Miranda Kerr: Fancy a Dirty Weekend?

The only reason Kerr plummeted to No 46 was Orlando Bloom’s bun in her oven. She’s since lost the flab and is back the way you like her in bras & suspenders. Born and raised on a farm in Gunnedah, Australia, Kerr became famous at 13 after winning Dolly/ Impulse Modeling Competition and more famous at 23 when she replaced Gisele Bündchen in 2007 to join the Victoria’s Angel squad. Since then, Kerr has sashayed down the runway for elite designers and was booked for print in magazines like Elle, Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar amongst others.

“I never thought of modelling as a career,” laughed the Aussie supermodel. “I just started doing it for fun. Then I thought; if I’m smart, I can set myself up for life.” Three years on, the 28-year-old Victoria’s Secret Angel is loaded, married to movie megastar Orlando Bloom and doting on their son Flynn. Celebrity photographer Russell James said, “The US has fallen in love with her. We love her because she has the most incredible girl-next-door look and she’s also insanely beautiful. It means women are not intimidated by her looks and guys think they might be able to talk to her. It’s a fantastic combination ... people want to be around her; she’s fun on a shoot … and she’s not stupid, which can be a very annoying trait among some models.” Apart from being the super-hot lingerie model Kerr is an expert in nutrition and skincare. She launched an organic skincare line, called KORA Organics in Australia with co-founder George Moskos. Last year, she released her debut book titled Treasure Yourself. Her philanthropic work includes Wildlife Warriors Worldwide and Children International.

How to unclip a bra with one hand…

You’re kissing. It’s going well. It’s time to take her bra off. Reach around and feel for the clasp. Most bras feature the three vertical columns of ‘hooks’ and ‘eyes’. To undo, push the ‘hook’ in towards the ‘eye’. Eyes will be located on the left (your right) and hooks on the right (your left).

Pinch either side of the clasp. Lift up – ideally you’ll push the hooks into the eyes at a 45º angle. If you feel like you’re losing purchase, grasp the clasp and fold it over on itself. It will tighten the bra, but only for a moment as it will also have created a ‘perfect storm’ in which the elastic will push the hooks out of the eyes.

Like a good golf swing, removing a bra is all about the follow through. Once unclipped, take the shoulder straps and gently pull them from her arms. Obviously your partner needs to help with this part. Ideally, hang the bra up and don’t drop it on the floor – girls hate it if you treat their good bras like the pants you play football in.

Lingerie glossary

Corset

A supportive structure worn around the waist, a corset is designed to make a woman’s midriff appear smaller. Ribbons on the corset are pulled tight and then tied to hold everything in place.

Waspie

A derivative of the corset, the waspie is a belt worn around the waist to make it appear much smaller.

Bustier

Shorter in the body than a corset – it reaches only to the ribs – a bustier works like a Wonder Bra by squeezing your lady’s midriff and forcing her cleavage up. Oof!

Basque

Named after the traditional dress of the Basque people of Spain and France, who wore close-fitting jackets which came in tightly at the waist, the Basque covers the midriff and provides support for cleavage.

Peephole Bra

A bra that allows you to see the wearer’s nipples, either by way of slits or gaps in the fabric.

Hold-Ups

Like tights but without the ugly asexual crotch bit, hold-ups have an elasticated panel at the top which, unlike stockings, keeps them in place without the need for suspenders.

G-String

Knickers, defined by the strip of material that sits in between the buttocks when worn. This prevents a visible knicker line.

Chemise

A loose-fitting, short dress, also known as a baby doll that is fitted around the breasts. Like a nightie, but better.

Camisole

A tight fitting, sleeveless top, similar to a crop top.
