Lingerie models, like rich people, are not like you and me.

Once again, Oh Baby lingerie boutique is inviting you to explore the world of corsetry. Historically (pun intended) I've always associated modern corset wearing with Renaissance Fair enthusiasts and other fringe-y cultures that are essentially twice-removed Dungeons & Dragons fans (not that there's anything wrong with that, up with geeks, etc). Last year I attended the event at Oh Baby, and tried on a beautiful, simple black corset from Vollers (my first time!) and just kind of hung out in the store wearing it (and, er, drank cognac). I still can't fully imagine wearing a corset as outerwear, but I loved the shape the corset gave me (and hello, posture), and I thought that, if I had the money to throw around on it, it would be supremely awesome to have a skirt suit custom made to fit over my corseted frame. Vollers is featured again this year, which is really so far removed from any costume-y, tacky corset you've encountered--totally glam--as well as Isabella Corsetry, a New Orleans company that's only been around for four years (compare that with Vollers' 1899 founding). If you're already a corset initiate, wear it for 10% off your corset purchase, a discount you can also confer onto a friend you bring along. If you've ever been curious about corsets, this is an ideal way to experiment. It all goes down this evening, from 6:30-8:30 pm...
Okay, so how is this going to work again?
Boy oh boy oh boy oh baby boy!

so, portland, i have a potbelly and i slouch. i have worn spanx high waisted thingaroos and donna karan power panties (i cringe at the nomenclature, but they WORK DAMN IT). do any of you wear any more old school shape wear, specifically for the tummy? or just something different? i want stuff i can wear all day, most days, not just for a couple hours on a special occasion. oh baby on broadway carries one line of retro-y girdles, but it's not really what i'm looking for-- i want something that doesn't just look pretty. (it can look pretty. nothing against that.) i know very little about girdles/corsets/whatever and have no desire to wear them not-under-clothes. what works, what doesn't and where do you ladies and gentlemen buy it/have it made locally? bonus points for stuff that helps with posture. i don't want to shop online for this kinda stuff. department stores frighten me.
