This week is jammed pack with Fashion Week, the Westminster Dog Show and Valentine’s Day. I don’t know about you guys, but I am very confused. I don’t know whether to starve myself, bury a bone or eat chocolate!

I think I will eat chocolate! Some of the best chocolate is being made in D.U.M.B.O. at Jacques Torres Chocolate at 66 Water Street. There’s a cute little shoppe and you can always shop online if you desire. Sweet!

If you’re out and about, looking for love or just trying warm up with a soy latte at Starbucks, then you may encounter a lame pick-up line. Laugh! Don’t get angry! It’s a compliment! Meanwhile, if you are need a cute line to deliver at the next speed dating event; then click on the link, linesthataregood.com.

Sample lines like this:

“I’m not drunk, I’m just intoxicated by you.”

“I just had to come talk with you. Sweetness is my weakness.”

“You make me melt like hot fudge on a sundae.”

Valentine’s Day is less than a week away. Looking for a fun way to play with your lovah?! Then check out this website, lovegames These are not your mother’s board games, and if you get bored playing this games, then you may wanna consider a new playmate!

File this one under shameless self-promotion. I got published in the Agent Provocateur newsletter! I adore Agent Provocateur’s naughty British lingerie and accessories. So I submitted a letter of praise.

Letter from America

“I love Agent Provocateur’s store in Soho. I had a lovely and exciting experience the moment I walked in. I love the rich decor of the store. The sales attendants are very sexy and attentive. I tried on one of the naughty nipple-out bras and matching panties. I looked so damn hot! It was a great thing for me as a woman because trying on clothes in a store has always been a chore for me. I fluctuate between a size 10 or size 12 and I have D-cup boobs; many of the NYC couture fashions don’t fit me properly. I want to thank you guys for being so wonderfully sexy and bringing a fun place to shop or browse to NYC.

My AP fantasy would be to bring my boyfriend there for a little fashion show. He could sit in a chair, as I come out of the dressing room with different lingerie (thongs, chemise, teddy, panties, bras, etc) and donning the required accessories (collars, whip and those pink mules) He’d get so excited that he wants to undress me, and we have a little fling in the dressing room. Plus, he’d buy me thousands of dollars of Agent Provocateur lingerie. (I love the sparkly pink lotion, too!)”

Visit the cute little AP store in Soho (133 Mercer St) or check out the niche inside Henri Bendel’s.

LADIES

In winter, we tend to stay at home and have fun parties for the Superbowl, the Grammys and the Oscars. Why not have a party and make a little spare cash to spring for your haute couture spring wardrobe? You may read about it in this week’s “Time Out New York“. It’s a bird? It’s a plane! It’s a sex toy party! Safina is a company dedicated to facilitating fun and pleasure with selling sexories. What are sexories? They are lotions, potions, games, vibrators, and toys, etc. They’re better than regular accessories because they’ll always match your purse!
