HOT PICKS [FRIDAY]
Sexy Time!
February 8, 2008
If you’re not into ordering your unmentionables from the Victoria’s Secret catalogue - after your boyfriend’s finished leafing through it, of course - you’ll be thrilled to know that Agent Provocateur has finally landed in Vancity. AND that we got it before Toronto or Montreal.
The British company’s naughty-but-nice panties, corsets, bras, garters, teddies and nightgowns have graced the likes of spokesmodels Kylie Minogue, Kate Moss and Maggie Gyllenhaal, and now it’s your turn to get a piece of the action. (Heck, you might even look sexier in the steamy duds than those stick figures do - after all, a curvy girl does lingerie good.)
The Vancouver store is all get-up like a boudoir complete with an antique four-poster bed, bright fuscia carpets and “live” window displays (don’t be surprised if your boyfriend is suddenly eager to go shopping with you). The dressing rooms are big enough to house two (or more) but don’t take that as an invitation.
Do, however, take this opportunity to buy your next pair of saucy skivvies at AP - while leaving the Victoria’s Secret catalogue to your BF. He will love you forever. Or forward this email along to him as a little hint just in time for Valentine’s Day…
Agent Provocateur
1026 Alberni St., 604-258-7943
Hours: Sunday, 11 am - 6 pm; Monday to Saturday, 11 am - 7 pm
Take note - the recycled paper chase has begun in yesterday's Vancouver Trendz. Have you entered this week's Contest yet? Win a $100 Gift Certificate to Book Warehouse.
