retro lingerie?

Know any stores in the Detroit/Ann Arbor area that carry retro lingerie (like what a 50s pinup girl would wear?)  I was hoping to get some for my boudoir pics.  Also, if you did boudoir pics, what suggestions do you have?  I'm planning on having a drink or two to relax, but I'm afraid I'll be nervous and look un-sexy.

    I found a really cute, kind of retro looking, bra and panties set at Kohls of all places!  The brand was Candies, I think it's technically "juniors" lingerie, but it was cute.  I also found a super affordable, also kind of retro looking, corset at H&M.  Although not all H&M's have lingerie, and I honestly can't remember which mall it was. :(  Not Briarwood, but possibly the one in Livonia.  

    I actually was more nervous for my e-pics than my b-pics!  I'm not sure why.  I had a little champagne before my b-pics, but I really didn't think it was that bad.  I only picked outfits I was totally comfortable in (nothing too revealing), started with my most conservative one and went from there.  It helped that my photographer was very nice. :)  I didn't do any terribly weird poses or anything, mostly just laying on the bed.  I will tell you, I really wasn't happy with how my "sexy face" turned out in pictures, lol.  So for my photo book, I selected mostly ones where you couldn't see my face or where I was just smiling like normal.  So just make sure you take a bunch of photos and some are bound to look good!
