For most [url=http://www.vikingsjerseys.com/Sheldon-Richardson-Jersey/]Cheap Sheldon Richardson Jersey[/url] , if not all, women who live in modern societies, the wearing of bras and panties underneath any outfit – sexy or sporty, casual or formal, everyday or business – is an everyday occurrence. These pieces of underwear are so much an accepted part of life that women will give little thought, if any, to its history. This should not be because the history of lingerie is filled with interesting stories of fashion [url=http://www.vikingsjerseys.com/Matt-Wile-Jersey/]Cheap Matt Wile Jersey[/url] , of sex and sexuality, and of power in the social, cultural and political spheres of human life. Here are a few of the most interesting tidbits in the history of bras, panties and all things lingerie.
Not Exactly Sexy in Etymology
The etymology of the word “lingerie” itself is not sexy, which is in contrast with the way we think about it in modern times. The term comes from the Old French word meaning linen - “linge”. High-quality linen may be sexy in terms of being one of the most luxurious fabrics used for the bed – the place where the most number of sexual encounters happens, thus, it being sexy in its own way – but it does not exactly conjure up images sex [url=http://www.vikingsjerseys.com/Rashod-Hill-Jersey/]Cheap Rashod Hill Jersey[/url] , sexuality and sexiness in an immediate fashion.
Still, the bras and panties we know today as lingerie are the sexiest pieces of clothing known to man. You can place a picture of the most beautiful woman’s headshot and yet it will not garner as much sexual interest as a photo of a Plain Jane with a smashing body clad in the laciest barely-there bras and panties. Indeed, the unsexy etymology has taken on a sexy connotation!
Undergarments as Status Symbols
We may not consider lingerie today as a status symbol – unless, of course, you are wearing a diamond-studded bra as a bodice – but it was so in ancient Egypt. Women in the upper classes wore elaborate undergarments that resembled narrow tunics while ordinary women and slaves went with simple loin cloths or went naked underneath. Nowadays, bras and panties are everyday items that are designed to be worn underneath clothes so the brands and prices are not important. The most important considerations for choosing bras and panties are comfort, style desired (i.e. [url=http://www.vikingsjerseys.com/Tom-Compton-Jersey/]Cheap Tom Compton Jersey[/url] , full support, demi and balcony) and materials used (i.e., satin, cotton and lace).
Changes in the Perception of a Beautiful Body
Lingerie is often an expression of societal standards of physical beauty where a woman’s body is concerned. Thus, the bras and panties we know today have evolved with the changing perceptions of what is beautiful and what it not in the eyes of society.
A few of the most notable changes in perceptions of beauty where lingerie is concerned are:
During the 14th century, tight-fitting underwear like corsets was used to manipulate women’s bodies into an hourglass shape while also making the breasts protrude. In fact, the corset was seen as a symbol for sexual intercourse itself although the health issues associated with its use made it a non-everyday item in the modern world. During the mid to late 1500s [url=http://www.vikingsjerseys.com/Dan-Bailey-Jersey/]Cheap Dan Bailey Jersey[/url] , big butts were the rage because these signaled fertility in women. Thus, the farthingales were popular especially among royalty with Queen Elizabeth being a great fan of the fashion.
The next time you are choosing your bras and panties to wear underneath your clothes, think of how these have evolved from ancient Egypt to our modern times. And how lucky women are today to choose the most comfortable underwear instead of forcing their bodies into the ideal shapes.
How can a book help you enhance your self confidence? Well, it can't do so on its own, but it can certainly help you identify whether or not you have an issue with self confidence, and point out some ways in which you can deal with this issue. There are a great variety of self confidence books on the market today, as well as books on various other psychological issues. In fact [url=http://www.vikingsjerseys.com/Brett-Jones-Jersey/]Cheap Brett Jones Jersey[/url] , the 'self help' sections of most book stores may be among the fasted growing sections in the entire store. This phenomenon - the proliferation of self-help books - started back in the 1980s, with a shelf or two devoted to these types of books. Since then, most bookstores have developed a vast - and steadily growing - collection of self help books. Self confidence books belong to this group.
Can just reading a self confidence book help you develop your self confidence? The answer, most likely, is no - you have to do some work, too. But the books explain the issue of poor self-confidence, help you identify whether the issue is relevant to you (which it probably is [url=http://www.vikingsjerseys.com/Danielle-Hunter-Jersey/]Cheap Danielle Hunter Jersey[/url] , if you are bothering to read the book at all!), and it can show you some directions in which to turn in order to build your self confidence. When looking for self confidence books, and other books on psychological issues, the ideas themselves are unlikely to be difficult or controversial. True, this can be a complex problem, with regard to possible causes and potential manifestations. At the same time, the issues regarding self confidence are fairly well understood by the psychological profession [url=http://www.vikingsjerseys.com/Eric-Kendricks-Jersey/]Cheap Eric Kendricks Jersey[/url] , so much of the material in many self confidence books will be fairly similar.
The issue, however, is whether you enjoy reading the book - whether the book 'speaks to you', so to speak. It is always best to choose a self-help book whose author you admire and agree with, and that has a style you enjoy reading. In this way, you are more likely to keep reading and to actually implement the ideas described in the self confidence books you read. This, like other psychological issues [url=http://www.vikingsjerseys.com/Trae-Waynes-Jersey/]Cheap Trae Waynes Jersey[/url] , requires your participation and work; you ahve to actively participate, not just read. For example, some books migh ask you to do writing exercises such as journaling, or they might even give you assignments of an interactive kind! If you are willing to do so, a self confidence book might be your first step to eliminating a deep-seated problem.
