Hanky Panky at the Emmy Awards!
The HBO Luxury Lounge was the place to be for Emmy nominees. Nominees were treated to a day of gifts and pampering at the Four Seasons Hotel last Friday before the 59th Annual Show. TLP favorite Hanky Panky’s signature thongs were among the many fabulous gifts received. Some of the favorite male celebrities even picked up a pair or two for the ladies in their lives. Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother) picked up some for his boyfriend’s sister while Daniel Zelman grabbed a few for his wife, Debra Messing. Want to know more about the HBO Luxury Lounge? See here.
Just because you aren’t a celeb doesn’t mean that you can’t score your own Hanky Panky thong! Not into thongs? Hanky Panky has a number of other styles including boyshorts, bikinis, and retro hi-rise panties. Hanky Panky is sold at retailers worldwide. Online, try Bare Necessities.
New and Old Favorites at Journelle
The seasons have yet to change, but for all intents and purposes, it’s fall. Labor Day Weekend has come and gone, school has started, and before long, the air will be crisp and the leaves will be changing. Even if you aren’t going back to school, who says you can’t use this time to spruce up your drawers with some new fabulous fall pieces. If you are in the New York City area, you can count on Journelle to provide you ample options.New favorite, The Little Bra Company (first introduced on TLP by Kelly) is now available at Journelle! Lucia, the popular, contoured lace-push up bra is on shelves now, but I’m sure it will be flying off quickly, so stop by soon. The brand, which originally created bras in sizes 32 to 36 A and B cups, has now expanded to include 28 and 30 band sizes, which should make all you petite ladies very happy! See the website for more information (and a glimpse at the pretty new colors of Lucia available in a few short weeks!)
An old TLP favorite, Elle Macpherson Intimates, has more than a few stunners this fall. Summer never has to end with the alluring and vivacious Revel! In Urchin Green, the set features a sheer, underwire bra that can be paired with a coordinating bikini or thong. The set wouldn’t be complete without exquisite detailing – gorgeous embroidery and dainty bows. Delightful! The sultry and sexy Pavillion marries striking hot pink with inky black in a set that is guaranteed to keep your nights hot. Want to see the rest of the Fall collection? See my previous post here.

YamamaY Swimwear 2008
These photos are from this year’s Yamamay Swimwear collection. The label is mainly an Italian one with quite a few franchises in mainland Italy, but they’ve recently adjusted their company mission statement to reflect their hopes of soon becoming a global brand for luxury lingerie AND swimwear.
Like I said before — these photos are the latest swimwear collection which I think looks very pretty!

Ripples Tropical Swimwear
Ripples Swimwear from the Caribbean island of Barbados, designs, manufactures and distributes an exciting line of bathing suits. A well-established company, in business since 1985, they offer five groups of swimwear. Hawaiian Tide is a mix and match collection of string tie tops, triangle tops, full cup underwire tops, string tie bottoms, bikini bottoms, high cut bikini bottoms, short bottoms, surf shorts, short dress, and a conservative one-piece, designed from fabrics of “tropical hibiscus silhouettes against a watercolour background, available in sunset orange and ocean blue”.
Equally as sexy are the other four lines of gorgeous swimwear.
- Candy Solids in bright pastels including Lemon Yellow with green binding, Lime Green with blue binding, Peach accented with purple binding, Berry Blue with yellow binding and Grape with peach binding. Each colour is made to complement the others so you can create your own custom ensemble from the varied tops and bottoms, and skirt or dress.
- Spiral is a mesmerizing floral mix of red, white and black hues. In addition to the same styles from the other lines, this collection adds a bandeau top to the selection.
- Dizzy refers to the fabric of this collection and what Ripples calls “head spinning print”. The prints are available in Dizzy Green and Dizzy Blue as well as shiny solid colours called Moss Green and Royal Blue.
- Sunburst is a lively collection of “fun diagonal plaids with symmetrical floral emblems, binded in complimentary deep accent colours, available in blue, green and orange and shiny solids in yellow, orange and red binded in corresponding plaids”. Sunburst also includes a short tankini that is not found in the other lines.
Sizes appear to suit both small and large bosomed women and the underwire tops are made with wider straps to support larger breasts. Ripples is a beautiful line of swimwear. Vivacious designs, exciting colours and prints, classic and conservative styling, it is as lovely as the Paradise from which it came!
