Lbloggers Fbloggers OOTD and Review of Elomi Valentina Heart-Print Nylon Briefs


     Normally I try to avoid buying panties which don't have enough of a rise to come at least close to the natural waist, but the red heart print on this black size L EL8405 Elomi Valentina Brief was so pretty that I just couldn't resist buying and reviewing them. I decided to style these knickers with an American Rag short-sleeve lace-trim top in the colour '"Yellow Combo" from Macy's in order to provide a nice complementary colour contrast for my lingerie fashion OOTD and review. I purchased the Elomi Valentina heart print nylon briefs from Freshpair. Unfortunately while I was typing this post I noticed that the Elomi Valentina Brief from Freshpair (where I bought them) is currently being shown as no longer available. I do see that there are still a number of other Elomi Panty styles available for purchase there. The Elomi Valentina Brief is also showing as no longer currently available at HerRoom or at Bare Necessities either. You can check out the Latest Collections from Elomi Lingerie here (link to Elomi's site). The delightful pair of red on black heart print Elomi Valentina Briefs I ordered from  Freshpair arrived promptly and I'm very happy to have received them before they were all sold out. It's too bad they're not widely available right now. I think these panties are perfect for Valentine's Day. The Elomi website (link): Elomi Lingerie - beautiful lingerie for the fuller figure.
     The yellow blouse I chose to complement and contrast with the Elomi Valentina Brief Panties in my OOTD and review is an American Rag Plus Size Short Sleeve Top with Lace-Trim in Neon Yellow from Macy's.

TRANSCRIPT: "As you can see, the pair of ladies panties that I'm male-modeling and reviewing in this lingerie review video, have a pretty heart print. It's aptly named Elomi's Valentina Brief. The fabric has a wonderful slippery soft feel. Um, they don't come up to the natural waist, but they're a very pretty panty. I've paired it, uh today, with a uh, an American Rag blouse, for, to complete my blouse and panty outfit for this review. This customer lingerie review video is released into the public domain. Please share it everywhere."  
     
          
You can check out the Latest Collections from Elomi Lingerie here (link to Elomi's site). I like the look of the Elomi Betty Raspberry Brief from the front but they look like the coverage is slightly less than full in back viewing the Elomi Betty Brief on HerRoom's site. The Elomi Amelia Brief in the image at HerRoom appears to have more complete coverage and is high cut but the fabric is listed as a nylon spandex and cotton blend. 
     As I noted earlier in this post, there are a number of Elomi Panty styles available at Freshpair in addition to many full coverage briefs. I have yet to make an in person appearance to participate in Freshpair's National Underwear Day (which I blogged about in my post titled" National Underwear Day 2013, Lingerie Fashion, Briefs in News and Blogs), or to look into participating in Freshpair's Confidence Project by taking the first step and filling out their secure their secure form. I wonder whether someday I might be seen being interviewed in one of the videos on Freshpair's YouTube Channel. I promised I'd Tweet them @Freshpair on Twitter when I uploaded a new video. It's time to tweet!

Lbloggers Fbloggers OOTD and Review of Maidenform Flexees Shapewear Panty Briefs


 At one time Maidenform made and sold a wider selection of classic women's full brief nylon underpants than they do today. Maidenform full brief nylon panties had a very generous full mushroom shaped cotton lined gusset. The large curved rear seam of the gusset rose fairly high. I considered it to be a delightful design feature. The classically tailored vintage Maidenform briefs had some shape and were designed for real women, not toothpick-thin models. You can see how pretty this design feature was in my post titled "Male-Modeling Maidenform Dreams". These briefs used to come in a variety of colours including a gorgeous vibrant feminine pink. By the time I wrote the post "Male-Modeling Maidenform Dreams Part 2" Maidenform's Tricot Full briefs were getting harder and harder to come by, the rear seam of the gusset was closer to being straight across, and the colour selection was sparse. Now it seems the only full briefs Maidenform is making are the Flexees Shaper Panties I'm seen modeling and reviewing in this post. Now that Maidenform has been acquired by Hanes Brands I'm hoping the more traditional briefs will regain some attention.
  
     It only occurred to me after I noticed how pretty this pair of Magenta Maidenform Flexees shapewear panties looks on me in the photographs below, that perhaps the title of this post should have been Male-Modeling Maidenform Dreams Part 3 and be a sequel to my earlier posts.
  
     My lingerie fashionista blouse and panty outfit of the day: A pair of Maidenform Flexees Weightless Comfort Briefs Style 2564 in "Magenta Me Crazy" from Bare Necessities styled with a Jaclyn Smith Women's Plus Floral Ruffle Top in Brooke Green from Kmart
  

Quoting from Kmart's webpage about the blouse I styled in this outfit:
"Liven up your look with the energetic style of this women's plus top by Jaclyn Smith. This silky shirt features a floral graphic and flutters with rows of eyelash ruffles, jazzing up any casual outfit with fashionable flair. Short sleeves and a V-neckline make it ideal for showing off your favorite jewelry."

img_Panty_Buns-.male-modeling-Maidenform-Flexees-Shapewear-panty-briefs.jpg 
     
     
     
img_Panty_Buns-male-modeling-Maidenform-Flexees-magenta-nylon-full_brief-panties.jpg 
     
     
     
      
 
       
I bought the Jaclyn Smith women's plus floral ruffle top in Brook Green that I styled with these Maidenform Flexees briefs for my blouse and panty OOTD from Kmart and purchased the Flexees Weightless Comfort Brief 2564 in the colour "Magenta Me Crazy" from Bare Necessities. 
     
