IUC Fashion: Celebs would kill for best Panties and Bra – Lingerie Hollywood Style

Underwear shopping is akin to stars like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Lindsay Lohan — there is a fine line between sexy and skanky, between dirty and ditch-pig, between fire and filth.
There is a fine line when shopping for underwear between sexy and skanky, between dirty and ditch-pig, between fire and filth. Unfortunately for the men of the world, in the last 10-15 years the thong has made the crossover from the sweet, accepting asses of the ladies of the 80’s like Bambi woods (Debbie Does Dallas) or Kristara Barrington (New Wave Hookers) to the regular Joe-plumber- buts of women today. In an odd twist of fetid fate, the hideous thong-exposing haunches of the Jerry Springer generation filched the right kind of smut from the pedestal of pornography, placed it in Victoria’s Secret and permitted women of all shapes and sizes to don these scary looking strings.
Luckily, style houses have been on top of this neutering infiltration and have done with underwear what they do best; made them out of reach to the masses (or, rather, massives). In the last five to eight years high-fashion, thankfully, has taken back the night. With the likes of high-end underwear companies such as Cosabella, Hanky Panky, and Commando setting the bar, men are more likely to picture these pricey pieces on the tight, plump cheeks of Jessica Alba or the soft, ivory knolls of Scarlett Johanneson rather than enduring images of their flabby -assed girlfriends in ill-fitting underwear that they were forced to gift them on Valentine’s day.
Let’s face it, some items are meant for the specialized. And if this was not the case then difference wouldn’t exist and without difference there would be no bitterness, jealousy, anger, or hatred and the world would be f…cking boring. We’ve already elected Obama. So Oprah Winfrey, Delta Burke, Barbara Walters, Katie Couric, Margaret Cho, Marie Osmond, Tara Reed, Amy Winehouse, Jennifer Garner, Madonna, Rosie O’donell, mom, Sarah Jessica Parker, Pamela Anderson (you don’t want to spread anything, do you?), Gwyneth Paltrow, Martha Stewart, Kelly Osbourne, and Eva Longoria — ain’t noone wants to see ‘dat — head down to Walmart and stock up on the biggest, cheapest pairs of granny panties money can buy. But special women – Natalie Portman, Angelina Jolie, Mischa Barton, Beyonce Knowles, Katy Perry (not Holmes!), Rihanna, do the divided world a favour, divide up those cheeks, suck up that dainty, expensive piece of fabric, strut down the streets and return to everyone the long, lost meaning of sexy underwear.
