Discovering Myself: The Transcendent Queerness of Genderfluid Lingerie

Today's guest post is from Neptune Violent, who describes themselves as follows: "Professionally, I'm a journalist and freelance cultural creative. Often, personally, as Mrz. Neptune Violet, I bend gender and cultural expectations like a bag of soft pretzels. Moreover, as Nep, I'm a sociopolitically aware, and sex-positive, binary-shatterer. In final, my deepest-seated goal of late -- in any form -- is to become 'America's Next Thot Model.'" If looking for […]

A Brief History Of Garters and My Favorite Designs

Disclosure: All of the garters reviewed here were personal gifts to me. All opinions are my own. When most people think of garters today, they think of a wedding tradition, or of a garter belt used to hold up stockings. They rarely consider the textile bands used to secure stockings from previous centuries. The earliest garters had no stretch and were tied just below the knee to hold up their […]

Why Is This Lingerie Lace Everywhere?

I was working as a sales associate at Journelle when I first saw this lace. It was used for the super popular Natalia group, a private label bodysuit and bralette set that were as sexy as they were wearable. At the time, I thought nothing of it, other than noting how many of the popular ouvert knickers I sold every shift. But shortly after I left my retail job, I […]

My 10 Favourite Lingerie Pieces

I own a lot of lingerie. People have different words for what I do: collecting, curating, or straight up hoarding. Lingerie is my job, but it’s also kind of my life. It’s my passion and my hobby.
