"Spanx" is a very, very bad word for me. I shutter everytime I see them in the department stores. A very lovely wide-front lace panel suspender belt is wonderful in a lady's repertoire:

I've turned one of the extra bedrooms in my house into a boudoir, complete with an antique art deco mirrored vanity and art deco armoire. I lounge around in my velvet robe and silk marabou mules.
Also, when I come home from work or from a night out on the town, I take off my clothes by doing a little striptease in front of the mirror. (A burlesque performer should always practice, at every opportunity!) (Did I just admit to that???)
