Do you own an apron? Do you use it while BBQ-ing or baking?
dievca has never owned one. she’s not sure of what she is missing Her friends have laughed at her and asked what she does for dinner parties. she cooks, changes, and hopes for the best afterward.
What about an Apron as a D/s Presentation Outfit?
Hmm, could be interesting but one might need to be careful when sitting or leaning against the countertop.
dievca found the apron she wants:
The RE/DONE | Levi’s Denim Apron is created from scraps of vintage Levi’s, reducing production waste and creating functional, machine washable, and collectible kitchen-wear. Each apron is upcycled using a waterless process from unique vintage materials and is completely one-of-a-kind.
The shades of indigo will differ from the product image due to each item being one-of-a-kind. Twenty percent of sales will be donated to the Restaurant Workers’ Community Foundation. RE/done
O Thou who passest thro’ our vallies in
Thy strength, curb thy fierce steeds, allay the heat
That flames from their large nostrils! thou, O Summer,
Oft pitched’st here thy golden tent, and oft
Beneath our oaks hast slept, while we beheld
With joy, thy ruddy limbs and flourishing hair.
Beneath our thickest shades we oft have heard
Thy voice, when noon upon his fervid car
Rode o’er the deep of heaven; beside our springs
Sit down, and in our mossy vallies, on
Some bank beside a river clear, throw thy
Silk draperies off, and rush into the stream:
Our vallies love the Summer in his pride.
Our bards are fam’d who strike the silver wire:
Our youth are bolder than the southern swains:
Our maidens fairer in the sprightly dance:
We lack not songs, nor instruments of joy,
Nor echoes sweet, nor waters clear as heaven,
Nor laurel wreaths against the sultry heat.
Coco de Mer Paradiseus Slip Anthracite (click photo)
Allow anthracite lace to envelop your curves in the Paradiseus Slip. Whisper soft silk covers and supports your breasts, overlapped by the deep eyelash scallop of the Paradiseus lace. The lace continues down the rest of the silhouette, adorning the body in intricately detailed decoration.
Breathtaking cascades of hand-beaded gold glass trailing fringe beads and pearls drench the body with pure decadence in the Cassiopeia gold beaded robe; with all seams luxuriously bound in gold silk. Worn alone, the sheer tulle beneath offers glimpses of the skin, or pair with either black or almond silk lining robes to create a more opaque finish. The luxurious beaded robe could also be worn over a simple evening dress for a jaw-dropping outerwear look.
The one review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Completely Decadent!
This robe is the most decadent, fabulous thing I own! It’s even more beautiful in person, dripping with strings of glistening gold beads made for twirling.
Fit-wise the size M is the same as the other H&F robes I own. The color of the beads is a lovely soft gold with pearls at the end. The beads are securely sewn on individually to the tulle base. I imagine styling it over both lingerie and as outerwear over a cream jumpsuit for a winter white ensemble for the ballet.

dievca was doing a search for silk jersey lingerie. Silk jersey is delicate, smooth, and softer than a t-shirt, the weave of silk jersey allows it to stretch gently like normal cotton underwear. However, silk has optimal air permeability over cotton and most other fibers. It has a luster and demure sophistication.
During the search, dievca ran into Erica Waddell’s Etsy site for custom clothing including lingerie. The site offers an option to choose your type of silk jersey panties – so which type is best?
9 Essential Underwear Every Woman Should Own & What To Wear Them With
Just as a strapless bra is essential when you’re wearing a summer tube dress, seamless underwear is important when you’re wearing a pencil skirt. Here are some suggestions for different types of underwear and what you should pair them with:
1. Boy Shorts
Inspired by men’s boxers, boy shorts tend to be comfortable. They are functional and can be worn with skirts, as well as flared dresses.
2. Classic Briefs
These are regular underwear. The ones you buy in a pack of three or five. You can pair them with almost anything as long as your outfit is not body-hugging because then your panty lines would be on display. Wear with a pleated skirts or jeans.
3. Hipsters
These panties are low-rise and have wide coverage on the sides. They go with almost everything. So make sure you have more than just a couple of them. Wear them with pants and low-waisted jeans.
4. Thongs
Nothing says sexy like thongs do. They’re the perfect underwear type for outfits where the bump of your panty line can ruin the line. Wear a thong with pencil skirts and bodycon dresses.
5. French-Cut Panties
Also known as high-cut panties, these are very 1980s retro. They have a high cut on the leg holes, which makes them better for circulation from the regular ones. They go superbly well with high-waist jeans
6. G-String
They’re very similar to thongs, but these have absolutely no coverage. They’re meant for times when you would like to go commando, but then you would also like some sort of coverage. A little getting used to is required to be perfectly comfortable with this type. Wear with leggings and bodycon dresses.
7. Control Briefs
These are super comfortable and all about functionality. They come with a tight elastic waistband to keep your excess in. They help with bodycon dresses and high waist jeans.
8. Seamless
This is one type of panty that everyone should keep on hand. They don’t have stitching on them, making them perfect for every type of dress. Good with pants and sheer dresses.
9. Brazilian Briefs
They have the qualities of both a hipster and a thong. And they are just what you need when you’re vacationing on the beach. Wear them with shorts or a sarong.
Hmm-tough to make a decision….boy shorts, hipsters, briefs or Grannies!
Memorial Day originally honored military personnel who died in the American Civil War (1861-1865). The holiday now honors those who died in any war while serving with the United States. It is also called Decoration Day.

