     Handcuffed Woman Freed in Lingerie Shop 
LONDON - A woman who slipped into an erotic lingerie store to look around drew far more attention than she intended when her hands got stuck in sexy handcuffs and she had to be rescued by firefighters. 
A crowd gathered to watch the fire crew free the embarrassed shopper from the police-style cuffs with a hacksaw, Sarah Nosec, an assistant at the Ann Summers store in Wolverhampton, central England, said Monday.    Nosec said the unidentified woman was in the store in the city's central plaza on Saturday with two friends when she began trying on the handcuffs.    "People mess about all the time with the handcuffs and they jammed," she said. "We tried everything to get them off, but we couldn't, so we had to get the fire brigade out to saw them off. She was very embarrassed." 
The West Midlands Fire Service said it sent out an entire crew to deal with the emergency. 
"I think there was about six firefighters in the shop and they all wanted to come along as it was the highlight of their day," Nosec said.

    Miller Lite's 'Catfight' ad angers some viewers
Beermakers have been criticized for ''beer and babes'' ads that depict women as sexual objects. But a new Miller Brewing TV spot is being compared to some of the most notorious beer ads of the past, such as Old Milwaukee's ''Swedish Bikini Team.'' 
The Miller Lite commercial, called ''Catfight,'' goes from a poolside argument into an angry, clothes-shredding, wrestling match between two women who end up in bras and panties. The ad has been broadcast to millions of homes during National Football League playoff games.
The controversial spot has angered some TV viewers -- 200 of whom have e-mailed their displeasure to the Milwaukee brewer.
  
 'Every time I see it, I cringe,'' says Laura Ries, an image guru. ''It's explicit. It's degrading. It has no real message, except all men are idiots and all they think about are girls mud wrestling.''
The buzz about the in-your-face spot keeps growing: CNN's Crossfire debated it last week. Stuff magazine wants to shoot a photo layout of the ad's stars.
Miller executives say the spot is a hit with its target audience: 21-to-31-year-old beer drinkers. ''They see it for what it is: a hysterical insight into guys' mentality,'' says Tom Bick, Miller Lite brand manager. ''It's really a lighthearted spoof of guys' fantasies.''
The ad starts with two beautiful women turning the classic Miller Lite debate of ''tastes great, less filling'' into a brawl. They fall into a pool while ripping each other's clothes off and end up wrestling in a pit filled with concrete.
The ad cuts to a bar. It turns out the catfight was the fantasy of two guys as their idea of a great ad. A cable version of the ad ends with the brunette saying to the blonde: ''Let's make out.''
Miller has received 400 e-mails, with the debate running 50-50 for and against, says Miller Lite spokesman Ron Acosta. Most of the complaints are from over-40 married women with families.

An elderly gent was invited to his old friends' home for dinner one
evening.
He was impressed by the way his buddy preceded every request 
to his wife with endearing terms-- Honey, My Love, Darling, 
Sweetheart, Pumpkin etc.
The couple had been married almost 70 years and, clearly, 
they were still very much in love.
While the wife was in the kitchen, the man leaned over and said 
to his host, "I think it's wonderful that, after all these years, you 
still call your wife those loving pet names."
The old man hung his head. "I have to tell you the truth," he
said, "I forgot her name about 10 years ago.....

      Will the New British Airways Look Fly?
Julien Macdonald's design for the uniforms of British Airways' 30,000 employees has finally been unveiled. Starting this week, 100 stylin' staff members, from check-in agents to cabin and flight crew (Concorde included), will begin testing the new looks. 
The 50 men and 50 women - only one of whom is U.S-based, hailing from Philadelphia - are spread out around the world, in an effort to see how well the new uniforms work in different climates.
"Our uniform is one of the most powerful symbols of the British Airways brand and it is important that it is worn with pride by our people both on the ground and in the air," said Martin George, British Airways' director of marketing. "The wearer trials represent a vital part of the new uniform's development -- giving our people the chance to test how comfortable and practical it is and give us their valuable feedback."
When British Airways' collaboration with Macdonald was first revealed in May 2001, the designer declared, "I want to bring glamour back to travel. The girls will look very sexy and the men will look like strong heroes." The Transport and General Workers Union immediately voiced its concerns about the new image, warning, "our members should not be dressed as sex objects.

                           by Ritika Ramtri Kumar
                          FOR AN HOURGLASS FIGURE
If you are one of those who would like an hourglass figure and appear slimmer, a corset maybe your answer. The history of corsets goes back many, many years. The desire to reduce the waist and exaggerate the body's natural
curves first appeared in Minoan times, about 1700 BC and then re-emerged during the Renaissance period 15th century, continuing through the Victorian age.
Today, the love and fascination of corsets continues to rise. 
Corsets are flourishing in Hollywood films and are currently being paraded down catwalks as one of the latest fashion trends. They're worn as eveningwear by some, but that is carrying it too far because lets not forget that corsets are not tops.
There is nothing however more feminine and appealing than the hourglass silhouette of a woman.
Most women enjoy the confidence and sensuality they experience when a beautiful lacy corset enhances their figure. Corsets have thus proven to be both intimate and erotic. So how does one choose a corset? If the corset is cut to under the bust line, it will have a much more natural silhouette under clothes. 
The most practical and flattering corset is an under bust corset - in the century or pointed century style.  Over bust corsets are nice, too, but not as versatile, or flexible. Under the bust corsets do not support the bust, as they stop below it. Cotton or brocade corsets are a good choice.
Remember each corset has its own special character, just as every woman is a special and individual person.  the most convenient way of manufacturing corsets is to make them to measure. This production method is a guarantee  for perfect fit and utmost comfort. 
As an alternative there are also ready-to-wear corsets available. They don't have the same perfect fit as made-to-measure corsets, but they are considerably cheaper, they can be delivered much faster and they are sufficient for beginners (as they need several corsets in the course of becoming accustomed to corsets and to a certain target waist measurement).
For a foolproof corset go in for a basic color that will go well with
clothes already in your wardrobe.  Corsets are great over or 
under stretch dresses, and clothing with basic lines. So how 
does one wear them you may wonder. 
Most corsets lace in the back, and you can put it on yourself. 
Reach behind you and catch the loop in the center of each back
piece with your thumb or forefinger. Pull those loops 
(at your waist) to cinch the corset.
When you have some loose ribbon, tie a half knot, and when 
you have pulled the laces tight, tie them with a bow.  The corset 
will fit to your body, feeling like a snug hug.  It will slim and 
smooth, without poking.
Take care of your corset in order to make it last. 
Wearing something under your corset is the best way to insure 
a lasting piece. 
A corset should not be worn every day. 
Corsets are made with very flexible and durable metal boning,
 similar to bra wires, but the more fully encased in the fabric 
so they will not poke you. For that reason, do not wash them
 in a washing machine. If they must be cleaned, please take to
 a dry cleaner or spot clean them with cool water, or gently and infrequently hand wash in cold and air dry (cotton or brocade only). Between wearing's, air them out a bit and store in a clean dry place. 
So now that you've got all the information you need go right 
ahead and stun everyone with your curves.
