Sinful Sunday: Lingerie Is For Everyone!

For the last 52 weeks, the super-talented writer and blogger Violet Fawkes has been running a very sexy (and important) weekly photo meme called ‘Lingerie Is For Everyone’.

Until today, I hadn’t participated in ‘LIFE’, but I’ve hugely enjoyed checking out the various contributions. Violet runs the project with such typical generosity of spirit that she manages to attract and inspire images that range from high art to downright filth, accompanied by words that underscore how important the meme’s basic principle is to those who take part.

Because lingerie is for everyone. Regardless of gender, regardless of age, and regardless of whether you’re wearing it, looking at it, buying it for someone else, or stuffing it in their mouth as you fuck them, we can all benefit from having well-made, stylish underwear in our lives. It can be empowering too: body positivity can be a challenge for many of us, and I know so many people for whom decent lingerie has provided a huge boost in that respect.

For Christmas this year, I bought Liv a couple of pairs of knickers that I thought would look good on her (that she’d look good in too, but then she looks good in everything). One pair still had the tags on this afternoon, so before Liv wears them I thought I’d see whether they look good on me too.

I’ll let other people answer that question, but for now here’s my first contribution to Violet’s excellent meme – and not my last, I’m sure. Happy 1st birthday, ‘Lingerie Is For Everyone’!
