Often, in the language of lingerie, we reference ballet. This is an art defined by grace. In its classical state it is informed by tulle, pastels, softness and delicate lines. A ballerina’s movements are fluid, light, and almost effortless in perception. There is a sensual mirage on the stage. The audience never sees what lies beneath the dancer’s pursuit of perfection.

For some women, myself included, beautiful lingerie can serve as a wonderful mood-boosting pick-me-up.

Dismayed, she could not believe that I, a proponent of upscale intimates would not be wearing matching underpants. This conundrum has confronted me multiple times when generous vendors … Read More
The Hipstripes panty concept has taken quite an odyssey to get my attention: travelling from NYC to Mexico and back again to Connecticut.

Panty Salad got its name from my favorite music station, Groove Salad, a SOMA FM online music station based in San Francisco. I thought the name was perfect because everyone likes panties, everyone likes salad, and I have so many brands and styles that they kinda look like a salad of panties when on my desk and lined up ready for photography 🙂… Read More
