Women In Lingerie Biography
Source:- Google.com.pkNEW YORK (AP) — What's in a bra? Femininity, sexiness and self-empowerment, says Halle Berry, who is launching a lingerie line she says will do it all.
The Oscar-winning actress is reviving Scandale, a lingerie label born in France in 1932.
"We've taken this brand and revamped it," Berry said in an interview Thursday. "But we've kept all the qualities of the Parisian sort of style intact."
The collection of 10 bras and panties will be sold by Target, and while "rich with history and heritage," will boast "a very good price," said Berry, who, beneath her lacy dress displayed a black Illusion demi bra (less than $20).
Berry is an owner of the Scandale Paris line and said she plays a hands-on role in design, declaring, "I think I have a pulse on what American women want."
She agreed that, for guys, the choice of undergarments is largely a question of boxers or briefs. "But most women know that what you put under your clothes is the first step in making yourself feel good about yourself."
Women buy lingerie mainly for themselves, she went on, quickly adding, "When they find something they feel good in, and that makes them feel sexy and feminine and empowered, their partners also reap the benefits."
Berry, who won a Best Actress Academy Award for the 2001 drama "Monster's Ball," came to television last summer in the CBS sci-fi series "Extant." For this film veteran, series TV, with its faster-than-film pace and longer-than-film hours, was "a rude awakening," she confessed. But now she's braced to resume production for next season in February.
Despite the excitement her entry into series TV ignited, reviews for "Extant" were mixed and ratings less than spectacular.
"That was disappointing, you might say," she admitted, "but at least we got picked up. I think we learned a lot from the first season."
She noted that many series take time to break through into long-running hits.
"I hope that will be our case," she said.
(NEWSER) – Hubert Rochereau became a casualty of World War I some 96 years ago, and his mother and father are long gone as well. But one part of the French soldier lives on: his bedroom, which his parents preserved as a shrine to the young man after his death, the Guardian reports. The 21-year-old perished in 1918 while trying to help take control of the Belgian city of Loker, and his grieving parents decided to keep the bedroom just as he left it the day he went off to war. That isn't likely to change, either: To ensure it was never disassembled, Rochereau's parents included an unusual clause in the house's sales contract when they moved in 1935 that mandated the room remain as is for 500 years.
Among the artifacts in the memorial space, as originally shown to La Nouvelle République: the original lace bedspread, a feather-adorned war helmet, a military jacket devoured by moths, his pipes and cigarettes, an assembly of weapons (including pistols and a sword), and a vial of earth labeled "the soil of Flanders on which our dear child fell and which has kept his remains for four years." Rochereau received a slew of posthumous honors, including the French Legion of Honour award, but it's his bedroom that remains the most touching tribute—one the current homeowner plans to maintain. "This clause had no legal basis," he tells La Nouvelle République, adding that he and his wife—who inherited the house from her grandparents—will continue to do as the soldier's parents asked. (This couple found WWI love letters in their attic.)
