I’ve always wanted to wear black marabou slippers, and sliding them on as soon as I walk into Kristopher Dukes, Inc.’s 1929 Spanglish headquarters feels perfect.

So does the fact that my name is Kristopher, I’m attracted to men, and I live near West Hollywood…

Wanting.

Marlies Dekkers is the Giuseppe Zanotti of lingerie: she crafts quirky, bold, intelligent sex.

I love that rope lacing together the back of this Marlies Dekkers thong…

Wearing.

I found these on sale and bought every pair the store had. That backside poof is what a woman should be: amusing and sexy. Buy yourself a pair for V Day…

Hating.

So I’d sport this Marlies Dekker thong. The only reason I’m hating is because that print distracts from the real architecture of Marlies Dekkers lingerie…

Wanting.

Peekaboo. Buy these Kiki De Montparnasse panties (or spend $75+ any way else at KikiDM.com) and get a free gift.

Just use promocode “XXXO”…

Wearing.

Real luxury is completely inconspicuous. Like boyish, black, cashmere bloomers…

Hating.

Wanting.

Everything on sale at Net-a-Porter is an extra 20% off with code “WINTERUSA.”

That tags these Loubies at $398..

Wearing.

Hating.

Wanting.

Roses arranged like women should be: highly stylized but classic. And useful as decoration…

Using.

I gifted them to myself. That’s what girls get when they give good brain…

Hating.

Gordon Gekko sent me these for Valentine’s Day, with a note. “Flowers are for wimps.” I saved the note… ]]> http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2008/12/05/ovando-flowers-k-is/feed 0
