The Lingerie Smackdown

My mother-in-law giving me the Victoria's Secret coupon dredged up the old lingerie with pockets that just so happens to now be a very sore spot with my husband.

I mean, aside from the fact that the thing has two pretty large pockets, it's actually pretty nice.

But apparently, my online jesting has made it look more like a stinky gorilla suit rather than a sexy lacy number, at least to him anyway.

So I decided to surprise him and go purchase the item that lost out to the pockets. He later explained that it was between the pockets and this other item, and after hearing what it looked like, I sort of chastised him a bit for not buying that one.

It happens to be a french maid inspired ensemble.

Pretty cute, right?

[You didn't think I would post that, now did you? I blame the Imperfect Parents for this little dare].

But wouldn't you know, I looked down and what did I see?

 

Yep. That's right. Pockets. A couple of fucking pockets!

So what do you think? Which was the better choice?

 

Place your votes. There's a pretty big bet riding on this.

Very nice style of lingerie, I like it on you.

[Round and Brown]

Nothing like a white or black lingerie, the one in the picture is also quite delicious, and so the girl.

Thank you Amy for your message. :-) We seem to have our mojo back for right now. It took a yelling match on Christmas eve (at my sisters) to make him realize that I should not have to be the only one putting any effort into this marriage. I am now being covered in kisses, hugs and our sex life is no longer all about him. I am aware of the ebb and flow but this was more of dead end street that I kept driving down hoping it would lead somewhere nice. I guess my husband just needed to be reminded that I am a person as well and have needs of my own.

[`Amy]

First of all, I love the one he got you, ESP. because of the pockets!

Second, I just wanted to tell Bobbie that you totally touched my heart! NO -- YOU ARE NOT DISGUSTING. I can tell from your post that you are witty, funny, self-deprecating and thoughtful. (Okay, that's a lot to get from one post, but whatever.) All I can say is that these things do ebb and flow and I don't know how to make it happen, but I wish you all the best!!!

[Kate @ And Then I Was a Mom]

You depress me. Or at least your figure does. But I'll still read your blog.

Go for the French maid. No contest.

[muskrat]

The one on the right is better. And, your arms look better in that picture (probably bc of the pushups).

[EmmaK]

the pockets look bad on the french maid outfit...but might be useful for holding condoms or a tiny magic wand vibrator

[Tia]

i like them both! i think the other one (stinky gorilla suit lol) is prettier and more classy though. i bet he just wanted to see you in a french maid outfit :)

[Cody]

K--I like both but I do vote on the 1st--thoughts from the heart! ;) Plus, I'm watching "Kendra" on E it's her Bridal Shower--and Bridgette is (I SWEAR!) wearing the maid inspired outfit right now! So funny, what a coincidence!

[MDTaz]

I live in France, and I've seen plenty of maids. And none of them look as delicious as you.

And tell him to get over the part about the pockets. Pockets are just a protocol. If you pass the pocket test, then anything can happen...

[kevin]

I have to agree with MFLEIJ. Give hubby the credit he deserves for putting thought into a gift.
I on the other hand have the opposite problem of Bobbie. Buying the Wife lingerie is a waste of $$. And I have tried letting her know that I appreciate her, find her sexy, stepped up on household chores, taking care of children, getting up in the middle of the night, thoughtful gifts, expensive jewelry, etc. etc. with little result. I am amazed when women complain that their men aren't interested. I assume that marriage is more like mine where the libido was tossed with the last placenta.
Still, no sex aside, Wife is a great mother and my best friend. Bedroom aerobics aside, I have hit the home run with my partner.

I like the French Maid one, mostly because I like the side cut-out look - really emphasizes the curve of the waistline. :)

Also, yeah, you're way hot. I'm jealous.

[Stella]

No doubt, French Maid.

[julie @ Mommy Said What?]

I voted for the first option (the one the husband bought), and was surprised to be in the minority. Of course, they do both look great....

[Secretia]

And You look great in it too!

[mom-101]

Tiger Woods would tooootally do you in either.

[A Vapid Blonde]

French made..hands down! (or hands in pockets)

[MFLEIJ]

I have to say that I think your hubby made a great choice when he purchased that one. It seems like he had you in mind. Now that french maid one is hoTT but 10 pounds ago would you have wanted to wear it? It's something that looks great on the flat abs you now have but I think you would have felt a bit self-conscious in it before. Now you look great in both photos but the more Shred you do the better you get and you are much more toned and slimmed out in the french maid vs. the first photo. I really think that your hubby did a great job trying to give you something that you didn't have to squeeze into or worry about anything hanging out of this or that. I think he deserves a pat on the back for being thoughtful.

Please don't think I'm saying anything bad about you or your body. I'm totally not. I'm very plus sized and couldn't fit one of those outfits onto one of my legs. I'm just making a comment on how much you have improved from the first to the second photo and that maybe you wouldn't have felt so 'sexy' in the french maid outfit at the time of the first photo. Just my opinion :)

You're the best!

[TheFeministBreeder]

Okay, at least a French Maid has USE for some pockets. She's got cleaning supplies and whatnot to cart around. The other thing? Yeah, looks like somebody thought that whoo-ahs needed someplace to stuff their crack and dollar bills. ;)

[Naomi]

French Maid! Totally. At least the pockets are cute on that one and you can pretend you're Catherine Deneuve in Belle du Jour.

[Kirsty]

Have to say that, although you look great, I really don't like the French maid thing at all (I'm not into the dressing up stuff). Despite the pockets, the first one looks much sexier and cuter to me.
Not that it makes much difference, I'm way too self-conscious about my flabby midsection to wear either, and my husband probably wouldn't even notice anyway.

[Kayt]

First, wow! Both look good on you. Second, all over the Frenchy one. At least those pockets aren't actually useful, they're just decoration. And since they're on a French maid outfit, they make sense!

[Bobbie]

French maid!! You look great! Makes me want to stop eating so I can look like that.

I was unable to post a comment to your last blog post. :-( I seem to be always in the middle of laundry, child caring or trying to get my husband to take interest in me over the t.v or his laptop when all the good things happen. Really could use your book here. I know I have put on weight but really I can not be that disgusting can I?

On a side note....How do I get my husband to be more affectionate? How do we get our intimacy back? I am starting to feel like we have lost all our good mojo here. Do I really have to fucking spell it out for him more then I already have. Do I really, once again have to do all the work? As you can probably tell this is something "we" have discussed before. When will he ever get that he is a man and needs to take charge some times. I also have spent a bunch of money on books and toys. Nothing! He wont even pick up the books. I on the other hand have learned a ton on oral sex and can now give head like a porn star which of coarse his is great full for. When is it my turn to get off? When will I be first here? Although I guess your book will most likely not help him. Starting to think he is a lost cause. :-(

[Michelle]

french maid because at least the pockets kinda make sense.. and I agree you look great!

[hollygee]

You look great, but do I have to choose between those two? Don't they make anything pretty and hawt?

[prescott]

Wait, am I supposed to like vote or something? To be honest, I didn't really get to any of the text.

[Danielle]

Personally I go for the french maidish one. And seriously? 3 kids? Looking mighty fine!

[psumommy]

I've gotta say that I like the one your hubby chose first better! And also- you're looking HAWT, mama! Go you!

[Bill]

Good lord, woman - you are HOT!
