Anticipation & Satisfaction ~ Dita Von Teese

My husband Gerard went fishing yesterday and caught a 45 lb. Dorado. The ear to ear grin on his face said everything. He was very satisfied after his big catch. The thing about fishing is the hours of anticipation. Waiting endlessly, floating silently, one could be lulled to sleep lost in a fantasy of great expectations. Just when the dream is fading, the vision turns to reality and a powerful presence appears. For the fisherman, it is a thing of beauty, and the struggle to seduce it is an exotic dance between man and his passion. Here in Cabo, fishing is a glamour sport.

You might find it odd, my comparing Dita Von Teese’s lingerie to fishing. But, the moment I saw my husband’s smile, I thought about the way I feel every time I visit Dita’s showroom. I am always bowled over by her intimate’s collection. It is with great intent that I wait for her new show. And I am never disappointed. If one were to compare sculling the lingerie market for meaningful innovation and poetic nourishment to trolling the sea for a delicious treasure, the metaphor makes sense. This time, it was the Dita Von Teese bodysuits, from the immensely successful Madame X and Dahlia range. Exquisitely detailed with a combination of embroidery, lace, satin and mesh, it is the potent design elements that absorb all the attention. Ranging from 32A to 36DD, these pieces are an enticing taste of the Dita Von Teese allure. With this brand, there is always more to buy than one could possibly consume.
