PIRATES OF P(enz)ANTIES

I'm pretty sure a normal, hot-blooded male when confronted with the latest uber sexy offering from Agent Provoceteur will be clutching at his chest squealing "aar me heart....!" and that won't be because he's doing a cheesy pirate impersonation. This underwear, as always, is devastatingly raunchy.


And all power to these ladies - Helena Christensen (how old is she now? these supermodels sure do age well) and Alice Dellal are knocking them dead in this overtly sexual campaign. These ladies certainly aren't damsels in distress - they're the mutineers taking over the Brit fleets in all their pirate-y sultriness, and I'd say their muskets are a helluva lot bigger than anything their prisoners might have... I love this new approach to dominatrix - sure there's some pvc looking stuff in there, but they've taken ordinarily girl materials - lily-thin lace and whispers of silk - and turned them into weapons of mass destruction.

This take-no-prisoners, woman on top approach is in marked contrast to the Victoria's Secret shows that ran in Miami this week. Compare the dark undertones of Victoria's Secret - these boys aren't walking the plank: yet - to the butterflies and feathers, good-ship lollipop approach from Victoria's Secret and you can definitely appreciate how well these two companies differentiate their products. I mean seriously - how different can a garter, bra, g-string, panties and suspender belts really be? Not very.


It was all one big, girly slumber party in Miami this week. Check it out:

It's not a Victoria's Secret fashion show anymore without crowd favourite, Miranda Kerr.

Hmm... It's that age old debate: angels or criminals?
