- Agent Provocateur Set to Open Atlanta Store-London based lingerie firm Agent Provocateur is set to open their 11th boutique in the US in Atlanta’s upscale Phipps Plaza mall. The company sells a wide variety of high end lingerie but also sells sunglasses, luggage, swimwear and bed sheets. The addition of the boutique should be a welcomed addition to Phipp’s Plaza. If you live in the Atlanta area, are you excited about hearing this news?
- Creepy Sports Bra Ad-According to an ad for a sports bra, women with big breasts can apparently get black eyes if they don’t wear this company’s sports bra. Although it may seem clever to some, to others it can seem in bad taste even in a society that doesn’t take violence as serious as it probably should. What’s your verdict: clever or creepy?
- What Katie Did in Her Trip to India-In 1999, What Katie Did was founded in the UK. However, instead of manufacturing their pieces in the UK, Katie chose to make the pieces in India seeing that no factories wanted to produce the pieces in such small numbers (one UK firm did make What Katie Did’s first suspender belts but they were of poor quality). Today, What Katie Did has been using the same Indian factory since the early days and the lingerie firm’s founder spends weeks at the factory making sure the pieces are up to proper specifications.

- ‘Girls’ Costume Designer Gives Some Advice on Lingerie-Jenn Rogien, costume designer for popular show ‘Girls’, has recently signed on as the style and fit expert for American Eagle’s lingerie and loungewear brand Aerie and she gives a few tips for wearing undergarments in the summer. Check out the article and tell us what you think. Is the advice useful?
Hi! That ad for the Sports Bra is just WRONG!!! As a very busty gal, the ‘give yourself a black eye’ is the go to joke for people and in my case friends. I would never point out body parts and make it the butt of jokes. First, I highly, highly doubt that you can get a black eye from your boobs however vigorous the activity is. We who have accepted our bust size and do our best to look and feel good as busty as we are…to poke fun should not be a way for selling this particular garment.
I have looked everywhere for the article by Jenn Rogien and the link says that the article either doesn’t exist or that something about the link is wrong. Is there a better link?
Try just searching for the headline “‘Girls’ Costume Designer Gives Some Advice on Lingerie.” The article was written by the Associated Press. Since it’s no longer on SFGate, I’ve updated the link to an article that’s still available.
