Introducing Our Latest Project: Lingerie is for Everybody!

Today’s announcement has been years in the making, and I’m so excited to finally be able to share it with you today. Way, way back in 2015 (a forever ago in internet time), I reserved the Instagram handle “lingerieisforeverybody.” After years of writing about intimates, I felt increasingly uncomfortable with the imagery I saw from most lingerie brands. Even brands that claim to be inclusive or diverse often fall into […]

Lingerie-Inspired Trend: Sheer, Over the Knee Stockings Boots

Most shoes I like aren’t in my size, and over the years, in the style of The Fox and the Grapes, I’ve convinced myself that’s a good thing.
