Cosmopolitan has officially declared the thong is dead and I’ll be the first to dance of its grave. Admittedly, I am one of the people happy for the end of one of the most uncomfortable garments every invented. Plus, that little piece of cloth right in the crack was never flattering for pear shaped gals. If you are thinking otherwise, let me prove otherwise:
The hottest trend in panties is no longer cheekless or crotchless but boy shorts. Admittedly, on the right body they can look uber cute:
But I don’t think pear shaped gals will look their cutest in this fashion trend either. From my experience boy short panties hit low on the hip and can actually cause use shapely gals to end up with a muffin top. My recommendation is not glamourous, but extremely comfy and flattering:
As I previously stated bikini underwear is a pear shaped gals best friend. The reason is “… the simple cut of the “string” will elongate the look of your leg, 100% cotton allows for better air circulation, the fabric will cover the junk in your trunk, and these babies will not ride up. Sure everyone needs cute lingerie as well, but for day-to-day use, the construction and affordability (3 pack $18) of Jockey cannot be beat.”

While most of us are concerned about whether or not certain outfits make us look fat, there is a new product on the market that will make you ponder whether or not your vagina is pink enough. Yes, you read that correctly, a product called “My New Pink Button” promises to restore a healthy, pink glow to one’s most intimate of areas.
Since anal bleaching can be enjoyed by both genders, I find it comforting to know that there is a product made especially for my vaginal needs. It was just yesterday when I was studying my cootch and pondering what happened to the vibrant color of my youth, not.
The worst part about this (aside from being a silly product catering to the painfully insecure or those involved in the porno industry) is that according to one blogger, it does not even work. For those harboring morbid curiosity about the product, there is no need to spread ‘em as one ballsy (for lack of a better word) gal and blogger from Iasshole.org did the necessary dirty work. Not only did the product cause burning according to the brave soul “Rinse it off I did, and did I notice a difference? I did not. I will confess to you I took before and after pictures for my own scrutiny. Well hello there my vulva. Long time, no see. Sorry about the burning sensation.”
Frankly, I have never considered the hue of my vulva, and neither have any of my gentlemen callers (including my husband). At the end of the day, the boys were just happy to be granted access to my nether-regions and be invited to visit for a while. If you are truly considering this type of cosmetic treatment, just don’t do it. Not only will you save $30, your crotch won’t burn and if you can just switch the light bulb in your lamp for the same effect.

It does not make a difference if you are pear, apply or blobbed shaped, Haiti needs your help. I recognize that money is tight for many of us, but if there is anyway you can afford to send $10 to assist the more then 3 million people affected by the devastating 7.0 earthquake, please consider doing so.
In the past I’ve used the text messaging to send money to the Red Cross so I was 100% comfortable knowing that this system works. It does not matter what cell phone carrier you use the texting system works in funneling your $10 to the proper source.

As a native New Yorker, one of the hardest parts of relocating to the West Coast was leaving behind some of my favorite things. Included in this list are my friends and family, pizza by the slice and some of the greatest discount shopping out there . The latter came courtesy of one of my regular haunts, Loehmann’s.
Although I still miss my peeps desperately, the other voids have been filled by new options and the glamour Loehmann’s near the Beverly Center and the fairly new location in Burbank. Today is a very special day for this devoted discount shopper as I was lucky enough to find out that my love affair with Loehmann’s is not one sided. The geniuses there were smart enough to select Pear Shapely as a featured site in their “blogroll” section.
Thank you Loehmann’s for helping to feed my obsession for designer fashion at affordable prices from coast to coast. Most importantly, thank you Loehmann’s for thinking that Pear Shapely is worthy enough to share with your devoted clientele.
XOXOXOXXO
