Dame of the Month - Ms. Liza Minnelli

Liza Mennelli in Cabaret, 1972

Liza in Parade Magazine, 3/2008

Liza in Cabaret, 1972

Liza in Parade Magazine, 3/2008

Liza on Porta a Porta, Italy 10/2008

Given the incredible energy, infamous voice, and stunning body she has been showing off in shows around the world, we would never know Ms. Liza Minnelli has battled through formidable health problems. For her courage and ability to conquer the odds while still staying sexy, we are proud to call Ms. Minnelli our July Dame of the Month.

Who She Is: Born in 1946 to entertainment celebrities Judy Garland and Vincente Minnelli, Ms. Minnelli is an actress and vocalist well known for her role in 1972 film Cabaret. She has won numerous awards, including an Academy Award for Best Actress, several Tony awards, an Emmy and a special Grammy.

Why We Love Her: Her many awards speak to her formidable talent. The youngest women to ever win a Tony Award for leading actress, Ms. Minnelli has a lot of practice in the limelight (she was the baby in the last show of In the Good Old Summertime in 1949). Yet, no one can say she hasn’t worked hard for her career. From working as a nightclub singer to juggling roles in film and theatre, Ms. Minnelli continues stunning audiences with her enthusiasm, her songs, and her dance abilities.

Her body is another thing to love. At 62, Ms. Minnelli is not afraid to bare her body, shocking Italians with an energetic TV performance while clad in a partially transparent black top and tights reminiscent of the classic Cabaret look she coined. After all, who will ever forget her legendary dark helmet of hair, her big eyes, and her extravagantly fabulous eyelashes?

We heartily approve her outfit choice (which would look fantastic over this set by Tra La La), and only hope that we will too can maintain a body that will pull off an outfit like that.

Extra Credit: Ms. Minnelli serves as an inspiration for people everywhere for her dedication to theatre and her ability to beat seemingly insurmountable odds.

After suffering through viral encephalitis, Ms. Minnelli brushed aside diagnosis of life in a wheelchair, and continues to dance despite “two false hips, a wired-up right knee, two crushed discs and scoliosis.”

Ladies, with a role model like this, how can we continue to languish on the couch?

Trivia: Members of Ms. Minnelli’s family on her father’s side were actually circus performers.

You are a fearless role model to us all, Ms. Minnelli. Your huge personality both on stage and off coupled with your determination to succeed, make us love you, and your fabulous body and willingness to show it off is just icing on the cake. Your classic, yet daring Cabaret style fit perfectly with our Playful Promises lingerie from England. Try this Miss Showgirl set or this Miss Beauty Queen set. And while we don’t have fur for you, we do have animal print.

Hugs and Kisses,
Dames and Broads

July's Broad of the Month - Britney Spears!

We have always had a love for celebrities with crazy lifestyles & fabulous voices (case-in-point : Michael Jackson). With renewed faith in the fantastic comeback of Ms. Britney Spears, we have nominated her as our Broad of the Month.

Who She Is: Originally from Kentwood, Louisiana, Ms. Britney Jean Spears has been in the spotlight for over 2 decades – from her debut in the Mickey Mouse Club at the age of 8 to her current career as singer, dancer, and songwriter, with dabblings in the world of acting, writing, piano-paying and directing.

Why We Love Her: We all know about the stories posted on every tabloid. Everything from her multiple marriages, her childcare habits, and her panty-less party escapades have been examined by the media. And yet, we can’t help but love her for the way she is able to hold her (sometimes bald) head high through all the gossip, and even date one of her paparazzi piranhas.

Regardless of what you think of her personal life, there is no doubt that she is incredibly talented, making remarkable leaps from Mickey’s stage to her the world's, with songs that most of us have belted out in the privacy of their homes . She is listed in the Guinness World Records for having the “best-selling album by a teenage solo artist” and had sold over 37 million albums worldwide by the time she turned 20.

And, though ravaged by two pregnancies and an affinity for Cheetos, her fabulous body is also on the comeback trail. We can only hope to have those abs after 2 sons, divorce and a few bad mental health days...

After her meteoric rise and shocking fall, her latest incarnation as phoenix from the flames, inspires us to make our own comeback.

Extra Credit: Britney Spears is credited for having revived teen pop, with 6 albums released and over 83 million records sold worldwide. She is ranked the 8^th best-selling female recording artist in the U.S. and the top selling female artist. To put it simply, you would have had to live under a rock to not at least be familiar with “Baby One More Time." In fact, we at D&B are guilty of playing her music while checking inventory! Although we prefer "Circus", and If.You.Seek.Amy...

