Cleopatra was an Egyptian Queen who conquered Rome and ruled Egypt with her power, wit and striking beauty. Her legendary attractiveness and sexual appeal boasts successive conquests of the world’s most powerful men and commanded a loyal army to her every need.

The beautiful Queen hardly noticed the life of luxury and the servants around her as she lounged and contemplated on her next powerful move. Her mind was working overtime as the wheels in her head kept turning on how to use her exotic beauty and powers of seduction to get what she wants. Queen Cleopatra of Egypt wanted nothing less than the world and she will seduce legions of armies to fulfill her every need.

THE FASHION TELLER: Femme Fatale “Marie Laveau”

Marie LaVeau was the most powerful Voodoo Queen and High Priestess to have ever lived. She has the dark power to cast spells, call up the gods and demons of Voodoo and mesmerize anyone she catches in a glance. She was exceptionally beautiful and can entrance anyone to do as she bids.

One dark and stormy night, Marie Laveau was busy performing a very dark and dangerous blood drenched ritual. Her body trembled with agitated power as she made an animal sacrifice to call the voodoo spirits. She was in a livid mad trance, her body moving rhythmically like a wild dance. She will make someone suffer and she can do it like no other.

NEW RELEASE @ CHAMPAGNE! Sparkling Couture: VINTAGE

CHAMPAGNE! SPARKLING COUTURE

VINTAGE

Ladies, do you remember a time when, as a child, you accidentally stumbled upon a treasured family armoire or an old chest tucked away in an attic or back room, and you opened it to find the most beautiful vintage gown? The color had ever-so-slightly faded, but even with age it maintained its enduring style and rare quality, and the pearls and sparkling embellishments along with the hand-sewn silk flowers brought this timeless gown back to life . . .

Now that memory comes alive once again with the release of CHAMPAGNE! Sparkling Couture’s VINTAGE, a stunning haute couture gown, perfect for the Spring and Summer seasons, and one that will make your heart pound with excitement each time you reach for it!

Offered In six colors (Old Purple, Old Blue, Old Pink, Old Green, Old Yellow, and Old White), you will have a hard time picking which is your favorite. The unique, soft, dreamy variations of color in this gown are enhanced by the beauty of its simple and yet classically tailored lines. The strapless bodice is covered in tear-shaped pearls. Form-fitting to the floor, a lovely sheer train surrounds the back and sides, and the entire gown is covered in sparkling beads which move and flow gracefully with you.

Encircling the waist are lovely silk flowers dyed to match the gown. To complete this elegant look we include flowers which you can place in your hair.

The breathtaking Jade Spectre, our Face of the Month for April, models VINTAGE and will appear in our magazine ads and on our vendors.

Much like an aging fine wine, VINTAGE will only get better with time. This memorable, feminine classic will forever be a lasting addition to your wardrobe.

Our name and location may be new but the quality you have come to know and expect is better than ever!
