Have a Kinky Little Christmas ... Frame Bra by Kiki de Montparnasse

When it comes to sexual fantasy, some men prefer their leading ladies to be in their own skin or also known as naked. But there are also men who prefer seeing their women in lingerie, provocative and alluringly sexy lingerie.

But here’s a problem – what if the man prefers his woman to be in lingerie but also a tad naked at the same time? Well, intimate fashion and lifestyle purveyor from the Stateside, Kiki de Montparnasse knows how to handle it very well. Boys, say hi to the innovative yet stimulating Frame bra from its bold Cage collection.

Why Cage?

The Cage collection is designed to mimic the appearance of cages, with lots of cut-outs on strategic position. The tactical positioning and feminine shape also give the Cage collection a distinctive look and feel.

What is the bra’s drool factor?
The drool factor lies on the design of the bra itself. First of all, the bra is away from the conventional bra design. Furthermore, it has no fabric insert to support and cover the breasts, making it truly erotic and unique at the same time.

Are the nipple covers optional?

Yes, definitely. This practical piece of lingerie allows you to style it based on your own preference. Therefore, the choices (nipple show or no show) are always yours!

Does it come with a matching bottom?

It is but sold separately. The panty (US$125.00) too has all-over ruching trim with French lace front and stretch fit. There’s also a separately sold garter (US$175.00) too if you want a complete ensemble.

Panty would be too much coverage for me and I prefer to see more skin.

Then go for Cage panty (US$295.00). This panty has lots of cut-outs with barely there coverage on the front and side.

Okay, so I have the bra, the panty and the garter. Still, my intimate moment is lack of fun. Is there any add-on?

Well, yes. Besides lingerie and lounge or sleepwear, Kiki de Montparnasse also has a selection of pleasure instruments to spice up your intimate moments. If your man loves being restrained and at the same time, has the predilection of being spanked and dominated, this Restraining Art Kit would make the perfect sex gift for both of you. It comes with wrist and ankle cuffs, straps and paddle, all in supple leather for spanking.

How much does a “sex to remember” will cost me?

The frame bra retails at US$195.00 while the Restraining Art Kit will set you back at US$995.00 a set.

Where can I get them?

Beckham Heats Up The Traffic!

Now, there are more than one reason for ladies to subscribe men’s fashion bible like GQ and Details. Why? Because David Beckham is on the Emporio Armani Underwear ad campaign!

Shot in black and white by renowned photography duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot at the renowned Malibu beach of LA, one of the famous Californian beaches where celebrities are known to have their multi-million mansions there, the campaign features the sexy and world-famous Brit soccer player working out in nothing but scanty Emporio Armani men’s undies.

To officiate the campaign, Macy’s San Francisco was chosen to be the venue with 6000 curious crowds flooding the storefront area. But amongst the sea of humans, particularly his die-hard fans, only hundreds who bought the Emporio Armani undies were given the money-can’t-buy privilege of meeting the man on the giant billboard himself – the supreme David Beckham.

Dressed in crisp grey Giorgio Armani suit, the event that took place on the recent 18th June saw Beckham addressing his opening speech in front of the anticipating and cheering crowd.

Alas, the moment of truth has arrived and the billboard was revealed. Of course those who didn’t witness the ceremony could imagine how hysterical his female fans could be during that period.

Apart from the US, the Emporio Armani Underwear ad campaign featuring David Beckham will be made available in other major chic cities around the world including New York, London, Milan, Rome, and also Paris.

In Asia, Tokyo, the Japanese modern-day capital where Beckham-mania thrives among its fashion-forward women and youth, will also be included in the list.

Besides being positioned in high-traffic areas where women drivers (and gays) would stop in the middle of the beeline just to gaze at his precious crotch, the new ad campaign too is schedule to grace glossy pages of esteemed fashion bibles worldwide. In the US, the autumn/winter campaign featuring David Beckham will debut in the August issue of Vanity Fair.

So, the big question here is – will DBKL allow Mr. Beckham flaunting his asset in the scintillating Armani undies ad campaign on Kuala Lumpur skyscrapers or Pavilion’s façade? Oh dear, unless the mayor is me, then just keep on dreaming!

Emporio Armani Underwear Collection Fall/Winter 2008 collection is slated to be in stores starting July onwards for Europe and August in United States. Price starts from 18.50 Euros / $12.50 USD onwards.

Guys Get Saucy!

Boys, scream if you want. After all these years, I've been praying for lingerie line created for a creature like me called men. Today my prayers were answered. HOM, French's leading undergarment manufacturer is proud to present you the 3001 Lingerie D'Homme collection, the men lingerie line.

Hmm, if you ladies have been thinking men are rather sexy shirtless in bed, then wait till you see them in this saucy lingerie pieces that's too hot to trot. This male version of Victoria's Secret is something that most men have been anticipated for years ever.

Okay, you can call it nightwear if you don't like my men lingerie term. The collection highlights sleep shirts and undies in transparent light fabric such as jersey, tulle and mesh, newspaper prints (think of John Galliano trademark), flocked flowers, stripes and other prints. Transparent fabrics were used in this collection as to evoke the men's sexiness and sensuality and to enable them to sleep comfortly. So avant-garde that it became an instant hit among European men.

My personal pick from the 3001 Lingerie d'Homme line are the Garden shirt and Gazette string. I like the black Garden shirt (on top) because first, it look unmistakenably like one of those feminine see-through nightdress and second, it has the combination of black flocked flowers prints and translucent stripes on it. The shirt is made of transparent striped jersey fabric which is a lightweight material and can be complemented with matching Garden hipster, Garden micro or Garden G-string.

The Gazette micro is unique because it reminds me of John Galliano's trademark - the newspaper print. Made from tulle fabric, which also a type of lightweight fabric, the micro pants comes in the shade of sand and grape.

To complement the shorts is the Gazette t-shirt, which also features the same newspaper print and made of the same material with short sleeve and V-neck. Just perfect for the hot summer nights.

Though the 3001 Lingerie D'Homme collection has been in stores across Europe, it is unsure if the first male lingerie collection will make it to our shores. But at the meantime, you can check them out at any departmental stores that carries HOM label nationwide. Other products manufactured by HOM and available for your dipsosal are its high-quality swimwears and undergarments.
