summary: “Mark is a co-editor in the fashion magazine you work for, monopolizing everyones attention with his looks, including yours. Prompted by his vast knowledge about lingerie and his tendency to want to rip them apart, you invite him in your office, and you definitely put him to work”

a/n: inspired by the legendary scene from ‘Community’ and a discussion I had with my bf and best friend about lingerie.

----------------------------------------------------

He looked dashing again, as always. 

While Monday morning finds most employees in their tousled bed hair, dark eye circles and crooked buttons from hasting to be on time, Mark Lee looks like he jumped out of the fashion magazine you worked for. He was an editor, like yourself, yet the way he confidently strolled through the hallways, capturing everyone’s attention, had executives and employees alike toying with the idea of having him in their bed.

Mark’s shoulders looked even broader in the white shirt he had chosen for the day, neatly ironed and held together with a bright coral tie. A suede brown vest, that would look plain weird on anyone else that would dare pull it off, showed off his tiny waist perfectly, short enough for the workers on the welcome desk to whisper in admiration about his ‘cute perky butt’.

As one of Mark’s many secret fans, you wanted to join in on their giggling, but as his coworker you had to keep yourself from indulging in those dirty thoughts that kept creeping in your head. It was hard to deny this sweet distraction, that perks you up in excitement and turns up the heat of your body.  Like now, that he makes his way towards you in the main lobby, and you wonder how nice his pink locks would look between your thighs.

“Good morning, y/n”, he says when he’s finally standing in front of you, and you almost spill your mug filled with instant coffee in the sound of his raspy morning voice.

“Lee”, you address him almost coldy, but your smirk as you take a sip of the hot liquid gives you away. You can’t stop yourself from checking him out, his new high-end belt begging to be tugged on and used in other ways that it was originally made for. He bites his cheek when he notices your eyes laying on his crotch a second too long but he decides not to mention it.

“Are you going on a cigarette break soon?”

You sigh, rolling your eyes before making sure to lower your voice. “Didn’t you hear yesterday’s briefing? New boss is trying to cut them and apparently so must we. No smoking allowed here anymore.”

“Then you chose the wrong outfit”

He seems satisfied with the little yelp you let out, internally scolding yourself for getting so worked up over his compliment but hell, there’s nothing more you want than to fuck that smile off his face. If that’s what he wanted that’s what he’d get, but you refuse to look all fucked out here in the open just from the mere words of Mark Lee. Not when so many of your assistants were watching.

“We got assigned the lingerie issue together”, you change the subject and start walking towards your offices at the end of the floor. “ I need you to show me your picks later”

“It was hard finding anything worth including, except for Savage X Fenty nothing new is in the game. The La Perla designs are so outdated, and don’t get me started on Fleur du Mal.”

“Wow, you seem to know a lot about lingerie, huh?”, you exclaim, genuinely impressed, and you let him bask in his pride for a little. He runs his fingers through his hair and you catch a whiff of his shampoo, its scent coupled with his cologne highly addictive.

“I love fashion, and it’s kind of my job so I have to keep up. I’m not really a big fan of them, though.”

You raise an eyebrow at his confession, and halt as you arrive outside his office that is a little nearer than yours. Your body is leaning up against the wall, in a way that accentuates the curves of your body and Mark doesn’t try to be discreet in his staring. He might as well raise his hands, go through the layers and layers of palpable sexual tension between you and run them all over your body like you so desperately want.

“Don’t get me wrong, they’re pretty”, he starts, and you’re not sure if he’s addressing you, your lips or your decolletage.”But if we were getting down to business and I saw you in lingerie, all I’d think about is how to rip it off of you”

It takes every ounce of self control in your body and the thought of how much you need your salary not to pounce at him, and start removing his clothes right then and there. The masks of professionalism have vanished and so has your patience with him, so you fix his tie, tying it up a little tighter than it needs to be and you love the gasp that leaves his chapped lips. 

“Since you are so knowledgeable Mark, I’m not sure if the lingerie I’m wearing is off-season. How about you come to my office later to hand me your picks and give me your honest opinion?”

He chokes on thin air, the angry veins on his neck twitching from the lack of circulation to his head as he huffs out a chuckle. 

“I’ll be there before the meeting starts”, he promises before slipping inside his office, his hands brushing yours as he slides past you. You bet he thinks he’s smooth, but his reflection on the glass door of his neighboring office betrays him, catching him in the act of staring at your ass as you walk away. You wink at his reflection and he winces when he realizes, but you’ll forgive him. This sweet distraction in the name of Mark Lee was all you needed this boring Monday morning, and you can’t wait to see if your coworker is as skillful as he talks himself up to be.

----------------------------------------------------------

The wait wasn’t long, but it sure was painful, your mind wandering at the conversation you had with Mark this morning and eyes checking the time every five minutes. You’d almost miss his figure in your absentmindedness, standing outside your office, nervously shifting his body weight from one leg to the other. 

The glass separating your office with the main hall was tinted, with a few stripes of clear glass on the very top, giving you a limited view of the people hurrying past. Through those lines you also saw Mark, hesitating to knock and giving himself what looks like a pep talk. You think it’s adorable and decide to take him out of his misery, getting up yourself to open the door.

