Candy-Stripers

"Running up bills isn't difficult when you're on a student nurse's salary; forgetting to pay your landlord is almost as simple. However, when the rent comes due at the end of the month, £62 - at one pound a stroke - can seem a trifle...exorbitant."

"It's basically a case of pay the rent or out you go bare your bottom! There'll be a 'damned good' spanking first, with tears on the pillow before the cane stretches its chastening fingers across spank-tingling bottom-cheeks!"

From: Blushes Supplement number 1.

Meanwhile, back at the dormitory, freshly-minted candy-stripers are subjected to snap inspections during Matron's rounds (followed by a nice, brisk spanking on the buns by the attending physician). 

 

It appears that nobody gets off scott-free in the UK, even under Great Britain's National Health Service.

Age reduction filter

OK, this may seem a little off-topic, but bear with me. We now have AI programs that can alter the age of a photographic subject (and, in some cases, change the gender as well). The technology still has its flaws; the image posted below isn't perfect, but it's still incredibly good, considering that the original photo featured a middle-aged male. If this is what we're capable of doing now, imagine what we'll be able to accomplish in just a couple of years...

More British "Strips"

British comics at their finest - John M. Burns' Eartha (News of the World, 1982). A recognized veteran whose credits ranged from Modesty Blaise to Judge Dredd, Burns was a master of the female form, never hesitating to kit out his frequently reluctant heroines in stockings and garters whenever the opportunity arose.

Mirror Image

Contrary to all appearances, beautiful Mailyn Otero is not dancing before a mirror. In actual fact, she's performing opposite gorgeous Pierina Neyra in this meticulously choreographed routine. As the girls are wearing identical costumes - right down to their bras, knickers & black suspender stockings - the casual observer may be excused for jumping to the wrong conclusion.

Many thanks to Piegrande for uploading this exceptional-quality video to YT.

Las Vecinas

Y'know, we can't help but feel sorry for all those unfortunate Latin males forced to deal with beautiful under-dressed vedettes on daily basis - particularly when the girls seem to wander around in their suspender stockings without a care in the world (fast-forward to 12:35 for the good parts):

 

 

This pairing of average guys with gorgeous lingerie models seems to be a recurrent trope in Latin comedies, doubtlessly inspired by a well-known British auteur who specialized in this kind of humor.

Colpo Grosso: Marina, Marina

Yes, Maria La O returns with another rendition of "Marina, Marina" for her legions of adoring fans. The clip is basically a replay of this earlier striptease, except that this time she's wearing suspenders to complement her black designer lingerie.

 

Hypothetically Speaking

Imagine you have a case of terminal cancer, and your only hope for survival is an experimental new therapy which will rewrite your genetic code at the molecular level. On the upside, you will live in perfect health for at least another sixty years. On the downside, you will have the appearance of a beautiful teenaged girl for the rest of your life.

Would you be willing to undergo this radical and potentially dangerous new treatment? Are you prepared to sacrifice your masculinity for an irreversible cure? Could you adjust to your lush, sensuous new body if they threw in a few million dollars compensation?

Wow, what a stupid question.

HypnoSTRIP

Lillian Blanchard is a shy librarian who experiences periodic blackouts. Consultations with various medical experts yield no results; physically, she seems perfectly healthy and nobody can explain her "lost time" episodes.

The mystery deepens when she suddenly "awakens" on stage in her bra and panties, a crowd of drunken reprobates howling to see the rest of her act. She has no memory of where she is or how she got there; the last thing  she recalls was cooking dinner in her small downtown apartment.

Bolting  from the spotlight in near-panic, she manages to locate her shoulder  bag and leaves through a back exit before any of the bouncers can stop  her. From there, she has to make her way home wearing little more than garters and stockings.

Overcoming her initial shock, Lillian realizes she's the victim of a post-hypnotic command, one which transforms her from a timid book-keeper into a luscious, blonde striptease dancer. Worse still, she has no idea when her next blackout will occur!

Humiliated beyond words, Lillian goes to the authorities for assistance, but naturally, they refuse to believe her "ridiculous" story - after all, nobody can be hypnotized against their will, can they? Over the next few days, she loses her job, her reputation and even her closest friends.

Mocked by the law and rejected by her closest friends, Lillian is left with nothing but questions: when did she first fall under this spell, how can she reverse her programming and - most of all - who has been exploiting her for well over two years?

Narcisso

Narcisso seems to have been the French answer to Colpo Grosso, replicating the original's format to some degree (while outdoing its predecessor in at least one important respect). 

Dropping all pretense of The Big Win's game show atmosphere, Narcisso had beautiful French girls stripping down to their bare knickers (or less) while singing the latest Parisan chanson d'amour. 

And what did these talented young hopefuls receive for their efforts? Money? Fame? La Palme D'or? Nope. Apparently, they walked away with a bouquet of wildflowers and a home-cooked pizza!

Following a long day at the office, the very first thing a girl wants to do is strip down to her knickers and model her sexy black garters in the mirror...

...according to this 2015 TV commercial, at least. Lingerie advertisements aren't known for their depictions of reality, but then again, fantasy has always reigned "Triumphant," so to speak.

Benny Hill: Jane Leeves

While British actress Jane Leeves is best-known for her run as Daphne Moon on NBC's Frasier, she actually started out as an extra on The Benny Hill Show, circa 1982 or thereabouts. In common with many of her Hill's Angels co-stars, she was required to show her knickers in between dance numbers:

We've Just Passed Two Hundred Thousand!

Yes, that's right: as of 13 August, 2022, we've reached a grand total of 200,285 views - and the numbers continue to rise! Even more unbelievable: according to our stats, we scored more than 100,000 views within the last twelve months alone! 

