What’s so hilarious in it? Just probably some small store who’s owner doesn’t have time/money/will to take care of it’s look outside.
They sell snoods in lingerie shops???
Yes they do. Monsey is full of such stores selling snoods and bulletproof robes. In Passaic the store is called Hosiery Planet, also carrying overpriced childrenswear.
Guess what- Suri is a dude!
It’s not a REAL lingerie. When they say lingerie they mean Shabbos robes and ankle length flannel nightgowns, as most schtark women would not wear pajamas.
how erotic, snoods, and models coats, yay!!!
Shame on you. You shouldn’t be looking at from lingerie shops. DOn’t you know you will go blind? It is like looking at the Kohanim when they “bless” the congregation or pleasuring yourself and spilling your seed.
Actually, kallahs get some pretty risque stuff but it is wasted since they keep the lights off…
You’ve no idea. There’s a lingerie store on New Utrecht in Boro Park…I’ve been in the back…Victoria’s Secret is a joke compared to this place.
Well, we know the Lubavitch girls aint shoppin there…. They make their money off Israeli tourists
@Moshe – I couldn’t expect this comment from anyone else but you!
Forgot teh name though…
Moshe, what about that store on M?
That’s pretty funny. One mans chumra is another’s fetish.
My sister sells human hair wigs. She’s told me about customers that have shaved heads and never wear wigs out of the bedroom coming in to order wigs with the longest hair possible.
I told her to start selling robes with holes in the back…
Anon I am guilty of all mentioned – looks like I’m screwed
JDJ, not even close
I’ve been to frum lingerie shops on LSE. One fronts as a bedding shop (I’m not making this up) the other deals mainly in bras. The stuff isn’t VS but it’s not bulletproof either. I’m not sayin’ what I bought there
what’s a hostess gown??
i’m shocked they can even use the term “lingerie.” it’s just so kinky.
and btw Heshy you can reduce the resolution of your photos and save on your bandwidth quota
Yea, that picture is at very high resolution. That brown dress is a size medium, reading the tag.
What`s wrong with Victoria Secret? haha I thought the point of being married with someone is so that you can do with them what you can`t do with other people. I might be being too honest here, but if I can`t be sexy for anyone else you know darn well I`m going tobe for my husband!
P.S. I`m single, so it`s not like I`m talking from experience here. Just voicing my opinion.
“hostess gown” is the same as a “shabbos robe”, i.e. a dressing gown that zips/buttons from neck to toe. The material is a bit heavier/stiffer than lingerie so as to be more dress-like, less clingy/revealing.

Oh, and sorry if this comment is posted twice. The first time I wrote it, it didn`t come through.
Frum Satire – Anon I am guilty of all mentioned – looks like I’m screwed
Or maybe not screwed
I never look at the kohanims hands, never did as a kid, and never did as an adult. It would be just my luck to happen to look on a day that the shechina is shining down through their fingers, so I never look. And I don’t pull my tallit over my head either, I simply control my eyes and stare at the words (and sometimes the sentences next to them) as the duchaning proceeds.
On the other hand, in Jerusalem, a new fancy lingerie store with everything in the window didn’t do that well on Ben Yehuda. Women were embarrassed to walk in.
Heshy, I can see you takin that photo. Sweet!
I must admit (hmmm..should I go anonymous here?) to wearing very revealing things under my Shabbos gown and keeping the lights on. *ahem* Plus, I don’t shave my head – never will.
Guilty as charged.
I mean, what’s the deal with that? It is private. Not like I am walking down the street dressed like that.
Haha…zoom in, the best part is the reflection in the glass of Hesh taking the picture. (Who’s your friend?)
Oh, and about that “bedding shop”. Don’t men ever come in there looking to buy sheets…and then…??
Ha! This reminds me of the time I went to New York and my sister and I went to Boro Park and we went past a lingerie shop there which had robes and stuff like that in the window. Outside the shop there was an old chassidish lady sitting on a chair dressed in a tichel and housecoat and my sister commented – “looks like she’s modelling their goods!”
I just purchased the artscroll book on Bircat Kohanim, and the author says that it was only during temple times, when the Shechina rested on the Kohen’s hands, that looking was forbidden. Now, it is just custom (which I know can equate to rule), but the torah requirement is panim el panim, and the author says quick glances during duchanin are okay. (Since I am a kohen, I just put my tallis over my hands and keep my eyes shut).
Regarding lingerie shops, it would seem that if they are encouraging married people, this would be a good thing. Unmarried people, not so much.
Gila: It’s pretty funny. I don’t think you get shown the lingerie things unless your a kallah or married. But it is kinda one-stop shopping.
Leeba: You’re not alone on this one, girl. And it’s not just limited to Shabbes. But it’s one of the delights of being (happily) married – B”H for 16 years in my case.

But what if Mashiach arrives right during duchaning? Why take the chance?
Nice haircut Hesh
Oy don’t even get my started on the haircut
Well, we can’t chas v’shalom buy panties from goyim.
Nice picture
great picture!
nice haircut!-is there a story that goes with it?
True Story: Victoria Secret opens up new locations based on Catalog sales.
So, Opened up new Victoria Secret in Bayswater, near Far Rockaway, Queens.
Problem: Store didn’t do well. Women prefer catalog.
Shua- A hostess gown stands for: Vilst ess? Host ess!
Hi my name is Bob I am from Phoenix,Arizona.I frequent frumsatire quite often. I hear Lakewood,NJ mentioned sometimes in a negative light sometimes in a positive light.But always in a fascinating way.It would be my dream to visit this little town in New Jersey and find out if all the things you guys say are true
Oh wow, that’s great. I probably shouldn’t admit to it, but I’ve been in that store, even purchased some unmentionables there years ago, when I was but a mere lass growing up in CH… ah, memories. Is the store still run by an older gentleman?
Chanief,
An old dude rnning a frum lingerie shop in CH? Something seems awfully wrong with that idea, makes me think of Hugh Hefner.
Do they have a special “extra naughty” stash in the back somewhere?
This posting and all the comments gave me a good laugh!
I needed it as I work in an area of the Bronx, where I am the only jew most people have ever seen. Now lingerie shops I see alot of, and some of the people wear it out on the street!
