Looking Gorgeous! with Debbie Simon

One of my favorite gifts during the holiday season is lingerie. Whether giving or getting, lingerie is a great way to say, I love you, You’re beautiful, I want you…and so much more.

At Olde Un, we have lingerie for everyone, whatever your size or sexual preference. And although lingerie can be one of the most beautiful clothing items we can put on our bodies, it sometimes can be intimidating and uncomfortable. So here are our best tips for rocking that lingerie as only you can!

1.    CONFIDENCE
Number One for a very important reason! Being confident in your own skin is the sexiest thing in the world. There very likely may be some fear when it comes to getting naked, but be encouraged. You aren’t the only one. Go ahead,  put yourself out there, and fake it ‘til you make it! Your partner loves you for you. So let that perfection vibe go, put away those Photoshopped magazines (forever, please) and bring out your beautiful self.

You both will enjoy the experience more when you let that confidence shine!

2.    Select lingerie YOU love
Making a lingerie selection should be fun. Don’t feel the need to pick the most racy teddy on the rack, any particular style, or even a particular color. When you browse through our store, you’ll find lingerie in bright colors as well as black, skin-tight revealing items and flowing baby doll styles that work to accentuate the positive (you get the idea). Remember, you’re wearing the lingerie, don’t let the lingerie wear you.

Get something you absolutely LOVE!

3.    Comfort is FUN
I admit, I’ve purchased lingerie because it looked good on the model that was printed on the tag. I get it home and it’s tight enough to cut the circulation off to the entire bottom half of my body! Yes, lingerie is a completely different feeling than wearing your old “comfortable” t-shirt and shorts, but make sure you get home with something that you can actually walk around in.

There isn’t anything sexy about a bound up, strangled partner (unless you’re into that sort of thing).  ;)

4.    Your ASSETS
There is lingerie that makes a booty shine. Lingerie that really shows off the girls. Lingerie that will make your legs look ten feet long. Pick out lingerie that shows off your best assets. And minimizes the parts that you may be less confident about.

Proud of your luscious curves? Baby doll gowns show off your bust and flatter just about any shape. Think you’ve got an amazing booty? Give your lover a peek of what’s to come with a form-fitting chemise. Considering a jaw-dropping striptease? A black garter slip, revealed after peeling away your everyday layers, can do no wrong. Take this as your lingerie rule of thumb: If you feel amazing, you’ll look amazing, and vice versa!

5.    Get out there and just DO IT!
Don’t talk yourself out of it. Lingerie can really add excitement to your sex life. The right lingerie can bring excitement for years to come. Your partner will never get tired of seeing you strut around in all your confident glory.

So put these tips to use and wrap up a special package for your loved one this holiday season. Santa Daddy will be oh so very excited to open your ‘present’.

What Women Want

By Debbie Simons

Women have a lot of power when it comes to getting sex when they want it. And they know what they like. So how does a man communicate his best attributes? Here are some things women like, so put your best foot forward men….

Honesty – Believe it or not, it’s number one. In survey after survey, trust and honesty consistently come in as number one. Think women want you to lie to them to save their feelings? They don’t. They aren’t asking for it and they deserve better than that.

Trust isn’t just a big deal for women, it affects you both. Past baggage, fear, alcohol and drugs, childhood experiences and more situations can make a man’s (or women’s) vision of honesty skewed. Throw that luggage out and get real, Dudes. Your woman will value and respect you for being honest, just as you will her. Especially when it’s hard.

Confidence – Women want a confident man. Confident in who you are. It may sound cliché but women want a man with a quiet confidence who compares himself to no one. Now don’t get confidence confused with a big ego or arrogance. We’ll see right through that curtain. Confident men don’t require a big ego. They understand their worth and who they are. So be confident. Know your value.

Be Attentive – Gifts? Compliments? Women really want to know that you’re thinking about them. Even if you just tell a woman that you don’t like it that she’s out with another guy, she’ll love it, because it means you were thinking about her. Do women wear sexy outfits on accident? Do they spend two hours on their hair because they love their flat iron? No way. They want to know that you understand how amazing and beautiful they are. Women notice these details and they respond.

Intellect – Do women like a man with a well-hung brain? You bet. Women love a man who is interested in her, and what she finds interesting. Not only that, she is intrigued when a man wants to learn new things and grow his mind. Having an intellectual curiosity is like releasing extra pheromones to a woman. Yummy…

Sense of Humor – Almost goes without saying. Funny guys get all the girls. You know it.

Passion – Passion for them. Passion for your career. Passion for your goals. Passion in your values and beliefs. Grab some passion and grow it. It will not only make you H-O-T to women, it will make you happier and more fulfilled as well.

But what about the physical stuff? We know you men like to look at the perfectly Photoshop’ed model. Do you expect everyone you sleep with to measure up to those impossible standards? Of course not! Neither do women expect you to be as fit as Channing Tatum or as perfectly chiseled as George Clooney. Some women love bald men, some love lots of hair to run their fingers through. Some love big muscles, some not so much. So don’t be caught up in the mirror. We aren’t.

Now get out there and find your Princess!
