Since 2005 she has starred on one of CBS’ most popular sitcoms, yet you might not even know her name.    Maxim  intends to change all that and soon the Canadian model/actress Cobie Smulders is going to make a very sexy impression on the world.

Cobie, donned in some very sexy lingerie, graces the cover and the  inside pages of the upcoming issue of Maxim magazine.   “How I Met Your Mother” has been a hit for CBS since it’s inception and recently just filmed it’s 100th episode.  Cobie who stars in the sitcom,  plays Robin Scherbatsky, a TV reporter  now who formerly was a Canadian teen pop star.

As a model, Cobie has modeled all over the world in places such as Milan, Italy, Japan and other exotic locales.  Even with all this glamourous exposure, her true love was found in acting and she has found her  passion behind another type of camera.  Cobie also recently obtained a re-occuring role in “The L Word” that airs on Showtime, where she plays Leigh Ostin, the love interest of Jennifer Beals.

These sexy photos are likely to get Cobie some long overdue recognition and will have men everywhere undoubtedly turning their heads saying, “Now where have I seen that girl…”  xo J.

Halloween is this weekend—do you have your costume ready?  Don’t you just hate it when you procrastinate your costume and wait until the last minute?  You promise yourself year after year that you are going to plan better, but here it is days away-do you have your idea ready? That last minute costume panic can be a little unnerving. At that point your costume choices can be quite limited. You can buy whatever is left at the costume store, or perhaps you could try to throw something together from stuff you have around the house.

If you are feeling brave (or lucky as the case may be) your Halloween costume could be as nearby as your lingerie drawer.  Certainly there are many celebrity costumes that could easily be created with lingerie since it seems that the trend toward wearing lingerie out in the open has hit Hollywood with full force.   Lady Gaga is a perfect example—she is often seen sporting lingerie-only outfits at both her shows and other events.

You don’t have to be dressing up as a celebrity however, to make use of some of your sexy lingerie as a costume choice.  Any lingerie worn with bunny ears creates a sexy bunny look that will make you the highlight of any Halloween festivities.  A black bustier combined with thigh-high hose and a garter belt  an be easily transformed into a completely unexpected, yet very sexy police officer look.

If you wear black lingerie combined with a witches hat and cape, you can easily create a wickedly sexy take on a traditional Halloween look.

Tie a white blouse over any sexy lace bra with a short skirt and you can be a naughty school girl without any effort at all.

Just because you procrastinated in planning your Halloween look doesn’t mean you need to resort to wearing something plain, ordinary or frumpy.  Pull out all the stops this year and use some of your sexiest lingerie to create a great Halloween costume.  These looks aren’t necessarily for the shy but we can practically guarantee that they will be very, very memorable. xo J.

When you’re tired of being a “Football Widow”, you might want to invest in the Sportsbra. It boasts all the best buzzwords: wireless, digital, and rechargeable. The screens are small enough that he’ll have to get really close to “catch all the action.”

While I must admit there is nothing of the “Ugly Duckling” about this ensemble, I just think your popularity might take a “swan dive”, if you were “feather-headed” enough to wear this one in pubic.

The G string has nothing on the C string! No “whale tail”, no unsightly straps at all! How does it stay there? Well, I am just sure there is some physics-defying secret, because the alternative that comes to mind just makes me shudder.

As “hip huggers” gave way to “low rise”, so “bikini” must now give way to the “Backless Brief”! Although my undies won’t show when I bend over, I just can’t get over that sick feeling that my panties are slip-sliding away!

What disturbs me most about these “Vibrating Panties” is the thought that i might be sitting at some important social function, like my niece’s graduation, or the installation of officers at the local Women of the Moose, or delivering a particularly moving address to the Red Hat ladies, when some fool with a universal remote just sets me off. * Shudders *

These might actually be quite a boon to mankind. It’s Anti-Flatulence pants! Finally, an undergarment that traps gastrointestinal emmissions in a special pocket, and passes them through a replaceable filter before releasing them, freshly scented, into the atmosphere. Personally, I believe that the marketing department fell down on the job when they rejected the name “Toot Sweet”!!!

You will certainly be impressed to know that this lovely, ruffly lingerie set is made from 300 condoms, and rightly so. Or you would have been impressed until I show you this….

This stunning evening gown is made of 1000 condoms.

Yes, gentle readers, the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the inventor, and the craftsmanship and creativity of the artist are all obvious in this weeks selection of Regrettable Undies. And, as long as these inventors and artisans keep at it, we will never run out of material for this Gallery!

What goes around in fashion comes back around eventually…or so they say. Some fashion trends we are just happy to see “go” and one can only pray they never come back around to haunt our closets. Memorable-yet oddly hideous trends like Earth shoes or Poodle skirts should die peacefully and permanently in their place in history. Other trends might be fun to rekindle one day. It might be fun to see big shoulder pads back en vogue, or perhaps even stirrup pants. Fashion is fickle and it seems all relative to what I currently own. Whatever I’ve got is bound to not be what’s current and fashion forward, at least not for long. I just can’t seem to keep up!

Fashion trends are always changing in the lingerie world, too. Now that I have an entire wardrobe of g-strings and thongs, some consider them on their way “out” and other types of underwear are now “in”. Vintage styling in lingerie appears to be all the rage, largely inspired by hit televisions programs such as Mad Men, which is seen currently on AMC. The show takes place in the 60’s and has created a mini-resurgence in the fashion trends of this decade. The shows style mavens take you back to an era when clothing emphasized a more womanly and hourglass shaped figure. For whatever it’s worth, this seems to include “high-waisted briefs”—and yes, believe it or not they are sexy. The very pretty and very retro inspired underwear are Don Draper (and probably your boyfriend) approved.

Sexy you say? Are you dubious? I’m trying to stay away from calling them what may seem the obvious, as these definitely aren’t your average Granny panties. Several high-end lingerie retailers such as Hanky Panky and La Perla have come up with high-waister’s so luscious that nobody-yes, nobody-is going to be thinking about anybody’s Granny anything. These undies are not only sexy but comfy, too–now that’s a trend that may very well be worth repeating.
