Lingerie Shopping Advice from Agent Provocateur

Hey, fellas! "Don't be afraid of the staff at a lingerie store, because they can really help you," says Sarah Shotton, the creative director of scorching hot lingerie line Agent Provocateur.

"And be open to suggestions," the designer told us last night at the racy opening of the newest Agent Provocateur shop on Madison Avenue. "Really think about your partner. If she has a lot of black lingerie, don't buy her anything black. And find out her bra size by looking in her drawer before you shop. It's not all for you, it's for her as well, so try to find something that she's going to like."

To celebrate the company's new uptown locale, Shotton hired a group of models clad in the brand's haute lingerie who danced in the windows much to the delight of awe-struck onlookers.

"Even though we're at 65th and Madison, I wanted the store to still be fun," says Shotton. "People uptown get a bit frisky, too."

With all eyes on the scantily dressed models (one twirling around on a stripper pole), we asked one of them, a redhead named Megan wearing only a thong and glittery pasties, the key to confidence when one is wearing virtually nothing.

"Champagne," she said.

Men, take note.

I just knew reading this article there would be women trashing the models. I can't understand why. It is a store for you ladies to look and feel sexy. What is wrong with that????

Exactly, and it's usually just for the men in their lives...what is wrong with these jealous women commenting before us? So tired of people commenting negatively about articles that clearly weren't for them.

A girls gotta make a living..If she is young enough and in shape enough to model lingerie, so be it..Body and looks aren't going to last forever...use them to your advantage while you can.. I personally would have never done it when I was their age even though I could have, just too shy for that in public..
