Jennifer Metcalfe

Jennifer Metcalfe, one of the stars of the popular British teen soap ‘Hollyoaks,’ and Jermaine Pennant, the British footballer, are back together again after splitting up last summer. It seems Jermaine has broken off his engagement with model Amii Grove saying he just ‘couldn’t give her what she wanted’. Well, that’s probably a good reason to break up!

Jennifer and Jermaine were seen together on Valentine’s Day holding hands, canoodling, and going into the Funky Buddha nightclub in London. Jennifer was dressed in a very tiny all-black dress with well-over-the-thigh-high boots. Jermaine dressed in a grey shirt, jeans and a pair of military-style boots. You can go here to see photos of how nice they looked together as well as a very sexy pic of Jermaine’s ex, Amii Grove.

Jennifer Metcalfe Biography
Jennifer Metcalfe was born on September 16, 1983 in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England so her age is 25. She is a gorgeous actress and model and is best known for playing the maneater ‘Mercedes McQueen’ in the popular British teen soap ‘Hollyoaks’. She is also the girlfriend of Jermaine Pennant the Liverpool Footballer who is currently on loan to Portsmouth.

Jennifer has been acting since she was 12 years old and attended the Scala Kids drama school in her hometown of West Yorkshire. She has a degree in Health and Fitness though she believes acting is what she wants to do for a career.

Before landing her role in ‘Hollyoaks’ – for which she has been nominated for multiple British Soap Awards – she appeared in several British TV shows including the comedy ‘My Parents Are Aliens’ and dramas ‘Where The Heart Is’ and ‘At Home With The Braithwaites.’ She also played a role in the British soap ‘Emmerdale.’

Jennifer Metcalfe is dating Jermaine Pennant. The couple first got together in November 2007 and split up several times before breaking up last summer. Following their breakup, Jennifer shocked fans by losing a lot of weight, but has recently bounced back to a healthier frame after admitting she had become too thin.

Jennifer now feels confident with her body, saying she is not too thin or too big. The only part of her body she hates is her bum, which she describes as ‘having a life of it’s own’.

Halle Berry

Date of Birth
14 August 1966, Cleveland, Ohio, USA

Birth Name
Halle Maria Berry

Height
5' 6" (1.68 m)

Mini Biography
Halle Berry was born on August 14, 1966 in Cleveland, Ohio, USA to African American father Jerome Berry, a former hospital attendant, and Caucasian mother Judith Berry, a retired psychiatric nurse. Halle also has an older sister named Heidi Berry. Halle first came into the spotlight at 17 years old when she won the Miss Teen All-American Pageant, representing the state of Ohio in 1985 and, a year later in 1986, when she was the first runner-up in the Miss USA Pageant. After participating in the pageant, Halle became a model. It eventually led to her first weekly TV series, 1989's "Living Dolls" (1989), where she soon gained a reputation for her on-set tenacity, preferring to "live" her roles and remaining in character even when the cameras stopped rolling. It paid off though when she reportedly refused to bathe for several days before starting work on her role as a crack addict in Spike Lee's Jungle Fever (1991) because the role provided her big screen breakthrough. The following year, she was cast as Eddie Murphy's love interest in Boomerang (1992), one of the few times that Murphy was evenly matched on screen. In 1994, Berry gained a youthful following for her performance as sexy secretary "Sharon Stone" in The Flintstones (1994). She next had a highly publicized costarring role with Jessica Lange in the adoption drama Losing Isaiah (1995). Though the movie received mixed reviews, Berry didn't let that slow her down, and continued down her path to super-stardom. In 1998, she received critical success when she starred as a street smart young woman who takes up with a struggling politician in Warren Beatty's Bulworth (1998). The following year, she won even greater acclaim for her role as actress Dorothy Dandridge in made-for-cable's Introducing Dorothy Dandridge (1999) (TV), for which she won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a TV Movie/Mini-Series. In 2000, she received box office success in X-Men (2000) in which she played "Storm", a mutant who has the ability to control the weather.

