Get Your Sexy On


The Green Lantern has his power ring. Superman has his phone booth. I have a black lace bra. What makes you feel powerful?

It doesn't matter if you are a businesswoman or if you just want to boost your self confidence in the bedroom, the same rules apply. You have more influence when you feel good about yourself. In the business world, there is much discussion of the "power suit". The function of the power suit, is to serve as a modern-day suit of armor. Its purpose is to project unrelenting, untouchable power in the face of adversity without saying a word. Women in business also wear power suits, but they are, without exception, designed with the same lines, the same criteria of acceptability that govern the men's suits. Some women do feel comfortable dressed in the masculine style that disguises the female form and makes you "one of the guys" in the office. For many of us, though, this makes us feel like we have, once again, betrayed who we really are. It's time to bring sexy back. The question is, how to do this without losing our credibility as business women?

Dressing in a dramatic color, or in an outfit that plays to our feminine shape, will get you a "Don't worry your pretty little head about it" attitude from you male co-workers every time. So, we take a step back. We build our "new" power suit from the inside out. We start with undergarments that make us feel sexy. Sexy is confident. Sexy gives us power. Wearing something absolutely feminine and maybe a little naughty under our professional attire will not only make us more sure of ourselves, but will add an element of risk and daring to our everyday routine.

One of the keys to success in the workplace, is knowing something the other guy doesn't know. There is nothing quite as fulfilling as sitting across the conference table from a rival who can't figure out why you are so relaxed and confident. Little does the poor fool know, that you have prepared for this tournament. You have the impregnable armor of a slinky brocade push up bra and g-string, with a garter belt holding up the sexiest of thigh high stockings. You feel like you can conquer the world.
