Undies


A Nod To Burner Style From … Victoria’s Secret?

Gorgeous women in skimpy lingerie and wings rocking playful, over the top haute couture.  It could be the Playa but what we’re hinting at is this year’s annual Victoria’s Secret (VS) fashion show which just occurred.Victoria A

One of the most anticipated and popular events in the default world fashion community, the annual VS fashion show has a reputation for being a sensational smorgasbord of perfect bodies in sexy undies.  This year’s presentation, however, is generating even more buzz than usual due to a bevy of the buxom barbies sporting pieces clearly inspired by alternative fashion sub-cultures, most notably Steampunk.

VS continued their angels-wearing-wings theme but added a daring new twist by replacing feathers with balloons, gears, patchwork quilts, and other nontraditional  items.  It will be fun to see who from our community will one-up these designers with the wings they construct for this coming year’s burn.

This show reminds us how effective skimpy undergarment outfits are on the Playa.  They’re also easy to pack and practically keep themselves organized.  Just imagine only needing a medium sized purse for all your Playa outfits! (Well, that and a really warm fur coat.)

Plus, consider the off-playa benefits: cleaning them is a breeze, they’re great for the bedroom or the beach/pool/hot-tub, and they almost never go out of style.  The bottom line is, they create a titillating opportunity for adding potent sexual energy to the atmosphere of any situation.

VS’s notable departure from their typically blase’ style campaigns of the past resulted in Playa-worthy looks that are every bit as glamorous while being immensely more fun!  Whether or not this is a continuation of the BRC-inspired trendsetting announced during the Milan fashion show is unclear at this point but we’ll take this as a strong indication that the paradigm shift isn’t over yet …

If you’re interested in wings, we’ll be posting soon about a radical pair we are currently crafting.  Click the subscribe links to the right and you will be notified!

UPDATE: Watched this show online (click here) 3 times yesterday with a large group and everyone LOVED it.  It’s great entertainment in addition to the incredible fashions (many of which I had not seen pictures of yet).  I recommend that you skip the “reality show” portions but plan on watching it more than once!
