The Lingerie Addict is closing

Stagiaire Fash

This post isn’t brand new, so maybe those who care have already seen it, but a site I really like, even though its posting schedule was slower than I would’ve liked, is shutting down. I’m sad to see it go.
Are there any other lingerie fans here?

Oh that’s interesting - a woman-of-colour-owned endeavour. I’d never heard of it. But the site says it may continue in another form?

RL, yes, she says she’ll be around somehow. I relate what she says about the site trying to do too many things, so I’m curious which she’ll choose. She had writers of different sexualities and races on her site, and occasionally ran articles like this https://www.thelingerieaddict......s.html/amp
You say you hadn’t heard of her, but Dita von Tese follows her on Instagram.

I like lingerie, but never buy it online as I like to have it professionally fit. I have a local store that I like to buy from. Having such a good shop a bit dangerous, as it is on the same block as my local supermarket. No wonder DH does most of our grocery shopping!

Bijou, lol about the dangers of a good lingerie store in your daily life, though that’s a kind of impulse buy many husbands wouldn’t mind. But TLA is not really a sales site. I mean, there are links to click through on reviews (I think) but really, it’s much more than that. Take a look!

My exchange with Cora Harrington, the person behind TLA:

Subject: Auf Wiedersehen.

You know that means “until we see each other again”, right?

I discovered your blog a few years ago. Did me a world of good. In my 20s & early 30s, I loved lingerie and bought some pieces I loved. I never wore them because I was too shy. Then came the baby, single motherhood, depression and weight gain. In my 50s I lost the weight, rediscovered myself, and was ready for the fancy stuff! That’s when I came across your blog. Thanks so much for running it over so many years!

Please be sure to post on insta and elsewhere when you are rested and energized and ready to begin your next venture.

If you need a 50+ model, let me know.

Wishing you all the best, truly!

Hi Stag!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a kind note.

It means a lot to me, and I'm happy TLA was able to be a positive part of your life.

Thanks again and have a good weekend,
