Dang! that just blew all my gift ideas outa the water

ery important. Get the right size. Go routing though your partner’s underwear draw, find her favourite bra & knickers and note the size. If she catches you looking at her undies then come clean about what you are doing, otherwise you’ll come over as having a strange fetish.
so here we are right back at kinky

Whoopee! My first, first

I happen to love bright red bras and have no idea what a demi bra is either. No, wait, I can work it out -- just don't think about bras that way.
And I like lacy lacy lacy.
So there, bra experts!

Since when did red become "whore red?"
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | January 24, 2007 at 12:15 PM
woohoo, Mot!
Posted by: mm | January 24, 2007 at 12:15 PM
Hmmm... breasttalk at responsesource on buying ladies lingerie.
Guys: Victoria's Secret Gift Cards.
Always the right size, style, and fit. Just sayin'.
Posted by: Queen Med | January 24, 2007 at 12:16 PM
I like red lacy too..sheesh and I ain't no HO!!!
Amer, demi bra is kinda a half cup.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 24, 2007 at 12:17 PM
Yay, Mot!

If your partner doesn't already know about your kinks, you are doing something wrong.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | January 24, 2007 at 12:18 PM
Amer, the best demi's have a little padding to push up and out. That's the Secret Victoria has been keeping.
Posted by: Queen Med | January 24, 2007 at 12:18 PM
I don't know what triange bras are either, I have a feeling that if you're any bigger than "B" these aren't options open to you anyway, or they become "fallout" bras...
Posted by: mm | January 24, 2007 at 12:19 PM
3 foot long tassels?????????? That being said, they would make good reins. Just sayin'

10) Let your partner wear it for a while before ripping it off!

Posted by: fivver | January 24, 2007 at 12:20 PM
Siouxie, would that be a half cup full or a half cup empty?
Posted by: Gadfy | January 24, 2007 at 12:20 PM
Um, my partner is, in fact, a porn star. Would crotchless be appropriate? How about something with zippers?
Posted by: Boo Augustus | January 24, 2007 at 12:21 PM
Ameri, living in the ligerie capitol, I'd of thought you'd be an expert on the unmentionables. :)
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 24, 2007 at 12:23 PM
Boo A. In that case use the whole chicken!
Posted by: PeeJay | January 24, 2007 at 12:24 PM
Boo - Condoms, tissue, and batteries would be appropriate.
Posted by: Queen Med | January 24, 2007 at 12:24 PM
siouxie and LBFF are right, I think Valentines Gift Page is out of "ravishing red" garments for this Valentine's season, so they have renamed it...
Posted by: mm | January 24, 2007 at 12:28 PM
Gadfly, hopefully full ;-)
Posted by: Siouxie | January 24, 2007 at 12:28 PM
Don’t just look at Bras & Knickers, get the edible kind so that some of your other senses can get involved also.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | January 24, 2007 at 12:30 PM
Depends if you're buying or selling Gadfly.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 24, 2007 at 12:30 PM
So I'm thinking of getting her lace-top, thigh-high, Cuban-heeled stockings in Red. This violates at least rules 1-5 and the end of 7. Is that bad?
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | January 24, 2007 at 12:33 PM
No Dread, YOU are bad. Just sayin.
Posted by: casey | January 24, 2007 at 12:35 PM
Cuban-heeled??
Posted by: Siouxie | January 24, 2007 at 12:39 PM
huh?
Posted by: Gadfy | January 24, 2007 at 12:40 PM
DPC- as long as they have the seam up the back you're OK
Posted by: mm | January 24, 2007 at 12:41 PM
Thank you, Boo. I was just going to ask that.
Key illiterate line: Go routing though your partner’s underwear draw, find her favourite bra & knickers and note the size.
I assume they mean "rooting" and "drawer" there, but maybe the knickers got them too excited to spell correctly.

"Ameri, living in the ligerie capitol, I'd of thought you'd be an expert on the unmentionables. :)"
But they don't have names attached to them in the store, and anyway, the names would be in French. But then, once I remembered that "demi" is french for half, I kinda figured that one out. It's kinda dur s'il y a des mots étranger dans une phrase, doncha know. On commence par penser en anglais, mais pour seulement un mot, c'est nécessaire changer à français, ou l'inverse, if you get my drift.
Posted by: AmerInParis | January 24, 2007 at 12:45 PM
Amer, your accent is showing.
Posted by: casey | January 24, 2007 at 12:47 PM
oui oui!!
Posted by: Siouxie | January 24, 2007 at 12:50 PM
Siouxie - Cuban Heels in red, with no cr0tch. These, however, do not have lace.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | January 24, 2007 at 12:51 PM
AmerinParis - I dunno, I have that problem English-to-English...
Posted by: mm | January 24, 2007 at 12:54 PM
"Amer, your accent is showing."
Oh that? The continental Europeans are all convinced I'm British when they hear me speak -- probably because I don't sound like Bush, Clinton or JR.
The Brits, of course, know I must be American, or possibly Canadian, or even Irish (if I'm out of breath from running after a train). I even had an Irish woman mistake me for being Irish.
It's one way to have fun.
Posted by: AmerInParis | January 24, 2007 at 12:55 PM
ohhhh...got it, Chris.
I wonder why they call 'em that though.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 24, 2007 at 12:58 PM

