Ribs
It’s always New York where controversies
happen, isn’t it? And this week it’s La
Perla New York that’s bought itself a bit of a storm in an AA cup. Well, not so
much the cup as the mannequin wearing a red bra.
Spotted by a shopper, the mannequin in
question had visible, some might even say, excessively skinny, ribs. The person
who took the photo tweeted it with the message, ‘How does #LaPerla think ribs
on a mannequin is ok?!’
Good question. Apparently it doesn’t,
but by the time La Perla responded, quite a list of twitter users had joined in
the controversy, stating the mannequin was awful and gross. Now the lingerie
brand has tweeted in turn, saying the mannequin had been removed from the store
and that she wouldn’t be used again.
Curves
And now for something completely
different. Nicki Minaj is famous for the opposite of ribs – her stunning
décolletage and wondrous rear end have been assets only slightly less popular
than her music and now Ms Minaj has launched an advertisement to support, not
her curves, but her wine! She made the ad to feature her Myx Fusions wine label
and she was wearing, amongst other items a stunning purple-blue Stella
McCartney balconette bra and pantie set, over which she put a fringed skirt
(more fringe than skirt, to be honest) and finished the look with a pair of
Versace platform shoes.
Her new look, with her natural curls and
lovely curves, is definitely a good vintage and for those who have a derriere
to admire, taking a leaf from Nicki’s book is a great idea.
Thongs
Our favourite bottom-enhancer at present
is the Malaguena by Wolbar, which really gives a stunning definition to every
rear, and the sheer fabric and dainty bow stop it being even a little bit
trashy – it’s a perfect romantic garment which wins votes from women and their
lovers – truly a top performer!
One little note – Nicki was apparently
nicely oiled up for her video, and we all know that baby oil is the finishing
touch of choice of both bodybuilders and beauty contest entrants, but if you
want to get the look, it may be better to find a water based body glosser as your
bedsheets will probably not recover from being exposed to a lot of baby oil!y.
