2008924: Dita Von Teese Launches Lingerie Line (video)
Bringing her vision of vintage beauty from the burlesque stage to the boudoir, performance artist Dita Von Teese and Wonderbra have joined forces for the launch of the performer's signature line of lingerie. Her love affair with dainty underwear beginning as a young girl, a stint behind the counter of a lingerie store started the star on a path which led to a job as an undergarment buyer and professional training as a costume designer along with her career captivating audiences with her nostalgic salute to the striptease of days gone by. Now Dita has utilized her eye for elegance to create attire that can make any woman feel as provocative as a pin-up.
Available in small, medium and large, the Wonderbra by Dita Von Teese Collection offers three styles-- Spot-Teese, Multi-Teese and Satine-Teese:
Spot-Teese
Giving the illusion of a body almost in the buff, black tulle sprinkled with polka dots create a peek-a-boo effect when draped over the nude fabric of the Moulded Cleavage Bra, the Moulded Balcony Bra (which also features a crimson rose accent over a tiny black bow) and a matching brief and thong or a black lace suspender belt and thong.
Multi-Teese
Dita's design unveils a tantalizing trick of the burlesque trade as a magnetic closure on the bras and briefs allows easy exposure of your assets. Velvet trimmed straps which can conform to several dress styles provide another touch of retro romance to a bra enhanced with sequin accents. A matching thong and brief also sports the sparkle of sequins on delicate bow embellishments. Satine-Teese
A body-sculpting high-waisted shaping suspender conjures up images of a 1940's femme fatale, as does its partners in seduction-- a deep plunging vintage bra or cleavage bra (both featuring black lace detailing) and a matching brief and thong. The garments are available in oyster or a barely there peach hue.
The Wonderbra by Dita Von Teese Collection can be pruchased online at figleaves.com, asos.com, and several other luxury lingerie sites.

2008907: Christina Aguilera Introduces "Inspire" Fragrance
Like her chart-topping tunes, the notes of Christina Aguilera's latest foray into the world of fragrance strikes a chord with romantics. A harmonious marriage of florals and fruit, the mixture of mango, hydroponic freesia and citrus complex offers a subtle introduction, followed by tuberose, rose and frangipani, which are provocatively prominent when placed on your pulse points. A deep base note of valencia orange, musk and sandal wood is also detected, leaving an olfactory echo that lingers in memory.
A Warholesque whirl of pop art patterns decorates the interior of a passion red presentation box, home to a decidedly feminine flask. A silver disk cap adorned with ruby-colored stones contains the genie in this bottle-- the blushing pink-tinged juice of Inspire perfume.
Inspire fragrance is available in 30 ml, 50 ml and 100 ml, as well as in a 200 ml bottle of shower gel and a 200 ml bottle of body lotion.

Making its debut in late 2007, merchandise from The Ashley Judd Collection has become a staple in the wardrobes of women looking for cash-saving, classic designs, with its popularity prompting the launch of a new Ashley Judd Plus range of raiments in August 2008. As the brand's array of budget-friendly frocks beckons buyers to the 150 Goody's stores across the U.S., consumers know that a portion of the proceeds from their purchases offer children the hope of a better education through the Good Deeds for Good Schools program.
Traditional Tops: Ranging in price from $12 - $44, the Ashley Judd Collection showcases a bevy of blouses with a casually chic look. Delicate details, such as the peek-a-boo eyelet yoke on a cotton jersey top, the innocent appeal of an empire waist featured in both the crochet trim blouse and the babydoll top and the South of the border-influenced embroidery on the "Kathleen" top offers romantic appeal to the affordable apparel.
Underwear with Flair: You can give your bust a boost without going over budget with the Ashley Judd Micro luster Plunge Push-Up Bra. Available in sizes 34A to 36B, the white, natural, chocolate or black micro luster material offers both style and support, while a dainty flower decoration on the decolletage provides an extra feminine touch.
Versatility meets affordability in the micro luster convertible bra. This chameleon-like creation, available in white, natural and peach skin,transforms from a traditional style to fit halter, strapless or criss-cross back fashions. Light padding offers a more shapely silhouette, while an underwire supplies support.
Conforming with casual clothing, two t-shirt bras are available-- one made of micro luster, the other of breathable cotton.
Seductive yet stylish, a pair of embroidered thong panties, offered in sizes S to XL, would be a daring addition to any woman's wardrobe. Lingerie lovers can also find curve-conscious cotton and micro luster bikini and hipster panties, which color coordinate with the collection's selection of bras.
