30th Anniversary Special Guest

Coquette Welcomes Taya Parker to the Party.

Coquette lingerie is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and what better way to celebrate than at the International Lingerie Show (ILS). After all, lingerie is what Coquette is all about. Coquette's exclusive 30th anniversary party is being held tonight at Lucky Strike Lanes inside the RIO in Las Vegas. For those of you who don't know, Luck Strike Lanes is an upscale bowling alley with a club like atmosphere. It will be a huge hit, with a suspected 200 customers expected to be attending, which is the capacity of Lucky Strike. There will be a fabulous selection of fine Hors d'Oeuvres accompanied by wine, beer, and cocktails.

Our customers are the most significant reason for our success throughout the years, and it was extremely important for us that we bring them all together for a fun evening full of contests, events and entertainment.

Sounds fantastic right? Well, it just keeps getting better! Penthouse pet of the year 2009 and winner of the popular show the Rock of Love, Taya Parker, will be joining the fun and entertainment at Lucky Strike for Coquette's 30th anniversary party.

If that's not hot enough, shes also going to be signing autographs at Coquette's booth at the ILS on Tuesday April 22nd! Its obvious her pictures are incredibly stunning, but they don't do her justice when seeing her in person. We are extremely excited to be celebrating such an important mile stone with Parker as well as our loyal customers! Stay posted for pictures from this event taking place tonight from 830pm - 12am!

Stripping Away Your Insecurites

It's only human nature to let our insecurities get the best of us, and even
though we both know you’re beautiful, you might not always feel like it. Most likely there’s always going to be that one problem area on your body that you have a hard time coming to terms with. Let’s face it- we all do, but does it inhibit you from buying that adorable cupcake printed mesh baby doll and panty set? (www.penthouselingerie.com)





Or that edgy tattoo heart print mini dress with deep v front and pretty pink ribbon lacing? (www.penthouselingerie.com) If it does, we’re going to fix that right now! I mean it, weather it’s your butt, legs, thigh, arms, chest, or stomach there is flattering lingerie out there for you. So stop worrying and lets shop online together, I’m going to show you what styles are going to work for you. No one wants an unflattering piece of lingerie, and since everyone’s body type is different, not every single style is going to work for you.



The Butt Conscious.

Who doesn’t like a girl with a rockin’ booty? Honestly! Instead of baring it all with that itsy bitsy g-string, go for a sexy skirt that hugs your beautiful curves. I’m not talking about one you’d wear to the bar; we’re keeping this strictly sexy and lingerie here. Opt for one that is a little ‘cheeky’ and shows just enough to tease! Check out this sexy skirt from the Penthouse line (www.penthouselingerie.com) and add some panty hose to add a dramatic effect, forget the panties though!



If your problem is the opposite and you don’t have much of a booty- drop the skirt! I’m sure you’d still look cute in it, but a skirt is just going to make your butt look flatter. Go for the cherry print thong with gathered detail and printed Penthouse ribbon side ties (www.penthouselingerie.com). The side ties will draw slight attention away from your butt (not too much though, because even though YOU might not like it, I can guarantee your partner can’t keep their eyes off it!) and the gathered detail will certainly accentuate it.





Leg Conscious.

Regardless, if you think your legs are too small or too big, too long or too short, there’s ways to enhance these minor predicaments! If you’re shy

about your legs, go for a more sensual look with a flowing gown that has a sexy slit on side, front or back for that added bit of attitude. You’ll look sophisticated, sexy, and glamorous all in one, and who doesn’t want to look like that!

If you’re looking to make your legs appear longer go for a shorter dress and a pair of bedroom heels, a longer gown-like dress will engulf you in the fabric and might leave you tripping on it- slightly embarrassing.



Thigh Conscious.


Get your pretty little legs in some sexy pantyhose! Not necessarily thigh highs, those will draw attention to your thighs. Go for a full fishnet or regular style crotch less (for added effect) pantyhose. The reason I suggest this, is that it smooth’s out any unwanted noticeable flaws and bumps in your thigh/butt area, and gives the skin a smooth feel and look. It will also suck in your inner thighs as well.

