2009: Lady Gaga starts a Romance with Elle

The ever creative, always over-the-top, and never duplicated Lady Gaga shows us her best poker face in the Jan 2010 issue of Elle mag. She even made Barbara W's Best of 2009 list.

2008: Megan Fox transforms your boyfriend's fantasies

Ok, maybe she's more than a little overrated, but there's no denying this Angelina Jolie look-a-like has starlett quality. A mere fact that earned her FHM's coveted Hottest Woman in the World title in 2008.

2007: Beyonce breaks barriers and hearts for Sports Illustrated

B-Day? Talk about a B-year in 2007. Beyonce showed off her famous hippy-curviness in SI while burning down color barriers; proving to men everywhere, "the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice".

2006: Britney bares down (belly and all) for Harper's Bazaar

Oh baby, baby! Britney pulls a Demi. Nuff said.

2005: Gabrielle Union gets maximum exposure in Maxim

The former Bring it On actress talks about having bad teeth growing up and becoming a lesbian lover (on celluloid). Well Gabby, your projects kind've sucked that year but your skin never looked better.

2004: Jessica makes her curves A Public Affair in Vanity Fair


What else could we expect from the gal who brought us Chicken of the Sea and good MTV?
She saddled up her Daisy Dukes in the film version of The Dukes of Hazzard the following year.

2003: Jessica Alba takes leather & lace to the MTV awards

Yes ladies, this is how you wear your bra with that leather dress. Hott & haute couture!



















2002: Halle Berry jinxes Bond in Die Another Day


Yep, Halle steals James Bond's heart and wins the Oscar for Monster's Ball barely a year later. Excuse me, Ursula Andress who?

















2001: Gwen proves she's more than just a girl

She re-vamped the bra top look and brought us Love Angel Music Baby; and who can forget those L.A.M.B shoes?


















2000: Remember when Jenny from the Block showed us the rocks that she's got?


Unless you were living under a rock yourself that year, how could one could forget the scandalous green "lingerie-like" Versace frock she wore to the Grammy's?

Oh my! It's getting hott over at V mag! We're now only days away from getting our hands on their steamy "size" issue that features Crystal Renn and a number of full bodied beauties in barely there fashions (note: the complete issue is likely available on newsstands at the time of this post).
Well, who says curvy girls can't do it too? Personally, we love it. After all, HOTT comes in all shapes and sizes. Anyone remember Crystal baring it all in sexy swimwear for Glamour mag's May 2009 issue? Or a slightly plus sized-- and we say that loosely (she's a size 12 for goodness sake) Lizzie Miller, who's rubenesque midriff caused a media blitz back in September?

Can it be that we're all starting to become more comfortable with our own brand of beauty? Who says size 12 cannot be healthy AND sexy? It appears we're re-writing the definition of sexy. With the average woman in America, weighing in at a size 14, perhaps we're long overdue.

We stumbled on a recent post at the New York Magazine's "The Cut" blog that declared that women in London are wearing their Lingerie as clubgear. That's right, CLUBGEAR.

Clearly these modern day Lady Godivas are channeling the likes of Gaga, Madge and Rhi-Rhi, but is this taking lingerie couture a bit too far? We love our undies too, but the idea of wearing our skivvies in public without the aid of a very well paid bodyguard gives us the willies. That said, we're inclined to leave the outdoor Burlesque acts to the professionals. However, there ARE more subtle ways to put your intimates on display...

1. Wear a bustier, corset or a lace cami under a blazer or tuxedo jacket: We love this look. Just a hint of satin, lace or even leather in the right place can add softness and seductive flair to a closet classic.
   
2. Break out the hot hosiery: Yep, this really works too. Seamed, lace, or fishnet hose are meant for public consumption. Seamed works very well with pumps or ankle booties, Fishnets are fly in over-the-knee boots and lace works with everything!
3. Give 'em a hint of eye candy: A wildly sexy bra can cause a scandal under a near sheer blouse.
   

What do you think? Are we pushing the limits of what's sexy and what's plain 'ol slutty these days?

It's not often that I want to buy a dance workout DVD (I'd rather take that real dance class up the street in all honesty), but Robin Antin's new Pussycat Dolls Workout DVD looks like it may prove to be physically challenging and entertaining. Besides, all those feathers and sequins makes my dusty Jazzercise DVD look like Water Aerobics for little 'ol grannies.

Dare I resist the chance to further loosen up the "buttons" on these post-Thanksgiving jeans? Doh! I know that was corny, but I couldn't help myself.

1. Blondes DO have more fun, until a Brunette shows up.
2. A sexy accent can do wonders for your sex appeal...please do not fake one.
3. An amazing set of singing pipes will cancel out any embarrassment caused by ignoring point number 2.
4. It's all about the hair, the hair, the HAIR.
5. The Fountain of Youth does exist...on Sophia Lauren's night stand.
6. The hottness that is Daniel Day Lewis will never cease--even after There Will Be Blood.
7. Get some decent lighting in the boudoir and you TOO can look like Penelope...Kinda.
8. Dancing like a showgirl in mile high stilettos is TRULY an art.
9. And last, but most importantly...Looking like a mistress can be cute, being one is not.

Dear Hott Shopper,

I haven't worn lingerie for my mate in years.  He loves it, but I don’t want to feel silly.  Are there any tips you can give me to get us started?

Carla, New York, NY

 

Dear Carla,

Congratulations on taking the plunge again!  Wearing lingerie can be a very empowering thing, but the key to true empowerment is confidence.  If you really want to please that mate of yours, you’ll need to start from the inside out (and I’m not talking about your undie drawer).  Nothing is a bigger turn off for a man than to see his lover in an outfit that doesn’t make her happy.  A good piece of lingerie should be an extension of one’s personality, so start by building your lingerie collection in accordance with your confidence level.  Begin small with something fun and flirty, then work your way up to the more risqué.  A nice start might be a racy pair of hosiery, or perhaps a tempting new bra and panty set.  As your comfort level increases, go for a tiny little teddy or a curve creating corset.   When you really want to spice things up, a simple, but fun costume might do the trick as well.   

Lastly, don’t forget to have fun!  Lingerie can be a bridge to pleasure, whether you’re wearing it for your partner or yourself.  

 

With Love,

The Hott Shopper

Hey sexy!  Got a burning hot question for The Hott Shopper?  Email us at thehottshopper@burlesquelingeriecompany.com and we'll publish her response right here.

Well, there's certainly much to "Gossip" about these days when it comes to sexy Gossip Girl Naugty Girl in Residence Leighton Meester. Has Blair Waldorf taken over here? Not sure, but her recent GQ lingerie photo spread was pretty hott, even for us. So (might I ad), were her shoes! Very fierce Miss Thang ( Have to admit I'm a little biased though--I have a very similar pair myself)!

GPS for your panties anyone? Uh, we don't know about this one. Hey, we're all for pleasure, but do we really need Mapquest in our underwear? Look, they've all ready got my computer and your car. Do we really need them to have our asses too?
Funny, as we were reading this story, we were sort of reminded of Katherine Heigl's explosive dinner table scene from The Naked Truth. Remember ladies and gents, sometimes a little convenience can be inconvenient.
