Blue Monday 6 1 09

More like a blue and black Monday (if not aqua and black, as La Senza calls this Mischa set) as embodied by Wales' Danielle Bux.

Micaela Reis Looks Great In Red Bras

Angolan model Micaela Reis has been in scores of beauty pageants, and done very well for herself. Now, if they'd only replace the Swimsuit Competition with a Lingerie Competition, I'd imagine she would have won them all..

Casual Lingerie Fridays

And, how far have Casual Fridays gone at your office?

Alessandra Ambrosio Helps Us Celebrate 600

I'd like to say Ale called to wish frankufotos Lingerie a Happy 600th post (as of Monday's for Memorial Day), but I'm pretty sure Ms. Ambrosio has other things on her mind. Such as, raising a daughter less than a year old while still looking better than 99% of us ever will.



I couldn't decide which of the two photos to use, so, thanks to indecision, you get both. The color photo is for Victoria's Secret's new stretch lace panty. Did we mention Ms. Ambrosio's been a Mom for less than a year? Actually, yes, we did. One more thing to mention; aside from hitting 601 posts as of today's, we've now passed 506,000 hits, and well over one million page views. Thanks so much to all who've read fufL over the past almost-three years, to all who've commented, to the lovely models whose photos fill our pages, and especially to the many (often un-named, but certainly not untalented) photographers who've made the images possible.

Now, if I can just convince my girlfriend/fellow lingerie enthusiast to guest-write a post before we get to one million hits.. (oh, I'll be in trouble for mentioning this, but it will lead to some fun making it up to her..)

Red, White & Blue Memorial Day 5 25 09

..and remember those who served and sacrificed..

Blush Lingerie: Try This Stimulus Package

Rough translation:
'You can stimulate with $787 Billion, or with $99.90'
So, where can we go to vote for her?





Created for the fine folks of Blush Lingerie's German division. (By the way - I love how they list every credit except the lovely model..)

Fernanda Mello's Lingerie Destiny

Colombian model Fernanda Mello in the 'Destiny' bra and panties set by German brand Mey. Not a bad destiny at all..

Esquire Saw Katy Perry In Her Lingerie

..and we liked it! (Obvious Line Of The Year Award, but tell me it's incorrect, I dare you..)

Catching up with Ms. Perry's photos by Sheryl Nields in the April 2009 issue.

Blue Monday 5 18 09

One site lists the features of this Marie Jo Avero Contour Convertible bra as having 'lifted V-shaped cleavage presentation'. That it does..
Though, being almost Summer and it being a convertible bra, one may come up ideas of riding with the top down..

Play Perfectly In Bed This Weekend

In - or out - of a Wacoal 'Perfect' bralette and bikini panties. Hers in Petal Pink.

Matching Lipstick and Itsy Bitsy Lingerie?

I know some girls match their lingerie to their outerwear, but she seems to have matched her mascara and lipstick to her Itsy Bitsy bra and shorty (that's not just descriptive, that's also the U.K. brand of her smalls)

Early Summer (Glau)

Is Terminator:The Sarah Connor Chronicles dead and gone after the season finale? Could be. Maybe, maybe not. Time will tell, FOX will say May 18th. Even if Summer Glau's Cameron might be gone, Ms. Glau will go on to other things. If they do cancel it, hopefully she stays away from FOX; they seem to have a habit of whacking any shows with any Whedonesque connections..



Hopefully, some of those things will include more photoshoots like this one by Tyler Shields.

By the way: not lingerie-specific, but certainly Glau-specific (and, my girlfriend, a former dancer, would throttle me if I didn't include this):


Not that I mind watching it..

Blue Monday 5 11 09

Here's your hat, what's your hurry? It's only Monday. And here's your bra and panties from Valisere's Fastosita collection.

Zoe Saldana: Uhura, May We Please See Your Bra?

Thank you.

By now, is there anyone who doesn't know J.J. Abrams' reboot of the Star Trek franchise is opening in a good part of the world this weekend? (fufL even told you about it as far back as November 2007).

Among the cast, and perhaps of most interest to this blog, of course, is Zoe Saldana starring as Nyota Uhura, who may not be a lieutenant in the new movie's time frame, but she'll certainly have a bit more to do than open hailing frequencies. Not that Nichelle Nichols didn't do that quite well in the original TV series, but I always liked the fact she got to kick a little Mr. Adventure ass in the movies. Speaking of Ms. Nichols, we pause this post, with no disrespect meant for Ms. Saldana for this photo:



Damn.

Onward, and back to Ms. Saldana:



True, these images from an Esquire shot she did awhile back aren't lingerie-only, but we'll enjoy them just the same..




The new cast are signed for two sequels, so Ms. Saldana can be prepared to put on - and, perhaps, take off her Starfleet uniform for awhile longer. Not that she's a stranger to uniforms, or all things Trek; witness a moment of her performance in the Tom Hanks movie The Terminal..

May Flowers 09: Caitlin Manley

Or, if we might call her, the under-photographed-in-underwear Caitlin Manley.

Normally, we carry a theme week through Saturday, but for reasons that will be apparent with tomorrow's post, something timely will arrive.

May Flowers 09: In White Lace

Flowers can be white, too, but not too plain.

May Flowers 09: Red Roses from ASOS

Roses? You shouldn't have. Well, OK, she should. From U.K.'s ASOS.

May Flowers 09: Zoe Duchesne

Zoe Duchesne, looking not only flowery, but a bit different than the last time we featured her barely in lingerie by Blush. The above from their Spring/Summer 2009 collection.

Blue Monday 5 4 09 - May Flowers Week

True, the flowers are more on the lady's sweater than her blue lace Verdissima bra and panties, but it still puts across the theme of this week's posts on fufL.

Handmade But Hardly Hopeless Lingerie

Hopeless Handmade Lingerie seems anything but hopeless. They have two collections (so far); the bright and more playful Posie Pepper and the sleeker, vintage Noir The Jewel Thief. Either could steal a heart.

Hopeless is designed, made and marketed by a 26 year old Australian entrepreneur Gabrielle Adamidis. (Great; I'm not quite 25, I've got a blog. She already has an entire lingerie empire-in-the-making). Above, the black Dahlia Bra, Alice panties (or knickers - the Brits and Australians get to have an extra fun descriptor, notice) and Lily Garter Belt with stockings. Below, the also-inspired by Alice in Wonderland Pansy knickers with a pink ruffle.



They also sell through Etsy.com, and even though each piece is custom handmade, they say allow only 4 to 5 weeks. I know of a few 'majors' they can take that much time for mass-produced lingerie and other items, so not bad at all.

And, although I've done posts before alluding to the fetish my girlfriend and I enjoy of ripping each others' underwear to shreds, this is not the kind you treat as such, and just not for reasons of price, but for reasons of artistry.
