Ladies: Discover the Celebrity Body Shaping Secrets

Introduction

The term ‘control wear’ is a relatively recent one. At one time these garments were called stays then corsets or girdles. The word ‘corset’ has old fashioned connotations so no doubt with modern materials and technology there is a need to find new ways to modernise the concept of body control garments. It seems quite clever to me to find such a good generic word to describe something which is a delicate subject (even unmentionable) and at the same time to promote such garments so that they become fashionable and popular. Somehow the term ‘control wear’ gives the right emphasis and explains exactly what it does.

Desirable silhouettes

Every culture has its idea of the ideal figure for a woman, and all the women belonging to that culture will try to fulfil this ideal regardless of their natural propensity. Who determines how the perfect woman should look is debatable, but there is no doubt it is part of the mating ritual so that men will find a woman desirable and want to have her for his mate. Different cultures have different ideas of beauty and some cultures like their women fat, others like them thin. Sometimes it’s colour of hair or eyes, other times it’s body fitness, long legs, long necks or wide hips, but usually it’s the myth (often unconscious) that certain shapes, styles or colour will indicate the healthiest women for child bearing in order to fulfil our biological purpose to perpetuate the species.

When you look back through the centuries at the different styles of dress it becomes obvious that extremes of fashion usually appear at a time of affluence and leisure. It was only the very rich who could afford such luxuries of extreme styles. The poor had to make do with whatever they could find, or make themselves, to cover their bodies for warmth and decency. During times of hardship the styles became more practical and less elaborate. After the First World War some progressive women shocked the world by wearing bloomer like trousers when riding the new contraption called a bicycle.

In some ways things have not changed much today. The famous and wealthy spend an inordinate amount of time and money on what they wear and the way they look and aim to create an image of the perfect male or female form for the rest of us to emulate. To that end they go on diets, have surgery or inject Botox, spend time with personal trainers and work out etc. As well as all that they find a need to resort to control wear to make sure there are no bulges or creases to mar their perfect form.When I was a very skinny teenager, Marilyn Monroe and Jane Mansfield were the models for female perfection with large breasts and small waists. I had the small waist but that was about all. Later along came Twiggy with her thin body and legs and I would have been the required shape but alas by then I had produced three children and could now emulate the previous models.

Women use shapewear items to good effect to improve their silhouette.

History of Control Wear and Body Shaping Forms

Throughout history there seems to have been a need to change the female form or to modify it in some way. If you look back to the Elizabethan times, their huge wide skirts and flat fronts made women look like cardboard cut-outs. The skirts were so wide they would have to turn sideways to pass through doorways. Later there came differing amounts of bust enhancement, hip or bottom enhancement, waist constriction and wide skirts, as well as all the many variations in sleeve styles, neckline and collars, overskirts, underskirts, I could go on forever.Changing the body line seems to have been an obsession from the mid 16th century

The earliest known control wear appearing during the 16th Century were called ‘pavre of bodies’ which contained the upper torso in the shape of a cone or cylinder. These forms later became the more familiar ‘stays’ which were made of wood or whale bone. The idea was to compress the front of the body and in doing so push up the breasts so they bulged out of the top of the bodice. During one phase of the more promiscuous 18th century period, the nipples were encouraged to peep out, no doubt to titillate the male desire. Illegitimate babies were the norm and not treated as disgraceful during this time.

Stays were considered an essential item to keep the figure straight by supporting the back, tightening the midriff and improving posture. The restriction at the waist prevented bending and forced women to use their legs for lifting and thereby protecting their backs. Stays survived until the late 18th century when the empire style became into fashion around 1796. The bust was contained and pushed up by short stays and the waist line was just below the bust so that the natural waist line was hidden

When the waistline returned to its natural position the body restriction reappeared in the 1830’s. And the term ‘corset’ was used for the first time in English. Its purpose was to cinch the waist and support the breasts. During Victorian times the ideal form was an 18 inch waist with a full wide skirt supported by hoops to the floor. Ankles could not be seen and busts were emphasised but covered with lace for modesty. The shape I guess was determined by the natural figure of the young Victoria but exaggerated to create a fashion. To obtain this line the women forced themselves into whalebone corsets which were long, extending down beyond the natural waist line thus resulting in serious body-shaping. They were laced at the back therefore a maid was required to fasten the laces as they could not dress or undress themselves. To produce a tiny waist some women would have the corset pulled so tight they could hardly breathe. This then pushed the breasts upwards and compressed the internal organs.

During this period fainting was an art and it came easily when there was no room to breathe and everything else was squashed; added to that, the night air was considered bad for your health, so evening events became hot and stuffy. As a result dancing could cause women in the most robust health to feel lightheaded so it’s not surprising women appeared to suffer from indifferent health. Choosing the correct body shapers for your particular figure can literally make or break that special outfit.

