Bra or Braless Look?

Rebecca Romijn in a Sexy Black Push Up Bra

Christmas is over and the New Year is approaching, this is the prime buying time for all shoppers.

In the minds of shoppers, the deep red after Christmas sales tickets dance in their heads.

Almost as delightful as the peppermint canes that hung from the Christmas tree are the deep discounts offered by retailers just after Christmas.

Now, we know that one of the big sales items in late December and January are bras and panties.

Are you the type of person who prefers a very sexy push up bra and those hot and sexy lace thong panties?

You know, that very sexy look that can capture a man's attention and send him for a loop or perhaps you prefer to go the all-natural way without any underlying support.

Rebecca Romijn in a Sexy High Cut Thong

Our interest in this subject was really perked by two really hot and sexy women.

Although, each evoked a different path, they both extruded a very sexy look.

Victoria's Secret may dish up a hot and sexy look, but we really loved the lingerie spread featuring Rebecca Romijn for the Italian lingerie company La Perla.

Not only does La Perla create sexy lingerie and knickers, but its web site presentation rival, and in many ways surpass, the hot editorial fashion layouts that the top fashion magazine produce, yet fail to transfer to their own web sites.

We just love the web site and Rebecca Romijn sexy lingerie looks.

Rebecca looks oh so captivating in that black push up bra with lace and embroidered silk butterflies on the thong.

Britney Spears In Your Face Natural Look

We especially like the high cut thong panties, a really sexy look.

Not only does Rebecca Romijn look alluring in sexy bras and thongs, but she also looks great in body paint.

In November 1999, Rebecca appeared on the cover of sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition covered only with a painted on swimsuit, she also appeared on GQ in a painted on bikini bottom.

Anyway, with or without clothes, Rebecca is always captivating.

So enjoy some additional photos of Rebecca from the photo shoot.

Than there is Britney Spears and the Britney Look!

Britney often foregoes pieces of underway; yet her in your face appearance is right on point.

Although she might not like wearing a bra, Britney enjoys the freedom and sensuality of a braless body pressed tightly against a red, off the shoulders see through t-shirt.

Still, you have to admit that Britney perks your attention in this braless red see-thru off the shoulder top and tight jeans outfit.

Certainly worth a second glance or two.

So what do you prefer, the very sensuous black push up bra with detailed embroidery and revealing black high cut thongs or the natural look – no bra and a tight see through top?

You be the judge.
