Every year, as summer approaches many turn their attention to finding the latest in designer swimwear trends. One can easily see the latest designs, cuts and colors by picking up almost any magazine in the months that lead up to the start of summer. It seems that every year designers come up with suits that are more flattering and unique than those of the prior summers were. With the latest emphasis on designer swimwear, swimsuits and the accessories that go with them can make a real fashion statement and for many, that can be a wonderful thing.

When one is shopping for the latest in designer swimwear, there are still things that they must keep in mind. One of the first things a person needs to think about is what they will be doing while they are wearing their swimwear.

People who are more active at the waterfront, who enjoy waterskiing, swimming laps or a host of other activities will want a suit that is better suited for such activities, whereas those who prefer to lounge on the sand or in a beach chair, will need a suit of a different type. In some cases, a person may actually need suits in each style, but the important thing is to know what the suit you are currently shopping for will be used for.

The man who sells candy confections at a small concession stand can not afford to pay for an expensive advertisement. Yet in 2007, such concession stand owners stood to enjoy the benefits of what amounted to a lengthy commercial. That’s because a collection of candy confection lingerie had been displayed on TV. That collection had been included in one of Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows. That Show was shot by cameras from the CBS Studios. That show aired during prime time, insuring its delivery to a large, wide-eyed audience. Can you picture the interest in a Super Bowl halftime that had received the sponsorship of Victoria’s Secret?

Victoria's Secret Models

Before the launching of Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows, one would have had to look long and hard for anyone who was eager to watch an hour long commercial. Now a person who does not leave the room during every commercial is much easier to find. Now, comments made by Jack Sussman, an executive at CBS suggest an increased interest in commercials, or at least in one commercial like production.

Before the airing of the 2007 Fashion Show, as sponsored by Victoria Secret, a reporter talked with Jack Sussman. Sussman’s channel planned to televise the show that Sussman referred to as an “event.” After Sussman described the fashion show as an “event,” the reporter asked if the televised show was not really more like an hour long commercial. Sussman did not seek to counter the reporter’s observation.

Victoria's Secret Show

Sussman knew that even a published story that compared a Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show to a lengthy commercial would not diminish public interest in the scheduled show. Sussman knew that millions of viewers would tune in for a look at the starring act in that show—the Spice Girls. Sussman could also point to one big difference between the planned Fashion Show and a real TV commercial. Sussman knew that money from ticket sales would benefit a local AIDS related charity – specifically Camp Heartland.

Are you palms sweaty and your voice quivering? Is your heart beating with nervousness and you just can’t wait to get the task at hand done? If so, you are most likely a male who is shopping for your woman’s lingerie. A fantastic present, no doubt. However, this could explode in your face or bring you a night of pleasure that never seems to end.

The number one rule in the men’s guide to buying lingerie for women is to calm down. Why?

You can generally get a rather good sense by looking at what she already has.

Sexy Lingerie

Women who typically wear sweat pants and a tee shirt to bed will be happy with something comfortable. A complicated getup with garter belts and stockings may not be the best choice.

If you are hoping for something racy, you may need to begin simple and slowly work more fancy lingerie into the bedroom. See if she loves the babydoll and then progress from there.
