The Quotable (Anti)Lingerista: Janis Joplin

Known for her gravely voice and moving music, Janis Joplin was the Queen of Cool and Headmistress of Hippies. Her free loving attitude definitely put her in the category of "Celebrating Her Inner Eve" even if she liked to go braless. Even us itty bitty gals need a lacy bralette for support. Back in Janis' day, going braless was as much of a statement about living free against the establishment's predefined rules as it was celebrating being a woman.

Janis is someone who defined her generation, inspired us with song and still moves us, despite her early demise. In celebration of Janis' birthday yesterday (January 19), we're celebrating her free spirit.

“Don’t compromise yourself. You are all you’ve got.” ~ Janis Joplin

I'd like to add that, "What you've got is enough," regardless of what society says or what is on the magazine covers.

Eve of the Month: Jennifer Garner

Congratulations to Jennifer Garner, our Eve's Apples Eve of the Month!

Since it's a new year and a new decade, we wanted an Eve of the Month who is naturally comfortable and confident in her own skin. Jennifer Garner fit the description. She's an actress who seamlessly went from staring in Alias and getting bad guys each week, to feature films and a fully loaded personal life, complete with marriage and children.

What we love about Jennifer is that she just appears so comfortable with herself, whether she's taking her daughter to the library or loosing baby weight. Unlike most actress who've succumbed to loosing baby weight at a rapidly after giving birth, Jennifer choose to eat healthy and exercise regularly, letting the weight come off gradually. When weight comes off slowly, it's a great way to ensure that the weight stays off.

I do remember reading somewhere that Jennifer likes cotton panties above all other lingerie. If you're like Jennifer, then the Keep Me bra and panty set (below) are for you. They're so comfortable that you won't want to wear anything else...ever! I have Keep Me tank tops that I wear every day under my clothes...they're that comfortable.

To find out more about Keep Me or purchase the above bra and panty set, check with our blog and twitter to find out about online lingerie boutique launch, specializing in small busted women...we're days away.

In the meantime, it's a whole new year and decade, love your bodies. "Celebrate Your Inner Eve!" My Mom used to say, "The only person that stops you is you." What's keeping you from feeling your best?

Merry Christmas, Lingeristas!

Merry Christmas to all of our dear, Lingeristas!

The following are some Christmas quotes that feel timeless and classic.


"Christmas is the season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart." ~ Washington Irving

"It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air." ~ W.T. Ellis

"Even as an adult I find it difficult to sleep on Christmas Eve. Yuletide excitement is a potent caffeine, no matter your age." ~ Carrie Latet
"Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love!" ~ Hamilton Wright Mabie

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen." ~ Author unknown, attributed to a 7-year-old named Bobby
Images on this post are of Monica, our delightful Eve's Apples lingerie model, who will be gracing our website launching on New Year's Day, January 1, 2010!

Monica showed up to the shoot, wearing an ill-fitting bra and thinking that she was a 36A. After getting her fitted, she was thrilled to see that she's a 32B and looks gorgeous in everything we put her in during the shoot! It wasn't long before she was "Celebrating Her Inner Eve." She looks so spectacular in this red Lucia Plunge Bra (top image) and matching lace boyshorts that I had to send her home in it!

Last year, we had a contest for one lucky winner of this red Lucia bra and panty set by The Little Bra Company. It was the biggest contest turn out still to date! If you like this lingerie set, you can find it on New Year's Day on our new online lingerie boutique dedicated to smaller busted women (bra sizes 28AA - 36B and 32C).

Monica (in the second image) is wearing a white Retro India Bralette by Eberjey. Both panty sets can be found on our lingerie website (http://www.evesappleslingerie.com/) on January 1, 2010.

Have a wonderful holiday, my dear Lingeristas!

Eve's Apples Celebrates Two Years!

As many of you know, Eve's Apples is celebrating our "Two Year Anniversary" today. Two years ago, our first blog posted, fueled by Eve's love of luxurious lingerie. It's been a wonderful time, meeting new people, discovering designers, interviewing lingerie entrepreneurs, and so much more. Now, we're on the verge of launching our new online lingerie boutique. As always, we continue to be dedicated to bringing you, our dear lingeristas, gorgeous lingerie to help you look and feel your best.

In honor of our Two Year Anniversary, we are reposting one of our favorite, most talked about blogs, "Priceless Panties: Mood Lingerie." After all, this is where the inspiration all began.

