Provocateur

While viewing the latest James Bond film, Skyfall, we noted a very subtle allusion to Agent 007's interest in beautiful, rich women.  It can be heard and seen in the teaser trailer - during a free-association question-and-answer session, Mr. Bond is posed the word:

Agent?

He replies:

Provocateur.

Oooooo. Naughty.

Agent Provocateur, for those who may not know, is a purveyor of luxury lingerie.  Agent Provocateur wares are quite high-end (the word, "expensive," seems too cheap to use in relation to the posh items), and are lovely indeed.  Herself had the pleasure of visiting an Agent Provocateur boutique some years ago when she and Beloved Husband took a short trip to Las Vegas in celebration of their 15th anniversary.  Such beautiful garments were there.

Even though -- in the words of Offspring the Third -- "Mom's pretty manly," Herself is still very much a woman at heart and does in fact enjoy frilly undergarments from time to time.  If she won the lottery, though she would be careful with her new-found wealth, she nevertheless would treat herself to some more finery from Agent Provocateur.   Lacy unmentionables would be an enjoyable private antithesis to the rugged, practical outer clothing of the hiking trail or the firing range.

Nice.
