Hunter to be replaced as face of lingerie firm
News - Ireland Online, Ireland
Model Rachel Hunter’s lingerie contract with the creators of the Ultimo Bra will not be renewed when it runs out next year, it was announced today.
MJM International said it wanted to end its work with Rod Stewart’s estranged wife “on a high” after two years together.
The Glasgow-based firm sparked a furious row when it signed up Hunter, 36, last year after dumping the rock star’s fiancee, Penny Lancaster.
The winter catalogue will be the New Zealander’s final job with the company before her contract runs out in February next year.
In a brief statement released through MJM, Hunter said: “It’s been great fun.” More..

Singapore keeps sex exhibition tame
News - Reuters.uk, UK
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - No nudity. No whips and handcuffs. No penis rings. No inflatable sex dolls.
Those were just some of the sex toys barred from display as strait-laced Singapore opened its first sex exhibition under the watchful eyes of the police.
Instead the three-day Sexpo 2005 offered pole dancers, condoms, vibrators, sexy lingerie and sexual health seminars to titillate crowds and excite the libido of a country consistently ranked bottom in a global survey of sexually active nations.
Barred to anyone under 21, the exhibition is far from racy yet it is seen as a milestone for the tightly controlled city-state that bans pornography and has tight censorship laws that routinely snip nudity and sex scenes from movies.
"This is really tame for a sex exhibition. But this is Singapore, so I was not expecting a lot more," said Christopher Hedman, a 49-year-old marketing director.
Curious crowds, mostly male retirees in their 50s, converged on booths demonstrating use of a condom that comes complete with a vibrating ring. Many whipped out mobile phones to snap pictures as erotic dancers -- clad in midriff-baring tops, mini-skirts and three-inch-heels -- gyrated to pumping music.
Police and Singapore's media watchdog reminded organisers of rules restricting display of adult toys and warned them not to promote "objectionable sexual behaviours or lifestyle, such as sado-masochism, bestiality, homosexuality, paedophilia and promiscuity".

Can buying a bra be an uplifting experience?
News - The Timesonline, UK
I have difficulty finding the right bra and never seem to get it right. I find the underwear sections in department stores and even M&S completely bewildering — there is too much choice and I don’t know where to start. Do we really need so many different sorts of bra? I just want something that is comfortable and gives me good support. What should I look for?
Dear me, it’s time to wake up to the fact that the world of bras has become as complicated as a Marco Pierre White recipe. The manufacturers have discovered that keeping bosoms well supported, bearing in mind their varying weights, sizes and shapes, is not a job for those hoping for a quiet life. And there’s also the dizzying collection of necklines that have to be accommodated, with a combination of modesty and allure, if the bra is to fulfil its wearers’ hopes and dreams.

Sizing them up: Bras can be a tough fit
News - ST Louis Today
The bra is possibly the most important — and most overlooked — piece in a woman’s wardrobe. If it doesn’t work, it’s probably the most noticeable, too.
Most women can size up another’s bad bra woes with a glance. It’s just our own that can keep us in a pinch. Plus, there’s the whole deal with denial. Many of us have changed ZIP codes far more often than we’ve changed bra sizes even though we know we need an update.

Sara Lee moves £170m pan-European media account
News - Brand Republic, UK
LONDON - Sara Lee International has consolidated its £170m pan-European media planning and buying business from nine agencies into Omnicom's OMD.
OMD will handle media for all 17 European markets, compared with the previous five markets it held prior to the review in June.
The consolidation includes the £11m UK account, which had been held by Publicis Groupe's ZenithOptimedia. Other agencies to lose business include Aegis Group's Carat, WPP's MindShare and Havas' Media Planning Group.
The consolidation comes into effect in January 2006.
The company, part of food manufacturer Sara Lee Corp, said it had moved the account into one agency "to create more synergy, efficiency and economy of costs".
The review covers household and bodycare brands including Brylcreem, Radox, Sanex, Ambi-Pur and Kiwi shoe polish, coffee and tea brands, and bakery products.
Creative for household products, handled in the UK by Grey and WCRS, is unaffected by the decision.
A review last year saw Sara Lee consolidate its $200m US account into Publicis Groupe's Starcom.
The consolidation saw agencies including ZenithOptimedia, OMD and Media Planning Group, the Martin Agency and Mullen all lose business.

