There use to be a time when single women were treated like outcasts and looked on with pity. Unmarried women were secretly called “spinsters” by friends and family if they were not wed by the time they hit 30. The tide is beginning to turn as single women send out the message that they can do for themselves.

Single women are beginning to take the country by storm, even on the top hit show “Desperate Housewives” half of the characters are single. Advertising companies are beginning to get it when it comes appealing to the single woman. One commercial has two women who are sitting down after a wedding doing a high five for having “not” caught the bridal bouquet. This message says that businesses are seeing that single women are a viable market. That is girl power that is about to be in full effect.

That is such an ambiguous word: rich. It means one thing to you and another to me. In my mind, being rich means having enough to feel secure, as well as living a comfortable lifestyle, and having the wealth, or longer leash and more ability to do things I want in my life. Again ambiguous. Undefined goals are never reached. But there is another factor…the comfort factor…the lifestyle factor.

I have heard more talk about lifestyle this week from women I’ve been around, seen and talked with. When we are pinching pennies and the pressure is on- there’s no wasted money, because it isn’t there to waste. So what tends to happen the minute we get some money and the pressure is off? We get comfortable in our lifestyles. We drink our daily mochas, get our toes done, here a little splurge, there a little splurge, everywhere a splurge. And you know what? We aren’t getting where we want to be, because we are just so glad we aren’t where we were. We end up just trying to maintain our beloved lifestyle.

G-strings: These have got their name from the side straps of panties are which are very thin pieces of fabric or ribbon, giving a look of a ‘string’ These lie considerably very low in the front and sit almost where your leg meets your torso.

Padded/ Filled Bras: For those who have breasts comparatively smaller in proportion to the body, market experts have come up with options like padded bras so as to give them a fuller look. ‘Filled’ are the ones that either include air, fabric or water to render a rounded appearance.

Different fabrics fit differently so you must know which material (cotton, lace or lycra) you need to adapt such that it fits you best. Ideally, for daily use, cotton bras are best recommended and they are firm and fit to the inch. For special occasions, lyra or lace bras can be worn to bring about the ‘oomph’ factor.
