I spend six days a week in my shop and easily rack over 70 hours a week working and have for the last 5 years. During that time I talk about two things all day long: boobs and sex.

Boobs because I am a bra fitter, and sex because it's a lingerie shop and I also sell a few novelties. I'm not gonna lie, I sell a lot of vibrators. You would never know the little glass case in the backroom holds so many battery powered items. It's quite discrete and certainly female friendly, though some in this community still refer to my shop as "the sex store." That's very funny to me.

I thought this blogspot would be the perfect place to share the more interesting conversations I have throughout the day. Also because I hear the same things over and over, just from different people. It often amazes me just how much we are all alike, yet so few of us realize it.

So this will be the place that I will post freely about those things that are unquestionably important to women: boobs and sex. After all, I have the credentials.

And my customers think so too. I've had both women and men approach me in the grocery store and tell me how they love "the stuff" they bought at my shop. I love it. They will lean close to me and speak very quietly, oftentimes touching my shoulder or arm, and give a raving, sometimes explicit, review of a product. Anyone watching could mistake our intimate and short conversation as some secretive affair, that we are planning our next meeting at Motel 6. Or maybe they would think we were making a drug deal. In reality, the drug purchase had already been made at my shop.

Lingerie Ads Too Hot For Flying High Watchdog Group


A British advertising watchdog group has banned ads that featured lingerie-clad flight attendants.

The Advertising Standard Authority (ASA) ruled that Rynair, the Irish budget airline, ads linked female flight attendants with sexual behavior and should not have appeared in two British national newspapers.

Ryanair published two newspaper ads featuring two flight attendants in their underwear with the headline: "Red hot fares & crew."

ASA is the self-regulatory organization for advertisers in Great Britain. The ASA is not funded by the British Government and has no legal authority, however it is funded by taxes on the advertising industry.

The photos of the two flight attendants also appeared on the airline's annual charity calendar.
According to news reports, the ASA received 17 complaints that the ads were sexist, objectified flight attendants and were "offensive and unsuitable" for national newspapers.

The airline argued that since the women gave their consent to be in the photos, that no harm was done.

The ASA noted the images were not overtly sexual in their appearance, however the stance and gaze of the women were likely to be seen as sexually suggestive.

We have posted one of the ads, so you can judge for yourself. They don't look to racy for us and we think the ASA must be full of a bunch of old geezers. Read this quote by the ASA.

"Although we acknowledged that the women in the ads had consented to appear in the calendar, we considered that the ads were likely to cause widespread offence, when displayed in a national newspaper, and therefore concluded that they breached the [advertising] code."

We doubt that these photos or ads would even cause a slight stir here in the United States and we give the ASA a big THUMBS DOWN for their recent ruling.
