#FashionAlert #UnderneathitAll #LiseCharmel TROPIQUE EN FLEURS 3 Parts Full Cup & Italian Brief in Nature Tropic HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY @MANHATTANPEACHY This Is Your Vacation Essential Set to Up Your Getaway Game!

MANHATTAN IS AN ISLAND.
LISE CHARMEL KNOWS.
Thirteen miles long and two miles wide, Manhattan, the center of the world, is of course the epicenter of high finance, art, culture, commerce, and of course whomyouknow.com which originally was only about the best of Manhattan.
Now, we are about the best of everything: excellence everywhere, and Lise Charmel has shown us that their excellence hails from Lyon, France. 
 And today, we celebrate their merits by wearing Tropique en Fleurs, which to us is the key to your vacation vibes. And if your vacation is in Manhattan, remember, this has been an island for eons! And if you want palm trees, go to 3 World Financial Center where you will find sixteen of them in a perfect four by four sequence.
Everyone works hard for their money, and investing it in the right lingerie can change your life.
We suggest packing this in your carryon so no airline can have an opportunity to miss your luggage connection: once you get to your destination, it is like wearing your own vacation!
Or just wear it on the plane! 
It is that comfortable.
For Peachy, the color combination is a total home run with green, her favorite color, and peach accents. Like the Dazzling Eden bikini, Tropique en Fleurs is not afraid to strike a pose with a bold floral pattern that sings in tune without being loud. It boasts that je ne sais quoi about French style that this brand has been perfecting since 1946.
The soft cup with underwire is truly designed with a 3 parts construction for full support, engineered in a premium fashion we have come to know and love by Lise Charmel.
With an upper cup in printed tulle, this bra is further adorned with scalloped embroidery matching the print and proving this is several steps above the competition to make you and your look subsequentially the most competitive. 
 A thoughtful side and lower cup are printed silk with a basque in tulle, making you ultimately glamourous. The center gore is highlighted by a gold rhinestone jewel matching the print and achieving the perfect highlight. The straps are embellished with rhinestones in matching tones to tantalize your tropic tone. The precision of each frond of palm is gorgeous and captures the lighting on the print beautifully with unsurpassed detailing in fleurs that look quite a lot like the Tiger Lily.

58% Polyamide / Nylon, 16% Silk, 13% Polyester, 11% Elastane / Spandex, 2% Cotton
The Italian Brief underscores this homage to your island getaway, even if it is inside your own Manhattan apartment!
This underwear has an indentation in the front legs and cheer back fabrics giving you flair.
The front is in printed silk, adorned with a fine rhinestone elastic strap. The sides and back are in lace matching the print, while the center back features a tulle triangle decorated with celebrated delicate embroidered motifs.
56% Polyamide / Nylon, 18% Silk, 15% Cotton, 11% Elastane / Spandex
"Tropique en Fleurs is truly unique, with its stunning exclusive design crafted in beautiful silk, Leavers lace, and embroidery that perfectly mirrors the colors of the print. It is one of Lise Charmel’s unique expressions of savoir-faire, combining and mastering the art of assembling these noble fabrics to create truly exquisite lingerie.  The 3-part full cup style in this collection is particularly exceptional, as no other brands offer a silk piece up to an F cup with such outstanding balance, support, and elegance."

Whom You Know Highly Recommends Tropique en Fleurs: 
wear it, and make every day in your life a vacation!  
ENJOY YOUR LIFE.

IBM, Red Hat and Palo Alto Networks Expand Project Lightwell to Help Organizations Respond to Software Vulnerabilities

Collaboration combines vulnerability discovery, virtual patching and software remediation to help organizations reduce the time between vulnerability discovery and protection.

Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Red Hat announced a collaboration to help organizations identify vulnerabilities early and deploy protections fast across open source software, commercial applications, operational technology (OT) and healthcare technologies. By integrating Palo Alto Networks Virtual Patching capability with Project Lightwell from IBM and Red Hat, the collaboration combines rapid network-level protection with software remediation to help organizations reduce exposure to emerging threats.