Hey, if I had a girlfriend, I'd love to see her in, uh, I mean, buy her that for Valentine's day. And sometimes bad is good! Sometimes it's even VERY good!
Posted by: AmerInParis | January 24, 2007 at 01:00 PM
My French is limited to "Votre nom, sil vous plaix".
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 24, 2007 at 01:01 PM
I've just followed the Cuban heel link and now I need a cold shower.
Posted by: AmerInParis | January 24, 2007 at 01:04 PM
Then why have Valentines day?!
Posted by: creative-type dad | January 24, 2007 at 01:05 PM
But what if your partner is a pr0nstar?
I'm just saying...
Posted by: jon | January 24, 2007 at 01:07 PM
I thought the title was "Attention - Men". As in, 'Hey, single gals - we've found where the mother lode of real men.'
....sigh....
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 24, 2007 at 01:10 PM
My hubby believes Valentine's Day is a massive conspiracy between Hallmark, Russell Stover, and FTD. If I want naughty underwear, I'll just have to buy it myself. *starts making shopping list*
Posted by: Nurse Tammy | January 24, 2007 at 01:11 PM
Mot - translation (I think)
It's kinda hard if there are strange words in a phrase, doncha know. One begins by thinking in Englishh, but for only one word, (then) it's necessary to change to french, or the reverse, if you get my drift...
Posted by: mm | January 24, 2007 at 01:19 PM
Lace itches, I've been informed, and should be avoided. Silk is always - always! - nice, and synthetics should be avoided at all costs. Demis are a personal favorite; just thinking about them, I need a cold shower.
Generally speaking, though, isn't buying fancy unmentionables for her for Valentine's Day kinda like her buying you a lawnmower for Father's Day? Sure, it's appreciated, but we both know who it's really for.
Posted by: Clean Hands | January 24, 2007 at 01:32 PM
CH - maybe. He's never bought me naughty undies. I wish he would. Modeling them, for however short a time, would be a LOT of fun. *grins saucily*
Posted by: Nurse Tammy | January 24, 2007 at 01:35 PM
"and synthetics should be avoided at all costs"
Does this mean I should exchange the PVC for leather?
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | January 24, 2007 at 01:35 PM
CH, you wear demis??? nttawwt, of course.
To an extent, my ex used to get those for me AND him, he said.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 24, 2007 at 01:36 PM
What about open crotch knickers that are also vacuum cleaners?
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | January 24, 2007 at 01:36 PM
yep, Chris! nothing like real leather.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 24, 2007 at 01:38 PM
Leather is SO much harder to clean. PVC you just hose off. Even after all the licking.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | January 24, 2007 at 01:40 PM
The "Trashy.Com" shop is located one block north of the Beverly Center Mall, on the right.
Or so I've heard.
Posted by: PirateBoy | January 24, 2007 at 01:40 PM
I should know better than to opine in the presence of DP Chris. I stand corrected.
Posted by: Clean Hands | January 24, 2007 at 01:43 PM
at this point i'd be happy with any valentines dainties, crotchless or not, whore red or not, vinyl or leather.
Posted by: crossgirl | January 24, 2007 at 02:14 PM
cg, I'd be happy to have a valentine dainty to show 'em to (iykwim).

Posted by: Clean Hands | 01:43 PM on January 24, 2007
NO NO NO!! You Were Right!!
I have been informed that natural latex (rubber) is superior to PVC.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | January 24, 2007 at 04:14 PM
If your partner is a porn star, then she probably has plenty of crotchless panties already. And, anyway, is it really a romantic gift if it's something she'll wear to work on Monday?
Posted by: daisyj | January 24, 2007 at 04:26 PM
I've broken all 10 rules and Mrs. Layzee never seemed to mind. 'Course the crotchless ones come from Victoria's Secretion.
Posted by: Layzeeboy | January 24, 2007 at 04:53 PM
DPC - unfortunately there are folks who are allergic to latex. There could be more embarrassing ways to go. I used to giggle to myself after I read in one of the trade magazines that several people had died during their colonoscopies because of a latex allergy. That might be more embarrassing.
Posted by: mm | January 24, 2007 at 08:13 PM
Do you think Prince charles read this? What will he get for Camilla?
Ugly travels in a cycle, yes it does!
We need to have a thread discussing the bestest, most unique V Day gift ideas. Not just um, grinder-finders, but totally different ideas. Then we can steal them from each other and surprise our sig-ots.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 25, 2007 at 12:34 AM
Annie, for Christmas, I took the advice of the bloglits and got Mrs. H. some Bissinger's chocolates.
Here I thought she didn't like chocolates all these years, and it turns out that she doesn't like cheap chocolates. I do believe I'll be doing that again.
I might also sell her car, just for laughs.