TRANSCRIPT: "The pair of ladies full brief panties that I'm male-modeling in this customer lingerie review video is a Maidenform Flexees Shape Panty. Um I bought it primarily because of the colour. It's very pretty, and the name made me laugh. It's 'Magenta Me Crazy'. Uh, for this video I've paired this pair of panties with a ruffle blouse, a floral ruffle blouse in green from Jaclyn Smith. Um, this pair of Maidenform Flexees panties is, has laser cut leg holes, the idea being, that it wouldn't leave a panty line. it also has a back seam which gives the initial impression that they're sheer when in fact they're not. They're uh, an opaque panty. Um, the back seam does give some shape to the panty. Uh, to me it feels like they're riding up. I prefer to have uh, an, I prefer to have elastic at the leg holes to help hold them in place and prevent ride-up, um, and I'm not concerned about the panty lines. This customer lingerie review is released into the public domain."  
     
     Watching the customer video lingerie review of this pair of Maidenform Flexees shaper panties they appear to fit me much better than I realized when I was making the video review. Perhaps I should have worn them all day long to see whether or not they would actually ride up or whether they might stay put and continue to look pretty. It could have been that I'm just not used to wearing fitted back-seam panties with no elastic at the leg holes. The fabric felt good against my skin and I LOVE the colour!  
     
     Those who follow me or read my reviews regularly probably already know that I like having panty lines and the underwear as outerwear look, whereas these briefs seem intended to make it appear like no underwear is being worn at all. 
     
     How do you feel about briefs with back seams and forgoing elastic at the leg holes in favour of having no discernible panty lines? 
     
     What do you think of the "Magenta Me Crazy" colour of the pair of ladies briefs I'm seen modeling and reviewing here? 

     Do you like the look of the Jaclyn Smith women's plus floral ruffle top in Brook Green I styled with these shaper panties to complete my outfit of the day? 

     Are these magenta Maidenform Flexees shaper panty briefs pretty enough that I can keep my male-modeling Maidenform dreams alive?

If you don't already know what my male-modeling Maidenform dreams were you can read about them at the beginning of my earlier posts titled: Male-Modeling Maidenform Dreams and Male-Modeling Maidenform Dreams Part 2. You can see the earlier customer lingerie review videos of Maidenform briefs embedded in those posts or see them on my YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/misterpantybuns/videos.

NOTE: YouTube wrongfully removed the video that went with this post and issued a strike against my YouTube account for it - a blatant example of sex discrimination being practised by YouTube UPDATE: Those blatantly discriminatory actions apparently were not enough for the bigots at YouTube. YouTube subsequently compounded their egregious bias motivated strike and removal of the video that was embedded in this post by REPLACING IT WITH OUTRIGHT LIES ABOUT ME AND ABOUT THE CONTENT OF THE VIDEO POSTED AT THE URL WHERE MY VIDEO HAD BEEN WRONGFULLY REMOVED, claiming: "This video has been removed for violating YouTube's policy on nudity or sexual content." As you can see quite clearly from the transcript that accompanied the video (above) and from and from the photographs (also above), YouTube OUTRIGHT LIED, FABRICATING AN EXCUSE FOR THEIR BLATANTLY ILLEGAL SEX DISCRIMINATION AGAINST ME. The REAL reason they removed the video was because one or more bigots on the YouTube team did not like the fact that the gender association of the blouse and full briefs I was reviewing do not match my gender - yet another case of BLATANT and INDEFENSIBLE SEX DISCRIMINATION PRACTISED BY YOUTUBE, compounded by their publishing/ posting bald-faced disparaging lies about me and about the content they wrongfully (and illegally) removed. I suspect that the bigoted YouTube operatives responsible for this abuse of power reasoned that I could not do anything about their hurtful discrimination because of the facts that I do not accept money for anything I post on the internet, and the fact that Google's YouTube has so much more money to spend for lawyers than I do. THEY ARE BIGOTED BULLIES who should by rights have anti-trust actions brought against them. Apparently the management at Google's YouTube feels they have enough money for lawyers and have enough politicians in their pocket that they are not concerned at all when their bigoted employees discriminate with total impunity against minorities at will, and with malice. Please feel free to leave opinions in the comments about my modellling ladies full brief full coverage nylon panties on the internet, but understand that it is my right to do it without being censored.

