Pooghe Laundry - sexy underwear with a silver secret

Here's an idea: luxurious base-layer clothing (translation: underwear) that is super comfortable and uses nanotechnology to prevent odor.

Don't go running to the patent office. Pooghe Laundry already did it, and they somehow even made it sexy, too!

Pooghe uses a high tech method called "SmartSilver" that puts silver ions actually in the fabric. When the ions are released, they kill the bacteria from perspiration and voila, no odor.

The line includes men's and women's underwear, long and short sleeve tees, camisoles, socks, tank tops, leggings and compression cold weather apparel, all made from soft Supima cotton. The founder, Steve Monte, manufactures everything in the US, ensuring that all production is sweatshop-free and Fair Trade.

All good things. But really, we all want to see what it looks like on. In the gallery, scantily clad models who we can be sure smell as good as they look.

Let's play a little game. When we say "tiered skirt", what's the first thing that comes to mind? Hippies? Flower power? Prairies? We're about to erase that perception from your mind. No, not by our mind boggling Tom Cruise like super powers (you wish!). It's far simpler than that. We're going to introduce you to the flirty skirts present at the Luella, Givenchy, and Zac Posen spring/summer 2008 runways.

Steve & Barry's will carry SATC merchandise

After posing alongside Mr. Big for an upcoming issue of Vogue, and sitting pretty on Oprah's couch, Sarah Jessica Parker now wants to sell us Sex and the City merch.

Steve & Barry's, who produces SJP's inexpensive clothing line Bitten, has been tapped to create the collection of t-shirts and tank tops in honor of the block-buster summer flick, which opens on May 30th.

Much like the four girls themselves, the pieces come equipped with sassy phrases like "I'm with Mr. Big" and "I (Heart) Sex and the City." Meanwhile, the rest of the items will feature the faces of the movie's stars.

Even cooler, though, is the fact that everything will go for $8.99 or less, which means you can save the rest of your cash for the popcorn and candy.

What not to wear to work this summer

Email thisPosted Apr 30th 2007 at 1:17PM by Jonathon Morgan

It's getting hot again -- finally! Time to get out and do some shopping for fun summer looks. However, if you work in an office (and you'd like to continue doing so), a recent survey of Monster.com users points to a few things you should definitely avoid.

Above all else, don't wear tank tops! This should be obvious, but apparently there's a number of women who show up to work with their bra showing. I guess if you're working in advertising, gaming, or some other highly-creative industry, you might be able to get away with showing a little more skin, but I'd still think twice -- especially if you want to be taken seriously.

Secondly, ditch the flip-flops. Don't get me wrong -- I live in Austin, where flip-flop sandals are a staple for every man, woman and child -- but unless they're incredibly classy (as in, you paid way too much for them), they make you look like a college student, and aren't appropriate for work.

Oddly, Hawaiian prints also ranked high on the list, which you should never wear, ever, under any circumstances. So quickly donate all that stuff to your local Goodwill before you're tempted to go crazy on your next casual Friday.

But beyond the fashion foul-ups, what you wear affects your demeanor, which will, in turn, affect your performance at the office. Trust me -- about two months ago I started working out of my house, and ever since then I've been working in my pajamas. I now have such a slacker attitude, I'm sure no one will ever hire me to work in an office ever again.

Your bra strap dilemma solved

Email thisPosted Apr 12th 2007 at 9:39AM by Anne Metz

Filed under: Clothing

Ever since the spaghetti strap tank top made its comeback in the mid-90s, women have faced an almost unsolvable dilemma: what do you do about a bra?

So far, the options haven't been anything to write home about. You could wear a strapless bra and spend the day hitching it up from your torso. Or you could wear a bra and just let the straps show. And if you very ambitious, you could just go without. For a moment, we thought built-in shelf bras would be our salvation, but we soon learned that the shelf bra was even more of a joke than those clear strap bras we told ourselves that no one could see.

If a built-in bra was the obvious answer, someone still needed to figure out a way to add specific cups sizea. Athleta, a hip women's fitness company has risen to the challenge of the skinny strap tank. Its bra cup cami comes in six solid colors and two patterns. Each style is available for cup sizes 32B - 42DD, and while the built-in support might not be enough for a DD jog, it does offer B & C girls the opportunity to do everything from yoga to tennis to grocery shopping without the extra straps or boob squishing shelf bra.

For modesty's sake, wear a tank top!

Email thisPosted Jan 25th 2007 at 9:09AM by Anne Metz

When it comes to fashion, I have two strikes against me. The first is that I'm modest -- I'd sooner die than flash my belly. The second is that I'm very tall. I know, I know -- being tall is a good problem to have, but I must admit that it causes more complications than you might expect. For instance, my shirts and sweaters are never long enough for my arms (when 3/4 sleeves were popular, I was in heaven!). And don't even get me started on the hemlines!

Rather than dealing with the unending problem of t-shirt tug-of-war, I've started to wear long layered tanks beneath my tops. Believe me, I'm not under any delusion that this is some kind of deeply stylish choice on my part -- everyone knows that layering is as old as the hills.

Layering in practice is, however, new to me, so I'm quite proud to admit that I like the look of a pale blue tank top poking out beneath the hem of a chocolate brown sweater.

Right now, my top tank choices are American Apparel's classic baby rib and Old Navy's Perfect Fit. Obviously, the Old Navy version is more economical, but the AA version offers more street cred. And I'm all about some street cred...
