Here Comes the Bride ~ Part One

April 29, 2018

By TINA WILSON

Spring has finally sprung, I think? With its arrival comes not only warm days and cool nights but a royal wedding. Not one to get swept up in celebrity/royalty weddings, I’m a bit more excited this time around, it’s not every day a royal marries an American. And I love Harry, he’s my favorite.

Since Victorian times, it’s been customary to give the bride to be…a trousseau. … Read More

Color My Mood ~ Spring Arrives

April 2, 2018

By TINA WILSON

“Art has saved my life on a regular basis.” Carrie Mae Weems.

Art, film, literature, and fashion, they are our storytellers. They are barometers of our mood and mirror our times. I believe the diverse colors and infinite patterns I see all around are in defiance of the current dark tone we face, and are a reflection of us, the humanity and good still within.

It’s no … Read More

Captive Audience ~ Bordelle Lingerie

March 19, 2018

I hope to come back in my next life as a movie critic AND a costume designer. I see lots of films; mainstream films, art house films and I attend film festivals.

I remember the first time I entered Paragon Sporting Goods, the iconic purveyor all things athletic and adventurous. I came to NYC very young, to go to Parsons School of Design. NYC was raw and creative, it was filthy, even a bit dangerous and I lived on Union Square a block from Paragon. It was heaven and I want to go back in time, I miss it … Read More

BEAUTIFUL BODIES ~ Salon de la Lingerie 2018

February 19, 2018

By TINA WILSON

The queen of the bodysuit back in 92’ B.S. (before Spanx) was Donna Karan. Oh how I wish she was around to shake things up now like she did then. I had the great fortune to work on DK Intimates bodysuits and shapewear, to see her squeeze into them, to watch her drape them on the models, and to debate with her the merits of crotch snaps … Read More

Resolutely RESOLVED to Resolutions

January 19, 2018

By TINA WILSON

“This time I’m serious, this time I’m determined”. “I will be better than last year”. Sound familiar? It’s that obnoxious teeny little gym rat sitting on your shoulder, whispering in your ear and haunting you online. And now it’s me! Before you click, bear with me.

I belong to a great gym, but I simply don’t go enough. On any given day I am greeted by David … Read More
