Kiki de Montparnasse is a One-stop Lifestyle Shop

Oucha ma-gowcha!

If you're seeking the perfect grown-up gift possessing that certain je ne sais quoi, might I recommend nosing around the new Kiki de Montparnasse boutique at Crystals at City Center . Not just a brand, Kiki de Montparnasse is a whole lifestyle (albeit one of the R-rated variety), that "celebrates intimacy and inspires the romantic imagination."

These panties are perfect for the woman whose partner gets lost somewhere around 2nd base...

Sure, there is an assortment of titillating "toys" - but Kiki is about so much more than just providing the best cuffs, whips, lingerie, and peignoirs. Kiki de Montparnasse is about everything from evening jewelry (an ultra long strand of faceted black onyx was especially fabulous) and wrist restraints fashioned from ropes of woven silk cord to mood music (The Best of Sade) and coffee table books (featuring the works of artists including Gustav Klimt and Mario Testino).

This rope has people literally screaming to be tied-up!

The whole atmosphere is decidedly one of Paris in the Jazz Age. As a matter of fact, the way that Kiki sets itself apart from the herd is that it is so damned tasteful. The lighting, the displays, the vignettes, the music... Everything is just deliciously refined. It all twinkles lightly, like a song by Claudine Longet.
