Lingerie Football League
The petition first - we blogged about the Lingerie Football League before Christmas and after the first match took place, a petition
was launched, asking the owners of Hotel Football, where that match was played,
to end their support of the lingerie league.
The league was set up by Gemma Hughes who claims
the Lingerie League will highlight the gender gap between male and female
players. The petition contained signatures from the campaign group Women In
Football and many coaches of women’s teams have expressed their concern that
linking lingerie and football is inappropriate for the development of the
professional game and may lead to sexual intimidation of women. The women
players took to the pitch in suspenders and there was a lingerie fashion show
at half time.
Lingerie flingers uncivilised - concert organisers should be whipped
Enrique Iglesias recently have a concert in Sri
Lanka which was a howling (literally) success. On December 20th, when he took
to the stage in Colombo, excited women ran on stage to kiss him and others
threw their lingerie. It might sound like a story from the 1960s, but for Sri
Lanka it’s a new development and so shocking that the national President has
been led to comment on it.
At a public meeting, Sri Lankan President
Maithripala Sirisena said that the concert organisers should be “whipped with
toxic stingray tails” for promoting such uncivilised behaviour which goes
against the national culture. Public whipping with the tails of stingrays was a
punishment reserved for hardened criminals in medieval Sri Lanka - today the
phrase is used to express the need for extreme punishment for severe
wrongdoing. In an odd twist, Sri Lanka is in fact a major exporter of lingerie
which it manufactures for many international underwear brands.
The aerodynamic qualities of underwear have
never previously been a consideration for us, but we’re always willing to rise
to the challenge. After a few days spent flinging our scanties in the privacy
of our own bedrooms we have discovered some key facts:
Good underwear to throw
Leading the field is the underwired brassiere
whose structure seems to make it very aerodynamic - to improve the distance
your underwired bra will travel, we recommend fastening the hooks and eyes and
using a lassoo style throw by twirling the bra around your fingers before
launching it in the right direction. For maximum eye appeal as well as air
travel, we would plump for the LuxxaCamargue bra … it’s stunning in appearance and easy to
throw, but we bet you’ll never want to let go of it, even for Enrique Iglesias!
Boy shorts are remarkably good throwing
underwear too. For these to reach a stage, you need to ball them up and use an
overhand throw as in cricket and although they slow down as they travel, they
still can get a remarkable distance before they flop downwards - the best of
the best for flinging in our view is the Royal hand-printed brief which
combines elegant design with excellent throwing potential and comes at a price
that won’t break the bank if you do decide to fling them!
Sexy absorbant underwear
Incontinence will be an issue for one in three
women, and one in ten men during their lifetimes. Solutions to this problem
have generally been disposable pads and adult ‘nappies’ which achieve the
necessary result but aren’t necessarily the most enticing underwear in the
world. Now a New Zealand company called Confitex is bringing some style to
incontinence wear. Their products are available online and utilise bamboo
technology to be washable, stylish and odour free.
