So This is Love...A Valentine's Day Editorial
Here is my Valentine's Day editorial, 10 days late, because during the week of love, I was trying to save a friend's life. Still am trying, in fact. The details aren't mine to share publicly, especially not here, but I don't know if I've felt such a deep, profound, upswelling of Philia, the Greek word for the kind of platonic love between the very deepest of friends. Right now, I […]

Lingerie as Outerwear: Artifice Clothing PVC Corset Skirt
Artifice Clothing is one of those goth-y cult fave labels that seem to have been around forever. They’ve been crafting custom fetish-inspired PVC corsets, lingerie, and apparel out of their Toronto studio since 2004. All purchases on their website made to order, while their Etsy store sells samples and pre-made pieces. I remember seeing their work probably a decade ago, but Instagram reintroduced us when a photo of their Clear […]

The International Bra Size Chart, Explained
With so many measurements required for a well-fitting bra, it's no wonder that bras have general size standards that other types of clothing lack. For instance, there is almost always a one inch difference between cup sizes, and almost always a two inch difference between band sizes. Compared to other types of women's clothing, international bra size charts should be pretty easy to follow, right? Like shoe sizes, bra sizes […]

The Best Underwear for Healing After Your Hysterectomy
Disclosure: This article contains affiliate links. In February, I underwent a total laparoscopic hysterectomy and salpingectomy. This means that my surgeon used small incisions and a laparoscope to cut and remove my uterus, cervix, and fallopian tubes, leaving behind my ovaries. This was very much a wanted procedure to fix chronic period-associated pain. However, the six-week-long recovery period did require some planning – not least in the area of underwear! […]

TLA is Away for the Holidays!
I don't usually make a formal announcement here when I'm away, but this year, I thought, "Why not?" I'm working on taking more breaks, not just for my own health and self care, but also to spend more time with friends and family. Not to get too existential, but I've been thinking a lot lately about just how short life is. You don't get extra moments - once they're […]

TLA Holiday Editorial 2019: The Gift
Note: This article is not sponsored, but does exclusively feature TLA's advertising partners. I'm writing this on December 25th, Christmas Day, one week until the first day of 2020. There's a chicken roasting in the oven. My husband and I are trying to decide which holiday-inappropriate movie we're going to watch (I think it's going to be Blade II), and we're turning over costume ideas for a themed New Year's […]

Lingerie Sample Sizes, Part 3: What is a Lingerie Fit Model?
Asia Monet was a business school graduate with a 9-5 job off Wall Street, when she saw an ad on Craigslist looking for a “bra model.” “I didn't even know what that was,” says Monet, “But I thought to myself, ‘I wear bras, so why not try?’” That ad led to Monet’s decade-long career as a lingerie fit model, a model rarely seen on billboards or the runway. Rather than […]

Plus Size Lingerie Review: Elomi Matilda and Sachi
Disclaimer: The lingerie in this post was purchased by The Lingerie Addict for review. All opinions are my own. Somehow, despite buying full bust bras for years, I never tried Elomi until this review. Now part of the Wacoal Eveden group, Elomi offers bras in bands 34-48 and cup sizes D-K. While offerings in the past have included core staples in neutral colors, I find myself much more drawn to […]
