When Marinites are feeling sassy (or is it saucy?) we all know where to go: Pleasures of the Heart, once again voted Best Lingerie Store, which features the kind of underwear you don’t find in multipack plastic bags at Costco. Not to mention toys and other, err, accessories. But the whole idea, says store owner Jennifer Islas, is to create “a safe place to ask questions” and that if people come in nervous she wants them to leave smiling. “Our customer base is ages 18 to 100—anyone who is having sex or wants to have sex,” she says. “One thing I’ve learned is that you can’t make any assumptions looking at a person.” Islas, a former librarian who has a very quiet, caring, comforting demeanor, admits, “I’m a terrible salesperson.” Told she would make a good counselor or therapist, she laughs and says, “I’m told that all the time.” But that’s not on the horizon: She’s satisfied with her business, which satisfies so many, and knows that sex is “a basic part of our humanity. It’s happy and healthy. An orgasm a day is good for you. It works better than an apple.”

Maison Lejaby is bringing its Parisian style to London.
As a celebration of its 130th anniversary, the French lingerie brand has set up a series of pop-up shops in Rigby Peller stores around London.
The exhibitions showcase the evolution of lingerie over the past 130 years.
The Maison Lejaby collection is available for purchase within the shops from now until 13 April – and customers can also enjoy style and fitting evenings, with in-store advice from their lingerie experts.
Sounds like a brilliant excuse for a lingerie makeover…