Lbloggers Fbloggers OOTD and Review of Rago Shapewear Panty Brief with Lace


     In the customer lingerie video I made to go with this post I expressed my pleasure with this pair of Rago Shapewear panty briefs.  The next time I order some of these briefs, however, I'll follow the recommended sizing for more comfort when wearing them all day long. The pair of Rago Shapewear Panty Briefs I wore with this outfit were WAY too tight - so tight that they don't appear nearly as attractive in the lingerie review video as they otherwise might have looked if I had purchased the correct size for myself.
    
     The Rago Shaper Panty Brief With Lace Style 919, which I purchased from HerRoom, is a true full coverage brief having classic vintage style tailoring. The briefs have 9 1/2 inch side-seams, a 10 inch rise, and a cotton lined gusset. I love the retro styling of these briefs, and the stretch lace insets add a nice feminine touch. To complete my lingerie fashionista (Lbloggers) outfit of the day I paired the Rago Shapewear black lace-trim shaper briefs with a contrasting Elementz Women's Plus-Size Three-Quarter-Sleeve Sequined Eyelash Ruffle Top in Soft Candle Yellow from Macy's.
    
     I took this first photo of the black Rago shapewear brief shortly after making the YouTube video. In retrospect I should have either taken the photos of my different outfits just before I posed in them for the OOTD photos and videotaped lingerie reviews, or else delayed photographing the separate briefs and blouses until after I'd washed them the next day. Unfortunately some of the white body powder I use clung to the stitching around the leg holes of the black panty brief and is visible in the first photo. Oops! Oh well. I'm too lazy to take another photo of them and will simply leave that photo in this post as a blooper-pic.: 
     
      
     
img_Rago-briefs-with-Elementz-sequin-eyelash-ruffle-blouse.jpg 
     
     
     The classic design of these panty briefs with their mushroom-shaped gusset is more easily visible is more visible in this photo:  
     
     
img_Panty_Buns-.male_modeling-Rago-black_nylon-shaper-panty.jpg 
     
     
     
     In this next image there appears to be a white tag showing under the hemline of my eyelash ruffle blouse. Another blooper pic.:  
     
     
img_Panty_Buns-male-modeling-Rago-shapewear-nylon-full_briefs.jpg 
     
 
     
     
      I misspoke in this video - the colour of the Elementz ruffle sequin top, which I bought from Macy's and styled in this OOTD, is named "Soft Candle". I happened to buy the Rago Style 919 Shaper Panty Brief from HerRoom but it is available from other retailers as well. It would have showcased the vintage look, and retro-style tailoring of these panty briefs much better had I purchased a larger size.  
     
TRANSCRIPT: "In this customer lingerie review I'm male-modeling a Rago Shapewear black shaper panty brief with lace. I've styled it with a sequined eyelash ruffle blouse by Elementz in the colour Yellow Candle. Uh, this Rago Shaper Panty uh has a nice slippery feel in the front. Um, it's got good control and is very nicely tailored, full cut with a classic style. Um, I deliberately got it a size smaller than I should, uh, to see whether it had enough give, um and, plus I like wearing my panties tight. Um, I'm very happy with them, with this pair of panties. Uh, this customer lingerie review is released into the public domain."  
     
     On Rago's website, the fabric of the RAGO Style 919 - Light Shaping Panty Brief is listed as being made of 85% Nylon, 15% invista Lycra. The colours currently listed  on Rago's site are White, Beige, Black, Pink and Red.  
     
     Rago makes high waisted shapewear panties as well which have a waist-cinching effect. As you can see in my customer lingerie review video I could use some shaping of my quite out-of-shape waistline.  
     
     What do you think of shapewear panties? Please let me know what you think in the comments and feel free to leave your Fbloggers Lbloggers Bboggers links there. You can also Tweet me on Twitter where I am @Panty_Buns

Lbloggers Fbloggers OOTD and Review of Shimera Seamless Full Briefs


     
     If you are reading this it means I finally got around to posting a review of Shimera Seamless Full Briefs in Pink Beauty. It's closing in on one year since I purchased them from Nordstrom, on sale, in late January of 2013. These briefs are currently being advertised as having a fabric composition of 90% nylon, 9% spandex, and 1% cotton. The briefs I male-modeled for this customer lingerie review said 91% nylon,  7% spandex, and 2 percent other. Though I don't see the colour Pink Beauty on the Nordstrom website as I'm typing this. I do see Shimera Seamless Briefs listed in the colours Pink Rose, Pink Plumier, and Pink Fairytale. 
     
     For a complementary colour contrast in this lingerie fashionista OOTD I styled these  pretty pink briefs with a Textured Lace Applique Peasant Top in Bimini Splash blue from Dressbarn
     
Quoting from Dressbarn's webpage about the blouse: "This floaty peasant top becomes even more feminine with lacy blossoms and embroidery. Tonal lace applique with embroidered border on front only. Ruffled cuffs, neckline and hem. Slightly textured fabric. Imported"  
"Smocked elasticized neckline, cuffs and bottom
Keyhole with tie at front of neckline
Short sleeves; banded bottom 
65% polyester/35% rayon 
Machine Wash"
 
     
     In person the blouse looks very blue. Unfortunately my photos didn't do justice to the actual in-person colours of either the blouse or the panty.
     For some reason the blue colour of this peasant blouse looks green instead of blue in the first photo. In the second and third photos the colours look faded, whereas in person both the pink and the blue are fairly vibrant. You can get a good look at the colours  by viewing them on my youtube at http://www.youtube.com/user/misterpantybuns
     
img_Shimera-Briefs-with-lace-applique-peasant-blouse.jpg 
Note: This photo does NOT show the actual colours In real life the blouse is actually a pretty blue and the panties are a very pretty pink colour. I included this photo to show design of the front and some detail.

