Red Carpet Style Secrets: Spanx

Filed under: Events: On the Scene, Swimwear and Lingerie

spanxIt's always good start with a solid foundation -- and by "solid foundation," I'm talking about keeping your curvaceous curves from wiggling, jiggling, and bulging all over the place. In the past, we could rely on the control top of pantyhose, but no one, and I mean no one, still wears pantyhose, do they? Do they?!?!

Since we don't get control top, and given that Dr. 90210's appointment book is probably filled up until 2010 (the stitches wouldn't heal by the time you had to go to your event anyway), the best thing we can do to tuck in our tummies is a girdle. Don't be afraid of the word. I know it sounds like some horrible thing that your grandmother used to wear in the '50s, but these days, we can call them "shapers." Spanx is an entire line of underthings that help "shape" us where we might have a little too much shape.

So suck it in, spank it into place, and don't breathe for the rest of the night.

Girdle for men actually tones thighs and hips

Filed under: Swimwear and Lingerie, Men

It's the worst feeling when you pull out your favorite dinner party outfit, only to find that you've put on a little weight -- and it shows. Fortunately, we guys don't have to suck it in all night. We can let our underwear do it for us -- with a man girdle!

But Wacoal Holdings, the company responsible for the stomach-shrinking undergarment, has recently released a product that's even more astounding. Called the "ex walker," the new underwear not only makes your mid-section appear more compact, but also shapes your thighs and hips in the process. How awesome is that?


Unfortunately the muscle-toning man girdle won't be available until 2010, and is being marketed as a "health product" (as opposed to "the lazy man's way to look like you bother working out," which is how I would've pitched it) -- so keep your eyes peeled in the fitness section of your local department store in a couple years.
