British retailer gets criticized for new lingerie product

British retail giant Marks and Spencer received harsh criticisms for its move on selling a new lingerie product, specifically a bra that can just be worn for just eight hours.

According to reports, the store has started selling a £20 stick-on, strapless bra which has been advertised as an “ideal” underwear or lingerie for women wearing strapless or backless tops or dresses. However, a disclaimer by the manufacturer states that it should not be worn for more than eight hours.

The warning was issued because of the high level of silicone embedded in the bra. Though it provides the necessary grip on the skin, it can also irritate those who have sensitive skin.

The retailer got the flack because it did not mention on the website the warning by the manufacturer and even stated that it does provide the secure support without stipulating the aforementioned time period. Some of the customers said that they use their underwear for more than 12 hours, but it is not recommended. Having a bra with such a limited lifespan could certainly make a rather interesting twist in the Cinderella tale...

Supermodel Elle Macpherson shows off still-sexy body at store opening

She’s always been known for her very sexy body that’s why she has made it big in the modeling industry, not to mention getting the moniker “The Body” when she started in this lucrative industry.

Almost thirty years after she started, supermodel Elle Macpherson still has what it takes to compete against the younger generation. In a recent opening of a designer lingerie store in Sao Paulo Brazil, Macpherson was seen wearing a very tight silver dress which accentuated her sexy body.

The 47-year old model was wearing a $4,000 Herve Leger sequin bandage dress and it was paired up with black heels.

It’s a wonder for some why Macpherson went to Brazil to support an opening of a designer lingerie store considering that she has her own lingerie line called Elle Macpherson Intimates. The supermodel has yet to make a statement on the matter.

Lady Gaga becomes modern lingerie icon

Popular artist Lady Gaga has never settled for the ordinary and has become an American icon when it comes to sporting modern lingerie. In her latest photo shoot, the “Poker Face” singer has depicted the popular Statue of Liberty, with a twist: wearing a lacy black lingerie.

In the latest edition of fashion magazine V, Lady Gaga was seen with fashion designer Marc Jacobs nearby. The 24-year old’s blonde hair was sculpted in such a way that it will depict the crown of the iconic structure. She was also holding a burning paper torch to complete the ensemble.

This is regarded as one of the most creative photos of the artist yet.

Magazine editor Stephen Gan said that Statue of Liberty was a gift to America by France. For Lady Gaga, she is a great gift to New York’s fashion and pop culture.