During the Edwardian period at the beginning of the 1900’s the Victorian style was replaced by the new look shaped profile. The bosom was raised and large, the waist small with a large bustle at the back to create a completely unrealistic female shape. The front of the skirt went straight down to the feet and there were many flounces tiered down from the back often with trains for formal occasions which had to be picked up and held whilst walking or dancing. Later to build on this shape, leg-o-mutton sleeves were added for day wear; although for evenings low necklines and short capped sleeves were the norm. These elaborate dresses cost thousands of pounds in today’s money so that again only the prosperous could dress in this way. The average woman had to make do with home-made copies or just plain gather skirts and plain bodices.

What is Wrong with our Natural Shape?

When you see the pictures by Degas of ladies bathing you will see that they are well rounded with tummies, big bottoms and legs probably with cellulite and well developed breasts. Very few of the women would be under a UK size 16. They still wore stays but mostly I suspect it was to support the breasts rather than reduce the thighs and hips. Gok in his TV programme ‘How to Look Good Naked’ encourages women to be positive about their bodies and focuses on choosing the right clothes to accentuate their best features. His success lies in the fact that after they have gone through this transformation, the women all feel much more confident and happy with the way they are.

However choosing the right foundation garments is essential to improve posture and create a smooth line to provide a good basis to make the most of the clothes that are placed on top.Women were designed the way they are for a reason, why should we go to so much trouble to change what is natural?

Modern Control Wear - What Spanx can do for you

Modern control wear offers women the option of support and clean lines, without the restriction of movement experienced with the old fashioned corset. Spanx power panties seem to be the latest rage in control wear these days. I have not actually had the pleasure myself but I remember a friend saying to me last year ‘Power Panties are wonderful’. Old fashioned corsets are still worn by some people but gradually as the younger generation feel the need for some form of support they are looking to the more modern control wear used by celebrities such as Gwenyth Paltrow, Oprah Winfrey, Kylie Minogue and even Madonna. Sarah Blakely the founder of Spanx could not find footless pantyhose to go with her cream trouser and open toed shoes. In her frustration she set out to tackle the 2 billion dollar hosiery industry. Within 2 years she had perfected a product that combined all the elements women love about underwear and changing all the elements they don’t like to provide a comfortable slim-line look with no VPL (Visible Panty Line). She started an underwear revolution selling 50,000 of her Power Panties in the first three months and revolutionised an industry that was in a ten year slump. Spanx Power Panties have put underwear back where it belongs and changed control wear forever.

Basques - Corsets on the Outside

In the more recent years of control wear there appeared a fashion accessory modelled on the old fashioned style corset but worn on the outside of the clothing. It seemed designed to show off the slim torso and enhance the breasts by lifting them. These were usually worn over a flimsy blouse type top, and were fashionable over the Christmas party period. The bodice was boned and came to a point at the front just below the waist. It could be worn with a skirt or even over trousers. You will not see women wearing basques for normal everyday wear and going to the shops.

This style of corset is still available as underwear and is known as a ‘corset basque’ or a ‘busk’ and is reminiscent of the dress bodices seen in cowboy films worn by ‘the heart of gold’ hostess at the town’s hotel saloon. They are boned and shaped to create the traditional hour glass figure and are similar to the Victorian corset. Some are laced at the back but with no maids, very difficult to do up. There are high cut legs and longer lines, often with suspenders so create that popular striper-gram look. The Basque corset is often seen in shops selling erotica or Gothic fashions.

Some essential points to consider when wearing control wear are:- uplifting pants will firm the bottom; Padded bra’s will enhance the breasts; a padded plunge gives a great cleavage; corsets and waist nippers will take inches off the waist but most importantly, if flesh should escape at waist or thigh it means your control wear is too tight.A good basic outline will enhance any clothes that are worn whatever the occasion.

Conclusion

When you look at the history of fashion it seems that women are never happy with the shape they were born with. Today more than in any other time in history we are allowed to have a more normal shape, but even that has to be contained, smoothed, uplifted or cinched to make the female body more than perfect.There are now several programmes on TV which are promoting the message that natural is good and we are fine the way we are. A little enhancement here and there to make the most of the assets you have is as much as you need to do. It is reported that men in general prefer women to look real which for them is sexier than the extravaganza women think men want. Obviously they have their preferences for type and size and shape, but we can’t be all things to all men and the sooner women realise that, the more comfortable they are going to be.

Since the appearance of Power Pants control wear lingerie has been transformed. Sarah Blakely has been described as the Pied Piper of the ‘wobbly bits brigade’ and her success has reached £250 million in global sales in the last year. Her products have become ‘the control wear to have’ and are worn by all the ‘best people’. There is a stigma for men wearing control wear so that they will not go out and buy such an item but wives and girlfriends are doing it for them. Manx the male version of Spanx is available on line and is promoted as a back support while playing golf, being good for posture and long car journeys. Once enough male celebrities admit to using control wear the rest of the world will follow.

At the end of the day we all want to look our best and if that means wearing a control wear garment that is what people will do. People both men and women want to be liked and admired and all the fashion contortions are just to fulfil our dreams of being the chosen one, the most beautiful or most popular. So however much we might like to believe we don’t need these gimmicks, we all pay homage to them in one way or another.

