    LoveFifi.com is more than just fabulous, sexy, oh-so-deliciously sensual lingerie. LoveFifi.com is an online destination for women who want more; more hot ‘n' spicy, more excitement, more Hollywood glamour. Fashion maven, Fifi, herself will gently guide you each step of the way.

She is the best-friend/soulmate you've always wanted, with a touch of Erma Bombeck – and a little Mae West thrown in for fun!

    Whether you're big and voluptuous or pert as a high school cheerleader, LoveFifi.com is for everyone. Created by Amanda Diaz, fashion expert with 30 years of industry experience, along with e-commerce guru, Gary Landry, LoveFifi.com encourages women to take a break from their everyday fashion choices and to experience sexy, sensual and liberating clothing and lingerie – even if it's just for one night! LoveFifi.com believes that when you experience the soft, lacy (and forgiving!) feel of LoveFifi.com's line of lingerie, once will, most certainly, not be enough!

    "We created LoveFifi.com as a safe haven for women to try out more sexy fashions without breaking the bank, ask those questions she's always wanted to ask, and gain a little more self confidence," says Amanda Diaz, known to her staff as Queen Executive Officer (with tongue firmly planted in cheek!). "We have combined our years of experience in our respective industries and created, what we believe, is an exceptionally successful business model," adds Gary Landry, CEO.

    LoveFifi.com offers a wide array of high quality lingerie, men's and women's fun and sexy clothing, shoes and even some items known to top fashion models that help re-shape a woman's body for the "just right" look. All of their products are top-of-the-line quality at an affordable price.

    In addition to their vast product line, LoveFifi.com also offers their clients special services not found at other lingerie websites. At LoveFifi.com they believe that helping their customers look their best on the outside is only half of the plan. They are firmly committed to helping their customers feel their best on the inside, too. Fifi, like the great Erma Bombeck, shares with her readers her witty insights into real issues faced by all women everyday. Readers can also ask Fifi any of those questions that might raise an eyebrow with their friends about love, sex, fashion and fantasy. Fifi's responses are heartfelt, practical and maybe just a little naughty – a la Mae West.

    Soon to be added to the website are Fifi Grams, In the News, personalized horoscopes and much, much more. Their tag line, "Rendezvous With the Real You" is a call-to-arms for women to take action and demand more of themselves and for themselves.

  • EXCITING WEBSITE ELEMENTS

  • Bras & Corsets
    Where can you find a sexy demi bra in sizes 32A to 42G? Or exquisite corsetry that not only fits cup sizes to F, but will also cinch up to 2 inches off the midriff? The answer is LoveFifi.com! Fifi has designed foundations and lingerie for 30 years. She believes, with all her heart, that sexy support isn't just for 34 B's.

And the best part is; only Fifi and YOU will ever know. So, if it needs to be boosted, slimmed, padded, cinched, or enhanced, wishing won't make it so, but Fifi can!

    Panties
    Thongs, G-strings, briefs and boy leg styles to wow you. The best news? They come in sizes small to 5X!

    Lingerie
    Lingerie is for everyBODY. Remember how the glamour queens of the ‘40's movies used to dress? Sweeping gowns with face framing ruffles, dramatic sleeves that punctuate every gesture. Body caressing silhouettes in styles and fabrics that capture both light and curves. Every piece of lingerie at LoveFifi.com celebrates not only the female form, but also the art of movement. Fifi shows you that there are styles that flatter every body type, whether you are a size 2 or 22. She shows you how to accentuate the prettiest parts of the body and disguise the not-so-perfect parts. Figure flaws are not a reason to shy away from lingerie.

    Fantasy
    Role playing, dressing up, acting the part, and the element of surprise. If variety is truly the spice of life, then our fantasy section is the whole spice rack.

    Love Stuff
    What in the world is Love Stuff, you ask? Good question! Fifi has gathered special little items for when it's just the two of you.

    Men's
    Fifi doesn't think that you have to be the hero from a romance novel, or that only the girls get the soft, draping fabrics. Fifi can turn any man into your "Lover Boy" with just the addition of Fifi's signature items, like her sexy Tailored Silk Boxers, rockin' Biker Jeans, Break-a-Way Thong, or French Revolution shirt.

    Model Secrets
    Those models are so perfect. How do they do it? Not without help. Fifi has shapewear to create a sexy hourglass figure, control panties to slim the hips, breasts enhancers to lift and add volume to any bustline, and her famous padded panty to shape like a real derrière.

    Bridal
    Whether it's shaping for under the gown, a wedding night peignoir, or the wardrobe for the honeymoon, it's just like that old saying: Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something from LoveFifi.com!