Trivia
She was placed on three years probation and ordered to pay $13,500 in fines and penalties after pleading no contest on May 10, 2000 to a misdemeanor charge of leaving the scene of a traffic accident. The judge also ordered the actress to perform 200 hours of community service and to make restitution as determined by the outcome of civil litigation arising from the February accident when she was driving a rented Chevrolet Blazer and ran a red light and crashed into another car on Sunset Boulevard. She left the scene of the accident before authorities arrived, suffered a gash to her head that required 20 stitches to close, and the woman (Hetal Raythatha) driving the other vehicle broke her wrist. Halle reported the accident to a police officer at the hospital where she sought treatment.

Personal Quotes
On Dorothy Dandridge: "...You have to find a way to be sad on every day, in every scene, in every moment. And always try to hide the sadness. And (then) you'll get the essence of who she was."

"This moment is so much bigger than me, This moment is for Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, Diahann Carroll... It's for the women that stand beside me, Jada Pinkett Smith, Angela Bassett, Vivica A. Fox... and it's for every nameless, faceless woman of color that now has a chance, because the door tonight has been opened." - During her Oscar acceptance speech.

On choosing both serious and popcorn-movie roles: "There's art and there's commerce. You have to find a way to mesh the two. It's important to do the little movies just for the love of the art. But it's those big movies that take you around the world and make you globally famous."

I'll never get married again, and I always hate to say never to anything, but I will never marry again.

I was black growing up in an all-white neighborhood, so I felt like I just didn't fit in. Like I wasn't as good as everybody else, or as smart, or whatever.

Blackness is a state of mind and I identify with the black community. Mainly, because I realized, early on, when I walk into a room, people see a black woman, they don't see a white women. So out of that reason alone, I identify more with the black community.

I spent a lot of time with a crown on my head.

The worst thing a man can ever do is kiss me on the first date.

I don't see a white woman. I see a black woman, even though my mother is white [her father Jerome is black]. Knowing that has made my life easier, I think.

I want to be the next Spike Lee. I want to help other black folks to get into Hollywood and be successful in Hollywood.

What is my real purpose here? I've looked at what I do. I make believe and make movies. I entertain people and get paid for it. Sometimes it seems like such a shallow existence. How insignificant in the scheme of life.

"When I was a kid, my mother told me that if you could not be a good loser, then there's no way you could be a good winner. And I hope to God I never see these people again." - on accepting her Razzie Award for Worst Actress

I never wanted to be a model. My modeling career was nothing but a stepping stone to my acting career and that's all I ever saw it as. A pointless rock in the river that has to be stepped on in order to get to the meaningful oasis of acting.

I guess you could say I have bad taste in men. But I no longer feel the need to be someone's wife.

(On receiving a film festival award while pregnant) I am three times the girl I used to be. This is the second red carpet where I didn't have to think about sucking in my stomach - because I can't!

You think you know what love is - until you have a child and discover that unconditional mother love.

I once was stupid enough to say, in a previous relationship, 'I'm going to be with this person forever,' and realised, as I grew, that I don't know if forever is possible.

Susan Coffey

Legend tells of a legendary model, whose beauty was the stuff of LEGENDS. Her name? Susan E. Coffey. She was born in the Chinese year of the Horse, February 13, 1990. Historical records provide scant information, but it’s believed she was born in the borough of Metuchen, New Jersey, still her current place of residence.

Though few written records exist of her early childhood, oral traditions passed down through the years indicate that Susan's extraordinary, superhuman beauty manifested itself almost from birth. Kings and Queens descended upon the sleepy Metuchen bearing gifts and prophesying in her presence about her future influence over all mankind. As a young girl, nary a man, woman, or child passed her by without being cured of having a bad day.

As she grew into early adulthood and while attending high school (presumably at Metuchen High), she began to understand better her precious gift and how she was destined to use it for the betterment of our race. Through the support and influence of those around her (some say through their worship) she adopted the mission of presenting her corporeal existance to the world for the purpose of fostering peace among nations, deepening our understanding of artistic expression, and producing many boners (even woman-boners).

