The Femme Fatale...what does it really mean?

The femme fatale look and image is an obsession of www.mylunakiss.com

 What makes a femme fatale so sexy?

Is the term "femme fatale" used so loosely in the millenium that we call every hot famous female a female fatale? We think that is "L'Enfant terrible" or pooh for the less sophisticated person.

A real femme fatal is potent, intoxicating, unforgettable and threatening. You are afraid of her but you want her all the time and you can't get her out of your head. Her look is bold but soft, romantic but sexy. Her style is daring but never scandalous and she has soft clean hair and her smell is a hint of something you can't place but it lingers like a stain in your mind.Still confused, check out mylunakissTop 5 Femme Fatales.

Madonna - of course you are thinking - wow that wasn't a suprise but Madonna is the epitome of strength, sexual confidence and she constantly changes...you can't predict what she will wear or do next. Madonna is a Femme Fatale Icon.

Dita Von Teese - Von Teese is known for her neo burlesque performances, her retro style and classic pin up demanor but she is so much more than that but not within your reach. Dita Von Teese is an Retro Femme Fatale.



Dita Von Teese (born Heather Renee Sweet)

 Sharon Stone - we think Sharon Stone exudes bold confidence, a wacky sense of world viewm and an intelligence that is burning beneath her smoldering sensuality. Although Stone is not in the spotlight as much as she was in the 90's, the essence of her lingers. Sharon Stone is a Bold Femme Fatale.



Sharon Stone
Angelina Jolie - Jolie is probably is famous for her acting and her private life. Jolie is a contridiction that gossip rags love to trash or praise depending on the time of day. Angelina Jolie may be a blood thirsty dominitrix on her days off from being a super Embassador mom but it does not matter her mix of good and evil or chaotic and heroic....watching Jolie portray daring action femmes is worth it. Angelina Jolie is an Dominant Femme Fatale.

Catherine Deneuve - we featured Catherine Deneuve as the Femme Fatale. Deneuve is an artist, muse, an inspiration, calculating and loving, brash but classy, uninhibited and beautiful. Catherine Deneuve is the Femme Fatale.

Since pretty much all of the USA will have Monday off for 4th of July, we wanted to create a little inspiration post for the occasion.  We will be donning red, white & blue and doing some activity that requires a bikini (beach, pool party...just hangin' out with friends...we're still figuring that out).  The collage above is how the frou-frou gal celebrates this holiday; with a nautical touch and definitely red lipstick! 
We hope all of you in the states have a fun and safe long weekend!

Dita von Teese Loves Faire Frou Frou!

Dita von Teese in InStyle, February 2011

We gushed about this last week on our Facebook and Twitter pages, but felt there was the need to shout this news from one more arena.  The fabulous Dita von Teese was recently interviewed by PopSugar's Fresh Guide and shared her favorite places to shop in Los Angeles...and wouldn't you know one of her top 6 places includes our lingerie boutique Faire Frou Frou
Here's what she had to say about us:
“[Faire Frou Frou] has a very nice selection of beautiful and sexy lingerie with European brands you won’t find anywhere else. They carry luxury brands like Damaris, Cadolle, Fifi Chachnil, and more. This is the new go-to lingerie store for seductive lingerie that fits beautifully . . . yes, you can have it all! If you can’t fly to Paris for a day of lingerie shopping, head to Faire Frou Frou!”
Well said, Dita, well said, and thank you!

Dita von Teese in Madison Magazine






images via here, Madison Magazine photos by Georges Antoni, styling by Fiona Kowalski

You can imagine our excitement when we came across these beautiful pictures of Dita von Teese from Madison Magazine.  There's plenty of vintage lingerie goodness and some darling dresses that you just know pretty underpinnings are hidden beneath!  In the last image Dita is wearing a corset & panties from Wheels & Dollbaby which is the most adorable vintage-inspired online store we love to visit (when not shopping fairefroufrou.com, of course!). 
You can learn a bit about Dita from the Madison article posted here; for instance, perhaps some of you didn't know that Dita von Teese was once a lingerie saleswoman and that her real name is Heather Sweet.  She's come a long way!

Would You Believe This is a Shoe Ad?

Since we're practically the unofficial Dita von Teese blog (we wish!) these images from Plastic Dreams magazine had to be posted! Dita is the cover girl for the latest issue of Plastic Dreams which is a publication for the eco-friendly Brazilian shoe company Melissa. Dita is modeling PVC shoes in each picture, but the costumes and the circus theme actually have us looking at anything but! However, these aren't just any plastic shoes because Melissa collaborated with top designers such as Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaultier for their latest collection. The Vivienne Westwood "Lady & Dragon" heel has actually gotten a lot of attention (or we've seen it several times over the past year), and we're guessing that with Dita as the latest cover girl these shoes will become even more popular.
If an eco-friendly plastic stiletto is on your wish-list, then your best bet is to look here.

Dita von Teese strikes a pose in yet another unforgettable spread by Ellen von Unwerth, this time for the 25th Anniversary issue of Max Italy magazine (March 2010). We love that these pictures combine our two favorite topics, Dita and amazing lingerie by favorites such as Fifi Chachnil, Cadolle and Cervin.

How Could We Resist...Dita von Teese Edition

Dita von Teese for Harper's Bazaar Russia

True, this blog is dedicated to luxury lingerie...but it's also unofficially dedicated to the style of burlesque superstar Dita von Teese. We can never resist a post about Dita, especially when it involves a gorgeous editorial spread in Harper's Bazaar (Russia). The only lingerie in this shoot is the bra she designed for Wonderbra, and of course the sexy stockings. The John Paul Gaultier bodysuit/dress has a definite lingerie appeal, but we're not entirely sure what to call it. Nonetheless, the results are striking and beautiful. Don't you just love the Christian Lacroix images!

Dita Striptease


dita von teesedita von teese striptease
Dita von Teese is queen of the modern striptease, and if you haven't seen her perform, now is your chance! With the arrival of Dita's latest book entitled Dita: Striptease, you now have a chance to see her signature moves via 3 flipbooks! Yes, flipbooks...how clever!
Dita collaborated with photographer Sheryl Nields to create the beautiful images that so skillfully show Dita at her finest.
As you see from the adorable video above, each sensual movement is caught on camera to give you a step-by-step to the art of the 'tease. You really get an appreciation for what an art form it is, and how much talent it takes to come off so poised and elegant. Trust us, it's a lot of work that only looks easy because it's done by such a pro.
We are buying our copy this week...the cover alone is making us swoon!

Dita von Teese - Party Edition








images via here

For the first time in a long time we are coveting lingerie from Wonderbra, all thanks to the glamorous Dita von Teese! Seriously, we haven't owned a Wonderbra since high-school...and that was about 10 years ago (more or less!).
The latest collection is called Party Edition, which just launched on October 5, 2009. Naturally, any lingerie with that name is going to be sparkling, sexy and perfect for a night of celebrating! What a cute theme for a lingerie collection.
These very moderately-priced pieces are finally available in the US, but apparently only through one online store. Visit Dita's domain for details.
And just a teaser...when we re-open our boutique, we have a collection of goodies handmade for us exclusively by Dita von Teese's costume designer...we can't wait to share!!