  • ABOUT THE CREATORS

  • AMANDA DIAZ - President/QEO (Queen Executive Officer)


    It's not easy speaking the language of bustiers, corsets, and bras, but no tongue does it roll off easier than that of Los Angeles native, Amanda Diaz. Her young creative sprit and addictive personality burst her onto the fashion scene at an early age.

    Amanda has a BS in Fashion Design, and has been in the industry since 1970. Beginning at Lane Bryant, she started out as a stylist for big and tall clothing. After gaining valuable hands-on experience, Amanda worked for what is today known as Lerner NY. There she was in charge of their estimated $15 million intimate apparel department from 1972-1983.

    Amanda was then lured by Frederick's of Hollywood in 1984, immediately after founder Mr. Frederick Mellinger retired. She was brought in to carry out his vision, and it was there that she became buyer and designer for their famous lingerie and clothing catalogue. It was not long until she was promoted to product specialist and curator of the Frederick's of Hollywood Lingerie Museum.

    For fifteen years, Amanda created fashion firsts, like silicone breast enhancers, the famous Kiss Bra, and camisoles with built-in bras. In the mid 1990's she took corsetry to new heights, and exploded them at Frederick's of Hollywood. Her designs are seen everywhere.

    In 1999, Amanda was promoted to the official spokesperson for Frederick's. She had appeared on two E! Channel Specials, one A&E Feature, MSNBC (which profiled Amanda), Fashion Emergency, The View, The Queen Latifah Show, The Other Half, Tele Mundo, and countless morning news programs. She has been featured in numerous print publications including, People, LA Times, NY Times, Women's Wear Daily; and has contributed to many articles in Allure, Marie Claire, Bride's Magazine, and People en Espanol, just to name a few.

    In January of 2000, under the strategic direction of former CEO of Fredericks.com, Gary Landry, they created the "Ask Amanda" character who became Frederick's renowned advice columnist. She shared her expertise in fashion, underwear and love with thousands of her loyal online customers and fans.

    Connoisseur of love and fashion by day, mother of five children and wife of a superior court judge by night, Amanda would like to let you in on a little secret: LoveFifi.com; a refreshing haven to enrich, enhance, and even encourage the experience of being in love. It is here that the transition from her Ask Amanda character to her alter ego, Fifi, was brought to another realm. Fifi's philosophy is, "Sexy is not about age or size. Gorgeous is gorgeous." She is like the best friend you never met.

    As fashion ambassador, Amanda knows her "body magic." She is back with her innovative ideas and undeniable talent to design. Her consistent drive, dedication, and flare will put LoveFifi.com in the forefront of the fashion superhighway.

    Her hobbies are reading, gardening, hiking, choir singing, geriatric ballet (kidding....sort of).


    GARY LANDRY - Chief Executive Officer (CEO)


    What do crotchless panties, civil engineering and Led Zeppelin all have in common? Two words: Gary Landry. From Internet Technology to lingerie, Gary is no stranger to taking start up companies and exploding them into profitable enterprises.

    Gary's first foray into the world of E-Business started in 1994. As Vice President of E-Business and Strategic Planning for Tech Data Corporation, he increased e-commerce revenue from $10,000 per month to an impressive $750 million per year in less than 3 years. Tech Data Corporation (NASDAQ/NMS: TECD), the leading worldwide provider of IT products and logistics management, is a Fortune 500 company that generated an estimated $17.5 billion in sales worldwide last year.

    Gary joined the fashion front on January 3, 2000 as CEO of Fredericks.com. One of his greatest accomplishments was growing Frederick's revenue from an estimated $3 million to an astonishing $30 million in less than 3 years. It was there he met and become good friends with Amanda Diaz, former designer and later advice columnist for Fredericks.com.

    Gary's achievements have been recognized in a wide variety of distinguished online and print publications, such as Business Week (June 2000), USAToday.com, Einstein Magazine, Red Herring Magazine and Lucky.com. Gary has also spoken at the LA Direct Marketing Association Conference and the Media Metrix Annual Conference in 2001.

    Not only is Gary a Southern gentleman, born in Lafayette, Louisiana on January 3, 1957, he's also one smart cookie. His educational background includes a BS in Civil Engineering from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, a MS in Engineering Systems from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, and an Executive MBA from the University of South Florida.

    When Gary's not busy being an online marketing genius for LoveFifi.com, he enjoys whipping up culinary delights, covering his walls with colorful contemporary art, relaxing to a little Led Zeppelin and spending time with his wife Kathryn and two children. Gary's drive and dedication will help put LoveFifi.com on the top of the lingerie marketplace.
