The Quotable (Anti)Lingerista: Janis Joplin

Known for her gravely voice and moving music, Janis Joplin was the Queen of Cool and Headmistress of Hippies. Her free loving attitude definitely put her in the category of "Celebrating Her Inner Eve" even if she liked to go braless. Even us itty bitty gals need a lacy bralette for support. Back in Janis' day, going braless was as much of a statement about living free against the establishment's predefined rules as it was celebrating being a woman.

Janis is someone who defined her generation, inspired us with song and still moves us, despite her early demise. In celebration of Janis' birthday yesterday (January 19), we're celebrating her free spirit.

“Don’t compromise yourself. You are all you’ve got.” ~ Janis Joplin

I'd like to add that, "What you've got is enough," regardless of what society says or what is on the magazine covers.

Eve's Apples Online Lingerie Boutique Launch: Small Busted Women Deserve Beautiful Lingerie!

Small Busted Women Deserve Beautiful Lingerie!

Eve’s Apples announces the official launch of its online lingerie boutique (www.evesappleslingerie.com) dedicated to women with small breasts (bra sizes 28AA – 36B and 32C).

To celebrate the launch, for the month of January any purchase over $100 receives a FREE Cosabella “CUTIE” thong! (Promo Code: PNTY100LNCH -- while supplies last.)

Gayvin Powers, owner and founder of Eve’s Apples online lingerie boutique and Eve’s Apples Lingerie Blog (www.evesapples.blogspot.com), personally knows how hard it is to find a dependable bra that fits when you’re small busted.

Adult women with small breasts have different needs than young girls who are getting their first training bras. Yet, many adult women are stuck shopping in the tween department or buying bras similar to their first training bras. It goes without saying that traditionally small busted women have been exceptionally challenged when searching for a simple t-shirt bra, let alone sexy lingerie and lacy intimate apparel that make her look and feel her best, like a woman.

With a love of French lingerie, Gayvin handpicked domestic and European bras, in smaller cup sizes, that are high quality, give an exceptional fit as well as look and feel exquisite on a woman’s body. Eve’s Apples provides a variety of romantic, functional, comfortable and sexy bras for a woman’s needs. No more searching for bras in the tween department.

To accommodate women’s varying lifestyles, Eve’s Apples carries contour bras by Chantelle, push up bras by Huit, “Atlantis” the ultimate gel t-shirt bra by Panache, lacy bralettes by Eberjey, fun, flirty Blush lingerie, Cosabella’s extraordinary Talco bra (known as the “perfect yoga bra”), comfortable and sexy lingerie by Fleur’T and Keep Me, classic, sexy bras by onGossamer (adding up to a full bra cup size), petite bras by The Little Bra Company and demi cup bras by Timpa, just to name a few.

Bras are priced between $30 - $90, providing high-quality, everyday bras and sexy lingerie at affordable prices. Online, each product has additional product and brand information listed to help customers with a confident online purchase. Fun, interactive tools also aid in an easy shopping experience.

From the Eve's Apples Bra Finder (helping women find bras that suit their needs and breast type), to the Gift Finder, Videos, Wish List, Send an E-Card, Tips for Men and Advice section, shopping for small cupped bras and petite lingerie is finally an easy, fun online shopping experience. Whether a small busted or petite woman is interested in cleavage enhancing bras, adding a bra cup size, a sports bra, soft cup bras without underwire, or lacy bralettes, Eve’s Apples has a bra that suits her needs, personality and helps her look and feel her best.

To shop, or for more information about Eve’s Apples online lingerie store, visit the Eve’s Apples lingerie website at http://www.evesappleslingerie.com.

The red lace bra (above center) is the Mad Love push up bra by Blush ($42), and comes with a matching sheer, lace bikini.

Banish Visible Panty Lines

Many friends ask me what the best panties are to get rid of visible panty lines (VPL). Over the years, I've found that the best panties to keep you looking smooth under pants are Commando panties (thong and girlshort) by Herlook. The lazer cut lines create a seamless look under your clothes and the panties themselves are ultra comfortable. They're also some of my favorite panties to wear traveling.

Panty images on this page are of the Commando thong and girlshort at our online Eve's Apples lingerie boutique. For more information, go to our new online lingerie boutique at http://www.evesappleslingerie.com/.

Eve of the Month: Jennifer Garner

Congratulations to Jennifer Garner, our Eve's Apples Eve of the Month!

Since it's a new year and a new decade, we wanted an Eve of the Month who is naturally comfortable and confident in her own skin. Jennifer Garner fit the description. She's an actress who seamlessly went from staring in Alias and getting bad guys each week, to feature films and a fully loaded personal life, complete with marriage and children.

What we love about Jennifer is that she just appears so comfortable with herself, whether she's taking her daughter to the library or loosing baby weight. Unlike most actress who've succumbed to loosing baby weight at a rapidly after giving birth, Jennifer choose to eat healthy and exercise regularly, letting the weight come off gradually. When weight comes off slowly, it's a great way to ensure that the weight stays off.

I do remember reading somewhere that Jennifer likes cotton panties above all other lingerie. If you're like Jennifer, then the Keep Me bra and panty set (below) are for you. They're so comfortable that you won't want to wear anything else...ever! I have Keep Me tank tops that I wear every day under my clothes...they're that comfortable.

To find out more about Keep Me or purchase the above bra and panty set, check with our blog and twitter to find out about online lingerie boutique launch, specializing in small busted women...we're days away.

In the meantime, it's a whole new year and decade, love your bodies. "Celebrate Your Inner Eve!" My Mom used to say, "The only person that stops you is you." What's keeping you from feeling your best?