TRANSCRIPT: "In this customer lingerie review I'm male-modeling a pair of Shimera Brand full brief panties in the colour Pink Beauty. To complement the pink colour and complete my blouse and panty outfit of the day, I've paired it with a lace applique peasant blouse in the colour Bimini Splash Blue. This pair of panties is made of nylon and spandex, a fairly high thread count, um the Fabric feels soft and the pair of panties is comfortable to wear. They're not as generously cut in the rear as I would like. Um, the fabric has somewhat of a dull finish, and other fabrics don't slide over it very easily. Um, for my liking the gusset could be a little more full. Um, this customer lingerie review is released into the public domain."
    
     When I made this video I failed to mention the fact that the colour of these Shimera Seamless Full Briefs lived up to their name, 'PINK BEAUTY'. I decided that styling the blue peasant blouse with them in my Lbloggers OOTD would make a pretty contrast. I'm sure many women would like wearing the Shimera Seamless Full Brief Panty due to the looks and comfort. The pretty feminine pink colour and comfort of this panty are enough to make them a welcome addition to my panty drawer. I happened to buy the Shimera Briefs from Nordstrom and bought the blouse I styled them with from Dressbarn.
    
     For me looks, comfort, and soft slippery feel against sensitive skin are each important in a panty. Do you buy briefs for looks? For comfort? for Feel? For all three? I'm still searching for the perfect panties with the best of all three attributes.
    
     What do you think of the colours of the pink Shimera panties, the blue peasant blouse, pink and blue together in outfits, and the outfit I'm showcasing in this post?

National Underwear Day 2013, Lingerie Fashion, Briefs in News and Blogs


This post is mainly about lingerie and full brief panty events, news, videos and blog posts that I FAILED to participate in, FAILED to blog about in a timely fashion, and Failed to do yet. It's not in chronological order but there is a P.S.: "Thank You" at the end.
  
For future posts?

     Here's a photo of some of the blouses and full briefs I've purchased with the intent of reviewing in blog posts and videos but haven't gotten around to yet followed by a list of some of the brands and styles of the briefs in the photo.
  
img- blouses-and-full_briefs-awaiting-customer-lingerie-reviews.jpg
  


  











     Two of the blouses I ordered to complement the briefs turned out to be unavailable and the colours of a couple of them turned out to be a bit darker than expected. I's taking longer than I thought to decide which briefs to style with which blouse and vice versa and looking like I might have to buy even more blouses and briefs to get the complementary colour contrasts I'm looking for in my lingerie fashionista outfits.
  
A partial list of of the full brief panties I've bought and failed to review this year:
  
     
Elomi Valentina Brief in black, size L from Freshpair 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     I suspect there will be an even bigger backlog of full briefs to review before I get around to doing my next full brief panty fashion outfit and customer lingerie review post. 
     
          
      Here's some lingerie news I meant to mention in blog posts before now but hadn't: 
     
CurveNY February 2013 was covered nicely by The Lingerie Journal (here)
     
Kudos to Ms Emily McCombs:  
     
       Back at the end on April there was a post by @MsEmilyMcCombs the Executive Editor of xojane.com  which proclaimed in all capital letters "I POST PICTURES OF MYSELF IN MY UNDERWEAR" which, as proclaimed, featured a photo of herself (a selfie) in black full brief panties and a matching bra. The article closed by stating: "I show you mine and welcome you to show me yours. And God willing, I'll continue to avoid the feedback." Unbelievably I never commented or contacted Emily or xojane - but very belatedly, kudos to xojane's Ms Emily McCombs for her bravery. I think the photo she posted of herself is lovely. Since I also post pictures of myself in my underwear it seemed very appropriate to give Ms McCombs an honorable mention and post a link to xojane.com here. 
     
Panty preferences question with photos
     
On July 2nd, 2013 there was a Huffington Post  article by Lauren Leibowitz titled: "Pick Your Panties: What Does Your Underwear Say About You?(PHOTOS)" You'd think I would have at least made a comment on that one. The article states that wearing "High-waisted granny panties:" means "You're retro at heart." I loved the photos. 
     
CurveExpo NY, CurveExpo NV and Lingerie Fashion Week in NYC:
     
     Unbelievably it appears that I failed to cover or even make a mention of either the CurveNY International Lingerie Expo on August 4, 5 and 6 which was blogged about by Elizabeth Neal here, and by Ellen Lewis of Lingerie Briefs, here and here. Brands included Fleur of England, Zinke New York, Cake Lingerie, Touche Lingerie, Sokoloff Lingerie, Pretty Polly, Monette, and many many more. According to a report titled: Best of Curve NY 2013 Lingerie And Swimwear Show by the International Press Association and made a YouTube video of the same title (here). There were 282 brands being showcased at the show! CurveNV Las Vegas was on August 19th +20th, 2013.  
     
