<description>&lt;p&gt;This week's episode is about an underrated -- and often misreprensented -- asset for pleasure: lingerie! Lingerie can make you feel powerful, beautiful, and sensual, even if you're not with a cishet male partner, or any partner at all! In this episode, DB speaks with Emily Bendell, founder of Bluebella, one of the greatest lingerie brands DB's found yet!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GUEST DETAILS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span data-sheets-root= "1"&gt;&lt;a class="in-cell-link" href="https://www.bluebella.us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Bluebella&lt;/a&gt; was born from a simple idea to create luxurious and sensual lingerie for self-assured women. Founded on the belief that strength and sensuality belong in the everyday, Bluebella understands that beautiful lingerie sets a powerful tone for whatever comes next. Bluebella is a multi-award winning brand that has paved the way for accessible luxury in the lingerie industry.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Graduating from the University of Oxford, Bluebella's founder Emily Bendell had a stint in legal journalism before turning her love for lingerie into a business. Seeking to create a new language around contemporary lingerie, Emily launched Bluebella with a mission to re-write what it means to be sensual for the modern woman.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; "Our vision is to re-imagine sensual lingerie as something owned for ourselves. To us, lingerie is a personal self-expression of individual style and spirit. I wanted to create a brand and product that was considered, confident, and true to our experience of wearing lingerie."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-sheets-root="1"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FROM THIS EPISODE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Modern Sensuality Community Campaign: &lt;a href= "https://www.bluebella.us/pages/community-campaign-results" target= "_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://www.bluebella.us/pages/community-campaign-results&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;DB's fav Bluebella lingerie (it's not what you think!): &lt;a href="https://www.bluebella.us/products/noor-sheer-mesh-top-black" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://www.bluebella.us/products/noor-sheer-mesh-top-black&lt;/a&gt; + &lt;a href= "https://www.bluebella.us/products/latex-soft-bodysuit-black" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://www.bluebella.us/products/latex-soft-bodysuit-black&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal;" data-sheets-root="1"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-family: Arial; font-style: normal;"&gt;TAKE OUR SMUT QUIZ&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal;" data-sheets-root="1"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-family: Arial; font-style: normal;"&gt;Find your page-turning turn-on with our new SMUT QUIZ!
