Wanting.Perfect for that white dress that’s not sheer enough for a slip, but not thick enough to just tease – This La Perla naked thong’ll turn that skirt into a silhouette of legs… |
 |
Wearing.A nude panty is sexy: it’s like going commando, sans sloppiness. I love how this Marlies Dekkers thong looks like it’s framing your skin… |
 |
Hating.I didn’t get Cosabella, and I don’t get Hanky Panky. Both of these lines vibe both cheap and overpriced… |
 |
Wanting.This Carl Mertens fireplace is how a woman should be: a primitive attraction stylized in the most controlled, urbane way. Floating glass sandwiches stainless steel; this Carl Mertens table top fireplace burns up to four hours, depending on your size of flame… |
 |
Using.This Carl Mertens table top fireplace is sexier than any candle. Radiating heat as well as light, the oil-burning, stainless-steel logs come set atop a slate plate… |
 |
Hating.A sleek cylinder of stainless steel, the perfect marriage of form and function, the only reason I’m hating this Carl Mertens lighter is because I didn’t know about it before I blew $100 on a Porsche Design lighter. This Carl Mertens lighter is idealization, with a realistic price: $26… |
 |
Wanting.Jimmyjane massage candles are the best: they burn clean, they smell wonderful, and they get even better when you blow them out. I wonder how this Jimmyjane bourbon candle smells… |
 |
Using.This Voluspa bourbon candle burns steady, and gives off a subtle vanilla scent, without any sugariness… |
 |
Hating.There’s no way something so ugly can smell good… |
 |
Wanting.There are few brands I’m victim for, but I’d buy NARS toilet paper. And NARS condoms? NARS “Safer Orgasm” gift set comes with custom condoms, and a portion of sales benefit amfAR, The American Foundation for AIDS Research… |
 |
Wearing.NARS “Black Eye” gift set is great: it’s a box of NARS eyeliner pencil in Black Moon, mascara in Black Orchid, duo eyeshadow in Pandora, and NARS Eye Makeup Remover,. A perfect gift for your mom, your sister, your mistress: because most women deserve black eyes… |
 |
Hating.NARS celebrated the remake of flick The Women with their “Jungle Red” boxed set of NARS’ Jungle Red nail polish, lipliner, and lipstick. Sure, red lips and nails are classic vamp, but the color looks camp on most chicks… |
 |
Wanting.I wear a L’Artisan Parfumeur perfume everyday, and I actually hate anything scented — shampoo, bodywash, laundry — interfering with it. But this L’Artisan Parfumeur sachet — made of Mokuba ribbons and Lelievre fabric– is just too delish… |
 |
Using.This L’Artisan Parfumeur terracotta amber ball costs $125 — but it’ll diffuse scent for as long as two years. People lie and say you can’t buy love — if you’re really tired of having coffee with that chick, just give her some green-tea incense wrapped in foil instead… |
 |
Hating.Something about a L’Artisan Parfumeur for Bottega Venetta candle feels victim. But screw it, might as well enjoy the world as it ends… |
 |
WantingA ridiculousy sexy panty by Marlies Dekkers that would work as regular wear. Slip it on Monday morning; why wait for a date night to seduce? Too few people understand that they should always want to sex themselves… |
 |
WearingMarlies Dekkers sent me her lingerie as an introduction, since the Dutch line just launched a store in New York’s Plaza Hotel. All intros in life should be so bold and charming. The lingerie’s sophisticated, but simple in its purpose: it just makes you look better (almost) naked… |
 |
HatingI love that Marlies Dekkers swimwear is an echo of her lingerie: But you’d hate this bikini, too, if it weren’t in your size… |
 |
WantingI’m being domesticated — there’s actual furniture in my pad. Next up: this Dayna Decker candle sculpture, an espresso machine, and then maybe silverware so I can more properly push a stick of celery around on my plate before I throw it up… |
 |
WearingI like Starbucksing less because their burnt coffee tastes good, and more to pay tithe to an institution that rips me off and makes me enjoy it. Kind of like how Christians dig church. This Dayna Decker candle gives me the same glow: $50 for wax. I’m in the wrong business… |
 |
HatingDayna Decker “conceptual gifting” has too many syllables in it, for something that’s rather straight forward: a stick of wax set on fire. I like to keep things simple: non-conceptual gifting, a go-kart of a sports car that doesn’t do more than drive, and Beyoncé music videos in which she humps the floor… |
