Romance on his dogs

Sir Sebastian's Valentine's reflections

Oh, hello, ladies! How nice to be able to bathe again in the warm glow of your attention! I know, I know... Of course, you're looking forward to all the adventures I've had at the sensational lingerie fairs. If I'm being very honest - and I am, as you know - then I haven't quite been able to process my impressions yet. I don't know if you've been to one of those events yourself, but it just takes me a while to give it all a place. Apparently even a virtuoso fashion poodle like me can only see a certain number of sets of sizzling designer lingerie before it, well, how do you say that in good Dutch, becomes too much. Don't despair, highly appreciated audience: it's really coming and then I'll give you exactly the inside information you're so anxiously waiting for. For now I thought we should take a pee - no, a pass on the spot, because the biggest worldwide holiday for every lingerie fanatic is just around the corner... It's almost Valentine's Day!

Unpack those packages!

Really, I'm not gonna make a secret of it, especially not in a company like this: I'm he-le-from Valentine's Day. Why is that? Well, for starters, it's the Feast of Love, and let's face it, who can do without l'amour? Exactly. No one. Not even a poodle. Love is the great unifying force between people, between dogs, between dogs and people. Okay, a bowl of kibble helps too, but in the end, love wins, right? So unless love goes through the stomach... Anyway. That's food for philosophers, and that's not my area of expertise. Love, it's central. Well, then, of course, you're in the field of lingerie, because what is love without a spicy negligee and a classic suspender belt underneath it? Time to surprise your own Valentine with a, um, loving gesture. A lingerie gesture, as far as I'm concerned. The roses and chocolates will come your way if it's okay, so wear a provocative packet as your present. A bit like giving yourself as a packet, like a pink heart with a golden bow on it. On Valentine's Day, of course, you'll be blown away with those suits. To celebrate love, huh? For God's sake, let's keep it a little romantic and stylish, ladies!

The prince on the white horse in a red thong?

Maybe we should turn the scrolls for the occasion. Why would you hoist yourself into an exciting suit when your dream prince is hanging on the couch in his silly old underpants, I wonder. Isn't it time to hoist that prince on that white horse into a new shiny armor? I see plenty of inspiration here every day when I make my round of lingerie at Dutch Designers Outlet. Men's lingerie simply exists, even though your Valentine denies it so systematically. A prince on a white horse in a red thong?
Shouldn't it be possible, in the year 2019? Oh wait, before we run into any misunderstandings I would like to mention that your prince can also be a princess on a white horse, or maybe there are men with their own Prince Charming who follow my blog. All praise, because Love is blind and knows how to find every heart, whether man and woman, woman and woman, female man and male woman, or dog and cat for all I care. Luckily there is also a wide choice of spectacular festive designer lingerie available for every Valentine's Day couple, so don't worry - with the right package your Valentine's Day will turn out all right this year!

Valentine's trap

Okay, très bien. So we decided that Valentine's Day is great and that that Day of Love can be celebrated in lingerie. Now it's time to arm you with my extensive experience on the amorous path of romance - if only to spare you some of the little blames that came over me when I was young. What's the coincidence? Well, let this mistake be about lingerie too...

Anonymous Romanticism

The idea of lingerie for your Valentine's Day isn't new, of course. About three years ago, your favourite influencer was in love with an unnamed person. My dog heart was working overtime and I didn't get a lump in my throat. I had to do something! I decided to pick out a beautifully elegant lingerie set and bought a large bunch of red roses - this couldn't go wrong. I traced the address of my Valentine and packed everything in a large heart-shaped box with a shiny pink bow around it. Dog in the bakkie, I thought. As it should be, I sent my gift anonymously, addressed to 'Valentine' for the extra mysterious atmosphere. Then the waiting started...

I didn't hear anything the first day after Valentine's Day. Nor the week after that. I got insecure. Had I sent it to the right address? Did something go wrong in the mail? I checked everything, but it just turned out to be delivered on February 14th. What had happened? Didn't my Valentine appreciate the gift? Were the roses wilted? I decided to go and have a look, put on my nails and tripped to the house of my silent love. Coincidentally, Valentine was just out for a walk with the boss. I couldn't control my natural curiosity and peeked through the window. What I saw there defies all amazement: it broke my poodle heart and I still have scars from it. There was my Valentine's gift, in all its glory, only on the body of the lady of the house! The roses were on the vase and even though the set pinched pretty badly at critical points, I am one hundred percent sure that the 'thanks' had already reached the owner of my Valentine...

Outsmart Cupid

You understand that this fledgling love has remained unanswered forever. You bet I'm not going to make this mistake again, because I've learned a hard lesson. I want to spare you that heartache, dear audience. So here's my golden Valentine's tip: if you feel the jitters in your belly, do something with it that you're sure will make you wiser yourself. Anonymous lingerie delivery is not a watertight strategy. That's why I suggest that this year we just buy a beautiful set of designer lingerie for ourselves, and then climb into our strings, push-up bras or microboxers in a large cardboard box and have it delivered straight to the doorstep of our Valentine's Day. At least that way you know for sure that Cupid's arrows hit you straight in the heart! Oh, one little tip: buy a large roll of bubble wrap and pack yourself firmly, maybe with a hip flask of cognac, because it can still be pretty chilly at night around mid-February...

Come into action for Love!

Dear readers, I wish you lots of romance, warmth and exciting developments on Valentine's Day. It's not too late to get that box, that bubble wrap and those sensual lingerie sets, so I say hit it and enjoy this year's Valentine's Day!

See you soon, dear audience - on to that steamy report on the hottest news on the trade floor!