The collaboration connects IBM and Red Hat’s $5 billion commitment to open source security via Project Lightwell with Palo Alto Networks’ security platform.Share

AI has supercharged vulnerability discovery, enabling flaws to be identified at unprecedented speed and scale. AI-driven threats can uncover security gaps across codebases far faster than defenders can patch them, exposing organizations to systemic supply-chain risks.

Nikesh Arora, CEO and Chairman of Palo Alto Networks

"AI has compressed the window between vulnerability discovery and exploit from weeks to minutes. Traditional patching cannot keep pace. By collaborating with IBM and Red Hat, we are shifting the advantage back to defenders. This powerful combination allows us to neutralize threats in the network while providing uninterrupted business continuity for our global clients."

Arvind Krishna, Chairman and CEO of IBM

"IBM established Project Lightwell to secure the open-source software foundation that enterprises rely on every day. By collaborating with Palo Alto Networks, we are extending that security from the source code directly to the network front lines. This joint solution gives our clients exactly what they need to thrive in the AI era: immediate, automated resilience against emerging threats, combined with the rigorous validation required to safely update their core systems."

A Seamless "Shield-and-Fix" Workflow

The collaboration connects IBM and Red Hat’s $5 billion commitment to open source security via Project Lightwell with Palo Alto Networks’ security platform. This creates a dual-action defense: Palo Alto Networks rapidly deploys a virtual patch at the network layer to block exploit attempts, while IBM and Red Hat’s Project Lightwell offers software remediation for open source software that customers can test and deploy in their environments.

The collaboration combines vulnerability intelligence, software remediation and network-based protections to help organizations respond quickly to newly discovered vulnerabilities. Key capabilities include:Broader Vulnerability Coverage: Protection across open source software, commercial applications, operational technology (OT) environments and connected devices.
Preemptive Coverage: Organizations can receive virtual patch protections before official software patches become available, helping reduce exposure while remediation is underway.
Rapid Protection: When a new vulnerability is discovered, network-level protections can be deployed the same day, with a long-term goal of reducing the time from validated discovery to protection.

The companies also plan to establish secure processes for sharing vulnerability information across participating software vendors, technology providers and security teams. This collaboration is expected to support coordinated vulnerability disclosure, accelerate protection development and provide anonymized telemetry on real-world exploitation attempts.

Expert Deployment via IBM Consulting

To help organizations respond more effectively to newly discovered vulnerabilities, IBM Security Services can also provide advisory and deployment services that help customers identify which vulnerabilities pose the greatest risk to their business and determine the best path to remediation. Working alongside Palo Alto Networks' virtual patching capabilities and Project Lightwell's software remediation capabilities, IBM Security Services can help customers prioritize, deploy and validate protections and fixes across complex environments.

#SummerintheCity #SportyPeachy @ymcanyc YMCA of Greater New York and Anthem Expand Lifeguard Training Program to Address NYC Lifeguard Shortage

To help address New York City's ongoing lifeguard shortage while creating new employment opportunities, the YMCA of Greater New York, with support from Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, is expanding its Community Lifesavers program across Queens and North Brooklyn.

"Community Lifesavers demonstrates how workforce development and community health go hand in hand," said Dr. Christy Valentine Theard, president of Medicare and Medicaid at Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in New York.Share

The Community Lifesavers initiative expands access to swim instruction, aquatic safety training, and lifeguard certification in neighborhoods where opportunities have historically been limited. The program also helps participants earn nationally recognized credentials that can lead to employment in aquatic safety and recreation. Since the initiative’s launch in 2021, the YMCA has certified 796 lifeguards across New York City.

Anthem's support will help the YMCA train and certify 50 lifeguards through October 2026. To date, 46 participants have already earned certification through the grant-supported program. This training includes branches in Queens (Cross Island, Flushing, Jamaica, and Rockaway) and North Brooklyn.

