| - Okay... after a satiating meal at Sage, we were wandering back through Crystals mall to get to our car at the Bellagio where we spied this lingerie store.
Me: (yank) Hey, baby? Is that mannequin holding a riding crop?
Hubby:Uuuh, yeah. What's the deal with the blindfolds and handcuffs?
We thought it was just a provocative display for a lingerie store. But no, it's the Louis Vuitton of adult stores (of course, being in Crystals, right?).
Don't expect tacky neon colours or vinyl here. No - this place exudes French Chic. We wandered through looking at all the variety of "toys" and other miscellaneous things - some new (like riding crops), some erotic antique objets d'art (like this pretty Chinese porcelain container with a naughty painting on it). There are some other REALLY interesting items, but Yelp is a PG-13 rated site so you'll have to check out yourselves, LOL!
The lingerie itself is of good quality. I ran my fingers through the rack of negligees and sighed. What beats the feeling of French silk against the skin?
Curious, we wandered into the back of the store which had a "special" leather couch and a large four poster bed. Hmmm...
At this point, the sales lady came by to welcome us. She was really enthusiastic and encouraged us to ask questions. She playfully offered to show us their "couples room" which was a hidden dressing room for couples trying on lingerie in the store.
There's two curtains separating the area - one semi-see through curtain to show off the silhouette, the other is a privacy curtain.You can control the lighting yourself and there's actually a comfy chair for the husband to sit in behind the curtain as he watches.
As the French say... ooo la la...
Okay - granted, $200 bras, $550 french maid outfits and $50 bottles of lubricant are out of our price range. But checking out this store is worth it for the experience if not for the pure sense of fun. The sales staff is warm and welcoming while the environment is relaxing.
