What’s Sexy Now? Guest 1 – Las Vegas Boudoir
Haute Shots is proud to be starting a new blog series called, What’s Sexy Now featuring smart, fashionable, successful & fabulous women giving their thoughts on what makes a woman sexy and sharing some of their favorite sexy things from films to fashion.
I wanted to kick the series off with the lovely Alison Rubke of the all-too-fabulous blog, Frou Frou Fashionista and owner of one of the most exquisite lingerie boutiques in the US, Faire Frou Frou, (Faire Frou Frou means ‘to show off’ in French – too cute!). She has impeccable taste and I am so happy that she is sharing some of her insights with us all here. And in case you missed Alison’s prior guest spot on Haute Shots, you can find her past post here.
Without further ado, here are Alison’s answers and imagery that she finds sexy:
- What makes a woman sexy?
- Famous female that most embodies sexy to you:
- Favorite sexy film or literature (or both):
- Song or Album that never fails to put you in a sexy mood:
- Fashion trend, item or designer collection that you find sexy:
- Sexy destination:
- What makes you feel sexy?
A woman is sexy when she has a positive attitude, a sweet charm, class, confidence and intelligence. Those qualities make a woman beautiful.
When listing the sexy qualities in a woman I was thinking of Sarah Jessica Parker…something about her is just so cool. I love her personality! Or even someone like Grace Kelly…such a beauty with a bit of mystery.
Hmm, sexy film or book? Does Twilight count (LOL!)…I read quite a bit, but nothing too sexy. To be honest, I’m more of a romantic comedy personality. So movies like “Something’s Gotta Give” and “You’ve Got Mail” are my favorites.
Sexy mood music is definitely most R&B music. From “Sexual Healing” Marvin Gaye to “Make Love to You” by Boyz to Men to “Get Off” by Prince to “Nasty Boy” by Christina Aguilera…oh my goodness, there are so many good ones! However, in our lingerie boutique we play a lot of flirty music from Brigitte Bardot and Marilyn Monroe which is provocative in a fun way.
The ultimate sexy item is thigh high/stockings with a garter & high heels (Louboutins of course!). Being a lingerie boutique owner, I understand the importance of lingerie boosting your mood. Some incredibly hot designers right now are Lascivious and Damaris…both are tastefully daring! When you see someone like Dita von Teese perform and use her stockings as a prop, you really get an idea of how sexy lingerie can be. On a completely different note, I find black & white photography very sexy…just take a look at anything by Ellen von Unwerth and you will understand!
I think a sexy destination is a place that is visually stimulating with a lot of rich history and beautiful architecture. Places like Paris, London, Vienna and Amsterdam come to mind.
The boost of confidence certainly comes from creating a good presentation of myself. From a light perfume to a darling bra to pretty jewels and accessories. I really enjoy developing my style and really find joy in fashion. I enjoy finding ways to work lingerie into my outerwear, whether it’s pretty stockings or a statement bra with pretty straps, making these looks work are certainly morale boosters.

Old Hollywood Glamour – Lingerie-Style
We love how some of today’s lingerie styles evoke the sophistication and glamour of old Hollywood! It seems like many contemporary designers are trying to recapture the essence of lingerie in its heyday, and they are doing so with some very fun results. Retro styles are certainly in ‘comeback’ mode, particularly with the high-waist panties and contrast-seamed stockings. We especially love the look of a beautiful satin robe with ostrich feather trim – the ultimate in decadence!
Some designers that we carry in our boutique (Faire Frou Frou) do a wonderful job with the retro look: Fifi Chachnil, Miss Lala Presents, and Made by Niki. Now you can create your own glamorous lingerie ensemble! Have fun!
