During Eve's recent visit to Fashion Week / Las Vegas, we spoke with onGossamer and discovered that the owner was head over heals for Shakespeare at the time that he and his wife were naming their lingerie company. As a result, "onGossamer" took its inspiration from Shakespeare's quote, "Faeries flitting on gossamer wings are a common sight. Their wings of rainbow colors unfold quietly, taking flight."
ANSWER: If you answered "B" above then you are correct.
To see some of the lingerie inspired by Shakespeare's fairy wings, take a look at this post for a few images from the collection.
Calypso Garden Bra ($46) and Bikini ($24) look like your lost in a fanciful dream (image above). To purchase, click on onGossamer Calypso lingerie at Nordstrom.
For some luxurious camisoles, onGossamer's Sobe Safari Collection has the Beaded Camisole (image top center of post) in a Cheebra print mesh with built-in shelf bra. A sequined tiger on front completes the look and can be purchased at Gigi's Closet for $58 (on sale from $78).
Inspired by this line, "OnGossamer has made a contribution to the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force, to help the herd and insure adequate water supply to the wild animals."

The seed of inspiration can create great results, just look at onGossamer's lingerie inspired by Shakespeare. Now that's what I call, "Celebrating Your Inner Eve!"
In the past, Mrs Beckham has claimed she 'looks really awful naked', complaining of 'saggy skin' on her stomach following three pregnancies."
Isn't it refreshing to see that Victoria is just like an every day woman who wrestles with her body image? Did you notice how stunning she looks in these images?!
I admire how honest and humble Victoria is when talking about her feelings toward her body. She's a great example of how we, as women, can be our biggest critics. People may see beauty, and, she may see the flaws. We do that to ourselves all the time.

The 8 Virtues:One of Elle Macpherson's favorite bras, the Dentelle Bra, is featured above. Not only is the Dentelle Bra ($32.49 - $65) and matching Dentelle Bikini ($28) gorgeous in pictures, I'm also completely in love with them in person! They're very flattering on the body and made me feel ultra sexy wearing them. I even wore them during a four hour road trip. Guess what? I didn't mind. Once I put on the luxurious lingerie, my mood transformed from humming and hawing over schlepping the windy road in a cramped car to embracing a glamorous adventure up the coast to a romantic B&B. That's the magic of luxurious lingerie!
Some of my favorite lingerie is made by Elle Macpherson Intimates and the Matahari lingerie set (directly above in fuchsia and below left in ink) are just two more of them. The Impressa set (image below right in ink) is equally stunning. To purchase the Dentelle lingerie set or see further Elle Macpherson Intimates, go to Barenecessities/Elle Macpherson Intimates.
No matter what, dear Lingeristas, I wish all of you at least one luxurious lingerie set so that you will personally know what I mean when I say, "Celebrate Your Inner Eve."

(Evie's new Silver Embrace Underwire Bra by Wacoal {image above}, bought after the fitting in Nordstrom for $46 AND in her correct size!)
The first thing we did was head for the sales rack. So many beautiful brands to try on! Elle Macpherson, Chantelle, Wacoal, and more. I was in lingerie heaven. A wonderful sales-woman, Jenny, came by to see if we needed anything and proceeded to make the entire fitting process very comfortable. It's not easy for me to take off my top and go naked on the upper-half in front of strangers, let alone good friends. But she was fantastically professional. The real shocker was the sizing. I'm not a 36C. I'm a 34D! Once we figured that out, Jenny went out and found bras that I loved and had to have (though I only bought one, I'm on a budget after all). I bought a lovely Wacoal bra that is sexy and perfectly functional to wear every day. Eve said this bra made me look as though I'd lost 10 pounds, which made me feel even better about myself.
The best part of getting properly fit and trying on the right size was that I felt properly supported. With a shirt on, I could see my figure and it looked different. I felt a little sexier, a little more beautiful (and let's not discuss my husband's reaction). My inner-Eve was definitely on her way out!
(Eve's favorite bra {above image}, this lingerie trip, the Rive Gauche Demi Cup Bra by Chantelle for $76. It comes in nude, black and red. The white dotted details on the bow and straps make this understated lacy and racy bra pop)
Add ice to a shaker. Pour in all ingredients. Shake. Pour into a cocktail glass. Add lime wedge.
Enjoy!