Trivia: Britney Spears is currently dating her agent and may be (according to a recent Star tabloid cover) engaged for the 3^rd time. Ms. Spears, we have plenty of beautiful lingerie that is perfect for your wedding night, including this lacy Columbian bralette and this non-conventional tuxedo set (And ladies, if you need wedding shower gifts, we have plenty of super cute satin panty, garter, and eye-mask sets!).

Britney, you drive us crazy (in the best way possible)! We love your music and wish you all the best for your upcoming concert. Your body is enviable, but let’s not get caught panty-less on camera again – we have plenty of sweet and sexy panties to show off. Try the Brazilian tangas to make your booty even more delicious, or some sexy peep-hole panties. If you need more bling while running around with the kids, try this sequined, Brazilian racerback bra.

XOXO,

D&B

Dame of the Month - Helen Mirren

Helen Mirren in a Bikini - Gorgeous!

Poised, elegant, and yet so sexy with her killer figure she recently showed off in that bikini picture (which would, by the way, look fabulous in something by Mimi Holiday), it is no surprise that Helen Mirren is our Dame of the Month

Who She Is: Born Ilyena Vasilievna Mironov, Helen Mirren is an English actor of theatre, film, and TV with numerous awards, including a Golden Globe for her role as Queen Elizabeth II in the 2006 film, The Queen.

Why We Love Her: Although she is no spring chicken, her courageous antics have made her a fabulously fun person to be around at any age. She is not afraid of speaking her mind, albeit in a perfectly elegant and British way. From blasting the National Theatre in The Guardian (a heavily read English paper) for lavish productions that are “unnecessary and destructive to the art of the Theatre” to commenting on Prince Charles forgetfulness when she was named Dame Commander of the British Empire (he forgot to give her half the award), she’s shown that she is not someone to be trifled with.

She is also incredibly talented, setting records in the acting world. As 1 of 3 actresses to win a Golden Globe, an Oscar, and an Emmy for performances given in the same year, she also became the first actress ever to win Golden Globes for leading roles in both TV and film in the same year. Talk about girl power!

Extra Credit: She has the body we hope to have at her age, and maybe even now. AND she’s not afraid to flaunt it. As The Guardian has said, “No British actor has ever done sex quite like Helen Mirren.”

Appearing in nothing but her birthday suit more times than any actress in her generation, Ms. Mirren proudly appeared nude on the cover of a magazine at the age of 50 in 1995. In her words, “Flesh sells. People don’t want to see pictures of churches. They want to see naked bodies.” Given the hype over nude photos of celebrities today, we would agree. (Of course, we will always stand by our point that the only thing as good as nude is lingerie-covered…)

We only wish we were so brave as to flaunt our stuff so publically.

Yet, through all the nudity, Ms. Mirren maintains her poise and elegance. She shows us girls everywhere to be proud of what we are, and celebrating our bodies can be tasteful and does not mean sex tapes and pornography.

Trivia: Although she enrolled in a teaching school after graduation, she dropped out of college at the age of 18 after being accepted into the National Youth Theatre.

Ms. Mirren, we absolutely love you for all your talent, poise, and courage. You are the model of elegance and sassiness. Women like you deserve the best, and should be draped in our gorgeous Turkish silks. Or try our prim and proper but super sexy line of British lingerie, like this cute bra and thong set by Mimi Holiday…

Lovingly,
Dames and Broads

Broad of the Month - Ciara

Ciara in July's GIANT magazine in DAMES & BROADS

Shooting up the billboards, Ciara has “1-2 stepped” her way into our lingerie (a gorgeous set you can get here) and into our hearts as our Broad of the month.

Who She Is: Ciara, best known as a R&B, pop, and hiphop singer-songwriter, is also a producer, dancer, actress, model, and music video director. On top of all that, she was named “Women of the Year” in 2004 by Billboard.

Why We Love Her: In 5 very short years, Ciara has managed to grow from a Georgia high school graduate to a major R&B icon, all while hooking-up (allegedly), with a number of Hollywood’s hotties. Most famously, her 1-year relationship with rapper Bow Wow, shows women everywhere there is nothing wrong with wearing those sexy stilettos, even if it means towering over your man (so Katie Holmes, there was no reason to slouch in that wedding picture).

Oh yeah, did we mention that she wore our goodies in a recent photo shoot (see picture above!)?

