My older sister and I were not particularly close when we were young, or so I thought. After all, she was impeccably groomed and hysterically neat (my description). She slept in a perfectly made bed; head full of rollers, hands detailed in never chipped red lacquer laid carefully atop the bodice of her crisp white nightgown.

Recently, Bravo star-turned-mogul Bethenny Frankel released her line of shapewear via Dreamwear known as Skinnygirl Solutions. At the press preview, she proclaimed that it was “lazy” lingerie. Why?
