Lingerie Sold Like Used Cars

There’s a lot of ways to sell lingerie. Wait. No there isn’t. Basically you dress a hot woman – the bigger the breasts, the better – in the most revealing lingerie the particular brand carries, have her prance around in a bedroom and stare into the camera as if she’s about to explode with desire for you. Batting the eyelashes is a plus too.

Lingerie is all about sex, right? After all, what woman in their right mind would wear tiny little underthings that offer no support, create dangerous risk of nipple slippage and don’t do well in the washing machine unless all she wanted to make every guy nearby squirm with embarrassment as they try to conceal the growing urgency in their pants?

So when we viewed this commercial for Baltimore-based Accentuate Lingerie which hypes lingerie as if it were the latest 1994 Dodge, we were sadly, ahem, deflated and had to go running to the latest Victoria’s Secret to set thing straight.
