WE LOVE:Christian Louboutin Tap Dancing

We simply adore Monsieur Christian Louboutin, not only does he design the sexiest shoes in the universe, not only has he brought out his own catsuited barbie doll, he's now gone and released a tap-dancing video! Available on fashionair.com the film shows Christian daydreaming in his Parisian workshop, then dreamily taking to the stage on broadway, before drawing up shoes and hot pant rocking dancers to accompany him. We especially love the muted colour scheme, with flashes of his trademark red soles.

Watch the video here, and then join us daydreaming about owning some of his pretty shoes.

Naughty Paris January 2010

Well, what a weekend! Sailing out of London on the Eurostar on Saturday afternoon, with Fanny perfectly encased in her birthday present of the AP Iona leopard print bodysuit (teamed with a suitably crazy Cadbury's-chocolate-purple satin pencil skirt, meow!) we were soon clinking glasses of Taittinger whilst niblling red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing (Fanny's fave) and secrectly reading our new copy of Yes, Sir together as we made our way to our beloved Paris.

After a little research, mainly discerning how far each one was from Louboutin's store, we had decided upon staying at the Hotel Vieux Saule (in the Marais, but of course) and were delighted to find that the recently refurbished modern rooms (on the 5th floor - make sure you request this!) have white perspex ceilings which, when you adjust the lighting, basically become a mirror above you. Suffice to say, we then spent most of the weekend in our room!

But we did of course saunter out into the streets and were very delighted when we stumbled across a little pocket of naughty shops on the rue de Roi Sicile. Dollhouse is really cute sex shop with jeux des filles! We we're really impressed as it was even more inviting and enticing than our London love, Sh! Great toys, espcially those by Germany notorious Fun Factory, and cute accesories. We will definitely be back for more! Across the road is also L'Homme Invisible, where we were delighted with the array of men's pants, especially those from Gregg Homme, and next door we poked our noses into La Dame 2 Coeurs, which had a few lovely pieces including a set from Italian brand, Luna di Seta.

We must admit, though, our prime motivation was to have a little Louboutin birthday treat session... well, not exactly buying anything, but maybe trying on a pair or two (and by that we mean slipping Fanny's size 6 kittens into them - sadly I don't think they do a Robin size 9) and recording it in our memories for later...

But when we finally made our way out and about - Quelle horreur! - they were closed and there was a sad little Fanny and Robin left staring through the windows like orphans in the snow.

There will always be next time though! And when we do, we definitely want to check out Chantal Thomass and Crazy Horse! Perhaps when it is a little warmer though xxx

COMING SOON: Naughty Paris!

It's Fanny's birthday at the end of the month and we thought what a better way to celebrate than with a weekend away in Paris! A city full of so many exciting possibilities.... We are compiling a wishlist for this sexy city right now, and definitely won't miss out on picking up our copy of Arthur de Pins "Peches Mignons" 2010 calendar! Perhaps we even let Heather Stimmler-Hall's definitive book on the subject be our guide? Either way, stay tuned lovelies as we will report back every little treasure we find!

Bisous!
