From Telenovelas to My Life’s Chaos
Ashley’s Shapewear Obsession
Alright, ladies, let me set the scene. Picture Ashley (yes, that’s me) with a lukewarm coffee in one hand, my phone in the other, and my three little hurricanes (aka my boys) in full-blown chaos mode in the background. But what am I doing? Watching clips of the legendary Silvia Pinal, the queen of elegance, drama, and resilience.
Let’s take a moment to honor Silvia, who passed away on November 28, 2024, at the age of 93. A true icon of Mexican cinema and television, Silvia’s career spanned over seven decades, with unforgettable roles in films like Viridiana (1961), The Exterminating Angel (1962), and Simon of the Desert (1965), directed by Luis Buñuel. She also captivated audiences through her work in telenovelas and live theater, leaving an indelible mark on the entertainment world.
Recently, Silvia was honored for her extraordinary career at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City. This celebration of her achievements was a fitting tribute to a woman whose talent and poise inspired generations. Silvia showed us that grace and resilience never go out of style—and if there’s one thing I’ve learned from her, it’s that life’s drama should always be met with a touch of glamour.

Strapless Shapewear: Channel Your Inner Silvia
Let’s start with the holy grail: strapless shapewear. Silvia was known for her show-stopping looks, and you just know she wasn’t letting a strap distract from her perfectly sculpted gowns.
For your red carpet moments—or, you know, date night at a pizza place—my go-to is the Wacoal Red Carpet Strapless Bra It lifts, smooths, and stays put no matter how much drama unfolds. This isn’t just a bra; it’s a lifestyle.
Picture me at a wedding last month, chasing a runaway flower girl in heels. Thanks to this bra? Not a single wardrobe malfunction. Silvia would’ve been proud.

Commando Shapewear: For the No-Nonsense Diva
Now, Silvia may have been a queen of glamour, but she also had a no-nonsense vibe—just like Commando shapewear. This brand doesn’t mess around.
Take the Commando Neoprene Wide Leg Pant I wore these to a client meeting last week with the Commando Neoprene CEO Double-Breasted Blazer, and let me tell you, I felt like a boss. The pants are so comfy, I didn’t even notice I was still wearing them during bedtime stories.

Tummy Control Leggings: Everyday Glam
Let’s be real: as much as I’d love to waltz through life in dramatic gowns, most of my days involve PTA meetings, coffee runs, and chasing my kids around the park. Enter tummy control leggings, the real MVPs of my wardrobe.
The Commando Perfect Control Legging is basically my uniform. It smooths everything out and pairs perfectly with anything—from an oversized sweater to that blazer I mentioned earlier. It’s like having your life together, even if you don’t.
