Get Your Butt In Gear, Part II

See Spanx.com to view the entire line of hosiery and tights, body shapers, bras and panties, slimming apparel, t-shirts, and maternity legwear, or look for the line at Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, Von Maur, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Marshall Fields, Parisian, as well as specialty boutiques.

For those readers awaiting payday with empty Louis Vuitton pocketbook in hand, never fear. Sara Blakely recently launched Assets, a new brand of comfortable shaping undergarments sold exclusively at Target and Target.com. Beanstalk staffer A. Goodwin has substituted these affordable garments under slacks when Spanx are not available and swears that they really do the trick. Product specs are as follows:

Unbelievable Underwear $10

Perfect Pantyhose $10

Givers. We are givers. We feel great that a portion of each pair of ASSETS purchased will go to The Sara Blakely Foundation, which is dedicated to supporting and empowering women around the world.