His mouth drops open when you do, looking like a deer in the headlights with his big doe eyes and binder that is placed -strategically- over his crotch. You smile politely and motion him to come in, your meetup not seeming strange to any passerby, as you have worked together many times in the past. The moment he turns the knob behind him to close the door, Mark drops the designs from his hands, pictures of lingerie flying in the air and landing across the carpeted floor. You barely manage to turn the lock before he pushes you backwards with a hand on your jaw, until you feel the wood of your desk digging against your ass.

You close your eyes and immediately are braced with the feeling of his tongue entering your mouth, the strong aftertaste of cinnamon candy tingling your tastebuds. Bringing him closer by his tie, you let him lift you up the table, legs wrapping around his waist and you verify that he was, indeed, already hard behind that binder. 

“You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting to do that”, he murmurs in the kiss and tugs on the roots of your hair suddenly, forcing your head to tilt back and thus expose your neck.

His breath is hot over your collarbones and the feeling of his hardness is driving you insane, so you let your blazer fall from your shoulders before taking off his vest. Mark helps you out by loosening his tie and starts to unbutton his shirt, but you stop him when his chest is almost half-exposed.

“Don’t take it off, you look sexy like that”

He blushes from your compliment, momentarily letting go of his surprisingly dom persona.

“I thought I was supposed to examine your outfit though?”, he asks cheekily and you remove your blouse, revealing the teddy that’s been hugging your body.

It’s black, with a mesh body and velvet lining over the cups and crotch area. The adjustable straps help your boobs look full and round, the velvet strips that are going down, parallel to your body lines, make you look as curvy as ever. 

Mark looks a little lost, like a kid in a candy store and he clears his throat before speaking up again. 

“I need to feel the fabric”, he states, almost too seriously for the situation you were both in currently and he runs his fingers from your belly button upwards to your abs. His fingers toy with the lace adorning the cups and he finally squeezes your boobs. He chuckles at the naughtiness of what you’re doing right now, breaking character, and you’re reminded of how young Mark really is. You free your right boob from its constraint and the sight of your nipple, hard and erect for him, immediately sobers him up. 

His mouth has stayed open in his trance, and you take advantage of it by placing your fingers over his lips, then slowly pushing them in. With his tongue wetting your fingertips, and his big eyes glued on you, waiting for your next move, he really resembles a puppy, and you gloat in the sudden gain of control over him.

When you feel that he’s had enough, or rather, that you’ve had enough, you push your digits out of the comfortable rim of his mouth, coating your nipple with a light layer of his spit.

“So?”, you mewl seductively, “what do you think?”

“It needs to be softer, I think”

You stop massaging yourself, tilting your head in confusion by his critique.

“Softer? What is softer than velvet?”

Mark smirks back at you, hand leaving your breast and travelling south. 

“I can think of something” 

He finds the buttons over the crotch of the teddy, the pieces of fabric they’re holding together damp with your arousal. You shiver when you feel his fingers easily gliding through your folds, teasing your entrance and pinching your clit.

A whine leaves your lips as he removes his fingers momentarily, falling on his knees in front of you. Suddenly remembering where you are, you stretch your body a little in your paranoia, checking if anyone is standing outside your office, witnessing your dirty meetup. But Mark is quick to bring you back up to heaven, with a flick of his tongue over your clit.

“Mmmm, so soft”

He looks so fucking delicious looking up at you, tie discarded on the floor now and lips coated with your wetness and his spit. You can feel the scruffiness of his 5 o’clock shadow slightly scratching the inside of your thighs that are so sensitive and shake in pleasure. Reaching your hands back for any form of stability you knock down some of the stationery, but how can you care when Mark draws circles with his fingers on your entrance?

He pushes in his index, then his middle finger as well, setting a pace that is as slow as it is sinfully pleasurable. Your small office is filled with the sounds of his kissing and slurping, but you can’t ask him to be quiet when you struggle to lower your moans as well. The feeling of the soft pads of his fingers massaging your walls and his tongue sucking on your pussy makes you light-headed, your nails digging in the wooden surface and desperately chasing your high. Your orgasm hits you like a wave, and you bite your fist so as not to make a sound, but Mark’s not done yet. 

He places one hand sturdily on your hips, the other cupping your left boob, successfully helping you keep your balance. He keeps lapping up your arousal, sucking on the swollen bud and you swear you see stars. You’re thrashing around in your overstimulation, too close to screaming from pleasure and you grab Mark’s hair to push him away. 

His eyes are blown out from arousal, mouth gasping for air and chin wet with your juices. The desire to have him is animalistic, and you force him up by his collar, replacing his place on the floor.

“My turn”

Unbuckling his belt in swift moves, you manage to free his member from his boxers, bright red and leaking for you. Placing his tip on your tongue, you can taste the saltiness of his precum, and Mark sighs at the warmth of your mouth. You rest your hands on his thighs, looking up to see his pretty face contorted in pleasure when you swirl your tongue around his length. 