“At the community level, this is about more than filling jobs,” said Cedric Dew, executive director of the Jamaica YMCA in Queens, New York. “It is about giving people access to skills that can save lives, build confidence, and open the door to meaningful employment. By training and certifying more lifeguards, Anthem and the Y are helping to ensure that more pools and beaches are open this summer, and more New Yorkers have access to high-quality swim instruction.”

New York City has faced recurring lifeguard shortages in recent years, resulting in reduced pool hours and staffing challenges at public swimming facilities. Anthem’s support builds on a broader YMCA effort to reduce barriers to lifeguard certification, including cost, access to training, and job readiness support.

"Community Lifesavers demonstrates how workforce development and community health go hand in hand," said Dr. Christy Valentine Theard, president of Medicare and Medicaid at Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in New York. "By helping New Yorkers gain valuable job skills and lifesaving certifications, we're creating economic opportunity while making our communities safer."

The initiative reflects Anthem's commitment to addressing social determinants of health by investing in workforce development, economic mobility, and community safety.

New Yorkers interested in becoming certified lifeguards can learn more and apply through the YMCA of Greater New York's lifeguard training program at the YMCA’s lifeguard information page.

#PatrioticPeachy Marine Veteran Who Spent a Lifetime Serving Others Receives Surprise Home Makeover as Community Rallies for America 250®

For more than three decades, Marine Corps Veteran Minnie Whitzel answered the call to serve.

She served her country for 31 years. She founded VFW Post 12235. She spent countless hours helping Veterans in need, building community, and ensuring no Veteran felt forgotten.
Minnie Surprise Home Makeover Reveal
Community Welcome Home

But after a series of difficult life circumstances forced Minnie to start over, the woman who had spent a lifetime helping others, suddenly found herself in need of help herself. She was sleeping on an air mattress in a home desperately in need of repairs. What happened next is a powerful reminder of what community looks like. As part of a special America 250® episode, the award-winning television series Moving With The Military surprised Minnie with a life-changing home makeover. Veterans, volunteers, local businesses, and community members came together to transform her home and honor a woman whose impact on the community cannot be measured.

Over several days, dozens of volunteers worked side by side to complete landscaping, drainage improvements, plumbing repairs, painting, lighting upgrades, new doors, furnished living spaces, a refreshed laundry room, and countless other improvements designed to restore comfort, dignity, and independence.

"What makes this story extraordinary isn't the renovation," said hosts Maria and Patrick Reed. "It's the people. An entire community showed up for someone who has spent her life showing up for others." The episode is part of Moving With The Military's America 250® celebration, highlighting the service, sacrifice, and citizenship that continue to define our nation 250 years after its founding.

"America 250® isn't just about reflecting on our nation's history," said Maria Reed, Executive Producer and Host of Moving With The Military. "It's about recognizing the people who continue to embody the values that built this country—service, sacrifice, resilience, and community. Minnie spent decades serving her nation and fellow Veterans. This makeover is our way of saying thank you, and reminding her that she is not alone."

The transformation was made possible through the support of title sponsor Newrez, a top VA lender* and Military Friendly® company that has partnered with Moving With The Military for seven consecutive seasons and over 50 home makeovers to honor Veteran and Military families across the country. Newrez currently serves hundreds of thousands of Veterans and Military families nationwide, underscoring its long-standing commitment to the Military community.

"At Newrez, supporting Veterans isn't something we do once a year—it's part of who we are," said Brittany Boccher, National Director - VA Strategy & Military Engagement at Newrez. "Minnie's story represents the very best of our country. She dedicated her life to serving others, and we're honored to help ensure she knows her service and sacrifice have not been forgotten. As America prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, this project is a powerful reminder of what's possible when communities come together to make home happen for those who have given so much."

The episode culminates in an emotional reveal as Minnie returns home to see the transformation for the first time and witness the impact of a community determined to thank her for a lifetime of service.

