Curve NY and NY Showrooms Part 1: Interviews

March 1, 2011 by Krista

This past week in New York has been incredibly busy. I’ve seen so many brands and have so much information to bring you about what is to come in the lingerie industry in 2011. Our friends from Lelo, Hanky Panky, Between the Sheets, and ARI DEIN were generous (and daring) enough to let us film our recent conversations with them about their brands, trends, and more!

From Lelo, we interviewed the lovely Eliane Said who showed us the absolutely elegant Sussurra collection recently launched by the brand best known for their pleasure objects. You’ll be hearing more on TLP about this collection, but pay special attention to the kimono (my fave!). Just glorious!

Hanky Panky lent us their Glam Guru, JD Breen, who showed us some best sellers and talked trends. Did you know that Hanky Panky is more than just their signature thong?! And speaking of the thong…stay tuned to the end of the video for a little tidbit!

Our other two interviews featured two of New York’s premier young designers – Layla of Between the Sheets and Ari of ARI DEIN. Get a glimpse at their upcoming brands, discover their inspiration, and learn how they make it all work (yes, Tim Gunn would be proud!). Also, learn a bit more about each of them as individuals. Are they loyal to the iPhone or Blackberry? What superhero powers do they secretly desire? Where do they see their brands in 5 years?

We love these ladies and know you will too!

The video interviews are a new territory for TLP, so let us know what you think! We hope you enjoy this peek into the world behind the brands. Stay tuned to TLP for more on what’s to come – new finds, trends, photos, and more! Let us know what you think on Facebook and Twitter and keep the conversation going. Maybe one of your questions will be asked of the next featured industry insider!

What to Wear When Valentine’s Day is on a Monday

February 14, 2011 by Kelly

This year, Valentine’s Day falls on a Monday. For me, that means the holiday will be pretty low-key. I’ll be meeting my guy for lunch at a favorite restaurant, but we’ll probably be spending the evening at home like a lot of other couples who have work or school the next morning.

By all means, pull out all the stops in the bedroom! But what about the rest of the night, when you’re enjoying dessert or curling up on front of the fireplace? Valentine’s Day deserves something a little special and extra pretty even if you’re not leaving the house. Here are some of our favorite options for a cozy Valentine’s night in:

Win and Share the Love with Hanky Panky!

February 1, 2011 by Krista

Hanky Panky needs no introduction. The brand’s infamous thong is a celeb (and regular gal) fave and a staple in many a lingerie wardrobe. As you’ve seen on TLP, Hanky Panky is more than the thong. Especially when it comes to the After Midnight collection! The racy and sultry collection gives you that little spark to help you bring the heat and fire!

One very lucky reader will win an exclusive gift set featuring an After Midnight Signature Lace crotchless thong and Jimmyjane’s travel friendly iconic ring and iconic pocket virbrator all in a lovely satin bag. Ready to win this gift package (retailed at $62)?! Simply comment on our link to this post of Facebook with, “I want to Share the Love with Hanky Panky and Jimmyjane!” To complete your entry, you must either ‘Like’ Hanky Panky on Facebook or Follow on Twitter. This giveaway starts now and ends at 11:59 p.m. EST on February 7th when one winner will be randomly selected and contacted by February 8th. Keep your eye on your inbox!

Can’t wait to make magic? You can purchase this set (or the other set featuring the thong, bralette, and little chroma vibrator) on the Hanky Panky website: http://www.hankypanky.com/Hanky-Panky-After-Midnight-Collection

Wear Yellow on NYE!

December 30, 2009 by Kelly

Last year we told you that yellow is a lucky underwear color to be wearing on New Year’s Eve. I only found a few pairs of yellow panties then but this year I’ve found quite a bit! To bring yourself good luck this year, click here to read the details and then check out these pretty yellow knickers you might want to wear. We only chose ones that you have a chance of finding in-store in the next couple days (depending on which shops are around you), so there are no online-only brands here!