Thus was born the career of the ultimate model. Since that time she has given her spirit to the cameras of such photographers as Sito Alvina, Insuh Yoon, Brandon Herman, and many others. She has also modeled for several retailers, including Between the Sheets Lingerie, Dirty Addiction, and Heretic City.

Miss Coffey currently attends Rutgers University. The word is, she's a Comm major and Psych minor, and is set to graduate in 2012. Rumor has it that she also worked part-time at Victoria's Secret, which seems quite fitting. People didn't really realize how sexy Victoria's Secret could be until Susan showed up there.

Quick facts:
She plays the piano.
Her favorite movie is Groundhog Day (though at one time she was partial to John Tucker Must Die).
Her belly button is pierced.
Her ears appear to be double-pierced.
Looks rad all the time, but especially in lingerie.

Candice Swanepoel

Born: 20 October 1988
Birthplace: Mooi River, Kwazulu Natal, South Africa
Best Known As: Wide-eyed blonde model for Victoria's Secret
Candice Swanepoel has wide-set pale blue eyes and plump lips and is best known for her work as a Victoria's Secret "angel." Candice Swanepoel grew up on a dairy farm and was 15 when she was spotted by model scout Kevin Ellise at a flea market in Durban, South Africa. Within a year she had appeared in Italian Vogue and was walking catwalks for major designers. Swanepoel has since appeared on the covers of international editions of Elle, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire and many other magazines. In 2007 she first appeared in the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on American TV, and she quickly became a regular and popular face of the brand. She appeared in the 2008-10 editions of the show as well.

Candice Swanepoel is 5'9.5" tall, according to CBS... Swanepoel's measurements are 33-23-34.5" (84-59-88cm), according to the Fashion Model Directory... Her older brother, Steven, is a golfer who has played for Columbus State (Ga.) University.


Introduction
The story of this uber waif of a runway model is not totally known. But she is on the verge of becoming the next household name among the Victoria's Secret models. You should know that her last name is pronounced SWAN-a-pole (as opposed to swain-pool). You should also know that she is barely legal, and that the world of high fashion and modeling is surely holding her to its loving, nurturing bosom.


Life Story
Model scout Kevin Ellis spotted Candice shopping at a flea market in Durban South Africa when she was only 15. Now, she’s doing tons of shows and print, and is being touted as the South African Kate Moss. She supposedly hit the runway at the nubile age of 16. In 2007 Candice became the first South African model to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. She appeared in the 2008 and 2009 shows too, as well as numerous catalogs and TV commercials for Victoria's Secret. She earns around $6,000 a day to be beautiful. No reports on whether she wants to use some of this pile of cash to throw up a website so lonely men with sore genetalia all around the globe can find out how much she likes horseback riding and reading.

At the 2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Candice became one of the Victoria's Secret Angels, joining the likes of Heidi Klum, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Miranda Kerr in that exclusive club.


What indication director Kevin Ellise was we do in a Durban, South African flea market, we’ll never know. But appreciate integrity he was there because, otherwise, we might have never had the wish of ogling a hardly clad Candice Swanepoel, whom he detected there when she was only 15. Ellise had this to contend about the initial time he laid eyes upon Swanepoel: “It was like… honestly, similar to a pleasing flamingo upon foot past my shop. The approach she walked past only did it for me.” Clearly it did it for the displaying agencies too; Swanepoel was autocratic 5,000 Euros for a day’s work by the time she was 16.
candice swanepoel ascends the displaying ranks at diverge speed
Candice Swanepoel’s climb to stardom is the things angel tales have been done of. As a immature lady flourishing up in the remote South African tillage encampment Mooi River, Swanepoel’s indication aspirations were literally oceans away. Once she was discovered, Candice met with the conduct of a internal displaying group who snapped a little Polaroids and sent them out to Select, a London group which represents tip bent similar to Sienna Miller and Helena Christensen. Within twenty-five mins of reception the Polaroids, Select requested Candice’s participation in London immediately. After a flurry of castings in London and New York, Swanepoel was only a year in to her career when she began strutting down the world’s many disdainful catwalks whilst looming in Italian Vogue print campaigns for Fornarina and Top Shop.
candice swanepoel becomes a victoria’s tip angel
Having appeared upon the covers of Greece Vogue and Elle Germany, as good as runway shows for Dolce & Gabbana, Betsey Johnson, Tommy Hilfiger, and Diane Von Furstenberg, Swanepoel’s career has been a success by any standards. But in 2007, she assimilated the ranks of supermodels Miranda Kerr and Alessandra Ambrosio when Victoria’s Secret bestowed upon her a pretension which transcends the required ideas of beauty: Candice Swanepoel became a Victoria’s Secret Angel, and will perpetually be loved by you, us and everybody we know.

