose to wear when you get up in the morning is a reflection of how you feel about yourself. Therefore, flirt with your ‘self’ and tease your 'self’ by choosing which type of undergarments you’re going to spoil your 'self’ with for the day! Set high expectations for your 'self’! The more you invest in your undergarments…the more you will get from them! Lingerie is a part of who you are! Our time in this world is limited…therefore, treat every day you wake up as a special occasion. In the words of Rebecca Apsan, the owner of La Petite Coquette, “Lingerie is feminine armor. It is not made for battle or to defeat the world with brute force, but rather to softly protect and empower women against hard breaks in life.” For that reason, each morning you wake up, when you prepare to add a chapter to your personal story let it begin by choosing your favorite pieces of lingerie!