Trend - lingering over lingerie
News - Pretoria News,South Africa
Corset-top bras are a must-have item this season. These tops, which offer support to belly and breasts, usually come in shimmering silks and look really slick. They are designed as inner and outer wear, so when you've run out of sexy tops to wear for a night out, it's perfectly acceptable to wear one.
Some even come with suspenders to strap on stockings during role-playing in the bedroom.
G-strings and T-strings are so last season, darling, and full knickers are taking over. But this by no means implies that you can rush out to buy the three-in-one school gym panties which kept you warm many moons ago.
Full knickers look like briefs, but are cut to sit just over the butt-cheeks. They are comfortable and look good enough to prance around the house in.

Lingerie with a lift: Cops go high-tech to bust cheeky panty raiders
News - Boston Herald, USA
Call them the thong arm of the law.
Undercover underwear sleuths on the Web are working with local cops to bust panty-pilfering rings who've stolen tens of thousands of dollars' worth of Victoria's Secret lingerie this year alone in Massachusetts.
Panty-store raiders have hit the Northshore Mall three times in the past month. Peabody police detectives have been sniffing for clues ever since to catch the cunning culprits, who have ripped off more than ,000 worth of Victoria's Secret merchandise.
"Essentially, we are compiling descriptions, comparing one incident to the other to see if it's the same person,'' said Peabody detective Michael Crane. ``It's a very difficult situation, because nobody has come up with a definitive description."
Earlier this year, high-tech tactics led to the conviction of panty-raid ringleader Jennifer Stevanovich, 31, of Andover.
According to a report by Chief Security Officer Magazine, a loss-prevention detective at Victoria's Secret's parent company, Limited Brands, led Andover police to Stevanovich by posing as a customer at an online auction. She was convicted in February of possession of stolen property.
The online investigator tracked Stevanovich to Andover by the return address she used while moving thousands of dollars' worth of panties and other mall-rat essentials on online auction site eBay.

Actress sued over lingerie ad
News - China view, China
BEIJING, Oct. 27 -- A local lingerie company exchanged evidence with one of Hong Kong's top film stars and an advertising agency yesterday as part of a series of lawsuits over a TV ad that ran into problems.
The lingerie maker, Shanghai Bosideng Enterprise Development Co Ltd, hired actress Maggie Cheung to perform in the advertisement, which was supposed to be shot by Hong Kong-based Jet Tone+Limited.
The ad wasn't finished in time, so Bosideng ended up doctoring a photo of the actress - using her face and the body of a model - to create a static ad that ran on CCTV, according to the suits.
Bosideng is suing Jet Tone and Cheung for not making the ad, while the two defendants are countersuing Bosideng over the doctored picture.
The Shanghai No. 2 Intermediate People's Court is dealing with both of the lawsuits.
Bosideng is demanding Jet Tone return nearly 2 million yuan (US$240,964) it received as advanced payments for the ad. It also wants the two defendants to pay 3.95 million Hong Kong dollars (US$506,390) in compensation and terminate the contract.

Underwear ads fail to triumph over ‘strict’ council rule
The Herald - Glasgow,Scotland,UK
IT is a storm in a D-cup – over an advertising campaign deemed too provocative for the streets of Scotland's largest city.
An attempt to promote products by a lingerie company on the side of black cabs has fallen foul of Glasgow City Council's licensing authority.
The campaign, by Triumph International, was to have featured models posing in underwear along the sides of taxis. However, it has been turned down by the local authority on the grounds it contains "nude or semi-nude figures".
The decision has attracted widespread criticism from taxi advertising companies, who say Glasgow's policy on the matter is "overly strict".
The Triumph campaign already adorns cabs in London, Liverpool and Bristol, but Glasgow is the first to reject it.
The campaign features three images, each of which shows the models and the phrase, Get Amazing Curves. The request to use them on black cabs came before the council's licensing convener's sub-committee yesterday by Patons Taxis, acting agents for Triumph.

China blames US for textile row
News - BBC, UK
The textile row continues...
China has said one-sided US proposals are to blame for the breakdown in the latest round of talks on a textile export row between the two countries.
China's commerce ministry said it could not agree to a deal which would harm its industry's "healthy development".
But the official China Daily newspaper went further, saying that the US had insisted on terms that "contain too few, if any, incentives".
The row over Chinese textile exports encompasses both the US and Europe.
Western nations have seen a flood of garments coming from China since a global tariff deal, the Multi Fibre Agreement, lapsed on 1 January.