dievca has two European friends who’s families have memories of American Paratroopers and a shot down plane crew coming down in their yards during WWII. One in the Netherlands and one in Italy. The families still think of those soldiers – especially the Italian family because of the simple sharing of chewing gum.
What happened to the silk, nylon, and canvas from those contraptions that helped people fall from the sky?
It was repurposed and became shrouds, slings, bandages, hammocks, undergarments, Wedding dresses, purses, clothing, quilts – anything and everything in a needy time at a needy place.

Contemporary and classic all at once, the CAGE BRA has additional straps that form a pattern resembling a cage, either in the front or back or both sides.. It looks fantastic on any size bust because it appears to give ample support to any cup size. Caged bras look awesome on goth girls, bondage mistresses, and fans of Fifty Shades of Grey. Conversely, those who prefer a more traditionally feminine style can rock a caged bra when they fancy flaunting an edgy look.
Despite its name, wearing a cage bra doesn’t mean you’re locking up your bust. The cage bra gets its name from multiple straps that spread above or below the cups for an elegant look. Coverage: Cage bras vary in coverage, but usually they favor showing off your curves and sexy cleavage rather than full coverage.

The Miracle of Lycra Spandex- Fairy Godmother to Women Everywhere. Invented in 1959 it wasn’t until 1962 until the full scale manufacturer of Lycra went on the market , expanding possibilities for women everywhere. Girdles were no longer only peach, ivory, and black instead bright pastels and patterns became the rage.

The synthetic fabric used to make stretchy clothing is commonly referred to as spandex and as Lycra. DuPont created the term Lycra as a brand name for its spandex, and now the terms have become interchangeable.
Dupont textiles scientist Joseph C. Shivers was determined to find a fiber to replace rubber in garments. He made a breakthrough in the early 1950s when he used an intermediate substance to modify Dacron polyester. This modification produced a stretchy fiber that could withstand high temperatures. After nearly a decade of research, the fiber was perfected in 1959. Originally called Fiber K, DuPont chose the trade name Lycra to distinguish its brand of spandex fiber.
Polyurethane Fibers (micro photo 100X)
Spandex fibers are produced in four ways: melt extrusion, reaction spinning, solution dry spinning, and solution wet spinning. All of these methods include the initial step of reacting monomers to produce a prepolymer. Once the prepolymer is formed, it is reacted further in various ways and drawn out to make the fibers.
A blessing and curse:
The comfort offered by using fabrics with Spandex comes with an environmental concern.
Today most clothes containing spandex end up as non-recyclable waste once they have been worn out, as fabric blends containing spandex are difficult to recycle. This contributes to the pollution of the environment.
When clothes are washed, hundreds of thousands of microfibres are released into the wastewater, ending up in the oceans, and if clothes contain plastic then they will cause microplastic pollution.

Marie was born in Kentucky, the daughter of a former Ziegfeld Girl and granddaughter of opera singer. At the age of 15, Marie became a Powers model and dropped out of school so she could enter beauty pageants, winning the title of “Miss Yonkers” and “The Queen of Coney Island” on the way to becoming “Miss New York” in 1939. Soon after, she moved to Hollywood and became a singer with Tommy Dorsey’s Orchestra, but could only land movie roles in the chorus line or small one-line parts.
Lacking the talent to really make it in Hollywood, she sought attention through scandal.
On top of 7 marriages, she had affairs with two of Elizabeth Taylor’s ex-husbands and even mobster Bugsy Siegel. In 1957 she got national attention by claiming to have been kidnapped by two men. Afterwards, her tabloid appearances were numerous, with car accidents, arrests, alcoholism, drug abuse, and ultimately committed to a psychiatric clinic.
After escaping from the clinic, and a wild string of abuse and excess. In 1965, McDonald was found dead at the age of 42 as a result of a drug overdose. Her widower followed.

The Original Lunchtime Dessert
A surprisingly delicate central texture of crispy peanut praline and sweet raspberry påte de fruit sandwiched between layers of 72% dark chocolate.
Bite by bite, these carefully positioned ingredients merge into the exquisite one-of-a-kind mouth feel that has come to define this signature creation.
From the Chef: Jean-François’ love affair with PB&J began at the age of fourteen when he spent several months in the United States as a foreign exchange student. One of the first American foods he tried was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. In France, peanuts are only consumed with pastis, or small alcoholic beverages served before meals so he was relatively unfamiliar with the flavor. Jean-François enjoyed PB&J’s so much that when he returned to France he found a British supermarket that carried white bread so he could continue eating them at home.
Are you on a spending freeze?
dievca is holding tight to her purse strings…
other than trying to help local restaurants and friends who need a helping hand.