Personal Quotes
"I'm young right now; I have a lot of time in the future to de-glam myself. Now I want to do roles of my age which are glamorous; because I have that image - I'm a glamorous woman. I wanted to be called a good and a good-looking actress."

About her cameo in Silsiilay (2005): "In Sisilay I have a special appearance; it was a strange experience because I can never imagine being a woman like the one I've portrayed. I'm in love with a married man, much older to me and who has a son her own age. It's a complex character, and I loved it."

When asked which character she would like to play in a remake: "I would like to play Meena Kumari's role in Pakeezah, Waheeda Rehmanji's role from `Chaudavi Ka Chand' and Rekha's role in `Umrao Jaan'." (erosentertainment.com interview, 2005)

"I think Fardeen and I have a special chemistry on-screen, I don't deny that. At the same time I think Hrithik and I will be great together. Our physical features will work well to create that chemistry - especially the combination of our height, the light eyes; together we'll have a good screen presence." (erosentertainment.com interview, 2005)

On turning down the lead in Julie (2004): "I turned down Julie because I didn't agree with the reasoning of the protagonist in the story, who resorts to prostitution because her man ditches her. I didn't see why any educated girl would take such a drastic step. I take up roles that I mentally agree with, and this was not such a role." (Stardust, April 2005)

"When I intend to settle down, I'm just gonna tell my parents to find someone for me. I have lost faith in myself to make the right decision as far as a man is concerned. Sean (her ex-boyfriend) was a big lapse in judgment."

"It's scary, if you think of it. You read these stories all the time in the magazines, how someone got duped in a relationship. You think, this could never happen to me, except, it does. Until you're a part of that statistic, you never believe that this could be you."

"I rate myself 8 as an actor...but everybody doesn't share the same viewpoint."

Lingerie

THE HISTORY OF THE BIKINI


With summer fast approaching, Plums Lingerie looks to its summer collection with an homage to a pioneering piece of beach fashion, the bikini.

Although the bikini arrived in 1946, courtesy of two French fashion designers in the French Riviera, and was still banned as recently as the 1951 Miss World Contest, it was not until the 1960s that the bikini became de rigueur on the worlds beaches . The 1960 song ‘Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini’ and Ursula Andress’ iconic performance as Honey Ryder in the 1962 Bond film, ‘Dr. No’, helped to catapult the two piece swimsuit to iconic status.

In recent generations, we enjoy a more relaxed approach to social convention (a century previous may have seen angry mob-like reactions to exposed flesh) and combined with today’s shape enhancing materials means that bikinis are light-weight, comfortable and an essential item for the beach and poolside.

Pre-1946 – Before the fashion industry
The history of the bikini is not as brief as the garment itself. This story doesn’t begin in the 20th century. Minoan wall paintings and ancient Greek and Roman artefacts suggest that the bikini goes as far back as 1600BC.

We can look to the women of the 19th and early 20th centuries to understand the bikini’s modern history. Beachwear was back on the social agenda as the seaside became part of people’s lifestyle.

Surprisingly, nudity was the preferred ‘swimsuit’ of 19th century women, with neither modesty nor icy waters able to provoke their inhibitions. However, contemporary society of the time demanded propriety, and clothes were put back on. Beachwear fashion became highly conservative, and seasiders began wearing impractical outfits, oftentimes covering the wearer from head to toe in wool or flannel.

By WWI, woollen ‘tank-suits’ were being worn, that hugged the body and enhanced women’s natural curves. A shift towards practicality, style and freedom had arrived; across Europe the younger generation started to bare more despite the opposition they encountered.

