Eve of the Month: Kelly Ripa
Congratulations to our Eve of the Month, Kelly Ripa!
Long known for her wit on Live with Regis & Kelly, and now known for her "32AA longs" we applaud Kelly for her candor, acceptance and humor regarding her breast size. Here's to Kelly being a role model for other women and celebrities, proving that being natural is beautiful.
To honor Kelly, we've included some video highlights below, featuring her talking about her small cup size. In one of the videos, Kelly comments that she thinks that Victoria's Secret is the only company who carries her bra size (32AA) without her having to shop in the children's section.
Fortunately, our Eve's Apples Lingerie Boutique (http://www.evesappleslingerie.com/), launching this holiday season, will be carrying fashionable, high quality, comfortable bras for women in 32AA and smaller (28 - 30 AA bras). Of course, we'll also be carrying bras up to size 36B and 32C.
In the meantime, Kelly is an inspiration for small busted women who love to "Celebrate Their Inner Eves."

Celebrate Your Inner Eve
As Eve's Apples is coming up on two wonderful years of blogging and "Celebrating Our Inner Eves" readers often send messages asking what exactly it is to "Celebrate Your Inner Eve."
Dear readers, based upon who you are, your background and your beliefs, "Celebrating Your Inner Eve" could mean a variety of things.
To Eve's Apples, celebrating your inner Eve is "to embrace all aspects of yourself, the sweet, the smart, the sassy, the savvy, the seductive with confidence." As women we wear many hats, flipping in and out of roles as wives, girlfriends, mothers, sisters, daughters, leaders, teachers, lovers, bosses, healers, professionals, saints and seductresses. We are all of it, and we are none of it.
We are what we think we are. We are what we project. We are defined by our actions, but, nonetheless, we are not our actions. Confused yet? Welcome to being a woman. Many of us struggle from what society, our family, our friends, our profession deem that we "should" be. What is important is that a woman knows who she is.
Celebrating Your Inner Eve is a right of passage between a being girl and a woman. A woman knows she is a sensual, intelligent, beautiful creature, capable of infinite possibilities, changing roles, all equally glorious and essential in living. "Girls" reach for a superficial perfection of womanhood that is a state of temporary beauty, fading with time, not the beauty within.
How stunning is it to watch a woman like Isabella Rossellini? She is 57 years old, yet to watch her is to watch the embodiment of womanhood and grace in movement. I agree with Choklit (from her blog "Musings from a Lover about Beautiful Things") that Isabella is fearless. In life. In love. In living.
Celebrating is a state of mind. A confidence of self, accepting all aspects that make us whole. To watch Isabella Rossellini on screen, you notice that she doesn't care about her wrinkles or her weight; she exudes a confidence that mesmerizes and seduces everyone in the room. Soon her wrinkles become brush strokes on a painting and her curves are the Venus de Milo. Once you accept all aspects of yourself, you will confidently radiate the gorgeous grace and beauty that lies within.
In other words, my dear, Lingeristas, here's to you Celebrating Your Inner Eve!

Cosabella "Angel of Hope" Bra Auctioned
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we're bringing you artistically decorated bras to raise money for a cure. The Cosabella "Angel of Hope" Bra was auctioned (among others, pictured below) Sunday, October 4th, 2009 at the 2nd Annual Bra-Ha-Ha.
Sponsors such as Max Media, Dillard’s, Barnes and Noble and California Pizza Kitchen joined in the efforts. The exhibit kicked off with an opening night gala Sunday, Oct. 4 in Norfolk’s MacArthur Center’s Center Court. Dozens of artists and craftswoman - and one man - from throughout the East Coast donated decorated and themed 145 bras to be exhibited and auctioned off during the grand opening of Chesapeake Regionals Breast Center Oct. 23.
"What is Bra-ha-ha? Bra-ha-ha is meant to promote women’s health and increase awareness of breast cancer. Proceeds will benefit the Chesapeake Regional Breast Center. Participants created artworks based on their thoughts and feelings about breast cancer, but these artists don’t paint on canvas, they decorate 36C under-wire bras.
The results are poignant and humorous, heart warming and thought provoking. Bra-ha-ha commemorates battles won and lost, honors the heroism of friends and family, and serves as a reminder of the importance of mammograms, self-checks and early detection.
Last year’s inaugural event featured 145 decorated bras from artists throughout Hampton Roads. Entries were serious, whimsical, tongue-in-check, sentimental or downright funny. Because of the exhibit’s overwhelming success, organizers at Chesapeake Regional decided to move this year’s exhibit to a larger venue and schedule two weeks for the public to view the creations (October 5th - 17th).

Anything that helps bring awareness and resources to fight this deadly disease is truly appreciated."

The Quotable Lingerista: Kate Moss
Kate Moss, Eve's Apples Quotable Lingerista for October says women should always dress for their body shape: "If you have great legs, show them off with a short dress and heels or skinny jeans...If you've got a large bust, avoid high necklines. I don't think of things as outfits, I throw together what I feel is right for the night...I follow my feelings and just get dressed. I go with a feeling or emotion and don't necessarily plan, unless perhaps, it's a special occasion."
That is great advice from Kate! Always wear whatever makes you feel comfortable, sexy and confident, that is what Celebrating Your Inner Eve is all about!
