The Perfect Rockabilly Ponytail
You’ve seen this vintage style on the likes of Gwen Stefani and Scarlett Johansson. Now get it for yourself!

New Must Have: Sex Jewelry
This substantial silver ring beautifully links the thumb and pointer finger.
But not only does it look killer, this gorgeous piece is also perfectly designed to give the ideal, mind-blowing, out-of-this-world sensual male massage!
The smooth heavy ring (dubbed the “Petting Ring”) is part of Betony Vernon’s extensive line of erotic jewelry. As you wear it around town it will make you feel deliciously naughty…and its real purpose will be your dirty little secret. (The only drawback is the price. $1,250.00 from Coco De Mer USA)
Betony Vernon has a long history in design, and I am seriously lusting after every piece in this beautiful collection (and maybe her, too). Just who does this former model cite as her ultimate style icon? Marlene Dietrich! *swoon*. Such attitude! Such poise! Such style! This woman is certainly a force to be reckoned with.
Just watch the following interview where she discusses her craft and gives a rare peek inside her exclusive invitation-only boutique in Paris.

Bellissima!

Hottest. Swimsuit. EVER!
At $790, this new Zahra swimsuit from lingerie designer Agent Provocateur comes with a hefty pricetag. But just imagine sauntering down to the pool in this on a balmy afternoon with a pair of cruel black heels, red nails, and huge Chanel sunglasses.
The boning, stitching, and other details in this corseted dream are impeccable, and it offers just the right suggestion of naughty kink without going over the top.
The suit may not be affordable, but it is certainly droolworthy. This daring onepiece is more erotic and eye-catching than any strappy thong bikini out there. That is why this fabulous piece has made my list as one of my official Objects Of Lust.
Dita Von Teese: A Fetish For Fashion
Dita is well-known for her couture corsets, perfect pin-up makeup, and flawless outfits.
This goddess seems to take an almost fetishistic pride in her appearance…And why shouldn’t she? After all, this is the woman who almost singlehandedly sparked the modern burlesque movement. She’s entitled, damnit.
So, take a look at this wonderful interview where she explains the true origins of her vintage obsession. A very thoughtful analysis of the burlesque and pin-up scene, asserting that her beauty is entirely “created” and that “anyone can create this”…”anyone can do what I do”. I can’t say enough great things about this video. Take a look:
So, what do you think? Are you as surprised as I am by her kittenish soft-spoken voice? Somehow, I expected her speaking style to be as brazen and in-your-face as her performances. And yet I’m not disappointed. In a way, it softens her. In fact, I think her quiet intelligence makes her seem more relatable and almost vulnerable…You?
