GIRDLES OR BODY SHAPERS …What’s the difference?

Posted by v on January 13, 2008

n.

1.A belt or sash worn around the waist.
2.Something that encircles like a belt.
3.An elasticized, flexible undergarment worn over the waist and hips, especially by women, to give the body a more slender appearance.
4.A band made around the trunk of a tree by the removal of a strip of bark.
5.The edge of a cut gem held by the setting.
Anatomy The pelvic or pectoral girdle.
There is no dictionary definition for body shapers but the body shapers are the modern day girdle. The bodyshapers can truly take you down half a size or more. If you are between sizes as most people are, don’t go one size up, buy body shapers.

Just like the construction of a building, the foundation is the basis for everything else on top, and have all done it - oggled the way the movie stars look in those spectacular gowns, not a lump or bump to be seen. So how come, a few weeks later, on the cover of the tabloids, they look very lumpy and bumpy in ill-fitting track suits or even worse - bikinis. Yes, they look just like us!

Thanks to Oprah, they are all now admitting it - body shapers.
Our mothers swore by this item, they seemed to have gone out of style and thankfully are now back.A body shaper is NOT your Mother’s girdle!
Most bodyshapers today are constructed of stretch microfiber so that your skin can breathe.

LIFT YOUR BUTT - Lift your butt without extensive Brazilian butt surgery or hours in the gym doing butt lifters.


ALL OVER BODY SHAPERS - This body shaper is designed to truly reshape your lower body. It allows you to redistribute some of your irregularities to a more desirable area. This redistribution (I have been told!) becomes more permanent over time. And it reduces your waist .

Posted by v on January 13, 2008

(NEW YORK) Diane von Furstenberg takes her relationship with women seriously.

Her commitment to chic attire that is as comfortable as it is sexy has made her brand a global favorite. Just in time for spring, the ageless designer has launched her first full line of shoes.”I wanted to create power shoes for the woman on-the-go and on her feet,” said von Furstenberg.
“My shoes are not just pretty accessories; they are functional and serve a purpose. Women on-the-go need power, comfort, and fashion.”The collection, which consists of 12 looks, is based on the principles of strength, support, and style.

Are Fashion Tasers are a Little Too Much?

Posted by v on January 13, 2008

Fashionable taser parties anyone? Last year, people were blown away by the pink taser gun being shown at CES 2007, so this year TASER decided to include a few more fashion colors with the introduction of the TASER C2. Ladies hosting taser parties this year will have a wider selection of colors and accessories to choose from.
The TASER C2 now comes in red hot, leopard, and fashion pink hues to match their shoes, and just so you always have it handy, TASER decided to announce a musical holster with a built in 1GB MP3 player that complements your fashionable weapon.