In a time when division often dominates headlines, Minnie's story offers a different message, one of gratitude, generosity, and neighbors helping neighbors. A message that feels especially meaningful as America approaches its 250th anniversary.

Episode premieres July 2, 2026 on VetStreamTV, YouTube and Facebook.

#FashionAlert #UnderneathitAll #KeepingFranceonTop #LiseCharmel HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY @ManhattanPeachy SOIR DE VENISE 3 Parts Full Cup and Italian Brief in Bleu Venise Puts the Refined Sexy in Navy to Start Your Week Off on a High Note!

When a line exudes such high-level sophistication as is signature of Lise Charmel, it's evident that even Monday mornings can be a fashion revelation when you start with the building blocks of a fabulous outfit: the lingerie, of course! Dating back to 1946 in Lyon, France, Lise Charmel has a proven track record of celebrating all women and their figures in the most enchanting fashion. Striking the high note of classiness, we introduce you today to the Soir de Venise line, which makes a buttoned-up Monday not so buttoned-up after all! Anyone can do black, but Lise Charmel with this line colors your world with a gorgeous midnight blue called Bleu Venise!

Peachy Deegan is wearing it right now and loves it, and highly recommends this Lise Charmel stunner.  It is comfortable as well as being beautiful, and this is extremely hard to find.  Sizing is across the board according to your exact body, and the lingerie engineers at Lise Charmel make the proportions of every element of the garment correctly for your specific size.  If you see a size smaller than you, you should know that the strap will not be that skinny and dig into you if you are a bigger size: the strap will increase in width commensurately.

Also, you readers we know are equally into details and you'll find on the exact garment a Dentelle de Calais Caudry authentification.  That means lace woven in France - in our eyes, that is keeping France on top.  This tag is both on the bra and the briefs we feature here. You can learn even more with the QR code on the tag.
Previously on Whom You Know, we showcased perfect periwinkle and ravishing red by this brand and the hit parade shows no sign of stopping.  Just like the lines of a brilliantly fast sportscar, this Three Parts Full Cup Soir de Venise is two-toned in design: see through on the top half and more solid on the bottom half of each cup to capture your curves and rev up engines all around. This elevated style truly makes you stand out, and is further accentuated with the enchanting stitches that cascade in perfect symmetry from the middle out and even up the straps with just the right touch.  The Soir de Venise line is a refined feminine design of timeless beauty symbolizing seduction and love.  The soft underwired bra is crafted in Calais lace. This bra offers exceptional support as well as a natural and comfortable fit, an achievement few competitors can reach. Interlocking cups in three parts, embroidered with guipure inlay and rhinestones, this even makes Mondays something to look forward to underneath your navy suit or dress. Fine adjustable straps add femininity and lightness. The perfect finishing touch is a delicate satin bow and mask with rhinestones at center gore.

73% Polyamide / Nylon, 14% Elastane / Spandex, 10% Polyester, 2% Cotton, 1% Other
There is a Noir Diamant (black) and Rouge Venise (red) option available also in this style line.

And as our experience shows with Lise Charmel, there are variations of tops and bottoms in this line to celebrate your physical assets as you see fit. They do not pigeonhole you into their way: you pick your way and we love that.
The bra we highly recommend, above

The brief we love with this 3 Parts Full Cup bra is the Italian Brief:

Briefs in Calais lace indented on the front mirrors the sophistication on top by the bra. This brief releases the thigh and discovers the mid-buttock with sensuality and an embroidered braid shows the perfect French touch. A final salute to excellence is a delicate satin bow and mask with rhinestones located in the middle of the back.  Life is too short to not have rhinestones on your undergarments!

