In honor of the upcoming Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and Thong Thursday, I bring to you a post dedicated to lingerie. (Note my reference to White Houses by Vanessa Carlton. Great song.)

While all lingerie is suppose to be sexy, I believe they also fall into the categories of classy and kinky. Classy lingerie, as often donned by Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf (above), exudes a delicate balance between sensuality and innocence. Kinky lingerie–think burlesque dancer–daringly borderlines trashiness in a scandalous and thrilling nature. To maintain a sense of decency for [the3st], our focus will remain on classy lingerie.
