When: Wednesday, Nov. 19th, 2008.

What: Pretty chrysanthemum print wrap dress by BCBG Max Azria, with black tights and dark brown socks layered under my Donald J. Pliner boots. Vintage onyx pendant, feathered headband from Target. I really think the new coat at modcloth.com would be cute over this, in a “more is more” kind of way:

Scent: Today was an Agent Provocateur day. Hopefully, we all know the brand. It’s the classic scent, described as “a modern classic combining saffron oil from India, Egyptian Jasmine and Vetivert from Haiti amongst other exotic elements.” It’s nice enough. When I first received it, I didn’t quite get enough sexy from it, but it’s definitely not sugary sweet. There is that. (Things that aren’t “supposed” to get sweet or powdery often become that way as a result of some cursed skin chemistry of mine.) It goes on a bit sharply, but perhaps the jasmine smooths it out and makes it the scent equivalent of a sexy, dirty look across a crowded room. Not hostile, but not very nice, either.

Confession: This says it all for today:

This is terrible of me, but I am cross-posting this parade of very beautiful lingerie from another blog of mine. I can’t help it. It’s all too beautiful to just ignore. I hope you like it, because it’s not as if lingerie will make an appearance on this blog any other way!

NOTE: It’s not exactly safe for work, but it’s Friday night after all.

If I had thousands of dollars to spend on a dozen or so ranges or key pieces, my purchases would look a lot like this…

The below make Agent Provocateur seem like child’s play:

“Floral print and Calais Lace trim by Elise Aucouturier.”

“French silk soft bralette by Elise Aucouturier in an elegant floral print with contrasting black and ivory Calais lace seams.”

Swoon…Chantilly lace!

Boxer shorts for femmes! How I love Tam-Tam.

Ethereal Eres, more…

The above set seems made for the express purpose of eating ice cream on a big wrap-around front porch in a swing or rocking chair, so hot out that the ice cream is melting faster than you can eat it, with a whole bunch of bright stars shining and the sounds of a river close by.

“Sheer cotton crepe bralette with elegant silk trim by sought-after NYC designer Araks.” Certain girls I know might pair these with super dark wash, high-waisted denim shorts and Victorian-esque lace-up boots!

Satin fatale harness bodysuit. Nom.

Lambskin leather. Would make lovely bracelets, don’t you think? (Go on, just guess their intended purpose.)

Cheeky in a deep satin chiffon plum!

And why shouldn’t my lingerie have pockets, hm? Exactly. Good femmes always have a trick or two up their “sleeves.”

It takes a certain kind of arse to pull this silk and chiffon confection off without sliding mightily down the wrongful path of vulgar, but if you’ve got it there’s going to be one lucky recipient of a strip tease to contend with!
