Drawing Party LA

Forget about a girls' night out at a bar; bring your besties to ArtWorks Studio in LA and sketch for a few hours- nude male models that is. The Drawing Party package includes a champagne toast, dinner, art instruction and a nude model. The cost is $125 per person for a three hour session and only $100 for groups of six or more. We're sharing this one with our West coast friends and anyone who may be out there soon. Wouldn't this make a great bachelorette party too?

Dita Von Teese Crazy Horse Paris DVD

We once had the pleasure of seeing Dita Von Teese perform at a party a few New York Fashion Week's back. We can't recall what the fete was for, but we certainly remember being blown away while Ms. Teese did her thing in a giant martini glass.

Her new Crazy Horse Paris DVD is set to release on November 24 on French Amazon and would make a great stocking stuffer for all the naughty folks on your Christmas list. We haven't had the opportunity to see the burlesque show for ourselves, but from the looks of the sneak peek video, it's everything we wished Holly Madison's Peep Show was--and more!



Note: We earlier posted the You Tube video of the clip, which Dita Von Teese herself promoted on Twitter. The video was taken down after someone complained about its adult content. Dita's tweeted response: ...there are about 4,380 Youtubes of me dancing nearly nude, but some jackass has a problem with THIS particular one!

You can still view the Dita Von Teese Crazy Horse sneak peek on line, though now you have to register and we can't embed it in our post.

Peepshow Review

On our first night in Vegas, we hit Peepshow, starring Holly Madison and Aubrey O'Day at Planet Hollywood. Perhaps we've been around the block a few times, because we thought it was cute, but a bit too PG-13 tame. In burlesque fashion, you get to see hints of nudity while the girls are dancing around the stage as cheerleaders and the like.

We could see where couples who aren't quite ready to go to a full on strip club might get a kick out of it. As for us, we were mostly excited to see that Holly Madison is just like us: She has cellulite, too. If someone as surgically enhanced as she is has it, we're accepting ours and moving on with life.

If you go, stop by Koi for some tasty appetizers before the show like we did. Don't miss the crispy rice with spicy tuna.

On Our Radar: S Factor: Pole Dancing Lesson Discount

We were invited to a complimentary pole dancing class at Sheila Kelley's S Factor the other night- our Vegas bachelorette was mere days away, so we couldn't turn it down. We entered the class with a mix of excitement and trepidation, which quadrupled when we saw the 6" stripper heels.

There were nine other bloggers in the class, plus two instructors. Jill, the main teacher, went around and asked all of us our names. To her credit, she remembered them throughout class. She immediately put us at ease, explaining that the class is a safe place, with no mirrors and no boys. She dimmed the lights and we began stretching to candlelight.

The beginning part was similar to yoga and Pilates, with sexier versions of cat and cow stretches, bridges and a super-slow bicycle that left our abs sore for days. Of course, our yoga instructor never told us not to be afraid of touching our vajayjays because, "if you don't, no one else will." The early part of the class is done barefoot.


Once we were warmed up, it was time to learn the "S Walk," a slow and sultry move that we've been practicing all over our apartment. Then it was the time we were all waiting for--our introduction to the pole. Jill taught us that no matter what we do on the pole, it's our dismount that mattered--our butt needed to stick out like "It has eyes and is trying to see across the room" and our boobs needed to stretch in the other direction, like an "S".

With two women to a pole, we began to learn the Firefly spin, where you wrap your legs around the pole and fly. Jill reminded us that we had probably spun around poles when we were 5 years old in a similar manner so had nothing to be afraid of. We have to admit, we had a BLAST twirling, jumping and spinning around the pole--and we have the bruised shins to prove it!

From there, we strapped on those 6" stilettos and learned how to do a sexy wall dance we can do at home, since most of us don't live in fireshouses with easy access to stripper poles. We were a little wobbly simply walking in those towering shoes, but we must have learned something. We did a teaser dance for our fiancé the next morning. Let's just say he was very, very appreciative.

Pole Dancing Lesson Discount
We really loved the class and encourage you to try out Sheila Kelley's S Factor. It was a killer workout, but so much more. It was seriously empowering and made us appreciate our body in a way that we haven't had time to think about in quite a while. To entice you even more, we're offering JSG readers a 50% discount for the intro class. When booking, mention code: JET SET. Good through 12/31/09

Naughty Paris: A Lady's Guide to the Sexy City

We had a busy November traveling to Austin, cruising on the new Celebrity Solstice, and Thanksgiving in Chicago; but this month we're dedicated to decking the halls and staying put. When we need a break from shopping and wrapping we dive into Heather Stimmler-Hall's Naughty Paris: A Lady's Guide to the Sexy City. Heather is an American living in Paris and knows everything from the chicest shopping to the best restaurants; but more intriguing she shares the kinkiest cabarets, French pick-up lines, and erotic adult shops. The writing is informal and friendly and the photography is beautiful. This isn't the Paris that Frommer's shares with the masses. We love this little gem even more after meeting Heather last month on her book tour -- she's charming and engaging just as you'd expect a naughty expert to be.

A few years back, we went to Paris every year. Then the dollar tanked and that plan was put on hiatus. But now that the exchange rate is more reasonable (or at least it was until yesterday's latest rate cut), we see a trip in our near future. And when we start to plan it, Heather's naughty website will be our first stop.



Naughty Paris: A Lady's Guide to the Sexy City is available at Amazon.

Sexy Pirates Make Disney Land Unfamily Friendly

We have no idea if this story is true or not, but either way, it’s good for a laugh: According to LA’s KTLA Channel 5, four actors playing Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Carribbean were fired because women kept flashing them late at night. So these sexy swashbucklers had to be let go for their own good. If they’re as good looking as Johnny Depp is we can sorta understand the ladies lapse in judgment.

Call Voice Mail Directly

The NY Post featured a story yesterday "Dial-a-Breakup Made Easy" about a number you can call that will put you directly into the person's you are calling voice mail. Here's how it works: You dial 267-SLY-DIAL then dial the cell number you are calling at the prompt. You'll listen to a short ad, then be put into the other person's voice mail. Now the story suggests this is a good way to breakup with a person, which we would NEVER do! Having been broken up with over voice mail, we can tell you first hand it's a really crappy and wimpy way to end things.

However, we see this coming in handy when you need to take a mental health day at the beach and don't want to speak directly with your boss or if you want to check in at home while you're away and don't want the drama of speaking to your SO directly.

Oh NO!

That's our only reaction to this NYTime's story about naked vacations. The above photo of tennis in the buff about captures our horror. Definitely NOT for us!
