Nastydiva: New Microkini Label

September 14, 2008 by Mandolina

Italy has a brand new microkini label trying to compete with successful and established brands like Wicked Weasel and Malibu Strings! Nastydiva (what’s in a name?) targets “all those women who feel happy about their bodies, who want to emphasise their beauty and highlight their sensuality, who love the game of seduction and – why not?! – who have a narcissistic view of themselves.” Their press release goes on to state that “With a Nastydiva bikini you can’t not feel beautiful and desirable to men!”. Female empowerment? For some reason I’m not a big fan of their press releases. 😉

Their site — another knock-off. Check out wickedweasel.com and nastydiva.com and make up your own mind. This does look like… a copy?

Same goes for the swimsuits. Looks are very similar to what we’re used to seeing from microwear labels and there’s just not much innovative stuff… I’m not convinced.

If you’re looking for a microkini — stick to the big labels — you’ll get the real deal!

Wicked Weasel: Fresh styles AND birthday giveaway!

September 27, 2007 by Mandolina

Wicked Weasel does it their way: they release new styles all the time. We could give each and every one attention, but I’ll try to give you updates when there are a few new ones… like now! 😉

First up: 414 Shiny Bandeay Bikini. A very daring and sexy bandeau that’s so see-through you’d wish you could stay in the water until it turns into salt. 😉 I like it though, again, if you have the confidence, it could work!

Second: new colors Naked Mesh ‘knickers’ — wearable microwear!

As a little extra news-blurb: Wicked Weasel turned eight (happy birthday!), and they’re giving away birthday items! More info is on their homepage (top right!)

Brazilian Bikinis – a little roundup

July 9, 2007 by Macella

I’m not one to pass judgment on all those Wicked Weasel fans but for me they are just too much (or too less.. 🙂 ) I just haven’t got the figure of a super model to wear one of those and I certainly haven’t got the guts. Fortunately for us there are a lot of brands who cater for those like me. For this small post I’ve selected a few Brazilian brands because that country tends to have the more risque type of swimwear we in Europe don’t have that much. Examples of these are Popobrasil, Berrydog and Fashion Bikini.

Popobrasil is quite cheap and has a lot to offer for both Wicked Weasel fans with C-through bikini’s as well as printed pieces with lining for us non-seethrough fans. You can buy a lot of their bikini’s on Ebay quite easily.

Berrydog caught my fancy with this 60’s inspired bikini. Check their site for more examples.

And finally Fashion Bikini. Although not quite my taste there were a few items which i liked: this bikini and swimsuit. You can buy them quite cheap here in their webshop.

If you have any suggestions, don’t hesitate to mention them in our forum.

C-String Lingerie and Swimwear

July 8, 2007 by Kelly

Introducing: The C-String. Even more “micro” than microwear, this product promises to keep panty lines and tan lines at bay. How? By eliminating the straps that even the teeniest of swimwear and tiniest of thongs always have. You can see this model holding wearing a C-String and holding one in her hand (shaped like a “C”, of course). It holds stiff with a bit of wire that you basically just stick in your rear end like a thong, and it presumably holds still.

I can’t help but wonder about the comfort (or lack thereof) a wearer will experience with wire up her butt, and I would be afraid the thing would fall down and out my skirt, honestly. I found a review of the product at the Daily Mail. The author seems very convinced that the C-String will never be a part of her wardrobe again, and she basically mirrors my thoughts about it – I think the whole thing is pretty bizarre and I won’t ever be bold enough to wear one! But for anyone daring enough to wear this, I suppose it is the ultimate solution to hiding panty lines!

The website also offers teeny-tiny bikini tops to complete the ensemble (there are other styles offered that offer more coverage, but if you’re already in a C-string, why not go all the way?)

Wicked Weasel: Sexy New Styles!

June 6, 2007 by Mandolina

Wicked Weasel (the most famous and popular microwear label out there!) has released some sexy new styles on their website in the last few weeks, so I figured it’s time to give you girls (and guys) a roundup on the tiny Wicked Weasel newcomers.

The Micro Cheeky Lace bottom is one of the most eye-catching knickers WW has in their collection. A very low cutout, high rise on the sides and pretty quality lace adds an intimate and girly touch. At $20 it’s not too expensive if you ask me. Pretty, sexy, small: a signature Wicked Weasel piece!

Not so much lingerie or swimwear (even though you’ll look sexy at the beach), but these WW Lighthouse Shorts (#516) are surely spectacular. I suggest being a S-bottom in stead of an XL though, as there’s not too much fabric on the brazilian styled backside! 😉 Price tag: $54.

And last but not least, the Microminimus Naked Lace thong for $21. It’s a bit too (really, TOO) tiny for my taste, as the name would make you believe! 😉