Extra Credit: Ciara example is testament that not all twenty-something year olds are crazy party-goers full of booze and drugs (put the pills down Lohan!). And, whether she is singing at “Stand Up to Cancer” events or dancing for “Make A Wish Foundation”, this do-gooder still manages to do it in style.

Trivia: Ciara’s middle name is “Princess” and a self-described “army brat” who looked up to girl group Destiny’s Child.

Ciara, we all wish we were “hot like you”! But in the meantime we will settle for supplying you with beautiful undies. When your ready, we will be here with more gorgeous bras by Clo and fabulous panties.

Much love,
D & B

The Power of Daily Candy

When we first learned that we would be in Daily Candy we were understandable thrilled. As far as we are concerned it is pretty much The Today Show of the Internet with over 2.5 million subscribers to their infamous daily newsletters. Our excitement was only mildly dampened when we learned we would only be a Deal and not featured and said Deal would only be made available to New Yorkers. We pouted and then decided to turn our frown upside down because ITS DAILY FRIGGIN CANDY for chrissakes!

Every time we told someone about the pending placement, our equally excited friends and family said "Oh My God, are you ready for that?? And we realized that we didn't even know what it meant really to be featured on DC. We have all heard the stories of sites being shut down by a mention on Oprah or TTS but what does a DC Deal really mean for traffic and sales?

Well, since DC does not publish local subscriber numbers and we had no idea what the open rate (% of emails that are actually opened by DC subscribers) was, and no idea how receptive their readers would be to Dames and Broads, we were clueless as to how to prepare. Since we wished we knew the impact of the placement and pondered it during many sleepless nights, we decided to share what it meant to Dames& Broads.

According to Google Analytics, in total we received 2100 visits on the first day of the deal with and additional 900 visits over the course of the week the deal was live. However that deal was "StumbledUpon" (A social networking sites that allows uses to share sites with others) and we received an additional 900 Visits from them.

While 4000 visits might be paltry to the big boys, it is fantastic for us small fish. We are delighted and thankful.

The promotion resulted in 400% rise in sales volume (week over week) however DC carts were at least 40% smaller in size. Which makes sense- there was a 25% coupon attached to the promotion and these users were testing us out for the very first time and were probably more apprehensive.

There was also a 25% increase to our newsletter subscriber list so that we can continue to contact potential customers.

Not to mention the countless emails from users asking why we dont carry larger sizes, other press wanting to cover us, and advertisers wanting us to run in their publications.

For a week, we were a "big deal" - PUN INTENDED. And now it's back to work...

Much Love,
D&B

Dont you wear panties????

Ok ladies, you are rebelling and I want to know why. Please explain it to me. I have searched the many corners of the earth to bring to you the best bras AND panties and still you insist on defying me.:) Why are you just buying bras?

This week we are running a promotion with Daily Candy (details to come) and were surprised that many of the orders are just bras. Now, we are not one to complain about orders (THANK YOU DAILY CANDY GODS!!!!), but we were baffled. Ok, sometimes we get it. You love the Else Basic Ultimate Support Bra from Turkey and lord knows you dont need another pair of black panties- even if they are fab. But what are you going to do with just the Miss Showgirl underwire bra??? Its sheer hot pink fabulosity! It will be lonely without the matching high waist brief or low rise knickers.. Just the thought of it by itself with some boring nude thong brings tears to our eyes...

Unless..... you all are channeling your inner Britney circa 2007 and are deciding to parade around in just your brasseire, which the broad in us wholeheartedly supports.

Hugs and kisses,
Dames & Broads

Criticism is appreciated. No, REALLY....

The last few weeks have been crazy with trunk shows and press events and vendor meetings. To summarize, they have been going like this: I stress and then agonize over every little detail. I literally worry myself sick. I call my publicist, friends and family at all hours of the night to pick their brains and then go with my own opinion anyway. At some point there is some sort of breakdown and I question if i am in fact built for this entrepreneurial life. The event takes place, is well received and everything works out well. Everyone else is thrilled, I am outwardly pleased, and inwardly wishing for More, Better, Next....

Afterwards, someone will approach, call or email me and tell me how captivating the concept is, how lovely the lingerie is, how pretty the site looks. I will thank them politely and think to myself "if it's so great, why haven't they bought more or anything at all." (Yes, I have committed to memory almost every sale of every single piece of lingerie- it haunts me in my dreams). Then I go home with my ego stroked but my brain tortured by the fact that something is missing. No, some THINGS are missing. I know I could do it better. But what? When? How?

This excruciating process will be repeated approximately every 2-4 days and does not always included sleep yet frequently includes some ridiculous amount of food.... It must stop.

