New York Fashion Week, a week-long fashion parade in New York’s Bryant Park, begins Friday. It is an annual event where fashion designers showcase their Spring collections.

Heather Thomson, lingerie creator and celebrity stylist, jump started her show with pole dancing where she personally hand-picked eight of the best pole dancers in the city to showcase her Yummie Tummie shapewear lingerie.

Heather Thomson’s Yummie Tummie line of shapewear lingerie is only available in specialty fashion stores and higher-end retail stores. Well, what do we expect when even Oprah Winfrey gave it rave reviews?

I spotted this photo on the website of The Telegraph UK, which I occasionally read online. This photo shows a group of models walking in front of a giant billboard that is made up of a thousand images of women wearing the Wonderbra, forming a ‘mosaic’.

These models, parading at the junction of Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Street in London, were themselves also wearing the Wonderbra.

Personally, I do not see what is so “wonderful” about the Wonderbra. I know that it’s supposed to enhance the body shape of a woman but Playtex could at least make ‘em bras sexier, right?
