Undies: I Feel Pretty in Pink

I’ll file this under Flickr fun. If we’re not friends on that site, we should be. I don’t really update the “photos” section on Funky Brown Chick; it’s a static page. So, if you want more pics of me and day-to-day life, my Flickr is where you’ll find them.
Photos: I Can Prove I Wear Underwear
Because I forgot my BlackBerry at home yesterday and didn’t have access to my calendar, I totally forgot about the marlies|dekkers private lingerie event. A friend got me on the guest list and I was going to drop by before heading to a different friend’s party. Damn it! I guess there’s always next time. :( By the way, speaking of underwear and responding to Rachel’s comment from yesterday’s post …
“I thought you don’t wear panties? I’m confused. Either way is okay – I love that you wear matching bras and panties, it sounds so old school, I guess because I don’t know anyone else who does.”
– Rachel Kramer Bussel
Hear ye, hear ye. Let it be known that I, Twanna A. Hines, do occasionally wear underwear. I have proof. Ages ago, back when my family, coworkers, church members and others didn’t know about this site, I used to regularly pose and snap pictures of myself in my underwear. See “Green Bra” Exhibit #1 and Exhibit #2 as well as “Matching Green Lacy Panty” Exhibit B. Seeeee? I do wear panties!!! Just not often. ;)
By the way, for the record, I always feel really happy, pretty and sexy when I wear matching bra and panties. (Pssst!! Victoria’s Secret is having 40% sale!) For that reason, I’m considering reigniting my passion for posting pictures of myself in my underwear. It was a lot easier to do when I wasn’t: (a) “out” with my name and face on the internet and (b) lugging around an extra 10 pounds of winter weight. Hmmm, not sure I feel confortable enough to do panty shots yet. Give me a couple additional weeks running in the park …
CHOOSE: No Underwear or Sexy Panties?
Whether it’s women who have sex strictly for recreation, dudes who wear thongs, Australian men’s droolworthy factor or whatever, reading what you guys write in the “comments” section is one of my favorite parts of this site. So, I recently (um, like, yesterday) scrapped the old comment system and I’m trying out Disqus (pronounced: discuss) because it’s easier to use. You’ve probably already seen the format on Gawker, Mashable, HuffPo and other places. Basically, I made the change because I got annoyed with scrolling up and down and replying en masse to 20 comments with a long list of “@ @ @” stuff. The new system works for me, but I want to know if it you like it too. To try it out, answer this quick & easy question: Which is a bigger turn on — secretly wearing NO underwear (i.e. vajayjay al fresco) on a date or dressing up in a pretty, matching bra and panty set? Ready? Set? Try out the new comment section!

By the way, more changes to my site are coming up. I’m going to upload the new logo Mariana designed sometime today or tomorrow morning. I design my site myself and I’m soooo not a web designer / web developer / whatever, so it takes me a bit longer to do this stuff than it should.
Don’t Get Caught In Your Birthday Suit on YouTube
Last weekend, one of my lovely Twitter followers (I follower him, too), TabooLaRossi, asked me if I’d ever done a do’s and don’ts post for couples who take nude photos. Hmm … I don’t think there’s anything vulgar or unnatural about naked bodies. So, here are my “tips” for couples who wanna take nude photos of themselves:
Do decide how “naked” you want to be online. For personal reasons, I’ve never posted revealing (i.e. boobs and crotch shots) pics on my Flickr or a sex tape on my YouTube … though I have posted pics of myself in my bra and panties. My rule? I don’t show more Twannaflesh online than you’d glimpse if you saw me wearing a swimsuit on the beach.
Trust, like relationships, often changes. The lover holding the camera today might be your ex tomorrow. So, if you don’t want anyone / everyone to see your nude pictures, don’t make them available to others. Don’t give copies to your lover or friends. Don’t post them online — e.g. Flickr, blog posts, email forwarding, etc. (Note: Another option? Don’t show your face.)
If you decide to go full monty, do wear makeup and shave if you’re into that kind of stuff. Primp, smile and practice your facial expressions in the mirror before your photo shoot. Remember, pictures last forever; so, go at it full hog. Relax, have fun and enjoy!
I know a couple bloggers in town who’ve uploaded naked photos of themselves. I’m proud of my body and nudity isn’t a bad thing; at the same time, I think the only way I’d ever post nude pics online is if everything was like totally covered up because I’d feel odd about past or current employers and my family finding the pics. Since I don’t have personal experience to share on the public nudity front, I’d love to hear from someone who does. If you or someone you know has a great personal story about naked pics, a sex tape or other other fleshy stuff, tell us about it in the comments section.