64% Polyamide / Nylon, 18% Polyester, 11% Cotton, 7% Elastane / Spandex

"Inspired by the grandeur of Venice’s most lavish celebrations, this collection unveils enchanting arabesques that pay homage to love and seduction. A true icon of artisanal luxury, its exquisite embroidery is adorned with hand-applied rhinestones, while the décolleté is enhanced by a delicate Venetian mask-shaped jewel, crowned with a satin bow.
A masterpiece of excellence, this collection brings together the finest craftsmanship, shaping legendary pieces that embody elegance and allure."

Available in Diamond Black, Venice Blue and Venice Red.

#CulturedPeachy @Smithsonian #BostonPeachy #BigAppleBusiness Museum of American Finance to Open Free Community Museum on Boston’s Commonwealth Pier

The Museum of American Finance, an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, will open its new exhibit headquarters on Commonwealth Pier in the Boston Seaport on Friday, July 3. Admission to the 5,400 sq ft Museum will be free of charge, reflecting its core mission of making financial education accessible to all.

The Museum worked with the renowned firm G&A Strategy and Design to create world-class exhibits that draw from the Museum’s collections—while integrating the latest technologies in a partnership with the Fidelity Center for Applied Technology (FCAT). The Museum will feature seven inaugural exhibits in Boston:“America in Circulation,” an interactive currency exhibit featuring hundreds of the most beautiful and interesting examples of American money, on loan from the collection of Mark R. Shenkman
“Alexander Hamilton Experience,” featuring a multilingual AI-generated Hamilton, developed in partnership with FCAT
“A Financial Revolution,” bringing to life the founding of the US financial system, to mark the nation’s 250th anniversary
“Investing in US Financial History,” a six-station interactive timeline enabling visitors to take a deeper dive into the history of the US financial markets, from the 18th century through today
“Hub of Innovation,” on the role Massachusetts has played in the nation’s financial development (sponsored by MassMutual)
“The Future of Finance,” on the worlds of blockchain, crypto, tokenization and the evolution of financial technology (sponsored by Bitwise)
“Personal Finance,” a hands-on exploration of the tools needed to achieve and maintain a healthy financial life, presented by the Personal Finance Institute

The exhibits were guest curated by some of the nation’s leading experts in finance, economics and numismatic history, including Rahul Arora, Ric Edelman, Mark Higgins and Richard Sylla. The lead sponsors are Fidelity Investments, Bitwise, MassMutual, and Rosalind E. and Mark R. Shenkman, as well as founders John E. Herzog and the Rodney S. Klein Stock Market Museum & Library.

“We are thrilled that our opening in Boston coincides with our nation’s 250th anniversary, as our exhibits will give school groups, tourists and the local community an opportunity to view the country’s founding financial documents, many of which have never before been on public display,” said MoAF President David Cowen. “Visitors will leave our Museum with a greater understanding and appreciation for our nation’s financial history—much of it centered in the Boston Harbor area—as well as knowledge that will help them better their own financial lives.”

In 2025, the Museum announced it had signed a 10-year lease for exhibit space at Commonwealth Pier, the waterfront destination in Boston’s Seaport being developed by Pembroke, the international real estate business.

"We are delighted to welcome a free museum with an important educational mission to Commonwealth Pier—improving financial literacy,” said Kristan McLaughlin, Director, Customer Experience and Asset Operations at Pembroke. “The Museum’s focus on American financial history complements Commonwealth Pier’s historic ties to Boston’s maritime and commercial legacy, and its mission furthers our commitment to creating a new waterfront destination designed for exploration and connection."

The Museum’s opening in Boston marks the first time it will have a permanent exhibit headquarters since it left its former home at 48 Wall Street in New York City in 2018. Founded in 1989, the Museum has a 37-year track record of creating engaging, state-of-the-art exhibits in New York and around the country, with traveling exhibits and temporary installations bringing its collections to national audiences since the closing of its Wall Street space. Its rich archive spans the entirety of American finance and houses one of the nation’s most important collections of 18th century US financial documents, including multiple letters and documents from Alexander Hamilton that established the basis for the US financial system.