So I decided to start meeting with people who have no interest in making me feel good. I went in search of impolite, politically incorrect, "keep it real" friends who want me to succeed far more than they want to ease my fears. And when I ran out of those, I looked for people whose livelihood depended on me being wrong and them being right. People who had to draw attention to the broken so that they could be paid to fix it.

I met with former lingerie buyers from major dept. stores, copywriters, graphic designers, and retail ecommerce entrepreneurs. And finally I started to hear the ugly truth.... and it was music to my ears.

Just a few of the things I learned:
1. This is not a date! You cannot be afraid of setting expectations. In an effort to avoid disappointment and failure, I was terrified of defining objectives. In order to ever be pleased or satisfied in business you must set some goals. How will you ever know if you are successful if you don't?

2.My site is pretty but does not convey effectively who/what Dames & Broads is and how we are profoundly different from other lingerie sites. It is functional but not experiential. In order to draw women into a change in purchase behavior especially for something as intimate (pun intended) as lingerie i must offer them a different shopping experience.

3. Mannequins may work for well know retailers and outerwear, but people really do prefer live models for lingerie. Nothing is "pushed up" on a plastic mannequin and you cant always ask your audience to use their imaginations.

4. Social Networking is great but also can be distracting on an ecommerce site. Users should never be directed to leave the site just to see what i am doing on Twitter... They might not ever come back.

5. More is more. Users need and want more product, more product info, more advice, more more...

6. Stop burying the lead. If shipping is free. Say it loudly, above the fold, and over and over again.

There is more but I am tired... and since I received all this constructive criticism a strange thing has happened. I can finally sleep. There seems to be something very calming about untapped possibilities...


Things gon' change 'round here.

Smooches,
Dames & Broads

Broad of the month- Kathy Griffin

We know, we didn't see it coming either but Kathy Griffin is our Broad of the month. We were leaning toward Bea Author but Kathy looks better in a bathing suit...

Who She Is: Kathleen "Kathy" Mary Griffin is an actress, comedian, and self proclaimed "D-list" media personality. She appeared on the 2nd worst Brooke Shields show (sorry Lipstick Jungle was no Cashmere Mafia and never should have won the war between the two), Suddenly Susan and went on to star in her very own reality show" Bravo's Life on the D-list. But if you have watched the show and seen this Grammy nominated star's sprawling mansion, you know that life on the d-list ain't so bad at all...

Why We Love Her: There always has been and always will be a special place in our heart for trash talkers like Kathy, but that is not why she is here. Over the course of the last 4 seasons of my life on the D-list, we have watched religiously as Kathy kept moving forward after botched plastic surgery, a divorce from a stealing husband, and the death of her beloved father. We saw her sell out shows despite being banned from almost all day time talk shows. And we cheered with our gay husbands when she took home an Emmy after being fired from hosting red carpets. Suck it Ryan Seacrest!

Extra Credit: Kathy gets an E for 'Effort' and a T for 'Nice Try' for her short lived rebound relationship with Apple co-founder Steve Wosniak. Unfortunately her nerd tolerance was not high enough to hang in their for the prize. But she receives a huge gold star from us for that smoking hot body at 48 years old. Lord only knows how many sit ups, hours on the treadmill, and missed desserts it took to create that figure but the fact that she did it without one Jenny Craig meal gets kudos from us!

Trivia: Kathy has admitted to "lightly dating" N'Sync member Joey Fatone. We are dying to know what light dating encompasses these days. Given a 10 year old's explanation of "second base" on Oprah a week or so ago, we are sure it must amount to a brief marriage...


Kath, you crack us up and for that we worship you. Although we don't yet carry Irish lingerie to honor your heritage, we have some fab British lingerie to support that lovely rack of yours... the next Internet billionaire brainiac you date will be very appreciative.

Yours,
Dames & Broads

Dame of the Month- Dita Von Teese

We have adored her for years. It was only a matter of time before Ms Teese became our Dame of the month.

Who She is: Born Heather Sweet, Dita Von Teese is a burlesque superstar who went from stripper to MAC and Cointreau spokesperson, model/actress, and author.

Why We Love Her: It ain't easy to go from stripping in skeevy clubs in Southern California to sitting front row at the Dior show in Paris and having your own line of WonderBras. Hell, it's a miracle to go from stripping to anything other than porn. But if you have ever seen Dita dance, you know she is a miracle worker. A classically trained ballerina, Dita brings an elegance and grace to a traditionally seedy profession.

