Je méprise Bones. C’est un homme qui se nourrit de haine. Mais il n’est pas tout à fait comme je le pensais. Peut-être que les hommes peuvent changer. Mais ce que je ressens pour lui importe peu. Mon père n’approuverait jamais. Il ne me laisserait jamais aimer un homme comme lui.
Muse told the world how she felt about me. Instead of feeling joy, I felt terror. This isn't what I want. This isn't how our relationship is supposed to be. I end things because I have no other choice. But I struggle to cope with my misery, to sleep in an empty bed without her beside me.
I know this has no future. Only heartbreak. Bosco Roth may be the man I've fallen for, but he'll never be the man I marry. He's too dangerous. Too risky. When our three months is over, I'll walk away. At least that's what I keep telling myself ...
French women seem inherently more confident in their bodies, able to embrace the sensuality of life and love. What's their secret? Lingerie. Yet, despite an insatiable curiosity for all things French, most women still find lingerie an enigma, a tangled mélange of silk and lace, and are confused about how, when, and where to wear it. (Hint: it's not just for special occasions.) Many aspire to having a drawer full of silky, lacy undergarments, but have no idea where to start: How should my bra fit? How exactly do I wear a garter belt? Do bras and knickers always have to match? With illustrations by French lingerie designer Paloma Casile, Paris Undressed: The Secrets of French Lingerie will help women feel at ease with their figures and show them how to integrate a lingerie lifestyle à la française to enhance their own femininity, confidence, and joie de vivre. It will transform the way women perceive their undergarments - and their bodies - and reveal how to co-ordinate a lingerie wardrobe to reflect personality and to meet lifestyle needs with the right dose of reverie. The book also includes a hand-selected guide to the most confidential addresses and lingerie boutiques in...
¿Qué se deduce sobre nuestra sociedad de las miles de imágenes de ropa interior moldeando cuerpos esculturales que vemos multiplicarse en vallas publicitarias y revistas? Muchas mujeres acuden a la lencería para complacer a los hombres. Sin embargo, ya desde tiempos inmemoriales las mujeres han usado la lencería, aunque escondida siempre bajo prendas exteriores. Debe tratarse por tanto de algo más que un señuelo erótico. Las autoras Muriel Barbier y Shazia Boucher han indagado en toda esta iconografía para explorar la relación entre la lencería y la sociedad, desvelando la economía y los entresijos de la intimidad. Establecen los lazos entre la lencería y la independencia, preguntándose si aquella sirve para reafirmar las nuevas libertades o simplemente responde a un cambio en los valores sociales. Este volumen de Mega Square recoge fotos de lencería que datan de los siglos XVII al XXI y, con un tamaño práctico, constituye un regalo perfecto.
I've decided to keep her. I paid for her, after all. I should feel guilty for the decision I've made, but why should I? She prefers me to her previous master anyway. And it's not like my father didn't do the same thing when he was my age. I'm rich, powerful, and untouchable. I'm a Barsetti, and I can do whatever I please.
FEATURING BRANDS -Agent Provocateur -Bordelle -Calvin Klein -Coco De Mer -La Fille d'O -La Perla -Mise En Cage -Nichole de Carle -Paul Seville -Dita Von Teese -Wonderbra -Zahia Dehar If you appreciate cinema classics one might be excused for thinking that our prehistoric ancestors rocked furry bikinis a la Raquel Welch in One Million Years B.C., but for the longest of times ladies have been looking for ways to support, suppress or accentuate the curves for a long time. From the origins of basic undergarments to the Victorian corset to the birth of the engineering feat of the underwire bra, that versatile undergarment that helps defy gravity. And it turns out we have ancient Egyptians to thank for it (no surprise there, Nefertiti). Egyptians wore a band of linen under their diaphanous robes to fl atten the bust line, while in China they were developing their own solutions - women wore single-pieced underpinnings that covered the breasts and belly but left the back, exposed. In fact, outerwear has always dictated the look and function of undergarments. Cretan women pretty much invented the corset to get a wasp-waisted look that predated Mae West's hourglass fi gure by 3,000 years....
I'm not sure how it happened. But I've fallen in love with my family's enemy. I try to move on but I can't. He's the only man I want. Now I have to choose between the man I love and my family.