Lingerie Fashion Week in New York City  
     
Fortunately I got to read a couple of articles or watch videos from some of these lingerie events. LingerieFW - YouTube uploaded some videos from Lingerie Fashion Week in NYC including one titled "Dita Von Teese Introduces Secrets in Lace at LingerieFW SS14". I love the look of the vintage style full coverage panties from Secrets In Lace , the delightful vintage style lingerie, and all the rest of the videos too. The Lingerie Journal, was there covering Lingerie FW SS14, including lingerie brands like Bradelis (YouTube), Lola Haze, Uye Surana, Rococo Dessous, Nais, Nevaeh Intimates, Secrets in Lace, You! Lingerie, NOE Undergarments and Affinitas + Parfait. I wonder how many lingerie fashion shows I've missed out on reading about or viewing this year? I love lingerie!
  

  

The MTV VMAs:
  
Some other news involving underwear that I've been late in blogging about: The dancing?/ twerking at MTV's VMAs by Miley Cyrus wearing a latex bra and panty set (see this photo of Miley in mirror.co.uk). Lady Gaga stripped down to a revealing shell thong bikini (see this photo of Lady Gaga in Mail Online) by the end of her act in the opening song of the night - her song Applause. YouTube user hollywoodbackstage uploaded a video titled "MTV VMA 2013: Miley Cyrus Vs. Lady Gaga -- Performance" which didn't show the seashell thong Lay Gaga eventually stripped down to but did show her wearing a sheer dress over black briefs. Jessica Biel arrived to meet her husband Justin Timberlake for a VMA after party wearing an embroidered sheer dress over black full brief panties - (see this photo of Jessica Biel in Mail Online).
  
September 2013 MYLEY CYRUS UPDATE: According to Billboard Magazine,  "Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" Swings Atop Hot 100"  In the controversial hit  she appears in a pair of classic white panties and a crop-top. Here's a link to the YouTube video Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball - YouTube  uploaded by MileyCyrusVEVO

     As the month of August drew to a close I looked back and noted more unfulfilled goals I tweeted on my Twitter a while back: "@Panty_Buns Plan #lingerie reviews of briefs by @Hanes @RagoShapewear @Elomi_lingerie @VF_Lingerie @Maidenform
+Bali from @Freshpair @HerRoom @BareNecessities"  "Sorry for the delays doing new reviews on my blog http://www.full-brief-panties.blogspot.com/ and YouTube http://www.youtube.com/user/misterpantybuns"   

I mentioned my most recent orders of full brief panties from HerRoom in a comment on their YouTube video titled "Undie Awards-Full Figured Winners 2013 - YouTube":
  
"misterpantybuns: I should have placed my recent orders at HerRoom in time to try them all before the Undie Award vote deadline. The Vanity Fair Lace Nouveau 13001 briefs are pretty and comfortable - though not quite as full cut and satiny soft as the Vanity Fair Ravissant 15712. Can't wait to try the others I ordered and model them I'm more full figured than the models shown and still wear either a size 5-6 in the Vanity Fair briefs. Cant wait to try the Rago 919, Shadowline 17042, Hanes 40S3 and Teri 331 briefs".
  
My YouTube Channel:


     
In another failure I still haven't uploaded an "introduction" video for my YouTube (Mister Panty Buns's Channel). Instead of making a new video picked a previously uploaded male modeled customer lingerie review video titled "Mister_Panty_Buns-loves-having-Hanes-Women's-Nylon-Panties-on" from one of my earlier blog posts "Outfit Post and Review: Hanes Her Way Women's Nylon Brief Panties" If I do upload a new introduction video I'll try to take YouTube's advice to make it brief.  
     
Freshpair's National Underwear Day 2013:
     
As Freshpair noted on their website in the weeks leading up to National Underwear Day 2013 noted: On New Years Eve the ball drops in Times Square. On National Underwear Day 2013 come rush hour on Monday August 5th at 5:00 PM the pants drop for 2 1/2 hours in Times Square. Show your confidence and your underpants to help break a Guinness world record on Aug 5, 2013 5-7PM in Times Square on Broadway between 46th + 47th Streets in New York City for National Underwear Day.  The Twitter Finalist will also be announced for the most creative display of underwear confidence from among photos people have Tweeted to @Freshpair  of themselves  out in public in their underwear with the hashtags #NUD2013 and #PDC (public display of confidence). 
          
Freshpair posted photos from the event on their National Underwear Day webpage and uploaded a (somewhat noisy) video titled:  "National Underwear Day 2013 - Cha Cha Slide - YouTube" to their YouTube channel

I wrote in a comment to their video: "So sorry I was missing in action, didn't join in. What a wonderful event and celebration. I had recently purchased some Elomi Valentina briefs and some Tender Bud print Bali Skimp Skamp briefs that would have been perfect for the event. It looked like fun. I have been meaning to write blog and YouTube reviews of some of the briefs from Freshpair and pick up a few more pairs. I hope you do this event again next year and that there is even more media coverage!"

