The Victoria's Secret commercials

[Shugardrawers]

Dh asked me last night if I'd like some lingerie for valentine's day. I gave him a blank stare then reminded him that lingerie is a gift for HIM not me. He said no it's not, the Victoria's Secret ads say it's a gift for BOTH of us. I told him if he found comfy cotton or flannel jammies there then fine. But lingerie is a whole other critter. No woman wants an itchy, uncomfortable outfit that creeeps up their butt and screams "LET'S GET IT ON"

I cracked up when I first saw that commercial. I like my grandmother's philosophy on lingerie: It looks the best piled on the floor in bedroom

I had a huge lingerie shower before I got married. Wore some on my wedding night and haven't worn any since

maybe it's just me, but lingerie doesn't do a thing for me. If you're gonna go to all the trouble to put on such a small amount of clothing, why cover up the best parts? :magnify"

I got a sexy silky nightgown at my wedding shower.... it's now known as "NooNoo", looks nothing like it did when I got it, and my son carried it everywhere for YEARS! When he was about 4, Jack (ds) found a picture of me opening "NooNoo" at my shower and holding it up and he said, "Look I found NooNoo's baby picture!"

We live in Maine, Flannel IS lingerie!

Maybe I am in the minority, but I like it. And I definitely don't look like those VS models As long as it's not to extreme....Why not do something that makes you feel good, right?

That reminds me of a story. 2 younger girls that I work with were telling me about their shopping trip. They were looking at nighties and the #1 asked #2 how this one particular item looked while holding it up in front of her. #2 took it out of her hands and dropped it on the floor and said "How do you think it looks because thats where you'll see it the most!"



adding...nope I don't like that frilly lacy stuff, give me a big old t shirt and I'm fine.

My DH is always trying to get me to get that stuff. I told him there is no point buying something that will only be worn for 5 minutes and end up on the floor. He said it is all about the gift wrap. I pointed out to him that when he is in a rush he will put a gift in a plastic grocery bag and give it like that, but you don't see me running around wearing a plastic Safeway bag!

 

[TheRatPack]

I've got drawers of the stuff and have decided when we move that the box that holds all that stuff is going to mysteriously disappear I just don't understand what man think that wearing thongs or itchy lacy onesies is comfortable.

I don't like lingerie either, I'm always freezing in it. I put on PJ pants and a T/sweat shirt at night.

As long as it's not to extreme....Why not do something that makes you feel good, right?

Whatever floats your boat!

I like VS lingerie. I don't wear a lot of it, but I like to have pretty things. I mostly sleep in flannel pjs, but every once in a while I like to surprise my DH. I don't really do the thong thing too much- I prefer the satin/lace nightgowns, or the cami and boyshort sets.

I agree with this. But then I have quite the panty, bra and lingerie collection (about three drawers worth, ).

"He said it's all about the gift wrap." You are the "gift". the lingerie is the "gift wrap"!

When Victoria's Secret starts making lingerie for Big Beautiful Women, then maybe I'm in. Until then...not so much

Have you seen what's up at Lane Bryant lately? Very, VERY sexy....www.lanebryant.com

I love to wear sexy lingerie, but it's nearly impossible with little kids in the house.

Typical, typcial, typical.............and that goes for both the men and women.

I love wearing sexy bras but lingerie on the whole is just not worth it. I am a Fruit of the Loom underwear kinda gal.

I do have one small confession to make though, just once in my life I would like to look like one of those models and wear the angel wings.

.

Yeah, but you don't see those girls strutting their stuff on national TV with little more than some feathery angel wings.

Ever notice that "lingerie" made for men is just plain silly looking? Short silky robes and cutesy elephant G-strings. I once bought Dh some "Home of the Whopper" boxer shorts. He's embarassed to wear them and he thinks I'm gonna play dress up for him? Fair's fair buddy!!!
