Discussing your underwear in public
Guest blogger Gemma Aldcroft, of Club Geek Chic, divulges some secrets...
Last Saturday I was on the lovely Neil Fitzmaurice's new Citytalk radio show and I brought up the subject of the new 'body sculpting t-shirts' for men, having read an article about it earlier that week.
The writer of said article described the difficulty he had squeezing himself into the top and oh! how we chuckled. What Neil and the other gentleman contributor sitting next to me didn't know was that I was at that very moment being held in by a pair of Spanx.
They really are the most undignified undergarment to put on - particularly when they are the variety that I favour, namely the ones that start mid-thigh and finish under your boobs. It's like trying to put a wetsuit on.
Anyone who has ever experimented with rubber clothing will, I'm sure, empathise... not that I'd know of course. You end up gurning furiously whilst you jump up and down trying to pull them up. That and flapping your legs, bent at the knees, like you're doing the dance to the Birdy Song - it's not a pretty sight.
BUT, ladies, let us not forget that this blog is called Girls Behaving Stylishly and may I say, once I have wrestled and wrenched my way into a pair of the aforementioned I always feel far more elegant. No unsightly 'ridges' as I call them or VPL and I think they even help with one's posture. So, very much worth the effort and initial indignity I say.
The only problem then is how to remove them sexily when you get lucky thanks to your svelte silhouette! The trials of being a stylish lady eh?