What does all this mean? OK, let's try to put it into some kind of perspective. We established this blog waaaay back in May 2010, mainly as a database for lingerie scenes on film and TV. Following a couple of false starts, we bumbled along with a few hundred visits per month for the first eleven years (more or less the average for a niche blog like this), then suddenly our ratings shot through the ceiling.

What happened? None of us know for sure. The change came directly out of left field, catching all of us by surprise. We noticed a huge influx from Europe (particularly France) as well as a steady climb in Canada and the US, but we've yet to figure out how the digital landscape changed in such a short span of time. On the other hand, we have a few clues with might point us in the right direction.

First, there's Benny Hill. Benny has always been a perennial favorite on this site, with this post amassing 5047 views on its own. Seems that there's still a huge audience out there, thirty years after the great man's passing, and it's no secret that Benny's "silent comedies" appeal to a vast demographic on both sides of the Atlantic. Just goes to prove that some forms of humor transcend language and cultural barriers (especially when there are bras, knickers and beautiful young women involved). At present, we have no less than thirteen articles devoted to Benny's girls, and people simply can't get enough.

Another contributing factor might be diversity. Variety being the spice of life, we wanted to explore visual media of every conceivable form: film and TV, comics and cartoons, manga and anime; literally anything we could find in the uncharted corners of the Web (how did we ever survive without the internet?).

Unraveling

 Ever just had one of those days...?

Benny Hill: Bus Stop

Bus Stop is the closing tag of The Benny Hill Show Episode 27 (March 24, 1976). Playing a stereotype "silly old duffer," Benny sneezes his way through one catastrophe after another, first blowing away a civil servant's (Henry McGee) newspaper before disrobing an attractive young brunette. A chase immediately ensues, with Duffo blowing away a tent (revealing two young campers in their underwear), felling a tree (provoking lumberjack Bob Todd to take after him with an axe) and demolishing a smoke stack before finally setting off a nuclear blast in the middle of London.

 

 

North of the Border

For some unknown reason, our northbound cousins didn't start producing sex comedies until the 1980s, but when they did...well, the results were impressive to say the least. Screwballs (1983) and its sequel Loose Screws (1985) contain some memorable lingerie scenes, including a full-blown striptease by Cynthia Belliveau at the climax of the second movie.

While there was very little outright nudity in either film, the directors took the humor as far as they could, having eager young starlets falling out of their clothes as often as the script permitted. The ever-popular faux "medical" examination was put to good use in both movies, as suggested by the screencaps posted below:

 

 

Benny Hill: Elsie

Elsie (Abigail Higgins) is the unwitting 'star' of Benny Hill's 1981 Channel Surfing sketch. Preparing to bed down for the evening, Elsie walks into the living room where newscaster Benny ogles her through the television screen. Nonchalantly removing her sheer blue negligee, Elsie strips down to her bra, panties and stockings in front of the stammering anchorman.

 

Unaware this is happening, Elsie moves around the apartment as Benny repeatedly misquotes the news, looks out the back of the set when she crosses behind it and even steals a bite of her pastry through the screen. When Benny later reports that an escaped convict (Bob Todd) is loose in her neighborhood, the criminal immediate bursts into Elsie's apartment and hides in her wardrobe, closely followed by two police officers (Henry McGee and Roger Finch) strolling into the house. 

Seeing all this, the newscaster tries to warn them, but they turn down the volume on the television which he then turns back up. When the criminal is caught hiding, a struggle ensues, and the newscaster is shot through the TV monitor, lamenting that the only casualty was an innocent newsreader. Finally looking at the television, Elsie comments "Look at that - drunk again."

Las Temibles de Argentina

This sketch is about as silly as they come, but well worth a look all the same. Grandpa is pleasantly surprised (to say the least) when Grandma invites Las Temibles over to sing "happy birthday:"

If we're reading the translation correctly, Las Temibles were an Argentine girl-group that made it big on Peruvian TV during the late 80s. While their repertoire was largely musical, they were also accomplished comedic actresses, appearing in numerous variety shows until they found a home on Risa y Salsa (Panamericana Televisión, 1980-1999). As a general rule, "The Fearsome Ones" usually wore skimpy outfits, they occasionally stripped down to their lenceria on special occasions (as suggested in the vid-clip posted above).

Dick Emery: Blink and You'll miss it...

An extremely short clip (21 seconds) from a 1980s English comedy. The humor paid tribute to The Benny Hill Show, even using the "silent film" format. Back in the day, hardly a week went by without some pretty young thing being stripped to her lingerie on British TV:

La Chica Videomatch 2

The girls from La Chica Videomatch are back, this time decked out in school uniforms. Unfortunately, the host still hasn't learnt to keep his mouth shut, insisting on interrupting at least four sensational dance routines with his inane commentary: 

Dancers include Magalí Androchu, Pamela López, Milagros Lugo and  Clara Soto.

Jane Revisited

Following Jane's phenomenonally successful run in the 1940s, the Daily Mirror attempted two revivals of the character over the next three decades, first with the short-lived Jane, Daughter of Jane in the 1960s (Alfred Mazure, 1961-1963):

...followed by a mid-eighties reboot which updated the original heroine for a contemporary audience (1985-1990). Veteran cartoonist John M. Burns added an espionage parody recalling Jane's homefront adventures of the war years:

 

While both strips were initially well-received , neither managed to recapture the charm of Norman Pett's wide-eyed ingenue. Despite some truly knockout artwork from Burns and Mazure, the revivals simply couldn't match the patriotic fervor of their predecessor. Apparently, the key to success involves more than just a pretty blonde running around in her lingerie :)
