Boutique of the Month: March ~ Original Sin


This is not just an oridinary lingerie store!

Located in the heart of downtown Danville, Original Sin lingerie boutique has a vintage and pin up feel to it. Upon first walking in, I noticed this amazing piece of, dare I say, art work: a 12 foot apple tree, evoking the Garden of Eden. The dressing rooms feature thousands of miniature pin ups lining the dressing rooms, inspiring you to feel like a silver screen siren or pin up yourself.


It's this detail and love of lingerie that Sarah Woodruff, owner, puts into all areas of the store. A friendly and welcoming place, Original Sin features:

  • Betsey Johnson
  • Undrest
  • Tra La La
  • Hanky Panky
  • Cosabella
  • and the ultra sexy Vagin Pourvoir

You'll also come across hard-to-find accessories (vintage designer scarves), bold jewelry, graphic teess and tank tops, comfortable lounguewear and flirty party dresses.

One of the many highlights at Original Sin is the ingenious Pin Up Parties. What is a "Pin Up Party?" It's "Pin Up style photo shoots for groups of gal pals." For more information and images, click on Original Sin Pin Up Parties.

If you have a chance, stop by Original Sin Undies, you'll be sure to fall in love with a bra, camisole, or vintage scarf. Best of all, just visiting the store will make you feel like your "Celebrating Your Inner Eve!"

The Rise of Man: Adam's Take on Lingerie

Eve is often blamed for the fall of Adam, mankind if you will. Why does she always take the blame for all of the world’s temptation? One possible reason for this: Lingerie. Curse or Blessing?


Men spend so much time attempting to get these sexy pieces of clothing off of our Eve’s that we hardly notice the intricate details, often spoken of with such passionate detail on Eve’s Apples Lingerie Blog. So you can guess my astonishment when a dear friend of mine mentioned the other day that his wife had come home with sexy new lingerie recommended to her by Eve’s Apples. Instead of begging his wife to remove the intimate apparel he instead asked her to keep it on!

Is this going to be a new trend? Well, if company’s such as
La Perla with their Black Label Collection (pictured above and debuting in Spring/Summer 2009) or nearly any item in the Agent Provocateur line continue to be part of our ladies intimate collections, men everywhere will be faced with a tough dilemma. It's a dilema I welcome any day!

I am Adam, I have an apple.

Tantalizing Trivia ~ onGossamer


QUESTION: onGossamer, the exquisite lingerie line, was named after a famous quote by:

A. Henry David Thoreau

B. William Shakespeare

C. Emily Dickinson

D. William Butler Yeats

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).


Also from the same collection, the Mesh Camisole (image above center) is "jazzed up with a metallic stud tiger on a white background" is $50 (on sale from $68). To purchase, click on Gigi's Closet / onGossamer.

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."

For more collections and purchasing onGossamer, click onGossamer Home Website.

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!"

Lingerie Body: Victoria Beckham

The latest Armani ad update with the Beckhams features Victoria (image below). The Daily Mail states that "David, 33, first signed a £20 million deal to become the new global ambassador of the fashion house in 2007.

His 34-year-old wife followed suit with her own £12 million three-year deal late last year, with Italian designer Giorgio Armani praising her as an 'intriguing woman'.


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 Virtues of Luxurious Lingerie

The 8 Virtues:
  1. Silky intimates on your skin all day
  2. Feeling confident and only you and/or your mate knows why
  3. Beautiful lingerie puts a swing in your step
  4. First thing in the morning, putting on sexy, romantic, glamorous or classic lingerie starts the day off right
  5. Reminds you that it may be a man's world in business, but you have a secret weapon
  6. It's the one piece of clothes that expresses how you truly feel and no one need know but you
  7. It's the perfect detail to peek through your clothing on an evening out
  8. An inexpensive way to revamp your wardrobe without breaking the bank

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."

Nordstrom Fits America


Get your girlfriends together and go to Nordstrom! From March 5 - May 2 they're having a National Bra Fitting and if you have four or more in a party, you can have a bra fitting party with your girlfriends at Nordstroms.

Why are they doing this?

Nordstrom is inviting you "to join us as we partner with 20 top lingerie brands to support Susan G. Komen for the cure, a global leader in the fight against breast cancer...

For every bra purchased during the in-store event, $2 will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Research Fund: $1 from Nordstrom and the matching $1 from participating brands, including Badgley Mishcka*, Betsey Johnson Intimates, Calvin Klein Underwear, Chantelle, DKNY, Donna Karan Intimates, Elle Macpherson Intimates, Elomi*, Fantasie, Fayreform, Felina, Freya, Huit*, Le Mystere, Natori, onGossamer*, Panache*, Simone Perele*, SPANX, and Wacoal." (* is available at selected stores.)

Nordstrom Fits America to find a store near you with the dates and times available.


I used to have gaps in my bra cups, thinking that I was a 36A. When I finally got a professional fitting, I discovered that I was instead a 32C. That's a big difference. And I can tell you it makes a bigger difference looking at me just in my bra as well as under clothes. With a 32C on, no more gaps. To see some other positive results from Nordstrom fittings, click on Evie Gets Fit and Friends & Fittings.

I highly recommend anyone who hasn't been fitted, recently lost weight, had a baby or whose body has changed more than five pounds since your last fitting, go to Nordstrom and get a proper bra fit. It makes all the difference in how you look and feel wearing the right bra size.

It's all about feeling your best and Celebrating Your Inner Eve, having a bra fitting party is one fun-filled way to do it!
