Janurary Earthy Style Picks

French women spend more money on lingerie because French women expect to get laid, regardless of age or relationship status.  Author Anne Baronne warns us to "never underestimate the power of a black lace garter belt", suggesting that French women are thinner because being sexy is so engrained in the national consciousness, and claiming that there are almost as many lingerie shops in Paris as there are bakeries.

Women have enjoyed wearing sexy lingerie for decades and it is no secret that most women love it. Men always think that women wear lingerie for them, but you would be surprised by the fact that many women enjoy wearing it even more than men do. A nice piece of sexy lingerie does wonders for self confidence and more importantly, it makes women feel sexy and beautiful no matter what she is wearing over it. Just knowing that you have this sexy thing on underneath your clothes gives you that extra boost of confidence throughout the day or night. But this is just one reason why women absolutely love wearing lingerie.

Because I am a tad old school I share these sentiments… I think that what your undergarments look and feel like says a ton about where you are in life…  Not in successes or anything silly like that, more in how you are feeling in your skin.  Buying nicer undergarments can tend to be on the pricey side.  And also involve slave labor.  Here is some food for thought in regards to lingerie!

Were you aware that the limited company one that I have bought a ton from and even worked for at one point uses slave labor!  Limited as in Victoria Secret, Limited, express!

·  Workers toil from 7am-10pm working 14-15 each day and up to 105 hours per week.

·  Workers are allowed just 3.3 minutes to sew each $14 Victoria’s Secret women’s bikini, for which they are paid four cents. That’s 3/10ths of one percent of the bikini’s cost.

·  Treatment is very rough, as managers and supervisors scream at the foreign guest workers to move faster to complete their high production goals. Workers who fall behind on their production goals, or who make even a minor error, can be slapped and beaten.

·  None of the workers have been provided their necessary residency permits, without which they cannot venture outside the industrial park without fear of being stopped by the police and perhaps imprisoned for lack of proper documents.

·  Limited Brands, the parent of Victoria’s Secret reported a profit of $12 million dollars last quarter, compared with a profit of $23 million a year ago.

·  The Limited Brands CEO has an annual salary of $6.6 million.

Now I am sure that is not the case anymore since being found out, but just know that most of the big brands that you buy from including Gap (which sucks because there undies are a dream) have used or still use slave labor.  Until they are called out on it and then the story is “We had no idea”.

As well as the whole slave labor thing there is the use of earth’s resources!  From factories, to packaging and shipping it is a wasteful industry.
