[lightbox color=”#000000″ type=”image” title=”” link=”http://lingeriebriefs.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Dana-Schutz-1.jpg”][/lightbox]When I was first introduced to the work of contemporary painter Dana Schutz, I was overwhelmed by the impact of bright fantastical color on her canvases. I was stunned by the juxtaposition of seemingly discordant hues on a surface that seemed almost free of structure. Immediately, I thought of the early 20^th century Fauves and the shift they ignited in the art world as … Read More

His passion at the time was everything he could learn about World War II and the parent in me felt compelled to give him this opportunity.

Indulge ~ Fauve

[lightbox color=”#000000″ type=”image” title=”” link=”http://lingeriebriefs.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/white-chocolate-wine-pairings-1.jpg”][/lightbox]They say that indulgence is the original sin. I don’t agree. When I was married, child of the 60’s that I was, I shunned the whole elaborate wedding thing. I thought it “beneath” my bohemian lifestyle. Of course, I was in my 20’s and I was absolutely positive that I was right. I got married in City Hall. I could not rationalize the point of … Read More

When I was a hosiery buyer (in a past life), it was all about pantyhose: Stockings were a business to accommodate my grandmother’s generation. Not anymore. That’s why I was really pleased when, recently, I had a chance to review the StockinGirl line, a quality leg-wear brand so diverse, … Read More
