Patrick says she was inspired to create her own intimate apparel line because it was hard to find quality stuff that would fit comfortably on her 36-DD figure. We realize that there are plenty of you who think she shouldn't have bothered since that 36-DD figure of hers looks even better when it's not covered up, lacy frills and plunging décolletage notwithstanding. But hey ... she's not a noted entrepreneur for nothing, y'know.

We understand if you were a little upset by those Torture Garden party photos we posted last fall: you probably really wanted to be there, but it was in London and at the time you couldn't get a bottle of water through airport security, let alone a rubber cowboy outfit. So we're sorry we rubbed your face in it (even though you probably like when we do things like that, you little worm.) It's a bit last minute, but Torture Garden's next costume/dance/performance art party is this Saturday and even if you can't make this one, don't fret, because the "world's largest fetish and body art club" holds regular get-togethers throughout the year so there's always plenty of opportunities to play along. Their website can tell you more about these theme events, with photo galleries to give you a taste of the action. Before you book your plane ticket though, you might want to check out their own Torture Garden clothing line, featuring the latest in fetish gear fashions, so you can pick up a new gown to wear to the ball. Anyone who can get you a hot outfit and date for Saturday night all at the same time, is someone you definitely want to be friends with.

When one writer publishes a piece on a particular topic it can be intriguing, but when two different writers on two different coasts write about the same topic on the same day, you know something is definitely up. Especially when the topic is as oxymoronic obscure as sexy knitting. Yes, everyone loves nice, tight sweaters puppies, but who knew that there were so many folks interested in woolly undergarments, hand-crafted blindfolds and wrist cuffs, and even dildo cozies (because really, nothing's worse than a cold dildo.) Thanks to foxy Fleshbot favorites Violet Blue and Rachel Kramer Bussel, however, we're now well versed in the subject. That's why we love it when great, dirty minds think alike.

You may think we post about them just for obvious reasons (= i.e., to fill up space on a slow news day), but megagalleries like this one are important from an anthropological standpoint because they remind us that so much otherwise innocuous stuff can be pornographic in the proper context: taken individually, most of these photos wouldn't look out of place in a standard slutty clothing catalogue or collection of spring break photos on MySpace, but as a group of dozens they automatically become jerkoff fodder for the Levis-loving masses. (Assuming you're turned on by the sight of girls wearing jeans, that is, even if there's otherwise relatively little by way of actual nudity. Your mileage may vary.)

Despite the fact that the Daspu fashion line is the world's first to be founded and designed by prostitutes, most of their clothing that we've seen so far could almost be described as chaste: oversized t-shirts and one-piece jumper sets that wouldn't look out of place in a JC Penney catalogue. But there's still the occasional thong or skintight bustier to remind you that the designers haven't forgotten where they come from—and when it comes to raising awareness for issues that affect sex workers in Brazil and elsewhere, nothing gets our attention like a well-fitted thong or skintight bustier. Is it too much to hope for a "Hooker Challenge" on Project Runway before this season is over?

For too long, corsets may have seemed relegated to period costume dramas and the closets of professional doms, but TO.mTO Berlin is dedicated to bringing the snug outfits out of those tight confines (so to speak) and into the wardrobes of sexy fashion plates everywhere. (Men too, apparently.) The designer of these babies, Tonia Merz, is giving the traditional styles an modern update in the hopes of making corsets a part of everyday fashion once again instead of just a bedroom article that gets worn for ten minutes and then ripped off and thrown in the corner. Although you could probably still do that too. There's a reason the classics never go out of style.
