The need for her burns every inch of me, but I force myself to pull away. I have to have her tonight.
“Elsa, will you stay with me tonight?” I plead.
But she stills, and I’m met with a blank stare.
The Capitalist Chronicle
Wedding bliss and a bridal line for the Lingerie Lovers
By Lis Langley
New York—Imagine a crystal clear blue day; the sun shining, birds chirping, and doves flying overhead. Sounds like a scene from a fairy tale, does it not?
Though this might not be the backdrop for Elsa Blakely and Tanner Sharpe’s press conference this afternoon, they looked more than picture-perfect as they announced their own lingerie-inspired fairy tale.
It’s official—the Lingerie Lovers are engaged, and wedding bells are imminent, in a record three months’ time.
Dirty Little Angel’s CEO Blakely glowed as she stood next to her fiancé, Sharpe, the CEO of Pretty Little Vixen, and every inch of the soon-to-be newlyweds radiated love.
Blakely looked stunning as she held her fiancé’s hand. Being the successful designer that she is, her romantic Dolce and Gabbana Cady sheath dress, decorated with a delicate pink rose design, perfectly complimented their announcement. It’s a dress made for such occasions and seemingly for the lingerie royal herself.
Sharpe never strayed away from his lover as he emitted both a sense of pride and excitement. His navy-blue Ralph Lauren suit, paired with an unbuttoned white shirt, had every woman envious of the future Mrs. Sharpe.
We’ve had our doubts, but it looks like the two are a match made in lingerie heaven.
Adding to their engagement and impending nuptials, Sharpe announced that there will be a collaborative DLA/NLA bridal line.
He declares: “In celebration of our wedding and the love we have for each another, we’re thrilled to announce a new line of bridal lingerie. Dirty Little Angel and Pretty Little Vixen’s collaboration has been a much-anticipated endeavor, and this seems like a perfect time for us to come together and share our joy. We can’t wait to begin what will hopefully be a long and successful partnership. Don’t you agree, Elsa?”
On queue, Elsa continues to express their enthusiasm. “Yes, of course, I do. And we’re eager to see what else will come of our collaboration in the future.”
But, wait, there’s more.
Blindsiding the press—and admittedly this reporter—Tanner outed Elsa and her return to modeling.
Beaming from head to toe, Tanner states: “But what’s even more exciting than the bridal line is that Elsa will be modeling it.”
A quick glance passes between them, and as I am the go-to expert on these Lingerie Lovers, I did detect a moment of hesitation.
From what? We can’t be sure. However, one can speculate and pin it on her nerves.
Coming back to the world of high-fashion modeling after a lengthy hiatus is never a simple feat. But Blakely needn’t worry. She’s a professional—well sometimes—and her model body is still intact.
Nevertheless, when a reporter asks for her statement in response to this news, there’s not an ounce of nerves to be seen. In a bold and confident move, she lets go of
Sharpe and stands stoically in front of the microphone, centering herself before the horde of reporters.
“We were hoping to keep it a surprise, but I can see my fiancé’s excitement is getting the best of him today. But yes, it is true. I will be returning to modeling, and I’ll be doing it with the release of our bridal line, right before I’ll walk down my most anticipated runaway, the aisle, in a less revealing white lace of course.”
Her playful response answers all questions and concerns regarding the sincerity of their engagement.
This reporter, however, has some lingering thoughts as to why there’s a need to fast-track their nuptials. One can’t help but wonder if this arrangement and their many announcements today are all for the sake of their respective businesses?
Regardless, the coming three months will be busy and, I’m sure, very entertaining.
So dear readers, to stay up to date on all things Blakely and Sharpe, and the future wedding that’s shaking the lingerie industry, always refer to Lis Langley.