The Museum’s events and educational initiatives—offered for free in both virtual and in-person formats—currently reach more than 10,000 students and adults annually. The Museum will add Boston-based programs via partnerships with Boston area community organizations and educational institutions to supplement its existing programming.

#CruisingPeachy #HistoryPeachy The 1965 Ford Mustang America Fell in Love with Inducted into National Historic Vehicle Register

Hagerty Drivers Foundation Welcomes 1965 Ford Mustang Magic Skyway Car into the National Historic Vehicle Register as Nation Marks 250th Celebration

The Hagerty Drivers Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to preserving automotive culture and history, today announced the induction of a 1965 Ford Mustang convertible as the 38th vehicle added to the National Historic Vehicle Register (NHVR). The announcement coincides with the opening of Ford Motor Company's "Driving America Forward" exhibit at Union Station in Washington, D.C., where the car is on public display through July 14.


The 1965 Ford Mustang America Fell in Love with Inducted into National Historic Vehicle Register

The vehicle, a Wimbledon White convertible, is one of 23 Mustangs that carried visitors through the Ford Pavilion's legendary Magic Skyway attraction at the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair. Fitted with special undercarriage rigging and pulled along a cable track, this Mustang traveled an estimated 5,000 miles over six months, transporting approximately 40,000 passengers through a Disney-designed journey from prehistoric times into the space age - all without burning a drop of fuel. It is one of only a handful of Magic Skyway Mustangs known to survive, and among the finest restored examples.

"The 1965 Mustang display at the World's Fair wasn't just a car launch, in many ways it was the launch of an entire generation," said McKeel Hagerty, Chairman of Hagerty and the President of the Board of Directors of the Hagerty Drivers Foundation. "This particular car carried tens of thousands of enthusiasts into the future at the most celebrated exhibition of its era. Its story belongs to all Americans, and there is no better moment to make that official than America's 250th birthday."

This 1965 Ford Mustang, VIN 5F08T383386, is owned by Sam Pack of Texas and was treated to a careful restoration in 2015 that preserved its original components, including its factory 200 cubic inch inline-six engine and three-speed, Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. The Hagerty Drivers Foundation is currently completing the full NHVR documentation package - including laser scanning, professional photography, and a written historic report - in partnership with the U.S. Department of the Interior's Historic American Engineering Record (HAER). The documentation will be permanently archived in the Library of Congress as HAER No. TX-3410. The documentation is underwritten by Ford Motor Company.

"Ford is honored to document this historic milestone in our heritage as part of the America 250 celebration. Ford put America on wheels, and the Mustang is the soul of that legacy," said Ted Ryan, Heritage Brand Manager and Archivist at Ford. "Its induction into our nation's library ensures that the Mustang's rich cultural impact will inspire generations to come."

"The Mustang is one of America's most beloved automobiles, and this car represents its very birth - unveiled not in a showroom, but on the grandest stage imaginable, carrying tens of thousands of people through a vision of the future at the New York World's Fair," said Casey Maxon, Director of Heritage, Hagerty Drivers Foundation. "It was an immediate, undeniable hit. The public didn't just notice the Mustang, they fell in love with it on the spot. As we mark 250 years of American history, it's worth remembering that for nearly half of that history, the automobile has been woven into the fabric of this country's identity. What better way to honor that legacy than with this Mustang convertible, one of the most iconic enthusiast cars ever produced."

The Magic Skyway Mustang is featured in the "Shaping Pop Culture" chapter of Ford's Driving America Forward exhibit, displayed in an illuminated glass case among artifacts from Ford's Heritage Archive. The exhibit spans seven themed chapters and is free to the public at Union Station through July 14, 2026.

The National Historic Vehicle Register documents and records vehicles of significant importance in American history and culture. Documentation of each vehicle is a partnership between the Hagerty Drivers Foundation and the U.S. Department of the Interior's Historic American Engineering Record, and is permanently archived in the Library of Congress.