As WWII approached, the femme fatales of Hollywood became style icons, and fashion became sleeker - beachwear gradually exposed the female form; arms, legs and, in particular, backs.

Post-WWII – The bikini arrives
Few could have predicted what was to come in 1946 when the bikini, as we know it, made its grand and shocking entrance onto Europe’s beachwear scene.

Attempting to capture the spirit of a liberated and optimistic post-war society , Jacques Heim presented what he boasted to be “the world’s smallest bathing suit” during the early summer of 1946. Naming it ‘the Atome’ – a reference to the atom, the world’s smallest known particle, he clearly laid out his intentions for his creation. Less than three weeks later, however, French engineer Louis Reard followed with what he called ‘the Bikini’; fiendishly marketed as “smaller than the smallest bathing suit in the world”.

Reard emerged victorious, boasting a costume that comprised just 129 square inches of cotton, which could, he emphasised, be pulled through a wedding ring. His business initially soared as French women embraced its mischievous nature.

Despite this, the bikini struggled to make an immediate impact on the world’s beaches. Society was at odds with the garment. Bans were enforced across Europe, influential commentators persecuted those who attempted to pursue the fashion, and even Hollywood bowed to the conservative judgement of ethical watchdogs.

Though people, particularly the press, were captured initially by the garment’s sheer provocative nature, most were not ready for such an explicit display of the female body. Stars like Bridget Bardot and Marilyn Monroe, who used the bikini as a career prop, kept the bikini in the spotlight. For some time it remained the property of European women in the vanguard of fifties fashion - women in the upper-classes less prone to public scrutiny.

The 1960s and enduring progression
The swinging sixties marked the turning point for the contestable two-piece. The bikini hit the mainstream as a sexually liberated and outspoken youth ‘let it all hang out’. Most importantly, the bikini broke America.

The media played its part, Hollywood in particular, where a spree of beach-themed films emerged throughout the early sixties. The 1962 film Dr No, in which Honey Ryder (actress Ursula Andress) casually strode out from the water in a white bikini, was one of a flurry of films which served to cement the bikini’s position in popular culture. The scene has since been declared a defining moment in cinematic history.

The free-loving tide of the sixties proved too strong to quell. By 1967 over 65% of “the young set” had switched to the bikini, and their mothers were rapidly following suit. Few could play it down, a “less is more” attitude prevailed - the bikini had arrived and it was here to stay.

This Season
Today a plethora of bikini styles are available; the string bikini, the tankini, the halter bikini, and the infamous thong bikini. Spin-off products and services, like the bikini-wax and diet planning, created a style culture that took beach-fashion to the next level. Women now soak up the summer sun wearing the latest styles, tailored using the latest developments, and feel confident about the way they look.

Swimwear styles have come and gone but the bikini has endured. Its simplicity, ease and flattering glamour make it a must-have wardrobe item for summer. With designs, technology and materials available to suit any figure, the bikini is your little black dress this summer.



The History of Sexy Lingerie - Staying Abreast of the Silhouette Ah, the female silhouette. It can really vary, can't it? And it really has - over the ages. What's been acceptable to society has changed from one extreme to the other - and back again. But the silhouette has been governed by what's draped over it. And throughout history, it's been adorned in many different ways, with different areas accentuated along the way. Women have worn everything from a heavy whalebone contraption with laces and pulleys, all the way to the light silky sexy lingerie of today. To try to make some sense of the transformation of the silhouette over the years, let's look at the history of sexy lingerie - why it changed, and how it changed.

The first "lingerie"? When we think of sexy lingerie, we think of light, thin material, usually see-through, draped adoringly over the female body, covering just enough to titillate the impressionable male. But well before Christ, on the island of Crete, in the Mediterranean Sea, women were very bold. Their idea of lingerie was a boned bodice corset, designed not for support, but to tease men, by pushing their breasts up and out, literally exposing them in their entire splendor. Although they achieved the "sexy" part, the "lingerie" part was nothing like what we think of as lingerie today.

