A Winner's Smile
Let me let you into my secret
passion, and reveal my ardent
affair with lace, silk, chiffon,
tulle and nylon - altogether it's
the stuff that sensual fantasies
of exuberant after-dark fun are
made of. While setting
voluptuous trends for a whole
season of sensual revelry and
heady pillow talk, this enticing
temple makes the world
underneath her clothes heaven
on earth - flooded with opulent
embroidery and flimsy fabrics:
It's the Victoria's Secret myth.
La La Land's VS sanctuaries
seduced me zillions times and
whenever I left this Mecca of
finest lingerie with an iconic
pink bag in hand, my lovely
secret was safely nestled
inside, neatly wrapped up in
silky tissue paper...
The story starts at the Holly-
wood & Highland Center
during a jovial time before
Christmas, when every
purchase over 20$ would be
rewarded with a gift certificate
worth 10, 20, 50 or 100$.
While living out my passion
for frilly fashion I became a VS
regular, receiving a gift card
every time I treat myself to
another 'Very Sexy' piece, a
'Bombshell' item, an 'Incredible'
thing, the 'Most-Loved' number
or 'The Nakeds' delight. After
three months living and loving
L.A. I gathered quite a few
reward cards and couldn't wait
to unwrap my present to
discover what Santa Claus has
brought me. This was when I
found myself in a spacious,
French boudoir resembling,
dim lit, fitting room fiddling
around with a silky suspender
belt, a flouncy corsage, and
lacy super-push-up bra, that
made my tiny frame look
grotesque with the extra
portion boobs -- the perfect
Hollywood BMI, BTW.
While replacing the flouncy
stuff with jeans and shirt I
realized that all that frill is
going to cost me around 150$.
Still, I had four jokers up my
sleeve and a penchant that
had to be satisfied. When
approaching the register I
braced myself and put down
all my cards on the marble
counter, additionally
producing my pink credit
card. Suspiciously peering
at me, the sales lady took
my cards and swiped them
one by one...
"The total sum of all gift cards
is 130$", she cheerfully
exclaimed and congratulated
me while all the other
attendants were gathering
around us. Everybody was all
smiles, including me, sporting
a winner's smile for the rest
of the day.
