Known for their provocative ads, lingerie designer Agent Provocateur just released their new online campaign with a swash bucking pirate theme.

 You can have a taste of pirate life with their interactive movie, complete with hot pirates, sexy lingerie and treasure. As a matter of disclosure, I have to admit to having a pirate fetish, so the whole experience makes me tingle.  Aside from my personal appreciation, I love it when a company steps out of the box and offers us something more than a photo of their lingerie in front of a fireplace or bedpost. The pirate experience acknowledges women’s fantasies and fetishes in a steamy and positive fashion.

In other lingerie news, Boston College is getting heat from their conservative Catholic alumni over a deal with Victoria’s Secret that adds  the BC logo to Vicoria’s Secret’s Pink Collection. The article is here.

“There is no way that we want that (BC) logo to be interpreted as ‘We OK the sexualization of women,’ ” said Sharlene Hesse-Biber, director of the Women’s Studies Center at Boston College, about the products.

So what should we do, “desexualize” women? Victoria’s Secret is selling lingerie to women. And yes, we want to feel sexy and good, it’s part of the female experience. I’d rather embrace my sexuality than shroud it in Catholic guilt.