Throughout time, as each vision of the silhouette emerged, clothing was created to fit and accentuate this shape. There were, of course, two main elements in a silhouette - the bust and the butt. Some societies wanted the bust to be prominent, while some felt that the butt should be the "point of interest". One thing that's never changed is that we're at the mercy of the fashion gurus - whatever they say is in, that's what we wear.

The silhouette goes from profound to padded Society in the Middle Ages felt that the silhouette should be restrained, especially the breasts, which they thought should be firm and small. In those days, women wore many styles of corsets over their dresses, all with the similar purpose of flattening their breasts. And in case some men didn't notice this flattering flattening, some women actually attached small bells around their neckline - the jingling bringing attention to the jiggling v.

During the Renaissance, the Spanish fashion experts saw the silhouette as padded - in all the right places. They wanted to see women with cone-shaped breasts, flat stomachs and narrow waists. And women went to great lengths to achieve this look - more than reasonable lengths, as we see it today. They actually had to have other people dress them because the cinching up of their corsets was done up their backs and required a lot of strength. In fact, they were trussed and bound tighter than a Thanksgiving turkey.

This unnatural shaping of the silhouette was met with disapproval by proponents of good health. Doctors complained that these corsets compressed women's bodies so tightly, their internal organs were being squeezed, and their ribs were being pushed out of shape. It was quite common for women to swoon and faint - usually attributed to the females' delicate nature. Actually, it was because they just couldn't breathe! There was one report of a woman who actually died when her ribs were cinched so tightly that they pierced her liver. Wow - the cost of looking sexy!

By the 18th century, life was becoming lighter, and clothing trends followed. Although the whalebone structure of the corset still kept women tightly silhouetted, there was a definite movement to incorporate the artistry that marked the era. Corsets were decorated with beautiful embroidery, ribbons and laces. And that wasn't the only thing that drew male attention - they also pushed the breasts up, threatening to jump right out.

Later in the 18th century, people started rebelling against many things and corsets were no exception. Again, doctors spoke out about the dangers of these body presses. And this time they were heard - enough to actually have boned corsets outlawed.

The softer silhouette is highlighted By the early 1800s, the silhouette was still enhanced, calling for the support that the old corset had given. So the corset returned, but with more elaborate methods of construction. Boning was still used, but in smaller sections, allowing for more movement. And since the fashion of the day was for a more separated look for breasts, a corset-maker named Leroy came up with a model he called a "divorce". (Perhaps it was named that because by the time the husband got it undone, he'd lost interest! And separation does precede divorce, doesn't it?) But seriously folks, this problem of lacing and unlacing was met by corset designers - they developed systems that allowed women to undress themselves.

During the 1840s, with the much-exaggerated silhouette for women, whalebone came back into use, but this time with huge hoops and crinolines, covered with all kinds of fabric and trim. In those days, a man knew he'd found a fashionable woman if he could put his hands around her waist. And because women were still trying to attract men, they cinched themselves up even tighter.

The hoop-and-crinoline look was soon replaced by the soft-S silhouette, still using the corset, but adding the bustle to the back. Now they'd created an exaggerated bottom. This was fine, except women had to stand a lot because most of their butts were covered by the cumbersome bustle. Of course, the men liked this because it gave them more opportunities to view those sexy bustles.

As fashion design became more innovative, more varieties of corsets were created. Now you could get a lightly-boned corset for the morning, a boneless corset for the beach, an elastic corset for horseback riding, and a jersey corset for bicycle riding. With all the activities women participated in, think of how many corsets they would need!

The corset is extended - then expended By the end of the 19th century, the corset had become a supporter not only of breasts, but of the newly-created stockings. Stockings were held up by garters and suspenders attached to the corset - a very complex system of rigging.

By the beginning of the 20th century, corsets were being laced down as far as the knee. But many people didn't like that style, and fashion designers were leaning towards an uncorseted, more free-flowing style. Sexy lingerie was about to take a whole new turn. With the advent of the industrial revolution, and the invention of the sewing machine, Germany and France opened the first corset factories.

