all things underthings • Manchester Vermont
This week didn’t turn out as I planned. Like many of us, I thought Hillary Clinton was going to be our next President. I even had a whole marketing campaign planned: Bras are everywhere, even in the Oval Office. As my father, a veteran, told me a long long time ago, success is based on […]
I remember when I saw my first petal top. I was at the counter in the lingerie department at a Nordstrom in Los Angeles about ten years ago. I looked at the display in front of the register that showcased these nipple concealer things called “Petals.” My life was changed forever. I’m one of those women who […]

The shop turned three at the beginning of July. It feels every day of it. I mean that in the most grateful way possible. This helping-women-find-a-bra-that-works thing is really a real business. Everyday…and I mean every day the bra shop doors are open, we help women find their joy from the inside out. That’s our […]

It all started back on February 2nd when I received an email from Dina Janis, the Executive Director of the Dorset Theatre Festival: Hi Joy- We are doing a Pulitzer Prize winning play this summer called Intimate Apparel by Lynn Nottage. It tells the story of an African American seamstress at the turn of […]
Sticky boobs were a hot item in Manchester last week. It was the week before Prom and Prom “bra” shopping brought a lot of teenage girls into the shop. We had a blast with girls bringing in their dresses or showing us pictures on their iPhone. They were looking for just the right “underthing.” In […]
The new wedding coordinator for the Equinox came into the shop yesterday. She started a few weeks ago and comes to Manchester’s largest resort from another popular resort up north. Her GM suggested that she visit JOY as she gets acquainted with Manchester and the local bridal scene. I gave her the tour of the shop […]
My friend Amy has a cooking show on the local public access TV station, and last month she invited me to be the guest. What fun! The guests get to choose what to make and it didn’t take me long to decide to do my “3 Meals at Once” using real food based on the Whole30 […]
