Scottish entrepreneur Michelle Mone‘s divorce is being linked to her husband’s objection to her posing in ads for her own lingerie line. Mone, from Glasgow, built her business empire MJM International after creating the Ultimo Bra.

Ever read lists of top things women should know or try in their lives? Schmutzie tells us why these lists are bullshit. I have a burr under my saddle today, and it is in the shape of articles whose titles contain the phrase “every woman should”, such as: –”Twitters Every Woman Should Follow” –”10 Things ...
The lingerie line “Hope” recently released TV ads instructing women to use their “natural charm” when breaking bad news to their boyfriends. Crash your boyfriend’s car? It’s okay, just make sure to take your clothes off before telling him. Spend all of his money? Use the same trick and you’ll be fine. Whatever you do, ...
G-strings got rid of your panty lines but for some, that was not enough. Enter the C-string. This piece of underwear (or bathing suit, if you’re brave) is a little bit of fabric that covers your crotch and holds itself up thanks to a wire structure that grabs on your anatomy the same way a ...
Valentine’s Day used to be about flowers and chocolate, but now it’s about sexy lingerie. While I know I should be annoyed at yet another marketing ploy to make women feel less than sexy in their own skin — this ad just made me giggle. Despite rumours to the contrary, most men will not be ...

If you didn’t think the owners of the Lingerie Football League would get any sleazier, you’d be wrong. They just put two of their best players on probation for wearing their team uniforms during a pre-approved photoshoot, complaining that the women were not naked enough. They were wearing a bra, panties and shoulder pads. Quarterback ...