My Twitter list For Lovers of Lingerie:
     
Since this post was supposed to include what I have NOT DONE, I thought about listing all the Tweeps I follow (140 of them) who are in my list For Lovers of Lingerie whom I haven't Tweeted to lately but there are 141 of them. I figured I would at least list the Lingerie Tweeps I follow who follow me on my Twitter, @Panty Buns, and whom I haven't Tweeted #FF s or "Thank you"s to or Retweeted in the last month: Without links: a belated Follow Friday to:

On September 2nd there was an article in the blog Lingerie Talk @LingerieTalk on Twitter) titled: "AP Bites The Hand That Fetes It ". Richard of Lingerie Talk embedded Agent Provocateur's recent racy and controversial video 
"Agent Provocateur: Control Yourself - YouTube" in the post. The Agent Provocateur panties in the video weren't full briefs, but were quite sheer in the back. The video was featured in Mail Online article as well. The video was part of Agent Provocateur's AW 2013 Campaign and stars Melissa George, Chloe Hayward and Elettra Wiedemann and features Autumn Winter 2013 Collection.
    

ANOTHER UPDATE:  More undies in the news at  Burberry Prorsum Womenswear S/S14:

     The tabloids were abuzz with the news when Paloma Faith put her Burberry lingerie on display at Burberry's Spring/Summenr 2014 fashion show at London Fashion Week. A Mail Online article featured a photo of Paloma Faith dressed to attend the Burberry Spring/Summer 2014 fashion show at London Fashion Week in an article titled: "So cute she just HAD to show them off: Paloma Faith exposes underwear in see-through skirt at Burberry show" included a nice (click here) photo of Paloma Faith showing off her Burberry's heart printed underwear with a totally see-through skirt in Mail Online She had a seat in the front row at the  Burberry fashion show.
    

    
Several YouTube news Channels uploaded the short (1:56) Mail Online video of a briefs portion of an interview with Paloma Faith at the Burberry fashion show at London Fashion Week all having the same video title. Two of them were:
    
Paloma Faith shows off her knickers at London Fashion Week by CNN BREAKINGNEWS and;
      
Paloma Faith shows off her knickers at London Fashion Week by skynewsofficial012
          

YouTube user Burberry  uploaded a brief video titled The Burberry Prorsum Womenswear S/S14 Show Highlights - shot entirely with iPhone 5s and on Set. 17th, 2013 uploaded a video titled:  "Full Show - Burberry Prorsum Womenswear S/S14 - shot entirely with iPhone 5s". The video features a large number of see-through dresses.  Quoting Burberry: "Celebrating rich British fabrics and expert craftsmanship, the Spring/Summer 2014 runway features intricate English lace and Scottish knitted cashmere in vibrant pastels and soft powdery hues". Though I could see Paloma Faith in the front row of the show I didn't see the heart print briefs. I thought many of the Burberry fashions were very pretty and there were some pretty looking full briefs visible through the dresses. The main reservation I had about the show was that I think using too many overly skinny models sends a bad message to young fashionistas and may encourage eating disorders.
    
I found the interview of Paloma Faith by  YouTube user Triumph UK, (makers of Triumph Lingerie) very interesting. It is titled "Women in Making: Paloma Faith - YouTube"
    



     
    
There will be more lingerie events coming up as well. I wonder how many more lingerie and full brief panty events I will have FAILED to participate in, news I lingerie news I will FAIL to cover, videos and photos I will FAIL to take, post and write about in these last four months of the year?    
     
An unpublished lingerie review I did back in January: 
     
     Another blog post I hadn't gotten around to posting included photos and a customer lingerie review video of myself male-modeling a pink pair of Pink K Women's Nylon Briefs from Kmart. I'd taken the photos and video back on 4 January 2013 but I still haven't uploaded the video to my YouTube, Mister Panty Buns's Channel.  My excuse for not uploading the lingerie review video back at the time I made it was that in the video I referred to the panties as Pink brand pink panties. After I'd made the video I saw that they were clearly marked "Pink K" on the tag. Pink K brand is unrelated to Victoria's Secret PINK brand panties, which I have yet to purchase, wear, and review. Good grief! You'd think I would at least get the name of the brand of panties I'm reviewing right when I actually have them on, but noooooo....  I had forgotten what the package said back when I bought them in the store and then I missed the "K" in Pink K when I read the tag. Yes, I actually bought these panties in-store instead of being lazy and buying them on line. The fabric is not as slippery and silky-soft as a couple of other panties I've worn such as Vanity Fair Ravissant or Shadowline classic briefs. but they do feel good against my skin. I'm holding back my complete assessment of the way they feel and fit until I purchase the size that's right for me.
     
