Agent Provocateur Window @ Selfridge's London

People on their way to work got an eyeful today when a woman stripped naked in the window of Selfridges - but it was all in the name of art. The model posed nude for an artist to paint her to promote Strip, a fragrance by lingerie label Agent Provocateur.
Passers-by gaped, fumbling for their camera phones, while buses slowed down and passengers swarmed to the windows. But once the artist, who calls himself Jacques le Trompet, finished the painting, the model, Jen, covered up and the curtain was drawn.
Sadly for those with a sudden urge to rush down to Selfridges this afternoon she has now been replaced by a clothed mannequin. It is the latest and most daring window display by the label. A spokeswoman said: "It's part of the tradition for Agent Provocateur. In 2005 we had a live striptease in the window of our Soho branch. The street was rammed."

Nicole Kidman @ Bazaar

Nicole Kidman in the new issue of Australian Harper's Bazaar, looking quite beautiful I may say. I haven't been a huge fan of Nicole Kidman lately as the last few movies I watched with her in the cast were total bombs in my opinion. I did love her in "Moulin Rouge" as the exhuberant temptress Satine and also by playing the dead house mistress in "The Others". I just hated her on that "oh-sooo-boring" movie "The Hours", with that big fake nose and in those unwatchable turkeys "Stepford Wives" and "Bewitched".

Comme des Garçons Underwear

Move over La Perla and 2-Xist!

Over the last twenty or so years, Rei Kawakubo and her Comme des Garçons label have been responsible for designing some of the most wildly creative clothes in fashion history. Next season, however, it's back to basics for a collaboration of underthings with the century-old Danish clothier Hammerthor. The Comme des Garçons SHIRT line launches the debut collection of briefs, tanks, and T-shirts in signature logo prints and polka dots—or classic gray and white. But I am sure it will not be much competition with the CKs or Agent Provocateurs when it comes to sexy undies, as these are clearly for intellectual fashion-victims.

More Dita @ Fredericks's of Hollywood

A few more pictures of Porcelain Goddess Dita Von Teese in the new Frederick's of Hollywood catalog. There were way too many excellent photos and I just couldn't make my mind up which to choose to post so I chose them all! I would like to see these images in a calendar or book form as they are very faithful to the whole pin-up aesthetics that I love so much, and so does Dita. They would make a great gallery show as well and would love to own an original print of one of them. I just wouldn't know which to pick thought...

Fergalicious @ Allure

Fergie photographed by Michael Thompson for December's Allure magazine looking very sexy and va-va-voom-ish. Here's a little sample from the mag:

"The lyrics to "My Humps," which she describes as "a little bit racy," made Fergie nervous at first. Although she considers herself a flirt, she's quick to point out her dedication to her boyfriend, actor Josh Duhamel. "I'm a very sensual person...and I love being with one man. My man."

I spent this past New Years in Rio de Janeiro and The Black Eyed Peas performed a free concert on Ipanema Beach, that started right after the fireworks. I must say that when Fergie sang her ditty "My Humps" it sounded almost like the recorded version. She was quite good in person, to my surprise, and she got the crowd of a few tens of thousands going throughout their performance. I did see some unflattering pictures of her in a tabloid, in a "before they were stars" kind of spread, that looked almost like she had some face work done. Who cares, right? She looks great now and I do like her sass and sense of style.

Rihanna Gets a Spanking @ GQ

Barbados stunner Rihanna is one GORGEOUS woman and she is not shy about showing off the goods in a kinky GQ spread. She gets a good spanking from some guy - Robin Thicke - that is also a fellow singer. I must live under a rock but I have no clue who he is... Maybe I've heard his song in the radio but the name didn't stick. Getting back to Rihanna, she is wearing some delicious outfits Cavalli, D2 Squared, D&G and Luis Vuitton, but my favorite is the gold Tomas Maier bathing suit on the photo below. HOT!

The Pin-Up Art of Bill Ward

I found some great images of cartoonist Bill Ward's work and had to post it here at Little-Pumpkins. The classic 1940's-1950's style is a favorite of mine and I just love all the great curvaceous torpedo-bra-wearing pin-ups in his work. One of Bill Ward's signatures were his "Telephone Girls", voluptuous blonds and brunettes laying about in sexy stocking and sheer negligees, sharing last night's gossip and sexy innuendos with their gal pals or would-be paramours. Love it!!!

To see more of Ward's great work go to his site - Women of Ward.

Eva Green @ Vanity Fair

Va-va-voom! Ex-Bond girl Eva Green is looking might hot in this Vanity Fair web-exclusive photo shoot. The French-born actress was photographed by Patrick Demarchelier at Sunbeam Studios, London and I can't believe my eyes. If I squint I see Dita Von Teese!! She also seems to channel Maggie Gyllenhaal on that seductive Agent Provocateur campaign that I posted here a few weeks back. I guess serious actresses like to slip on some sexy lingerie and play sex-kittens once in a while too... Why not if you look that good?

"I love photo shoots where I can be like a pinup, not myself," Green gushes. "Where I can be feminine, glamorous, dark … not like in real life. I hate it when you go in and they want you to be 'natural,' to be yourself. I just hate it. I love having fun. When they ask you to smile, I hate it. Of course I smile in my real life, but to do it on cue, that's not spontaneous. I'd rather do something that's like a little movie, like a little story, rather than just me—I feel naked."

Eva can also be seen in the lavish TV spot for the new Dior fragrance Midnight Poison, directed by Hong Kong auteur Wong Kar-Wai.

Ché Magazine

Ché is a magazine from Belgium that focuses on straight men and what they’re supposedly interested in. It's based on testosterone-charged laddie's magazines like Maxim, Stuff and FHM and focus on women, fast cars, cool gadgets and sports. Their current ad campaign is nothing short of suggestive and misogynist, portraying women as sex-objects (what's new?) and bad drivers. I must say that the campaign is very visually appealing and their art direction is superb. As a publicity stunt they outfitted several newsstands in Belgium with posters, that attached to it's check-out counters, gave them a quite sexy-funny effect. You can actually buy the "single-guy's bed sheets", with the lingerie-clad pin-up printed on it, from Ché's website.