Arm Conscious.

If your arms are an issue, add a sexy pair of satin gloves to your lingerie outfit. It will take the focus off any bad areas. Along with the gloves, or just on it’s own, a fun feathery boa wrapped around you will also take attention away from your arms and give you that diva appearance that I always knew you had! If you accessorize with your lingerie piece, ear rings, necklace, bracelets ect… it will also focus attention else where.





Chest Conscious.

If you have an A cup chest, you might find it hard to believe that some women with a bigger sized chest can get self conscious of their boobs too! So, if you want an outfit to flatter a big chest, go for something without cups, but lots of adjustable support such as one of these corsets. You won’t have trouble with the cup size not fitting properly, and it gives you perfectly shaped cleavage and an hourglass figure.

For smaller cup sizes, a cute padded bra and panty set such as the cherry print underwire bra with ruffle detail, has a low scoop neck and will accentuate what you got (www.penthouselingerie.com) !






Stomach Conscious.
Now, whether you’re slightly overweight, or just ‘think’ you are, you can instantly lose an inch or two by slipping into a corset! There are so many different colors, fabrics and designs to choose from. Although they look slightly difficult to squeeze into, once you adjust the ribbon or lacing in the back to fit your size, it’s easy to unclip on and off from there!

Ladies, regardless of your shape or size, its important to know you’re absolutely beautiful in your own skin and there’s no excuse to hold back from that super cute baby doll, or risqué chemise. There’s something sexy for everyone. If you have any questions or concerns about what would work best for you, or need other recommendations for different problem areas I haven’t listed, e-mail me!

Out of the Darque and into the Spotlight!

It has always been evident that Miss Raquel, Scenester Magazine and Secenester Radio/bpm:TV host, had a pretty stylish wardrobe, but now that evidence changed from ‘pretty stylish’ to flat out ‘SEXY’! Miss Raquel was also featured in a documentary earlier this week on March 10th about the rise of house music through the decades!

This Friday March 13th Activate presents the Jelo Show at Rehab, where two of Toronto’s most notorious dance floor phenomenon’s DJ/Producer Jelo, http://www.djjelo.com, and major producer MC Flipside, http://www.mcflipside.com, fuse together for a haunted night of murderous tunes inside Footwork Nightclub.

Footwork Nightclub is located at 425 Adaliade Street West and Brant St in Toronto’s club district.

Miss Raquel will be the host of this event flaunting her sexy outfit she recently picked out by Coquette lingerie.

She chose a brand new item from our Darque line D9218 http://bit.ly/KBrr, PVC jacket with raised collar and cuffs along with one of our classic Darque pieces D989 http://bit.ly/y7liH, a wet look tank top.

That is certainly what I’d call flirting with style! This is an event you undoubtedly don’t want to miss, it begins at 10:00pm and goes all the way until 5:00 am. This is a 19+ event.

The cover charge is $20.00 or if you’re quick enough to jump on the guest list its $15.00.

Stores Welcomes Brand New Darque Line!

Coquette’s brand new Darque line is hitting stores this week!! The styles are completely revamped and were inspired by the 50s pin up girl style as well as the rock and roll era. The sizes range from small all the way up to 1X/2X in the plus sizes. I love how wide the sizes range, especially in the Darque line because the PVC and wetlook material really accentuate curves and full feminine figures. For the first time ever, the Coquette designers have added a lycra skull print fabric to give an edgy flair to the wetlook/PVC that screams attitude! The best part about this line is you can totally mix and match the garments to create your own individualized style. These are some of my favorite outfits that have been put together with pieces from the new Darque line:

D9204: Corset: Red wetlook corset with attached skull lycra belt and back hook and eye closure.

D9207: Bra: Skull lycra molded cup bra with buckle strap detail.

D9223: Leggings: Wetlook leggings with back binding detail.

D9218: Jacket: PVC jacket with raised collar and cuffs.

D9216: Shorts: PVC high wasted shorts with front button detail and back zipper.

