TORONTO, ON –(Marketwired – January 26, 2016) – -TBMBM is using their proven success to enter the lingerie market in Canada. They purchased the pricy domain LACE.com and are using their resources and expertise to create a site that meets the demands of the Canadian market for both standard and plus sizes.
TBMBM is a family owned and operated business with a track record of successful e-commerce sites. Their current operation started with a few folding tables and a small initial investment and now employs over 40 people in two countries. Their growth in just eight years is credit to an eager Canadian market that was lacking a reliable and affordable Canadian based site to purchase adult novelties and lingerie. PinkCherry.com opened their adult e-commerce site in 2008 and continues to double their business year over year. In 2009 they opened their Canadian wholesale site and in 2010 they moved from their original 6,000 square foot warehouse to a 25,000 square foot facility to meet consumer demand. A new expansion occurred in 2014 with the opening of a 40,000 square foot Las Vegas warehouse to meet the American market. LACE.com is the newest venture aiming to fill the gap for competitively priced lingerie in Canada.
Their simple, yet extremely successful philosophy, is to give the consumer exactly what they want from an online experience. LACE.com prides itself on excellent customer service, competitive pricing and fast shipping. “We are sparing no expense to make LACE.com the go to site for lingerie in Canada,” says Daniel Freedman, CEO of TBMBM, “We understand what the Canadian market wants and needs and we plan to give it to them.”

A lingerie brand is being praised for using a curvy teenager to model their latest line – and she’s been touted as a ‘normal-sized’ lingerie model .
Barbie Ferreira is a US size 12 – a 16 here in the UK – and is celebrating her size by appearing un-retouched in the campaign just launched by Aerie, a lingerie off-shoot of American Eagle.
The 19-year-old is the face of their new AerieReal ad campaign, and she’s appeared in this striking video explaining how she feels about her body image.
Barbie, who has been dubbed the “Queen of in-between” and boasts more than 200,000 Instagram followers, is in the ‘the real you is sexy’ campaign.

The Wilhelmina Models girl is also fairly forthright about shape and size on her Twitter feed.
Post as Bored Barbara, she said this week: “I have to remind myself that people are so cruel about bodies because they never see average bodies on their screens and it’s new to them.”

She went on to discount their comments, posting: “I don’t really care much about what they say except just super inaccurate s*** like I’m promoting obesity. What?!? I’m not close to medically obese.”
Then she added: “Which isn’t necessarily bad either but my body is super average – it’s a size 12. I work out, I eat extremely healthy – I live my life.”
Which isn’t necessarily bad either but my body is super average it’s a size 12 I work out I eat extremely healthy I live my life lol

She explains in the Aerie video: “I am unapologetically myself, no matter what anyone’s opinion is.
“Not being retouched in the images is something that’s very important to me – people knowing that, that’s what I look like without anyone’s perception of what my body needs to look like.”
The online response so far has been overwhelming positive.
@boredbarbara Thank you for not perpetuating the irresponsible and unattainable photo-shopped body types in most mags. You are beautiful!

User Velma Rocks tweeted Barbie: “Thank you for not perpetuating the irresponsible and unattainable photo-shopped body types in most mags. You are beautiful!”

In an interview last November, Barbie said she was unhappy with the “inaccurate” terms “plus size”, and gave Instagram her stamp of approval for offering a “raw, uncensored platform” for women to model.
“I’m not plus size,” she says. “I have never bought an article of clothing that is plus size.”
According to Business Insider , Aerie’s sales increased 18 per cent in the second quarter of 2015, compared to just 3 per cent at Victoria’s Secret.
Aerie is available online at aeo.com or in all American Eagle Outfitters stores in the UK (including Westfield London, Westfield Stratford and Bluewater Kent).
