We’re giving away lingerie! Seriously!

You might have seen in an earlier post that sometimes things don’t always go perfectly to plan.  But that’s understandable.  If designing, manufacturing and retailing lingerie was easy then everyone would be doing it.

But it was still disappointing to discover our final production run of Vanessa teddies didn’t go quite according to plan.  Though incredibly comfortable, we were getting a few emails to say the snap crotch buttons were not all staying closed all of the time.

So we’ve been considering what to do.  We could possibly sew them up, or cut them up and use as polishing rags on my old Hyundai or maybe even give them to a charity for clothing perhaps?  In the end we decided to give them away.

Despite the minor fault, these teddies are still lovely!

Want to know what the fault is with these teddies?  The teddy has a snap crotch held together with three little push buttons.  The feedback we’re receiving is that on the odd teddy, one or more of the buttons will not stay connected while moving around.  That’s it!  Everything else is perfect!  We haven’t heard of all three failing so you’re likely to receive a decent piece of lingerie.

To get one, all you have to do is place an order valued at over $30 USD.  Based on the size of whatever you order, we will add a teddy.  This is only until stocks run out and although we have a lot of theses teddies, some sizes will run out sooner than others.

Jump into the store and pick up something today!

Guy’s in Lingerie Stores – Ten Commandments

  1. Thou shall psych oneself up prior to walking into the store by carefully considering a plan of attack. ?This means not lingering for a period of time that is likely to draw suspicious glances from staff.
  2. Though shall have a cover story in place that suggests thou is purchasing for wife/girlfriend/mistress as a surprise present.
  3. Though shall pretend to be far less knowledgeable about sizing and fabrics to the staff to ensure thou appears as a stereotypical dumb male buying lingerie.
  4. Thou shall tell staff the wife/girlfriend/mistress is a size ‘X’ and under no circumstances say ‘she’s about my size’. ?This clearly gives the staff member reason to believe thou is buying for oneself.
  5. Thou shall only purchase underwear with a wide gusset. ?Bare minimum of 4 inches or 10cm. ?This will avoid splitting oneself in two, having one testicle in confinement and one on the loose or raising your voice by 6 octaves.
  6. Thou shall keep well clear of thongs and G Strings as they generally only have 1.2 square inches of fabric in the front. ?Refer point 5.
  7. Though shall stick with stretch fabrics only, despite being hypnotically drawn towards bright shiny satins and polyesters. ?Snap out of it. ?We both know they are not going to work.
  8. Thou shall not indulge in fantasies of the store assistants ‘helping you’ with your lingerie in the change room. ?Make the purchase and escape!
  9. Thou shall take advantage of Valentine’s and Christmas periods to stock up on lingerie in vast amounts when it is less suspicious you are buying for oneself.
  10. Every few years you will feel you must purge all your lingerie from your house/shed/work hiding place because ‘enough is enough’! ?Then you will go out and do it all again.

So we thought a photo shoot was due

One of the great things about working with lingerie is the photo shoot bit. ?For some reason, many people still seem to think that HommeMystere lingerie for men is a gay thing. ?Clearly this insinuates that all gay guys are effeminate and love to be the ‘girl’ in the relationship. ?If that was indeed correct, and all gay guys were actually wannabe girls, wouldn’t that make all gay guy couples lesbians?

Whatever.

Anyhoo, back to the point of the blog. ?We love doing photo shoots. ?Not just because we get to see our lingerie on a guy that actually makes more than a half arsed attempt at keeping fit. ?You know what I mean. ?Most guys think that a diet is switching from full strength to light beer for a week. ?That should work. ?Right?

Well we do like to see our lingerie on fit-ter guys than us, but we also get to dress up the female side of the shoot too. ?So when you’re asked what you would like the woman to wear in the shoot, ‘nothing’ is clearly not PC for this G rated label. ?So we went with the timeless Little Black Dress. ?And stilettos. ?And can we have a whip with that?

See all of our pics soon, but here’s one showing our next release. ?Retro Gold.

So we asked for some feedback…

This week we asked our subscribers for feedback on their lingerie wearing ways – particularly what any ladies thought about guys wearing panties or lingerie in general. ?Here are a some of the responses

“MY MAN is extremely masculine and very much enjoys wearing lingerie, I encourage him – he can express his sexuality in whatever way pleasures him and myself. ?I find it very erotic that he wears lingerie and have an extensive collection myself, the satin, lace and silk against your skin and rubbing your partners body when together in bed is pleasurable for both of us. ?It does not mean that he is gay or bisexual, it is incredibly sexy to see my big strong man strutting around in his lingerie – hot hot hot”

“I HAVE recently been dating a female school teacher, who would of preferred the sexual excitement of finding out for herself that I wear panties, rather than me telling her upfront before we got to the physical stage of the relationship. ?This new lady friend of mine, told me off for assuming she would think I was weird and not wanting to see me…..she thinks it amazingly beautiful, that I think of her when I am going to visit her, and choose a pair of my best half silk and lace, pastel shade panties, especially to see her……..A lot of women are not offended, and love the idea of men wearing panties, they often look more sexy than some females..”

“I READ an interview with Eddie Izzard in Saturday’s Toronto Star and in a brief paragraph he described my experience exactly, saying he’s a transvestite; not gay, he doesn’t want to be a woman, loves women – and their clothes. ?Had that attraction since he was 4. ?It’s not a compulsion, but it feels good to wear satin and lace and frilly things. ?BTW, I’m 77″

(read the interview – it’s worth the time)

“I AM married to the most beautiful woman for 33 years. ?We have two very successful daughters. ?My wife learned of my liking to wear lingerie when we were engaged. ?Since then she has bought most of my bras and panties, as well as negligees. ?I wear regular underwear during the week. ?But the weekend is for bras and panties. ?She has no problem with that as I am quite straight. ?Just like the feel of lingerie. ?Recently found HM and bought two different sets. ?When I get out of the shower on the weekend, she was waiting to “dress me” in my new bra and panties. ?She even has a special draw for all my lingerie. ?And she always picks out what I wear every weekend. ?Even the negligee for Saturday night. ?Been doing this for years, and we are both comfortable with it.”

“I LIKE and I love my HommeMystere mens bra and panty because me and my 27 male staff wear bras and panties everyday, and our women also like this underwear, it comfortable for men.”
