                                                1. From Wench It Came

                                                  10.Jul.08, 15:07 IST
                                                  Being in Munich, Germany at the moment, (and knowing MOLI has just launched in Germany) I was hoping to find some new hot frau wear, like the old timey brau haus frauen (beer hall gals) wore - like on the St. Pauli Girl bottle of beer. I found it in the company called  Angermaier. Not sure what the word means, but the clothes are fierce. Embroidered wench corsets over white and black tops, knee-high lace up boots, in black and red (zipper on the side for quick on and off). Sexy lederhosen for men and women. Your basic ‘traditional’ German wears with a modern fetish twist.

                                                  The lederhosen I speak of are generally worn by kinder AKA babies and children and also formerly by Bavarian men - and are usually a sort of  brown leather shorts with attached suspenders further accoutrements are stylized embroidery. I have been keeping my eye out for adult lederhosen for years and the only ones I have seen have been for kinder.  The Angermaier Company has them in black as well as brown in different lengths and even full-length trousers for men. Along with the lederhosen for men are traditional men’s vests and blazers for men and women. Not my stein of tea, but there they are and someone must be wearing them.

                                                  Some of the dresses look like they came right off of Snow White, Sleeping Beauty or Cinderella – before or after she passed out in a barn, castle or brew hall, or ate a bad apple. (The Neuschwanstein Castle in Salzburg that Walt Disney based the Sleeping Beauty castle on is not far away from Munich - only two hours). Maybe this is actually the real Never-Never Land?

                                                  There is a gothic looking silver-grey corset with a modest (for this collection) long skirt. The ‘sexiest’ outfit is a beautiful emerald green embroidered wench dress with a see-through lace baby doll top underneath and a sheer black apron (pictured). Meow. Fabrics for many of these pieces are satin and silk brocades, some have aprons, and some of the models look like Paris Hilton.

                                                  I will say that this is quality stuff at least from the looks of it and they have full outfit sets for men and women as low as 169 euros each, complete with shoes. There are fancy accessories and belt buckles, and, of course, clothes for kinder.

                                                  I have to wonder, is this ultimately based on a beer hall waitress fetish? Is it for those obsessed with Disney Character /MILFs? I guess that’s for you to decide.