The Probable Causes of Tinnitus and How You Can Ease the Ringing in Your Ears.

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

As I’m sure you’re aware the ringing in your ears is highly provoking and I am certain that you want to heal it as soon as possible. The causes of high pitch tinnitus are abundant, but their are some reasons that are more common than others for experiencing these insane noises in your ears. These are some of the commonest reasons that you could be experiencing this phenomenon.

If you work at a factory then you’re exposed to these loud pitches on your ears. Sadly most of us can’t afford to give up their job simply because it is an example of the causes of high pitch tinnitus. What you can do is get some quality ear plugs as this should reduce your exposure to these noises and hopefully curb your tinnitus. Another reason that you will have this type of tinnitus is that you show yourself to concerts, shooting guns, or other kinds of sudden, high pitch noises.

Whilst this is similar to the above reason, it’s a small different because you can control this. The very first thing that I suggest is for you to do as much as you potentially can to avoid putting yourself in these situations. Just avoiding such situations will make your tinnitus much more manageable. Did you know that stress is frequently times related to tinnitus? In reality it is one of the leading causes of high pitch tinnitus. The fact of the problem is that stress can cause a selection of issues, and it is not atypical for stress to be linked to the ringing or buzzing in your ears. What I suggest is that you try to discover a natural and proven remedy for tinnitus because whilst these methods are really effective, the medical alternatives often have negative side effects.

It is estimated by the American Tinnitus organisation that roughly 50,000,000 folks have experienced a ringing in the ear some time in their life. At times, someone may experience a slight ringing or humming in their ear, if the ringing or humming becomes constant for a good length of time then this may be an indication that you have Tinnitus. This should not be considered as a disease but instead a symptom that may be the result of nerve damage caused to the inner ear. Tinnitus might be heard in a variety of different noises. To some it could be whistling, chirping, hissing, humming, humming, roaring and of course ringing.

The symptom may be heard in one ear or both and may change in pitch from low, medium to high. It might also be a continuous sound or come and go intermittently. Ear ringing causes may be attached to a variety of issues. It may be a consequence of continued exposure to loud noises, loss of hearing, head and neck wounds or temporomandibular joint disorder (jaw). Other major but common ear ringing causes are allergies and drugs including aspirin. Rarely, a much more serious reason for Tinnitus is a tumor which may be possible if the ringing in ear is found to be located exclusively in one ear.

Another form of Tinnitus is known as pulsatile tinnitus which is when somebody can hear their own heart beat in their ears. This sort could be linked to high blood pressure, vascular disease or tumors and is also frequently found in people with allergies. If you have or are experiencing any of the mentioned symptoms of Tinnitus it’s important that you first visit your doctor. There are a many Tinnitus remedies available to stop ringing in ears that is advised. be recommended.

Some strategies include hearing assists, drug care, masking devices and even stress therapy. However, there is now a tinnitus natural remedy available that will dramatically reduce and even stop ringing in ears.

The information found here is for researching purposes only. No medical advice is meant. As with any condition it is advisabale to talk with a doctor when considering medical advice.

Lock Bumping

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Lockbumping is a method of entry using an adapted key that is placed in a cylinder lock pulled back 1 notch or click, Then struck firmly with a reasonably heavy object such as a small hammer or screw driver or even a purpose made hammer that can be purchased from many sites on the internet

Unfortunately Bump keys; Hammers and even training aids are available for a very small outlay. Whilst doing a survey I discovered that throughout the World there were over 2,000000 sites at that time on lock bumping Im sure not all bad ? Lockbumping has been around for about 70 years but kept in the Locksmithing world but as good as the Internet is it also passes on information that is not so good and the wrong information in the wrong hands spells trouble.

It is possible to purchase bump keys from many sites as well as learning how to make the keys. Most countries have a pin tumbler lock of some shape and these are all bumpable. Garage locks. Bullet locks (shutters) Front doors Backdoors some Padlocks, Rim latches (Night latches). Conservatories even some sheds.

Lots of new composite doors are fitted with anti bumping locks to prevents this. The composite door is a very good answer to the problem but composite front doors do come at a price.

Lock Bumping first came over from the US and has spread into Europe and has been there for a number of years. There are some lock enthusiasts clubs were bumping is a sport and members spend there evenings timing each other at lock bumping, But that is not where it stops. If you go onto the Internet and put Lock bumping all information is available and the opportunist thief is fully equipped after a little training; at this time there are 1,340.000 sites

It is very hard to determine if your house has been broken into via this method because of the lack of forensics IE no damage no prints and your goods are still gone, Then of course you get the problems with the insurance companies refusing to payout because there is no forensic evidence.

The Police Service have only recently been able to state that maybe the break-in could have been due to bumping and the door not left open, Again the forensics problem.

We know that the Police Services in the US Australia Canada & Europe acknowledge this method of entry and there have been a number of TV programmes making the public aware of this potential threat. However not in the UK.
