Tomima Talks: The Designer Designing Marie Jo | Tomima’s Blog

  • April 30, 2023

  I grew up with a “set girl”. My mother only wore matching bra and panty sets. She didn’t talk about it. She didn’t show them off. It was simply her quiet truth along with a projected self-confidence. And now, as I write this, I wonder if this small adherence each morning also set her mental makeup for the day. Are you a “set girl”? Yes? Sometimes? Want to be but need some help? Look no further than the Marie Jo brand. They understand and design to the...

What is a Balconette/Balcony Bra?

  • April 30, 2023

Wearing a bra that’s comfortable yet supportive is the goal for every woman. But with so many different types of bra styles on the market, it can be hard to determine which one is right for you.

How is this possible? No, it’s not magic — although plenty of balcony bra fanatics might say it is. If...

It’s Never Too Late To Feel Incredible

  • April 28, 2023

I’M SO GLAD I DECIDED TO GO FOR IT! When Maryann and I initially talked I could tell she had some apprehensions about doing a shoot like this. I mean who wouldn’t? A boudoir shoot at my Toronto boudoir studio can be an intimidating thing to do. And it’s OK to be nervous. But that nervousness turns into something amazing as the shoot happens and you start to understand why boudoir is so transformative and so much fun. It was so fun in fact that Maryann booked a...

I Felt Like A Professional Model

  • April 27, 2023

Doing It For Herself What’s the best reason to come in for a boudoir shoot at my Toronto boudoir studio? Sometimes it’s just because you’re awesome and why the hell not? That’s what Siobhan did for her shoot. I’m so glad she came in too. What an absolute treat to photograph her because she was in it and ready to go almost from the moment we started shooting. I would leave 10 star or more review if I could. I am in LOVE with my experience with Trevor....

My top list. 3 lingerie brands and 3 designs which I was late for.

  • April 27, 2023

There is a bunch of top lists which I had in mind when decided to start this column: my top list of lingerie stockists, my top list of sales, my top list of lingerie brands for small busted girls, etc. But instead I started it with the most useless in practical point of view article – my top list of lingerie which I was too late to buy.

Tomima Talks: A Fun Father Figure Upgrade on Father’s Day! | Tomima’s Blog

  • April 26, 2023

“Mr. President, the world’s dying to know: Is it boxers or briefs?” asked 17-year-old Laetitia Thompson from Potomac, Maryland of then President Clinton during a live MTV forum in April of 1994. “Usually briefs,” he replied. Adding, “I can’t believe she did that.” Back then, those were really the only two choices for men.  Fast-forward to today. The number one selling men’s underwear silhouette has become the pragmatic boxer-brief – combining the coverage of a boxer with the form fit of a brief – the best of both worlds. And...
