The world’s first museum for famous lingerie musuem has been opened in Brussels by Belgium artist Jan Bucquoy. Bucquoy has always used the lingerie theme in his work, one of his most famous pieces of artwork features Margaret Thatcher, John F. Kennedy and Adolf Hitler wearing underpants on their heads…hoping not their own pants.

His latest exhibition features underwear from many celebrities, mainly Belgium artists, singers, musicians and politicians and any celebrity can appear as long as they have worn the underwear for one day. Bucquoy cliams that the lingerie is ‘poetry’ and wants to give it a new lease of life by displaying it beautifully in a frame. Not sure that the pair of faded blue boxer shorts belonging to Belgian Finance Minister, Didier Reynders would look as pretty as lingerie please’s Amourette 300 bra and short. All gorgeous and lacy.

The artist hopes to get many more celebrities involved but we think we could create an even more beautiful museum in the Lingerie please office….displaying all the latest lingerie.

Every woman should own at least one Wonderbra, a staple product that is always there if you need an extra helping hand.

At a recent lingerie auction one of Marylyn Monroe’s bras thought to have been worn in the 1950′s revealed that even Marylyn needed some extra help getting the desired boost. With a double cup design and two sets of straps that would be hard to see underneath clothes, the bra would offered the Hollywood star a more ample cleavage thanks to the clever technology that now can be seen in many bras.

The orginal push up bra from Wonderbra had 54 design elements that are proven to lift and support the bust to give a dramatic cleavage. Involving three cup construction, precision angled back, a gate back and rigid straps- there is certainly a lot of technology that goes into these wonderful bras.

Now with the release of the revolutionary Ultimate Strapless which is the best strapless bra to ever be created providing the lift and support you need from a strapless bra plus giving a fabulous cleavage.

A must have staple we would recommend the Wonderbra Multi Plunge which will suit any dress style, The D to G Ornamental plunge for larger busted ladies or the Suki Bra, perfect for everyday wear.

Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and Jordan AKA Katie Price are just a few repeat offenders of the newest crime in celebrity… Getting caught without their knickers on! Here at Lingerie please we don’t understand the logic behind this madness. With so many options of beautiful knickers to choose from why opt to go au natural?

To “Go commando” may be thought of as daring or raunchy but when caught on camera it just isn’t pretty! Another excuse may be that tighter outfits require this drastic action to look their best. I don’t believe this to be true. Not when so many pairs of invisible knickers are now available. A favourite of mine are Sloggi’s Light Hipsters available at Lingerie please. Perfect to be worn with low rise jeans or under a tight micro mini these seamless knickers will keep your outfit fabulous and your dignity secure. Ok, so as you climb out of a taxi you might not have paparazzi flashing their cameras at you whilst you flash back… But I’m sure all of you often walk up stairs or stumble of a seat once in a while whilst drunk?

Don’t be embarrassed by your lack of knickers, get some sloggi’s today and you’ll never have another VPL worry!

After a night of compliments and with my confidence on a high I decided that these knickers were a god send. I just wanted to share my new found wisdom and spread the word…. New knickers, new you!

How can you recycle your lingerie?

We go through many bras ( on average every woman has 9 bras in her lingerie drawer! ) and as well as getting involed in our charity campaign why not do something fun with them. We have listed some of our favourite ideas below; please add your own by commenting below.

1. Customise your lingerie – boring white bra? why not jazz it up with french lace, sequins or other trimmings from your local haberdashery shop. Unique and easy on the purse strings.

2. Bra- tastic – Why not create your own art installation with that favourite piece of lingerie that doesn’t fit any more. Think boudoir chic, and it makes you feel less guilty about not wearing it.

3. Lavender pouch for your lingerie drawer – Take dried lavender and simply sew the two cups together to create a simple yet pretty perfumed pouch that will make your lingerie drawer smell fantastic.

4. Perfect for anyone who does quilting – Often beautifully decorated with gorgeous lace or sequins they are perfect for anyone who creates quilting.

5. Handbag chic – Jennifer Stella, the creator of Bravura has came up with the fantastic idea of making handbags out of bras….we recommend only doing this with clean pretty bras though!