Do You Mind If I Show You My Panties?
February 29th, 2008 | 2 folks got down with the Funky Brown | Posted in Dating and Mating, Nerve.com, Underwear
I’ve got sex on my mind lately because I’m writing a chapter about the topic for a really great anthology. I skipped a party last night, stayed up late and woke up early to work on my piece. It’s like 98% there, but I need another hour or so to get the closing paragraph in really good shape. In addition to working on that, I’m wrapping up a pitch for an unrelated print magazine story. I did an interview for that at 8:00am this morning, and I have two more scheduled in the coming days. Crazy busy. Today on FUNKYBROWNCHICK, I wanted to write a post about my dating life … and recent insights a couple of guy friends have given me about “The Male Perspective on Dating” … but I don’t have time. I’m running out the door, getting ready to head to my day job. So, in lieu of a full funky brown chick post, I hope you’ll forgive me if I simply point you to my recent Nerve piece, “Chipped Red Fingernail Polish and Bill Wadman’s Penis.” Also, if you don’t mind, I’d like to show you this week’s panty posts on “panties210: The Underwear Blog for Men and Women“:
Hope you all have GREAT weekends, and I can’t wait to give you the romance scoop next week!
Flirting on Film
February 27th, 2008 | 10 folks got down with the Funky Brown | Posted in Happiness, Nerve.com, Underwear
There’s definitely something sexy about sitting in front of a skilled man holding his favorite instrument in hand. I got kinda turned on. Wet. Hot. So I flirted shamelessly (and, of course, 100% harmlessly). But Bill Wadman isn’t turned on at all. He’s just doing his job. He’s a photographer. A damn good one at that. What’s more? Not only does he take great pictures, he’s also a fierce conversationalist. I enjoyed talking to him just as much as I enjoyed looking at his camera.
See more images over at his blog. I’ll write more about the photo shoot — and the juicy details of our intimate conversation — on Nerve later today.
“Nothing says ‘I want you’ like a man with a mouth full of underwear.”
January 25th, 2008 | 10 folks got down with the Funky Brown | Posted in Party and Bullshit, Underwear
So, last night, I’m having drinks with a group of friends, right? I drink maybe, um, I don’t know … a shot Tequila and a few beers? I also shove 12 buffalo chicken wings in my mouth. So picture this … as I gnaw a greasy wing and smear sauce all over my chin, I chide a little cutie named Joe for buying me a drink. “COORS FUCKING LIGHT? You bought me a DOMESTIC beer?!” That, my friends, is class. Yes, bitches, true poshiness is: never having to say, “I’m an asshole.” (Joe, if you’re reading, THANK YOU for the beer and apologies for the assholery. Trust me; I’m much less of a diva than I seem.)
Anyway, so, during the night of unrestrained merrymaking, I Twitter like a goof, fantasize about being as pretty as Lynne d Johnson (blog)(photo), tell a guy I don’t date Americans, and let folks know that I respect vintage (though mistreated and misunderstood) temptresses like Dorothy Dandridge, Marilyn Monroe and Billie Holiday. “They were powerful in their own way.” I continue talking, “Ohhh! You know that line from RENT: ‘Every single day, I walk down the street I hear people say: baaaaby. So sweet! Ever since puberty, everybody stares at me … Boys, girls I can’t help it, baby.’ I LOVED that part. Man, I wanted to *BE* Maureen — you know, universal appeal and all. Idina Menzel nailed that roll.” My friends give me a look seems to say, “You’re an idiot.” My response? “Jessica Rabbit was kind of hot, too.” I think everyone who knows me jokingly worries about sanity.
Anyway, so, I’m quickly updating my blogs. Check out panties210 to find out why nothing says ‘I want you’ like a man with a mouth full of underwear. At my blog column at Nerve mag, read about my fucked up dating life in I Want You to Want Me.
