You can Spanx me anytime at all . . .

Davey Jones of the Monkey's said it best, "I'm a believer, I couldn't leave it if I tried..." : ) I can't believe it, but I am a true believer in the power of Spanx. I've got 2 weddings this month and a dress I love that is a tad clingy. What to do . . . suck it in and be conscious of it; wear a long sweater or do what everyone else does, wear the control top panythose and hope the lines don't show. Lo and behold, quite by accident, I actually came across some people buying and swearing by Spanx at a lingerie store. Spanx helps women earse the line on pantylines and those love handle bulges. Suprisintly in talking with some friends, I am finding out that everyone swears by them; and they are not necessarily just for special occasion. Some women are addicted to the cinched-in feeling and assuredness that there are no little bulges peeking through their clothes—so much so that they wear them everyday under everything including leggings.

The company makes footless and footed hosiery, tights, and body shapers to give women a slim and smooth look with any style dress or shoes. Spanx also sells bras (all-hosiery Bra-llelujah!), slips, panties (Power Panties), and lined apparel. Their products are anywhere from Macy's to, Walmart (they sell the Legg's Version for $6.97) to Bare Necessities.

If you don't know the story; Sara Blakely is credited with inventing footless pantyhose. She started up Spanx in 1998 with $5,000 of her own savings.

If you can't find them in your area, then here are a few places on line where you can find them : )

Beautiful Under Gear ... what's under the dress is as important as the dress!

Who could say it best but Wikipedia? Before recent times, women's underwear were made with the primary function of body contortion. In the 940s, Frederick's of Hollywood opened shop in Hollywood and began selling corsets and lingerie with a much more fashionable appeal to them. These new styles of women's undergarments possessed a greater sexual feel, made even more glamorized by models such as Bettie Page.

Colorful, bright, sexy, and flashier fashions of women's lingerie were becoming available. More fabrics such as satin, lace and silk began to be incorporated into the makeup of women's lingerie, making them more desired by females and more sensual to males. This is perhaps the great turning point when panties became more than simple hygiene products and developed into
an icon of pleasure and sexuality worldwide.

Since then, women in flattering and provocative panties and lingerie have become a staple of several functions of men's and lesbian's popular culture. Several men's magazines such as Maxim and FHM often use images of attractive females in sensual lingerie to capture mainstream appeal.

Without further adieu .... you can get some really sexy bloomers, panties, undergarments.... whatever you want to call them, here at Get Go Retro! We have the ruffles, bows, sequins and more!

Bridal Under things that make a statement...

Nothing makes you feel better than new "under things," at least that's how I feel. New underwear just feels right. And, if you are getting married, chances are you are rebuying all your under things. With that in mind, here are a few cute little nothings you can buy that announce to yourself or significant other that you are the bride!
