Dress to Undress - Pre Erotica Party

2007-11-22T13:32:00.000Z

On Monday night deep in the heart of Soho, the decadence of Madame JoJo’s Nightclub welcomed excited guests to the glittering extravaganza and wonder that awaited them inside for the Playful Promises Dress To Undress - pre Erotica Party.

A sumptuous array of chocolates, Martin Miller’s Gin cocktails and Pussy Energy Drinks titillated our guests while beautiful burlesque, cabaret, and magic acts entertained us with a visual extravaganza of lavish, glittering costumes created by Playful Promises, Kiss Me Deadly and Fairy Gothmother. Laura London, the beautiful and youngest ever member of the magic circle amazed us with her cheeky tricks, while the stunning Japanese dancer, Maki teased with her mischievous feather performances.

Then came the main extravaganza; the eagerly anticipated performances and unique showcase of three exceptionally luscious and luxurious brands.
The charismatic Chrys Columbine amazed the audience with her exquisite baby-doll burlesque show, then the amazingly talented Morgana, Kiss Me Deadly’s beautiful model, seduced her audience with her incredibly visual murder mystery inspired strip tease.

The sexy, sultry Esme Bianco got the audience all hot under the collar with her cheeky and sophisticated show. The initial mood was sultry for her suited and booted “gentleman” character before transforming into a glamorous corseted vixen all while showing off her singing talents and the flirtatious frivolity of the Playful Promises pieces.

The stunning Louise Watts, of Britain’s Next Top Model fame, astounded us with her lavish debut Burlesque performance. Her strong and sensual spectacular show was only enhanced by her outfit; an incredible collaboration of creations by all three designers, ending with a cheeky wiggle revealing Playful Promises “Dress To Undress” panties in glittering red diamantes.

After all of this excitement we danced the rest of the night away to DJ’s whilst sipping Apsinthion Absinthe cocktails; a perfect grande finale to a truly decadent celebration of all things extraordinarily beautiful.

Playful Promises Line Exclusive to Miss Lala's Boudoir

2007-09-04T11:01:00.000+01:00

Playful Promises is well known for its funky days of week briefs in English and French and we've now extended that line to an exclusive collaboration with London boutique Miss Lala’s Boudoir, taking the idea into the Japanese language.

Japanese Kanji symbols are a bit like pictograms and we’ve matched the embroidery to a colour associated with the meaning of the word. The briefs are baby pink silk with the text to the back and a little translation under a cutesy bow on the front. Miss Lala has displayed the knickers in vintage tin sweetie boxes and they look good enough to eat!

Sunday has the Kanji for Sun so we've used mellow sunny yellow embroidery.

Monday has the Kanji for Moon so we've used electric blue after the saying once in a blue moon and we are still hoping to spot one…

Tuesday has the Kanji for Fire so we’ve done that in purple – purple is the bottom of the candle flame, and the tint of the hottest embers.

Wednesday has the Kanji for Water so we've used Aqua like a summer rock pool.

Thursday has the Kanji for Tree – so it's in red – like the flaming leaves of the Japanese maple tree that flanks the red temples.

Friday is the Kanji for Money – so of course the embroidery is green.

Saturday is the Kanji for Earth – so we've used pink – the colour of dried desert earthy sand.

The knickers are only available at Miss Lala's so call 0207 483 1888 or visit the shop at 148 Gloucester Avenue, Primrose Hill, London.
