Retro Looks In The Modern World: Lingerie

When it comes to lingerie, retro inspired is truly sexy. Instead of focusing on a retro themed editorial, for this edition of Retro Looks in the Modern World I am showcasing 4 companies that do retro lingerie right. In other words, I want it all!

Lucy B. out of Los Angeles, has a great variety of affordable camisoles, bras, panties etc. Some designed in collaboration with pin-up model Bernie Dexter.

oooh, Rigby & Peller from London. High end deliciousness. Their 70th anniversary collection, Platinum, pulled from their archives is amazing! Look at that cone bra!

What can I say about What Katie Did, other than I wish they were stateside! The best looking bullet bras I've seen plus a fantastic selection of seamed stockings.

Dirty Dolls Lingerie has a romantic approach to their retro line. This one is pretty enough to wear on the outside!

The Mode Merr Holiday Spectacular!

Yesterday I attended the Mode Merr Holiday Spectacular. As you can imagine, an afternoon filled with shopping, burlesque, live music, and a fashion show, was a ton of fun! With my right hand still wrapped up and unusable, taking great photos was a challenge. Here are a few decent ones, I'd like to share:

The adorable Angie Pontani doing her amazing burlesque act.

Melody Sweets singing her beautiful torch song while stripping down.

The lovely ladies at the Dirty Dolls Lingerie booth. Being the lingerie crazed lady I am, I will be posting more about them soon!

The beautiful World Famous *Bob* modeling Mode Merr.


I was thrilled to meet Rocket J, from the Pin Up Finishing School. Here she is absolutely stunning in her leopard Mode Merr suit after modeling in the show.