To complete my January 4th OOTD (Outfit Of The Day) I styled the Pink K brand pink nylon full briefs with a Green Surplice Peplum top from JCPenney in the colour "Green Appletini".  

     
     
    The last time I checked Kmart's website I didn't see the briefs I reviewed. Here are two of the photos of me male-modeling the Pink K full briefs back on January 4, 2013:

img-male_models-Pink_K-brand-pink-nylon-panties.jpg 
     

          
















     
     What do you think of the colour, design, fabric and fit of these panties? Should I have uploaded the video to YouTube even though I had name of the brand wrong in it? I would like to buy more in the same colour (and will if I see them in-store) but in the next size larger. 
     
P.S.: A big THANK YOU for commenting on my last post to:
     
     
     
     
     
Peet of For Peet's Sake     
     
Thank you also to everyone who has commented on other prior posts of mine. I really appreciate you're having taken the time. 
     
     P.P.S.:  Have a happy September!

Off Topic - Restore The Fourth Amendment


     In the United States of America July Fourth is "Independence Day", supposedly a celebration of a greater liberty than was guaranteed under the Magna Carta. Now it seems we have even less. The guarantees of the right to Habeas Corpus and prohibitions against Ex Post Facto laws have been decimated. The Declaration of Independence states in part that we are endowed by our creator "...with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
     There was great debate over whether or not to have a Bill of Rights, with the primary argument against it being that people would claim rights were limited to those listed. That concern was addressed by including the Ninth Amendment which stated: "The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people". Thus, the right of privacy was deemed to be implied by the Fourth Amendment - a right and an Amendment that has been shredded, trampled on, ignored, and viewed with disdain by those currently holding office at all levels of government in the United States of America, the States, their counties, municipalities, the Courts, and by all levels of "law enforcement". They have all violated their oaths of office, encouraged illegal searches, eavesdropping, surveillance, and suppression of the truth about their unpatriotic, unconstitutional and illegal authoritarian actions. The words "the people" were not referring to prosecutors or town attorneys - they were referring to the every day citizens who all too often are arrested and prosecuted for exercising their inalienable rights. Compounding this outrage is the fact that the allegedly "free" press is all too often bought, censored, and silenced.
  
     THE FOURTH AMENDMENT:
  
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

  
This Fourth of July there is a movement to Restore the Fourth Amendment.

       I know the subject of this post WAY is off topic for this blog, but it bothers me to see police roadblock checkpoints where the police are invading the privacy of every single motorist and to know the government is listening in on our phone calls and monitoring our internet activities.
  
     The National Anthem asks: "Oh say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?"  Apparently not.
  
     Let's try to Restore the Fourth Amendment that our elected and appointed officials have failed to "protect, preserve and defend" in direct violation of their Oaths of Office, lying about it afterwards.
  
     They should be impeached.

Customer Lingerie Review of National Full Coverage Nylon Lace Trim Briefs


      For this lingerie outfit post I've paired a batwing sleeve Elle Lace Top in Ultramarine Green from Kohl's with a pair of lace trimmed Full Coverage Nylon Briefs from National.
    
     Quoting from Kohl's webpage: "ELLE tops are fashion forward. Lacey open-work design makes this women's top a trendy choice. Accessorize with jewelry from our ELLE collection to complete your head-turning ensemble.
Batwing sleeves offer modern style.
Smocked inset on the front ensures a flattering fit.
Soft cotton blend and full lining lend continuous comfort.
Details:
Scoopneck
Short sleeves
Body: cotton/nylon
Lining: polyester
Machine wash
Imported"
    
     I have been getting catalogs from National for many many years. They carry a variety of comfortable women's apparel at very reasonable prices.
    
      I purchased 2 three packs (6 pairs) of the Lace Trim Full Coverage Nylon Brief 1440 in "Assorted (1 Pink, 1 White, 1 Blue)"  by telephone from the National catalog at 1-800-480-4673, since my browser is having difficulty connecting to their website at http://www.shopnational.com.  The National catalog is from National Wholesale Co., Inc., 400 National Blvd., Lexington, NC, 27294. A description of these briefs from their catalog: Lace Trim Full Coverage Nylon Brief 1440 "Silky-soft smoothness and waist-high styling.Stretch lace trim. Cotton lined crotch. Machine wash, dry. Imported. All White, All Beige, or Assorted (1 Pink, 1 White, 1 Blue )"

     I also purchased some support stockings, a garter belt, and some Vanity Fair Nylon Lace Inset Briefs in Aqua from National. I was very pleased with the quality of the lingerie I've purchased from National and have found their customer service to be extremely pleasant and helpful.

The outfit I've chosen for this customer lingerie review video pairs an Elle batwing sleeve Lace Top in Ultramarine Green from Kohl's with a pair of pale pastel pink lace trimmed Full Coverage Nylon Briefs from National.
     
TRANSCRIPT: "This full  coverage nylon panty, I ordered from Shop National dot com ,  Uh, I got it in two packages of Assorted, with pink, white and blue. Uh, this a uh, a very pale pink. Um, this full coverage panty is very comfortable, and silky soft. Uh, the service is excellent, uh, the price is very reasonable, and I'll be shopping with National um, a lot more in the future. Uh, I've paired it today with an Elle scoop laced, uh, an Elle scoop neck lace top, Obviously it's got bat-wing sleeves.

