wonder

I miss this place and probably that is one reason why i have not deleted it as yet. Some new colours and designs of thread added to the chest and some worn out. One new piece completely is a MAC lipstick - light brown almost nude.

Mothercare

Well for those dud- heads could not guess from the title of the post - I accept your congratulations for the impending bundle of joy... rather my second bundle of joy.

I went shopping to mother to find clothes that fit my current size and can accommodate expected growth as well. And like always, i did buy a bra. for 800/- its one of the most comfortable things i have ever put on.

I want to writ and write i will. I have separated lace from life and have dedicated spaces for them both.

And Back!

I stopped. But then today the urge is too strong. Its like smoking.

I shopped today and bought this awesome piece of lace about which i have to speak it out. Lifestyle is a good store overall but i was pleasantly surprised to see the lingerie section. Leagues better than competition. 3 - 4 brands on the outer but the collection is mind blowing.

I had gone to buy a skirt and landed up with one more bra. The thing is simple white baclonette with a lace post half cup. The lace is white with deep pink tiny flowers and the center support is the same lace. A steal at 1400 inr.

I dont love(able) you anymore.

I just had to say this... i have lost all respect for Lovable. I mean what kind of jerks do they think we are to buy that old freakin design rechristened as encircle? And i will be damned if anyone can say that the fit is good. Shitty is the word. I spent a stupid 700 bucks on this super cute leaf green lace thing with dark green flowers on it just to find that they have lost all idea of the kind of fit they used to create.

Please stop buying lovable. better fits available and lower prices.

Goodbye.....

I always used to wonder why do i not have any female readers except a few. An author, who's work i greatly admire pointed out that "it is eminently titillating". I did not want this blog to be an extension of Nancy Friday (with due respect to her). And thus i bid farewell to all those who have supported and cheered here.

I will be deleting the post maybe in a few days.....still can't muster the strength.

All the regulars... i know you guys personally well enough to not need this blog to communicate. I can always spam your comments box.

Thank you. Goodnight and goodbye.

What is lingerie... to me?

Over a period of time i have realised that men and women both think of lingerie as a just another piece of clothing. This scares the living daylights out of me, coz for me its more much more.

A bra is just not cotton and some elastic to help breasts fight gravity. Its like a lover. I remember the first time was asked to put one on. Till the time a girl actually has to start wearing, there is this thought in mind --- how will it be? How does it feel... is it too tight? Is it cloistering? Will it keep me warm?The initial days are like a honeymoon.. the newly acquired gate pass to womanhood. And then like most relationships, it gets taxing and demanding. Some days one feels like leaving the bra stacked up in a corner and to just be free..let the tender skin breath..feel the bounce. But, by then you are so used to support that the sudden freedom is tough to enjoy.

Like a lover, the bra holds me, soft and tender with a gentle pressure. With my breathing its rubs or sooths the sensitive skin. Like a lover, you take up the wrong one and it leaves a dirty scar on you.

I have to write on this and i want to... but i cant. I blame him, and the way in which its put..damn. This post is stuck in my head and rousing my demons. I had promised myself that this will not be my corner and please kick me if i ever do. But right now i just cant think. I shall complete the post soon. So long.

Update: I thought i was at my worst.. till i read this. If i ever get around to talking to this man, I sure as hell will scream like Janice (friends fame) in his ears... no make that laugh like her.

Whew!!!

Whew! Today i undertook the gargantuan task of cleaning my Lingerie shelf. Tough job i must say. I was amazed to some of the contents and irritated with a few others.

In the entire process i realised a few things
1. Lovable should bring down the quality of the product if they want to survive in the Indian market. I still have a lovable, my first lovable bought on March 23, 2001 from a store called Red Rose in Vashi. I mean i always thought that i had thrown it, but no there it was, soft and gazing at me like a long lost lover. I was in the last sem of my mba. My aunt had introduced me to the pleasures of lingerie. On my birthday she had bought me a Juliet number trimmed with lace and another item by i forget who. I did not like the second one much and thus went and got the lovable. It has lasted for over six years and the cloth is still as soft. I bought my second lovable in july 2001 from my first salary. I can never forget the kick i got that day and at times i still get when i put on a piece that I had been eyeing for sometime.

2. A delicate bra wrapped in tissue paper stays good for long. I had a pink coloured triumph made of delicate lace and this straps. Like all the other good bras that are not part of daily circulation, this was bundled in tissue paper and boy did it feel good or what.

3. I Use things carefully and thus end up not using them at all. Coming from a modest background, buying an expensive bra which ranges above the average couple of thousands needs to be treated rather with care. I had bought this most amazing black baclconette in sheer tissue fabric with red roses embroidered on it. made by a french designer, i bought it from a lingerie boutique in bandra. After having paid a bomb (ol man still thinks is a bomb.) i kept it carefully and now i realise, to my chargin, that i have rarely worn it. I think its time to bring it out more often.

It's late in the night and i can't remember more... Maybe i shall post a few more things tomorrow. So long.......