In 1913, Mary Phelps Jacob created a new type of bra. It was much softer and much shorter than a corset. And it allowed the breasts to be shaped in their natural state. When too many people started asking Mary for her design, she thought she'd better get it protected. So she applied for a patent. She eventually sold this patent to Warner Company.

After World War I, women began to enter the workforce and corsets were definitely not appropriate for wear in factories. They needed shorter skirts made of cooler and lighter fabric that was easy to care for. The other factor was that the war had taken its toll on their supply of men, which meant more competition in landing a man - they needed to look their sexiest!

Then came the Roaring Twenties, with it's elaborate parties. Fashion changed dramatically - the boyish silhouette was in. The quest for flat chests and stomachs, and straight hips and buttocks, led the fashion industry to create the liberty bodice, the chemise, and bloomers - loose-fitting and light. And a long-overdue substitute for plain old white appeared - pastel colored lingerie. The first brassieres were designed to flatten the breasts, adding to the total boyish look. The corset was no longer needed - except the bottom part that held up the stockings. So the corset was shortened right down to a belt - the suspender belt.

The 30s brought back the full-figured silhouette The 30s brought with them a complete turnaround in the shape of the desired silhouette. The woman's feminine side once again became the priority. Women were encouraged to look well-proportioned, full-figured, but still reasonably slim in the hips. Now women had a full set of lingerie to outfit themselves - a breast-enhancing brassiere, an elastic suspender belt, and the girdle, that kept all the curves in the right places.

One of the biggest advancements in the lingerie industry came in the 1930s, when Dunlop Rubber invented Lastex. Lastex was an elastic fiber that could be interwoven with the fabric used to make lingerie fashions. Now the industry could make lingerie in various sizes, to properly fit a woman's shape.

But then came World War II, and with it, its shortages. Germany couldn't import the fabrics they'd been using and their industry dried up. People started making home-knitted underwear out of anything they could find. Not very sexy, to say the least. But they were warm.

After the war, lingerie consisted of the basic bras and suspender belts. This was the norm for most women. But the teenage girl, emerging from the oppression of the war, and looking for excitement, became a target market. These teenagers were anxious to grow up, and wearing lingerie was a big step towards getting there. So the lingerie industry started to create lingerie sets that would attract the attention of these young girls. And the German lingerie industry exploded.

Over in America, the lingerie industry was making its own mark. Everyone was trying to create something new and different. The market was flooded with all kinds of innovations to help women look sexy. For example, Howard Hughes created a new bra - a special wire-reinforced design for Jane Russell. (Was that the one that got her the Oscar for "Best Support"?)

The silhouette suffers as bras are burned As the 60s brought a wave of women's emancipation movements, feminists burned their bras. It's ironic that they had lots of support for this movement, because now that they'd burned their bras, their support was gone. And, later in life, they'd find that their support sagged.

This movement gave the lingerie industry a heavy hit. Many manufacturers were forced out of business. But on the positive side, Lycra had just been invented, and women's legs began to be adorned in tights or, even better for the men, the sexy little mini-skirt. And with the mini-skirt came a demand for bikini briefs.

By the 1980s, wire-reinforced bras had become the number-one seller. For those who need that added support, these are still very popular today. Probably the biggest seller now is the push-up bra.

Today's silhouette varies in shape - but always looks good in sexy lingerie Think of how far lingerie has come - from the push-up corsets of ancient Greece, to the push-up bra of today. The history of sexy lingerie proves one fact - some things never change. Obviously, the purpose hasn't changed - women still want to look sexy. The only thing that has changed is the method.

We now have a society that allows much more freedom than in the past. We have lighter, lacier, sexier fabric. We have more liberal ideas of how much can be bared. And of course, the men are all for it. So the goal of the lingerie industry remains the same - to create an image of a woman who's desirable and sexy. And if you look at all the sexy lingerie websites, you'll see that the industry is achieving its goal. Right guys?

Shazahn Padamsee

Shazahn Padamsee 20-year-old daughter of Alyque Padamsee and Sharon Prabhakar, The daughter of two famous and creative personalities, Shazahn Padamsee is now becoming a familiar face on the party circuit. She made her stage debut along side her father in a play called ‘Unspoken Dialogues’.

