There goes what little remained of Agent Provocateurs brand as an exclusive line of lingerie. It's being ghettoised just like Burberry was by the chavs in England.

Notice how they stopped photographing Moochelle next to all the real queens, princesses, etc.

Here's the queen of Qatar. She's 52 but looks better and definitely has more style than the Mooch ever did.

I don’t mind fancy joints like Provacateuror La Perla or Fogal etc

if you can afford them...I can’t this year

but this stuff is usually either a woman’s or gay man’s idea of lingerie that looks good on a woman...all lacey and frilly

it’s ok but I prefer randier wear...there is another pricey joint that makes really ribald wear....appropriately named: after kiki de montparnasse

http://www.kikidm.com/shop/home.php

but in the end....cheap thigh highs look as good in lovemaking light as expensive ones...ditto corsets and garters etc

even simple clothes combined with nudity are invitng...the proverbial white men’s shirt...a tanktop...plaid short skirt.....see thru blouse...all men get this...it’s as natural to us as breathing

I cannot imagine spending 50k on any clothing spree

“I cannot imagine spending 50k on any clothing spree”

Just part of the campaign to win The Won back to a heterosexual lifestyle. Couldn’t possibly go wrong.

A Wookie in see-through lingerie? That must be stomach-turning! Fortunately, I am unable to visualize such an unnatural sight.

No one said she was buying it for herself. I doubt they carry her size anyway. Barky though will be ecstatic and tickled pink at his Valentine's Day gift.

LOL! Like this?

It's not a cargo net, but I think you have nailed it!
