Tactile Beauty
I am not much of a movie aficionado, but last week I went to see Avatar, because I was curious about the 3D effects. I did not expect to leave so inspired, not only by the innovative film technology but also by a storyline critical to sustaining our environment, our country and our sense of personal integrity. Avatar is all about character, good and bad and the story reveals itself in a visual bath of color and texture, so rich, that it is mystical in its impact. It is not the dialog or the acting that drives this allegory, but imagination and vision and all the expectations that this can evoke.
Avatar reminded me of Hanky Panky, a company dedicated to the environment, to protecting United States based production and the original creators of the one size stretch lace thong. Apart from this correlation to the film’s theme, I could imagine the heroine, Neytiri, wearing this very feminine soft cup bralette (# 113) from the Hanky Panky Signature Lace Collection on her thin, small busted body. It is constructed for a petite fit with it’s over the head access and adjustable straps. Besides the fact that the triangle cup bra is a key fashion layering statement this spring, the plethora of colors in this lush, textured floral lace bra could easily be from a garden on the imaginary planet of Pandora.

HI Ellen, I really didn’t want to see Avatar but now I am intrigued. As for the environment, remember, Body Bark from beechwood trees and Bamboo Nights from bamboo ( 96% bamboo) are both eco-friendly. Also Wendy Glez has an (continued… click Pat’s name above) . . . eco-friendly group in her new line that actually is one of the hottest sellers for summer. I think everyone these days is looking at that aspect for product.
