SHERMAN OAKS, Calif.—In the wake of expanding its White Label collection and on the eve of next month’s ANME trade show, Baci Lingerie has revamped its sales team. Baci reports that the group of sales veterans, hailing from internationally known clothing retailers and distributors, has been equipped with extensive product knowledge and training in how to use Baci’s display system to maximize sales.

The company is encouraging consumers and retailers to get to know the sales representatives through social media. Members of the team will be profiled regularly, and visitors to Baci’s social media sites can take advantage of opportunities to win prizes from all the Baci lines. Baci can be found on Twitter (@BaciKiss) and Facebook (Facebook.com/BaciBrandUSAFanPage).

“There’s always more to learn,” said Baci Lingerie USA National Sales Director Alicia Sinclair. “It’s with this in mind that our sales team prides itself on continual improvement. As Baci’s lines expand, it’s our job to keep up with the newest fashions and share them with retailers. We’re also constantly staying up to date on market research and consumer studies, so we can help produce increased visibility and sales.”

Working directly under Sinclair are Baci sales reps Tori Mazakas, Jessica Luna, Nancy Levine, Joe Sternberg, Jim Davis and Dev Steiger.

To schedule a phone call with a representative of the Baci sales force—with team members available around the clock—email sales@bacilingerieusa.com.

Sales Coordinator Tori Mazakas said, “Our sales team is always available to discuss the elegant new styles releasing from Baci. It’s important to believe in the produce you sell, and we are all Baci enthusiasts. We hope our passion for Baci carries over into each of our sales calls, so retailers and customers become equally enthusiastic.”

Baci recently announced the expansion of its White Label collection of lingerie. The moderately priced White Label appeals to a woman’s playful, seductive side. In turn, the Black Label collection is more refined, though also sensual and alluring.

Baci also offers various lines of easy-to-apply fashion eyelashes, ranging from natural-looking lash enhancers to flamboyant feathered creations. Eyelash sub-collections include Natural Look, Starlight Edition, Magic Colors, Glamour, and Paradise Dreams.

The lash collection was showcased this month at an event co-sponsored by Baci and California Exotic Novelties that brought adult stars Belladonna, Joanna Angel and Phil Varone to the Déjà Vu Adult Emporium. Click here to see photographs from the event.

Coming in July will be Baci’s Dreams collection of bedroom costumes, designed for shoppers looking to spice up their love lives with some role-playing. Many uniforms have been playfully reinvented for the Dreams collection, including nurses, schoolgirls, flight attendants and cops.

Retailers attending the ANME Founders Show—taking place July 14-16 in Burbank, Calif.—are invited to stop by Booth 121 in the City Ball Room to see Baci’s new wearables. To book an appointment, retailers may contact their Baci representative directly or emailinfo@bacilingerieusa.com.

A suspected stalker threatened to decapitate a lingerie model known as Philadelphia’s ‘hottest blonde’, it is claimed.

Luis Plascencia, 47, sent the barrage of hate-filled messages through Facebook and e-mail to Kourtney Reppert, it is alleged.

The 26-year-old Playboy hostess was so terrified she hired security guards for her birthday party at a nightclub in April.

Plascencia was arrested at his home in Chicago and held without a bond. He will appear in court today to face the charges which carry a maximum of five years in prison.

Threats: Lingerie model Kourtney Reppert, 26, allegedly received a barrage of disturbing emails and Facebook messages from Luis Plascencia

One message is claimed ho have said: ‘I hope you die in an automobile accident and [it] crushes your ugly face through the windshield and a large piece of glass cuts your throat.’

Plascencia is alleged to have later used a computer at the Chicago Public Library to send emails threatening to cut Reppert’s head off and chop her parents ‘to pieces with a hand saw’ unless she stopped modelling.

The FBI affidavit states that Plascencia lived with his mother and sent messages using a number of different email addresses, according to LA Weekly.

He was apparently angry that the model was posing semi-nude, in lingerie and bikinis.

But in one instance Plascencia is alleged to have impersonated a photographer in an attempt to get Miss Reppert to pose nude for him.

Another alleged message added: ‘I’m going to stab you in the f*****g heart and cut your head off’.

He is also said to have branded her a ‘slut’, a ‘whore’, a ‘gutless b***h’ and a ‘fat ass’.

The charges claim that Plascencia also sent Miss Reppert a CD containing 234 photographs of her that he had collected.

The model was so terrified by the emails that she had to hire bodyguards and even security for her birthday party, police files claim

According to detectives, Plascencia posted letters to Reppert’s former address, and those of her father and stepmother.

Another email excerpted in the criminal complaint stated: ‘I warned you before about doing this and will continue my wrath until you step down as a model go back to college and move back near your family in Philly. I know where you are most of the time.’

Reppert told authorities she was so disturbed by the messages that she hired bodyguards to go out with her in public. Security guards were also used to protect her birthday party in April at a nightclub.

The model claimed that a private detective she employed confronted Plascencia about the suspected stalking. He is said to have apologised before deleting files on his computer.

But when police raided his apartment they are said to have found CDs containing images of the Miss Reppert set to music.

Reppert tweeted that she initially declined to speak publicly about the allegations and was ‘disappointed’ her identity had been revealed through the FBI files.

‘This has been a very stressful time for me and my family,’ Reppert wrote on Facebook yesterday. ‘I will remain positive.’

The glamour model moved from Philadelphia to LA last year and has since worked as a hostess at the Playboy mansion.

Philladelphia radio hosts Steve Morrison and Preston Elliot also rated her the state’s ‘hottest blonde’ on their ‘Preston and Steve’ show on 93.3 WMMR.

According to her website, she also studied business and marketing at college and is the CEO and founder of Bombshell Marketing.
