Color Me Red ~ Panache Lingerie

I have a personal rapport with the color red.  My first car was a Red Toyota Corolla; $3000 new including air conditioning and snow tires.  I was 21 and I wanted to make a statement.  I polished my nails in “Revlon Red” lacquer, painted my lips in “Dior Red” lipstick, owned a red Bill Blass coat and donned a pair of red suede Charles Jourdan stilettos , which I wore to work in a retail job where I had to be on my feet constantly.  I did not care.  Red said, “yes I can and I will”.  Red defined who I thought I was (or wanted to be):  vivacious, creative, confident and worthy of attention.  Red is the quintessential metaphor for passion.  It is sexy, emotional, and hot; a seductive collage of blood, roses and wine mingling with an erotic tango, and lush fruit on a sultry summer night.    Red worn wisely is a fiery splash of encouragement in a classy wardrobe.

What I could not find in those youthful days was a beautiful bra in any vibrant color, let alone red, that was designed for my curvier torso.  Foundations developed with fashion flair for a fuller bustline did not exist.  It was not until I was introduced years later to the award winning British brand, Panache Lingerie that I was properly hooked.  I have been wearing Tango (#3251) for several years now having been fitted in this pretty balconnet style by my friend Kay-Lin who insisted I deserved and could actually own a bra that was mutually supportive as well as charismatic.  So you can imagine how nostalgic it was for me when I learned that the Tango collection, now celebrating its 10^th year of successful global sales, was being launched this month in Cherry Red.  Available in sizes D – K cups, nothing embraces a full breasted woman with attitude quite like the dynamic Tango in sultry red.