D9207: Bra: Skull lycra molded cup bra with buckle strap detail.

D9222: Dress: Flared wetlook dress with padded cups and halter neckline. Features front button detail, back keyhole opening and attached crinoline.

1735: Stockings: Fishnet stockings with elastic top.

These pieces, depending on how risqué you are, can easily be worn out to the bar or in the bedroom for your partner! Versatility is defiantly a plus when it comes to the Darque line! Check online at www.coquette.com for store locations near you!

2009 Halloween & Party Expo

I’m thinking the adorable pink and white Quarterback Queen, or maybe I’ll be a Deviant Devil this year? I’m not quite sure yet…but I do like to plan my outfits in advance…WELL, in advance. Ok, so perhaps February is a tad bit early to start thinking about what I want to dress up as this year for Halloween…? Nah! It’s never too early to start thinking about all the exciting new costume designs you’ll get to choose from this year. I’ve been lucky enough to take a sneak peak at many of them and I KNOW you’re going to love them, so it’s safe to get over excited now!
Coquette wrapped things up with another successful appearance at The 2009 Halloween & Party Expo.

Long before Halloween has even crossed your mind, our designers are hard at work coming up with fresh new sexy costumes for the up-coming year. The 2009 Halloween & Party Expo connects a global audience of interested buyers and sellers of Halloween and Party products as well as accessories. It is a wonderful opportunity for single stores, international and domestic chains to view the latest industry products and services. This is an exceptional and convenient opportunity for companies to come out and meet one on one with buyers who are ready to place orders; it also gives enormous exposure to a worldwide audience.

This event took place between January 22nd – January 27th and ran on a schedule that included: meetings, seminars, and of course the highly anticipated Halloween Style Show: Costumes in Motion. To view more pictures from the show visit Coquette at Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/34173768@N02/ and keep checking back for the release date of our completely 2009 Masquerade Costumes catalog.

Coquette is giving Paris a taste of the Darque side

Coquette has turned the lights out and gave Paris the show of their life…by bringing them the Darque side, and EVERYONE loved it! Well, at least those who attended The Salon International de la Lingerie Show. Our Darque lingerie line allows you to bring your deepest darkest fantasies to reality, designed with coated lycra and PVC materials to create a liquid latex risqué look perfect for either the bedroom or the club.



Another year has come and gone for The Salon International de la Lingerie, which if you’re unfamiliar with, is the world’s most famous lingerie show. It features 600 brands from around the world as well as displays multiple fashion shows to exhibit the latest designer’s fashion for this industry. The main categories of this exhibit are: casual lingerie, exclusive women underwear, men underclothes, underwear for sleep and rest, corset, beach fashion and swimsuits, equipment, materials and fittings for lingerie manufacturing. This year we have featured our highly anticipated new Darque line which continues to do well in Europe. We have got the opportunity to meet and mingle with some really talented designers and exchanged some useful feedback, comments, and information.



If you live in Paris or you’ve ever been to visit, and if adventure pumps through your veins and you enjoy exhibitionism, chances are you probably have been to, or at least heard of Pigalle Place.



Pigalle Place is a community of sex shops, peep shows, strip clubs, cabarets and general adults-only, X-rated fun. This Red light district is an extremely popular tourist attraction and never experiences a dull quiet moment. When we decided to introduce Pigalle to our very own Coquette, the stores absolutely fell in love! Coquette lingerie has now been added to the extensive lingerie selection in some of the biggest sex/lingerie shops in Pigalle Place, Paris. I am very excited as the potential is endless, after all, Paris does have fabulous taste in fashion & lingerie.



In addition to the Pigalle Place, Coquette’s famously wide-known Darque line has been introduced to the Champs Elysées, known as the worlds most beautiful and prestigious avenue, a perfect place for Coquette to enhance the area. The Champs Elysées is also a top Paris district for city life, and is also recognized as the most expensive strip of real estate in all of Europe. The avenue stretches over two kilometers and is bordered with lush greenery. With all the local and tourist traffic that flows through these two main areas of Paris, Coquette is sure to be a top seller at all of their stores.
