We hope you like some of our Polyvore creations below, sort of inspired by a show we are unfortunately not able to watch sans HBO – True Blood! And maybe a little of Lady Gaga’s Alejandro thrown in the mix.
Summer Kicks Off- Fire Island Beer Co
With the summer fast approaching and family and social gatherings abound, the sun is so close we can almost taste it!
As any Haute Hostess or Happening Host will tell you, there is no better way to entertain a crowd than with treats that tantalize all the senses. We’re going to be bringing you some great summer cuisine that we’ve cooked up here. Recipes we’ve come up with over the years or been inspired to create by something new and fresh at the farmer’s market or grocery store. We hope you’ll take these and make them a part of your relaxation routine, something to help you wind down from the stressful work week and enjoy the sights, sounds, and tastes of a delicious and nutricious home cooked meal!
We recently volunteered at Riverkeeper’s Shadfest (an outdoor festival in support of Riverkeeper and their ongoing efforts to keep the rivers and fish that reside in them safe), and we met the two very happening guys from Fire Island Beer Company. We admired their entrepreneurial spirit, their superior branding, laid back inspiration, and of course their kick-ass brews. From the female perspective the Red Wagon IPA was refined enough that it appealed to my sweeter sentiments, and with a smooth finish and high alcohol content it also appealed to BTS guy’s preferences. Shadfest is held on the historic property surrounding Boscobel mansion, and during the slow parts of the day we took my fashion eye and the scenery and took some artistic photographs of our experience, the view, and their beer.
We loved Fire Island Beer Co’s label and inspiration. The compass, lighthouse, deer, and other scenic references to the place where their company was born are so quintessential to this island off the coast of Long Island without cars or mass transit. Removed but connected by a thread, I think that many people can aspire to at least live that lifestyle when on vacation this summer.
To properly pour a beer don’t let the liquid hit the bottom, angle the cup/glass so it slides down the side. This reduces the “head”(foam) at the top.
When getting close to full turn the cup upright and let the liquid fall into what is already in the glass/cup.
Finally let the glass drop away from the pour at the very end, this creates just the right amount of head/foam to the pour.

lingerie and football, do they mix? she says don’t forget the name!
So my guy thinks lingerie and football is the best idea ever, no surprise! Every guy I’ve mentioned this to is like, wow the “girls’ tops must fly off!” Well as a girl that does not hold as much appeal to me. I like the idea of lingerie that takes a masculine thing and turns it feminine, like rib tanks with lace… In the case of a league named after it’s outfits, I want the lingerie to live up! I think they went all out for the super bowl halftime show! (which aired on pay per view)
The garters, the way that the numbers were appliqued on were all so cute and innovative, now the “uniforms that they have available for sale are not as exciting to me. I’d like what the girls are wearing above! Including knee pads, helmet, and shoulder pads!
San Diego Seduction
Dallas Desire
I mean, I am thinking of dressing up for halloween, and if I was wearing these I don’t think anyone would know there is an actual league… Put the LFL label on them, add some padding in with the set, so maybe me and my friends can hold an impromptu game with a real football in the park! I know the guys would love that, but it’s not about the guys, it’s about the game and the lingerie!! The two things in the name “lingerie” and “football”. Men have short attention spans (trust me, I spend my time combating this with my designs!) so pretty soon the novelty of girls throwing around a pigskin in their skivvies will wear off.
At that point if there are fans left it will be women. Also if the guys came/watched a game in which girls were really playing, I mean giving it there all, I think they might come back. There is something sexy about a physically empowered girl who could even hold her own with the boys.
I think the NFL should team up with LFL, and I’d like to see those big boys blindsided by a amazonian female decked out in her lingerie! haha I mean can you picture their faces across the line? We all know where guys look, and in a boy vs. girl match the uniforms aka lingerie could actually be a huge feint (look here while I throw there).
LFL games should be fridays this fall, starting 9/4/09, and I’m thinking that for my september birthday we’ll go to a game with friends. When we do, you’ll hear about it!
