Japanese hunts. Online craze

June 30th, 2006

Japanese hunts. Online crazePantsu Getta is the latest online craze in Japan (according to Spa)…

Pantsu Getta bulletin boards contain posts from women providing real-time clues to where they may have hidden a pair of their unwanted panties.

Pantsu Getta, a Japanese term derived from the English words “panties” and “get,” is the name given to the guys who take part in the online bounty hunt, as well as to the game itself.

A woman posts a message announcing that she has hidden some undies in a certain area and the game starts. Anybody interested in searching for the undergarments can post questions, which the woman can answer. When somebody finds a pair of panties, they’re supposed to report all the details on the same bulletin board so that anybody still searching will know they can stop. On occasion, several pantsu getta will assemble at the same time and search for skids en masse…

50s Undergarments and Girdles

June 29th, 2006

50s Undergarments and GirdlesWomen and teens wore girdles and petticoats. They were so uncomfortable. They were hot. They were mandatory!

The Fifties came at the end of a long history of trying to enhance the female form to allure men. No need to say that curves were essential to getting the all important husband, thus insuring one’s economic future and fulfulling the proper career of wife and mother.

Even young girls wore petticoats, which were often starched with a mixture of sugar and water. Then they were hung to dry. Those wonderful “swing” skirts got their rhythm from layers of such petticoats.

The corsetry of previous generations was by far more restrictive. Steel and whale bones were replaced by man-made materials. Girdles became less rigid. And as for bras…some of these had more uplift than a Saturn rocket booster…

Sexy Corsets History: Some Interesting Facts

June 29th, 2006

Corsets are lingerie meant to cinch your waist to make it smaller and push up your breasts to make them seem bigger.

Corsets have a long history in fashion, beginning with our ancestors many years ago…

The Middle Ages
At this time there was an idea that the body was sinful and underwear something rather shameful. But at the end of the Middle Ages clothes were carefully cut and shaped to the body. It was achieved by cutting cloth on the true cross or the bias of the fabric grain. In the 13th century a corset was worn, but as in later centuries it was sometimes worn as an outer garment over robes like a waistcoat is worn. Later costume began to introduce new elements (for the sake of variety and change rather).

Iron Corsets

Spanish fashions influenced Italian and English ladies in the 16th century. An iron hinged armour like corset was worn to flatten the body. The iron corsets were exceptionally uncomfortable! They could only have been worn by Elizabethan ladies. They didn`t do any form of heavy work. Their only benefit seems to be that they produced the incredibly small waisted, elongated flat chested smooth line torso…
