(http://drycleaningtips NULL.com/2011/02/13/364-plus-valentines-day/dscf3430/)It’s really not a “cop out” post for Valentine’s Day, just mere coincidence.

Last week Agent Provocateur’s new shop on Madison Avenue opened and was in preview mode. Unlike Spider Man, Turn Off the Dark, the shop was open for business with the official opening party scheduled for today, one day before Valentine’s Day.

I strolled over after a minor disaster involving a freshly painted wall and a staff member’s pink uniform. Not wanting to leave a lady in distress, I walked briskly over to survey the damage. (No, they didn’t have to twist my arm, but Agent Provocateur does sell crystal whips.)

Agent Provocateur specializes in the sexiest, luxurious lingerie anywhere. Since Jeeves and Agent Provocateur were both founded in London, I was already enamored.

Their tag line is, “Flowers are for whatever, knickers are forever”.

364 days a year you can exude sexiness with knickers from Agent Provocateur, oh and even on Valentine’s Day which brings us right up to 365.

In case you are wondering “knickers” are panties in the UK.

Latex paint? Disaster no more. The Jeeves craftsmen were able to remove all traces of the disaster, without changing the luscious pink color of the uniform. No distress for the ladies at Agent Provocateur, and no whipping for the lads at Jeeves. (Though they may have been disappointed.)

Agent Provocateur (http://www NULL.agentprovocateur NULL.com/) is located at 675 Madison Avenue between 61st and 62nd. Go visit and get some sexy knickers.

If you have a disaster with paint or anything that puts you or your wardrobe in distress. Jeeves is your man, whip not required.

Jeeves New York (http://www NULL.jeevesny NULL.com), 39 East 65th Street, between Madison and Park. 212-570-9130.
