The business was started by Frederick Mellinger (inventor of the Push-up Bra ) in 1946 . The original flagship store was a landmark on Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California . In September 2005, after 59 years, the store moved to a smaller space a few blocks away, near the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue. Here, in addition to the selection of bras and panties, there are catsuits, Corset s, stiletto heels, and thigh-high boots. The store no longer houses ''The Lingerie Museum'' featuring ''The Celebrity Lingerie Hall of Fame'' which exhibited a collection of Underwear worn by Hollywood movie stars, such as one of Madonna 's pointy-breasted corsets. Some of the lingerie worn by the 1950s pin-up and Bondage Model Bettie Page was from Frederick's of Hollywood. EXTERNAL LINKS
