If you’re going to
take advice from someone about how to look sexy in your underwear there are
probably only two people you can really trust.
And that’s Bridget
Jones and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
- for different reasons, obviously.
But while one remains
the on-screen reflection of 21st century women, the other has shared
her underwear tips as she prepares to release a collection with Autograph at
MS.
Sure, Rosie is a size
eight and widely considered to be the sexiest woman alive but she
knows so much about bra and pants that the she’s sharing her expertise by
designing her own collection.
It’s like the
supermodel equivalent of a bunch of teenagers getting rude puns on their name
printed on their holiday t-shirts before getting too drunk on some Spanish
island.
And to celebrate her
new collection, Rosie offered these well-meaning tips on looking good in
lingerie (move over, Gok Wan. Nobody cares about being naked anymore).
Speaking to the Sunday Times Style magazine Rosie said: ‘The most important
thing is that I wasn’t designing for myself – that’s boring. It’s important
that the underwear translates for all women, all ages, all sizes.’
Her tips on choosing and wearing lingerie include ‘think about colour’, ‘get
fitted’ and ‘mix it up’.

When it was announced that the 25-year-old would work with MS on the
designs, she said: ‘’I love everything about lingerie, I’ve always had a thing
for it.
“It is completely feminine, it’s something for women, it’s ours and it’s a
little secret.”
Well, it’s a secret until someone tells everyone and shows pictures wearing
the secret undies rolling around on a silk bed, eh?
The collection launches on 30 August and it’s unclear how it will be
received it will be by the average British woman and her undercrackers.
Rosie recently said that ‘people forget you’re human and you just become an object’
when working in the industry. What do you reckon?

Kuzma: Abby arena is Aquilini’s kind of deal

Where there’s smoke, there’s usually some fire.
The smouldering rumours of Francesco Aquilini having interest in purchasing the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre and eventually relocating the Vancouver Canucks’ AHL affiliate to the Fraser Valley have sparked speculation because it would make fiscal and logistical sense for the ambitious NHL owner.
As much as everybody was trying to toss cold water on the concept Monday — Canucks Sports and Entertainment choosing in a statement to champion its minor-league arrangement with the Chicago Wolves that has a year remaining, and Abbotsford city manager Frank Pizzuto stressing that the AESC is not on the market — striking a deal with the parent Calgary Flames to relocate the Abbotsford Heat, and the Fraser Valley Sports and Entertainment Group that has AHL approval to ice a team in the area, might also ease the financial strain on the City of Abbotsford and its taxpayers.
The only other arena tenant is a Lingerie Football League team scheduled to start play this fall in the $66.2-million facility, which also houses concerts and trade shows.
Three years into a 10-year supply fee agreement that guarantees the Heat a break-even point with its annual budget of $5.7 million, crowds have shrunk and shortfalls have skyrocketed to the point where the operation is simply off the rails because poor gates have a trickle-down effect to taxpayers.
Opened on May 10, 2009, the 7,046-seat AESC has seen average Heat attendance drop from 3,897 to 3,545. And because of the supply fee agreement, shortfalls have risen from a reported $450,000 in the 2009-10 season to $1.37 million in 2010-11, and are projected to be $2.83 million for last season when numbers are revealed next month. They could be delivered during a hockey board meeting Sept. 7, with Flames president Ken King expected to be present.
Regardless of the disturbing numbers stacking up in favour of an AESC sale to lower the facility’s debt load and potentially reducing operating costs by attracting a minor-league affiliate associated with the Canucks, the NHL club only offered the following statement:
“Canucks Sports and Entertainment maintains a strong, ongoing relationship with their AHL affiliate, the Chicago Wolves. The club will not address speculative reports or discuss the partnerships of other NHL teams. No further comment will be provided at this time.�
Pizzuto was more blunt. He said he has no knowledge of discussions between Aquilini and the City of Abbotsford and that this isn’t the first time rumours have risen of a potential buyer and arena sale.
Pizzuto didn’t return a call from The Province on Monday, but told the Abbotsford News that he wasn’t aware of any talks about purchasing the AESC.
“It’s not on the market,� he said. “I don’t know where that comes from.�
As for a switch in hockey tenants, Pizzuto clarified that conversation wouldn’t involve him.
“We have a contract with Calgary and discussion would have to take place between Vancouver and them [Flames],� he said.