Originally I had been planning a large post titled "5 Shades of Pink" and was going to include this review. I am way behind, and though I've ordered some more full briefs and blouses to male-model and review, there is now way I would have had such a large post done this month. Sorry this one is so late and short. 
     
     How do you feel about inexpensive but comfortable full-coverage "Granny Panties"? Though I like the comfort I was disappointed at how little colour they have in them. They're a very pale pastel pink. What do you think of the look and colour of these nylon full brief panties?

OOTD: Lingerie Review of Dollhouse Bettie Retro 50s High-Waist Satin Panties with Blu Sage Blouse


     In this outfit post with customer lingerie review video embedded below I'm male-modeling an opaque pair of Dollhouse Bettie Retro 50s High Waist Satin Panties in Peach, size 5. I've paired this lovely pair of retro satin pinup panties with a dressy Blu Sage Black Sequin Chiffon Top having a round neck and batwing sleeves from JCPenney.
    
    
      These are some of the slightly more high end briefs I've reviewed so far although they are still relatively inexpensive compared to some other high-end lingerie fashion brands like Agent Provocateur. They cost me $28 per pair plus tax, shipping and handling and are well worth the price from my own personal point of view. I initially ordered two pairs, but was so delighted with the feminine look, full cut and wonderful feel of these panties that I ordered and received three more pairs in peach. I find them to be delightful to look at and to wear. There are two tags inside the briefs. One tag reads: 
"100% Nylon Excl of trim  
5    
Hand wash cold    
Do not bleach   
Line dry  
No iron  
Made in U.S.A."
     
The other tag reads "Dollhouse Vintage TM"

This photo of the pretty satin bow and two gorgeous vertical lace insets that run from the waistband to top front of the left leg hole of the panty doesn't really do it justice but I never post front views of myself male-modeling panties - so here's a phot of the briefs by themselves. 
     
     
img-Dollhouse_Bettie-Vintage-50s-High_Waist-Panty.jpg 


       
The following lingerie review video of Dollhouse Bettie Retro 50s High Waist Satin Panties was a second take. The first take had poor lighting and was perhaps over-exuberant in declaring these briefs to be the "perfect panty". This second take was less wordy, shorter, and had better lighting than my first attempt at a customer video review of these high-waist briefs but unfortunately the camera was aimed too low so my head was out of the picture a lot. I also forgot to say anything about the black round neck batwing sleeve sequin top that I had paired with the high-waisted satin briefs I was reviewing in the video. 
     
     Since it's taken way too long for me to get around to making a third attempt I decided to just go ahead and upload the second take instead of trying again. I was also discouraged by an email from YouTube. Haters have been false-flagging videos I made OVER THREE YEARS AGO! It's such a shame that YouTube lets haters and trolls have such influence. If it continues maybe they should re-name it "TrollTube". 
     
      Here it is (finally) - a long promised video of my outfit of the day featuring Dollhouse Bettie and Blu Sage, or more accurately outfit of the month (OOTM instead of OOTD): 
     
      
     
     
     
 
     
     
          
      In this OOTD and customer lingerie review video I paired vintage style opaque peach pink coloured high-waist satin pinup panties from Dollhouse Bettie with a Blu Sage Black Sequin Chiffon Top from JCPenney having a round neckline and batwing sleeves. 
     
TRANSCRIPT:  
     "The lovely pair of ladies panties that I'm male-modeling and reviewing in this customer lingerie review video are Dollhouse Bettie's Retro 50s High-Waist Satin Panties. Uh, you know, It's so, I can't, It's hard to describe how wonderful they feel. The, the material is just so soft and satiny. They uh, have a traditional mushroom, mushroom-shaped gusset. Uh, the, the fit is extraordinary. Um, I wish everybody could have the wonderful sensation of wearing a pair of these panties. Uh, they're, they're wonderful. This, this customer lingerie review video is released into the public domain. Please feel free to share it everywhere. "  
     
You can see more of my customer lingerie review videos at Mister Panty Buns's Channel - YouTube. I have had to disable comments and ratings there due to false-flagging haters and comment trolls, so please comment here instead. I don't spend that much time on Twitter but at the moment you can tweet me there where I am @Panty_Buns
     
     Some panties, especially pinup panties, are now being made with the gusset being made of a different coloured fabric from the front and/or rear panel(s) of the panty. Have you window-shopped many pairs of knickers that feature the gusset as an attractive style component of the panty? Are retro style high-waisted full cut briefs a part of your lingerie wardrobe? The tailoring of these panties is considerably larger at the hips than at the waist, so while to me they felt wonderful they were still a bit on the tight side at the waist. If you have a small waist you would find these undies to be quite roomy for their stated size, but if your waist is considerably larger you may want the next size up. 
     
     What do you think of the vintage design and fit of these vintage style pinup panties and of their soft peach pink colour?