Enjoy! We look forward to many more years with you!

PRICELESS PANTIES: MOOD LINGERIE

An old boyfriend once told me that nothing is more attractive on a woman than confidence. I say, "Nothing is more attractive than a confident woman in luxurious lingerie."

For me, wearing a beautiful matching bra and panty set in a sumptuous fabric against my skin makes me feel sexy any day. It's never mattered to me whether or not my boyfriends ever knew that I was wearing special lingerie or not, or even if my husband does now. What has mattered all along is that I've known!

The right kind of lingerie will set me up for the day. If there's a day where I feel like hell warmed over, I'll look though my precious, color-coded lingerie drawers only to find my mood lifting. Once I slip the silk over my body, the decision is made. Today is going to be good!

Over the years, I've noticed, that I tend to gravitate towards certain colors and sets based upon my moods. The following is what I've found according to my mood:

Bra Color & Mood

• white = fresh, new beginnings
• black = meow, confident, nothings getting past me today
• red = sexy vixen, sassy, watch out
• pink = sweet, loving, tender, kind
• blue = calm, mellow, steady
• green = grounding
• brown = stylish, serious
• orange = artistic, creative
• flower print = girlie
• stripes = fun-loving, sporty

How I feel about lingerie reminds me of the time I tried on a $250,000 necklace at Tiffany's. The ladies with me were encouraging me to try on the necklace. I thought, "Why? I don't even like diamonds." I begrudgingly tried it on, only to be shocked at how such a small, delicately crafted piece could immediately alter my mood.

Once it was on my neck, I felt it...the feeling can only be described as a symbiotic blend of craftsmanship, beauty, and elegance. And I hadn't even I looked in the mirror yet. I can still feel the light, countless karats effortlessly draping over my collar bone and the polished metal gliding over my skin. It was as if the necklace were made just for me. And when I saw it on myself...well, I don't have to say anymore. It was a priceless experience. In that moment, I finally knew why they say, "Diamonds are a girls best friend."

The right lingerie can have the same mood altering affect. Although, for a lot less money. Whew! Lingerie can make me feel as if this beautiful creation were made just for me. It can enhance parts of my body that I never knew could look like that! What it does for my confidence, even if I'm the only one who knows it, is priceless!

Celebrate Your Inner Eve

As Eve's Apples is coming up on two wonderful years of blogging and "Celebrating Our Inner Eves" readers often send messages asking what exactly it is to "Celebrate Your Inner Eve."

Dear readers, based upon who you are, your background and your beliefs, "Celebrating Your Inner Eve" could mean a variety of things.


To Eve's Apples, celebrating your inner Eve is "to embrace all aspects of yourself, the sweet, the smart, the sassy, the savvy, the seductive with confidence." As women we wear many hats, flipping in and out of roles as wives, girlfriends, mothers, sisters, daughters, leaders, teachers, lovers, bosses, healers, professionals, saints and seductresses. We are all of it, and we are none of it.


We are what we think we are. We are what we project. We are defined by our actions, but, nonetheless, we are not our actions. Confused yet? Welcome to being a woman. Many of us struggle from what society, our family, our friends, our profession deem that we "should" be. What is important is that a woman knows who she is.

Celebrating Your Inner Eve is a right of passage between a being girl and a woman. A woman knows she is a sensual, intelligent, beautiful creature, capable of infinite possibilities, changing roles, all equally glorious and essential in living. "Girls" reach for a superficial perfection of womanhood that is a state of temporary beauty, fading with time, not the beauty within.

How stunning is it to watch a woman like Isabella Rossellini? She is 57 years old, yet to watch her is to watch the embodiment of womanhood and grace in movement. I agree with Choklit (from her blog "Musings from a Lover about Beautiful Things") that Isabella is fearless. In life. In love. In living.

Celebrating is a state of mind. A confidence of self, accepting all aspects that make us whole. To watch Isabella Rossellini on screen, you notice that she doesn't care about her wrinkles or her weight; she exudes a confidence that mesmerizes and seduces everyone in the room. Soon her wrinkles become brush strokes on a painting and her curves are the Venus de Milo. Once you accept all aspects of yourself, you will confidently radiate the gorgeous grace and beauty that lies within.

In other words, my dear, Lingeristas, here's to you Celebrating Your Inner Eve!