“It happened quite unexpectedly. My dad who is playing King Duncan in Macbeth asked me to read his lines. I had never read Shakespeare before and when my dad heard me he said I was very good. He was very surprised that it came very naturally to me.”
The camera shy Shahzahn is also gearing up to face it. “I want to be fully prepared. Channel [v] had asked me to audition for their VJ hunt, but I didn’t go. I was not very confident about being in front of a camera then. I had to get over that. Now I am getting my portfolio done and then try to get into modelling.”


Shazahn Padamsee’s acting background includes her subtle performance in play ‘Unspoken Dialogues’ which turned out to be very successful. Besides helping her parents with the production of the plays, Shazahn was chosen by FHM India to be a FHM girl and shot a hot photo shoot. The girl has also had a stint with the ramp.

I like going out with my close friends, just to chill out. My party magnet would be good company and great music.”

Currently Shazahn is working with Bugs Bhargava’s ad-film company and is training to be a copywriter. “A friend asked me to write for a show on televisionand that is when I discovered that I really like writing.”

PARTY LOOK: “Skinny, well-fitted jeans teamed with a colourful top. Black is an absolute no-no. I like funky accessories like leather belts, sparkling swish jewellery in stones of interesting hues and shapes, and bags, which I love to mix ‘n’ match with my clothes.”
BRAND BASICS: “I am not a brand person. But I do pick up well-tailored, good clothes. I like wearing stylish, well-cut jeans, mostly ‘Zara’, though I don’t mind picking up good stuff from the flea market in Bangkok too. For bags and shoes, I prefer ‘Roberto Cavalli’. Makeup wise, I only opt for ‘M.A.C.’ products.”

BEST DO: “The best was the surprise birthday party at my own house, which was arranged by my friends. I was extremely touched by their gesture.”

WORST EVENT: “It was in Dubai last year, where DJ Paul Oakenfold played some boring music, the space was extremely huge and people were very few and horrible. I yawned and yawned!”

PARTY GOOF UP: “I was stuck in a lift all through a party which was thrown for me.”


Shazahn Padamsee can be highbrow and familiar with you all at once. One minute the talkative wide-eyed youngster, the other a careful debutante, who insists on choosing the picture that must appropriately accessorise the article. But Shazahn, the youngest of the Padamsees, is the girl of the moment. With many major brands in her advertising kitty and a Yash Raj movie – Rocket Singh Salesman Of The Year – she’s the only one from her family to seek a career in films.
“Dad (adman Alyque Padamsee) played Jinnah in Gandhi and was offered Amrish Puri’s role in Indiana Jones And The Temple of Doom,” says Shazahn. “But he declined because he would have to eat monkey brains! I’m pretty chilled out. I can sit around for hours in my vanity van and find ways to be occupied. My dad would go insane with the inactivity,” Shazahn says.

Her half-siblings – Raell and Quasar – and mother Sharon, not to mention “dad” and his former wives – the late Pearl Padamsee and Dolly Thakore, are involved in theatre. “I was the last person to get into acting. My parents didn’t believe it when I told them that this is what I wanted to do. Though I’ve always been around the stage, helping with the props and production, I was very shy. And then Gary Richardson offered me a role, which he said involved ‘sitting onstage, reading a book’. It then expanded to ‘saying a few lines, like yes and no’. Turned out, it was the central character,” says Shazahn.

Once on stage, she took courage from her father’s advice: Nervousness is another side of excitement. “Whenever I go on stage, all my nervous energy blooms into a performance,” she says. She was clear about stepping into films and was willing to wait for the right project. “I knew, I had time on my side since I look young, so I started working on my Hindi and got into modelling. And then came Rocket Singh,” she says. It is at this point that the starry airs settle on her, and she says this is all she can divulge about the film.

“I call my dad for every little thing. He always advises me to give my best shot. I take rejection very badly, but he is emphatic that I must get used to failure because there will be more of it than success. My mother is a darling and sugarcoats everything. She is completely focused on me and sets objectives and deliverables. I miss Pearl more now. I have never known my grandparents. She’d have filled that space,” she says.