Extra Credit: Points must be given for living through 1 year of marriage to shock rocker Marylin Manson. After dealing with his drug and alcohol abuse as well as his affair with actress Evan Rachel Wood, she left his house and the marriage empty handed. Von Teese recently said of Manson, "He's been in touch a little. The apologies come, and he was like, 'I made a big mistake.' And I'm like, 'Yeah, yeah, I know. Go ahead and say what you need to say to feel better and to sleep at night.'" LOVE IT...

Trivia: Though she rarely acts, she won best Actress at the Beverly Hills Film Festival in 2005 for the short film, The Death of Salvador Dali.


Ms. Teese, please know that we recognize you for the American treasure you are. Shame your Wonderbra line is only available overseas... We would certainly carry it if they would let us...:)

Dames and Broads

Broad of the Month- Kim Kardashian

We love her for all the wrong reasons--- Cheers to the Ms. Kardashian, our Broad of the Month....

Who She Is: Kimberly Noel Kardashian is the part Turkish-Armenian/ part Russian /part Scottish/ part Dutch daughter of OJ Simpson attorney Robert Kardashian and Kris Jenner (who is married to Olympian Bruce Jenner). She is also a former friend to Paris Hilton. But our fair Kimmy made a name all her own when she starred in a home made sex tape with Z list pseudo-rapper Ray J ( better know as Moesha's brother).

Why We Love Her: Most of us would have ran and hid under our bed for a grazillion years after having to admit to doing the dirty with Brandy's little bro, but not our Kimmy. This chick stood proudly, posed ass front for pics, and got herself a reality show.... and a second season of said reality show, and a third, and a clothing line, and a million appearance fees, and the coveted cover of Playboy, and a nice little $5 million settlement from aforementioned sex tape scandal. $$$KA-CHING$$$
It took Jenna Jameson and Tracy Lords years of tenacity and back breaking work (pun intended) to crossover from porn glory to mainstream. But for Kim the transition was complete in less than 18 months. Talk about landing on your feet...

And who in god's name rebounds from Ray J with Reggie "Please never put your shirt on again" Bush (pictured above alongside his love)? Did we mention that Reggie signed a contract that could be worth 62 million smackers in 2006 with the New Orleans Saints? They are discussing marriage...
Why buy the cow if Ray J milked it for free???- Because clearly she has some unworldly "gifts".

And the body... All breast, lips, hips and thighs, she is a beacon of hope for voluptuous women everywhere.

Extra Credit: We have seen the sex tape. And if we were stupid/crazy/drunk enough to humiliate ourselves, embarrass our families and shame our dead father's good name by making a sex tape with the wackness himself Mr. Willie "Ray J" Norwood, we hope, NO PRAY, we look half as fabulous as she does in it. Who the hell has that type of lighting in an amateur porn? Did Kevin Aucoin himself rise from the dead to do her makeup? Not our fav bra and panty set in the very beginning- but hey, we all make mistakes... Say what you want about Kim but she is photogenic.

Trivia: In 2000, at the age of 20, Kardashian married music producer Damon Thomas; their relationship ended in divorce in 2004.

Kimmmmmmy, we love you and want to become besties. And we are ready, willing, and able to get you out of those boring black bras that you wear in every photo shoot. We have some great Turkish lingerie worthy of your heritage and some fab brazilian tangas perfect for your lovely tush.

Holding you in highest esteem,
XOXO
Dames and Broads

With Missed Opportunities Comes A New Homepage

For a lingerie ecommerce site that launched a little over one month ago, Dames and Broads has been very lucky from a press/traffic stand point. We have been mentioned in UrbanDaddy, FabSugar, and will soon be in InStyle among others. And while these mentions have driven traffic and sales, in our new company excitement we really lost out on some low hanging fruit. It simply never occured to us to have some sort of email capture/ newsletter sign up so that we could communicate with potential customers (thousands of contacts down the drain). We never thought to reward our larger customers and encourage bigger orders with Free Shipping (those that spend more deserve more). We offered no additional incentives to sweeten the deal for those customers on the fence....(anyone choosing to give us their hard earned $$$ in these hard times should feel pampered)

Well as of March 19th all that changes. Behold our new homepage and offerings.

-Free Shipping on every order over $100
-Newsletter Sign up for great deals, savings and the newest styles
-Free Soyelle Lingerie wash samples with every order (limited time only)!

Have any other suggestions that would make DamesandBroads.com better from a user or business standpoint? We are pretty sure we have a lot more to learn...

Let us know, we would love the feedback.