What is the social merit or purpose of all those bras and panties on perfectly sculpted bodies that we see spread across billboards and magazines? Many women indulge in lingerie to please men. Yet, ever since Antiquity, women have always kept lingerie hidden away under outer garments. Thus, lingerie must be more than erotic bait. Authors Muriel Barbier and Shazia Boucher have researched iconography to explore the relationship of lingerie to society, the economy and the corridors of intimacy. They correlate lingerie with emancipation, querying whether it asserts newfound freedoms or simply adjusts to conform to changing social values. The result is a rigorous scientific rationale spiced with a zest of humour. And the tinier lingerie gets, the more scholarly attention it deserves.

Je l'ai engagée pour qu'elle redresse ma société, pour ramener Marks Lingerie à la vie. Je n'avais pas prévu qu'elle deviendrait mon amie. Je n'avais pas prévu de tomber amoureux d'elle. La règle numéro un dans les affaires, c'est de ne jamais avoir de relation avec ses employés. Je pense qu'il y en a une autre qui interdit de s'éprendre de sa meilleure amie - qui interdit d'imaginer les courbes de son corps ou la façon dont elle reprendrait son souffle si je baissais sa culotte et descendais la fermeture Eclair de mon pantalon. Mais maintenant, je n'en peux plus d'attendre. J'ai décidé de jeter les règles aux orties. Au diable l'entreprise. Au diable notre amitié. Au diable mes peurs.

Quelle utilité des dessous féminins qui s'étalent aujourd'hui tant sur les affiches que dans les magazines, enveloppant des corps de femmes parfaites ? Pour beaucoup de femmes, les dessous sont achetés pour faire plaisir à l'autre, " l'homme ". Et pourtant, depuis la haute Antiquité, les femmes apparaissent toujours vêtues, cachant ces dessous qui dissimulent leur intimité. La lingerie féminine est-elle l'expression d'une nouvelle liberté, ou bien suit-elle seulement la transformation de nos mœurs s'adaptant à chaque époque à un modernisme renouvelé ?

Covering the fun, often deliciously risqué, history of lingerie, you'll meet the first innerwear-as-outerwear model (a 5000 year old Snake Goddess in a corset!), take a peek beneath the astounding 11 pounds of underpinnings worn by our Victorian sisters, and discover the special sewing secret behind the military-inspired bullet bras of the I940s and 50s. You'll also see how, in more recent times, Madonna has manipulated the power of underwear to maximum effect. Clad in crinolines and bustiers, she channeled one pan 50s prom queen, one pan Marilyn, and just enough S&M spice to bring lingerie out in the open, helping to launch the innerwear-as-outerwear phenomenon that is such a staple of today's music and fashion. With its engaging combination of alluring images, fascinating history, and modern musings, Lingerie: a Modern Guide is your one-stop guide to the shapewear that has shaped the world.

From the crinoline to thigh highs, and from the corset to the G-string you can choose to conceal or to reveal, the important thing is to be liked and to like yourself. In this book, the history of lingerie is seen both for its elegance and from an ironic angle. Starting from the first bodices and corsets which were true instruments of constriction hidden under layers of crinolines, we come to the glittering and theatrical display of lingerie on the catwalks of the most recent fashion shows of Victoria's Secret. The century between these two extremes ushered in social changes that influenced our habits: we can see a reflection of these changes in the colourful advertising campaigns of the 20th century and enjoy comparing that retro style with today's glossy advertising. And while some past slogans may raise a smile out of amusement or nostalgia, the pictures of film stars shown "in déshabille," on or off the set, are absolutely breathtaking. Hovering precariously between modesty and provocation, lingerie remains inextricably linked with feminine evolution and reflects, better than any other garment, changes in society. ILLUSTRATIONS: 165 colour photographs
