American Apparel has used images of Jacky
O’Shaughnessy several times, but the most recent features her wearing a bandeau
bra and sheer panties and has the tagline
‘Sexy has no expiration date.’ So what, you
ask?
Jacky is 62 years old.
Now that’s pretty special! Of course she
probably looked gorgeous all through her life, but let’s give credit where it’s
due, American Apparel have stuck their necks out to use a woman who’s three
times the age of the average lingerie model and she does look absolutely
stunning in these pictures.
Want to emulate Jacky’s look?
Strong colours and sheer/lace fabrics
aren’t the usual first choice of older women but Jacky’s pictures show how to
make it work. Wear two different colours, red and purple like Jacky or any
other two strong hues and choose a strong lipstick shade to bring life to your
face. Let your hair be loose and tousled and keep jewellery to a minimum for a
natural, powerful, female look.
Choosing the best Valentine’s Day underwear
Choosing a Valentine’s Day gift can be
fraught with complications – is it cheesy, is it too much (or to little), does
it give off the wrong signals?
Add to that the idea of choosing that most
intimate of items, underwear, as a gift and the whole process can become
terrifying. So let us help you find the perfect underwear solution so that your
Valentine’s Day gift is just right!
Tips
for him
- Remember
what she normally wears. Women know what feels comfortable to them and
moving too far away from her standard style could leave her feeling that
you’re trying to change her into somebody else. Even if it doesn’t, she
probably understands which lingerie styles work best for her build and
curves. Buy something a little smaller, and little more risqué than her
usual underwear and check it’s easy to get on and off and you’ll be off to
a great start.
- Lace is
lovely for a reason. It’s difficult to go wrong with a lace garment. For a
first time Valentine’s Day purchase, something lacy, rather than sheer,
leopard-skin leather or rubber, will be a gentle easing into the world of
erotic underwear.
- Have a
fall-back plan and a follow through. If your main gift falls flat, make
sure you’ve got something totally romantic to restore the balance. A box
of her favourite chocolates, some beautiful stud earrings, a journal in
her preferred colour for her to write in. It will at least restore you to
favour. And if your main gift goes well, have a little something extra to
back it up – the Luxxa Lion Leo mask is so beautiful that any woman would
be thrilled to wear it, and a mask can free the inner animal … so beware!
Tips
for her
Don’t emasculate a man’s man. Some guys are
totally up for fun and games outside their standard ‘bloke’ apparel but some
feel acutely uncomfortable with anything that seems to threaten their
masculinity. Start with something totally macho – black leather cuffs, a plain
black mask etc and if that is well-received you can move onto your ‘extra’
present, which might be a black thong or, and this is our favourite man-present
for this year, the Sargento from Sensualle, a no-nonsense camouflage pattern
brief with sexy thong side ties. It totally rocks the bedroom!
Don’t ignore his hints. Some men are very
ready to play games, and if your guy has been talking about master and slave
stuff (Game of Thrones can be a good resource) or other role play, this is the
time to get him some equipment so you can both try out his dream.
Trust your instincts. Many partners
actually know their man’s desires and secret wishes but have never chosen to
voice them. If you see a candy-striped thong and wand and think ‘he’d like
that’ then go ahead and buy it! It’s far too easy to censor a man’s fantasies
by sticking to the standard themes – let your intuition guide you and it could
lead to the Valentine’s night of a lifetime!