“Oh my god, just like that”

Determined to return the favour, you gulp around him, his cock hitting the back of your throat. You ignore the burning feeling on your knees and throat and keep him there, until tears are threatening to spill from the corner of your eyes. After bobbing your head over his cock, listening to his swears over and over again you can tell he is close, and you start jerking him, slowly picking up your pace.

He lets out a guttural groan when you start palming his tip and he slaps your hand away, taking his dick in his own grasp. “Show me something worth cumming for. I want to see your body”

You fumble with the cups of your lingerie, trying to free your boobs but it’s hard, with the straps getting in the way and the fabric being too sturdy to stretch so far. Mark gets impatient with you taking so long, so he crouches forward, bunching up the mesh in his fists and ripping it in half.

Shocked yet turned on by his action you let the garment drop from your body, leaving you in only your skirt that is bunched up over your hips. Passing the mounds on your breasts you let your hands move lower, and you start to play with your pussy for Mark to see. You’re still so sensitive from your orgasm earlier and you let him know, moaning his name as you expose yourself fully for him.

As he moves his wrist frantically over his shaft, his eyes are glued on your lower lips. They are a raging red at this point, and he’s losing his mind over the look of pure lust painted on your face. He wishes he could paint it with something else but he knows you’re in the workplace, yet nothing can keep him from entertaining the thought.

“Where do you want it?”, he huffs out just a second before he’s reaching his own high and you open your mouth, giving him a silent invitation. He moves his hips closer to you, tapping his tip over your eager tongue and he watches intently at the ropes of cum that are slowly filling up your mouth.

You raise your thumb on your lips, collecting the drops that are spilling from the corner of your mouth and you swallow before Mark can even hand you the metal bin next to your desk. He seems to be in complete ecstasy, chuckling for no reason as he puts his softening member back into his underwear and helps you back into your clothes (or whatever is left from them).

“I’m sorry for ripping your lingerie”, he mumbles finally and you want to coo at how cute he sounds, “I’ll buy you a new one, I promise”

You laugh lightly, helping him at picking up the pictures of the lingerie pieces that are scattered on your floor. “It better be one of your picks”, you tease him, waving the burgundy set you were holding and he licks his lips, picturing you in it.

“Sure. How about I give it to you over some dinner this weekend?”

His offer excites you, so you nod in agreement, and you shuffle awkwardly in the heavy atmosphere of the room. As you pick up the last picture, placing it neatly inside Mark’s binder, you feel his hand wrapping around your waist, bringing you close against him. Instinctively, you kiss him, allowing yourself to get lost in the movement of his lips, that mostly taste like you and you nibble at them lightly. Mark was in the middle of squeezing the softness of your ass, humming in appreciation, when a beep comes simultaneously from both of your phones. It’s the meeting he was talking about this morning and you groan for having to let him go.

He hands you a piece of gum when you both enter the hall and you take it, praying that no one will smell his cologne all over your skin, or notice that you’re going commando under your clothes. One of your co-workers and Mark’s buddy, that you address with a nod every time you cross paths in the office kitchen catches up to you, and throws an arm over his shoulders.

“Mark, my man, you’re glowing today! Wanna grab a bite after the meeting?”

The boy turns his head in your direction, giving you a once over and winking your way, before answering with a smile that is so evident in his voice.

“Nah, thanks. I already ate”

How you can Gown Elegant With Little Funds

one. Basic principles for Work- Continue to keep excellent Essentials inside your wardrobe that happen to be certainly timeless and may last the take a look at of time and manner developments. Critical Essentials include things like black costume pants. Have about 3 top quality pairs. You may want a minimum of just one pair to possess a pin stripe which will give One's body some length and include selection, in addition to a single pair which has a cuff on The underside, and a single with no. All pairs should have a crease managing down the leg for that dressy search. Stay clear of nearly anything with pleats which happens to be at the moment outdated and tends to make you show up larger sized in the frontal space anyhow. DO put money into top quality, but reasonably priced tops like short sleeved and Âľ length tops with Lycra (to maintain their shape) in the two v-neck and round neck kinds. I like to recommend black, white and crimson, if You can not have on red, Maybe gray. These are key for below blazers with pants and can even be worn with jeans on an informal Friday.

You can want two or 3 wonderful black skirts, a pencil skirt, or slight A-line, printed skirt and one which is much more airy and entertaining. Dress shirts for Females tend to be more common than ever before. You should have some range right here. I like to recommend buying shirts that match your shoulders and arm duration properly and have a little bit of Lycra or extend fabric to help you shift freely. These can be purchased any where which include Winners, Ross for Considerably less or malls. Keep Wintertime and summertime colors. Important to any small business wardrobe may be the match. You will need a black, navy and lighter colour go well with which include camel for summer. You'll be able to don your blazer using your skirts also, no should buy a skirt fit. When shopping for sneakers keep the identical in your mind, find no less than three snug pairs of sneakers, Probably a pair of flats, and a couple of pairs of heels, one reduced and the opposite a higher pump type. I don't believe in owning all the colours on the rainbow on my shoe rack, specially when with a funds. Black and brown often get the job done, toss inside a pair of camel color for fun. The general concept Here's to get common pieces that will not go out of favor the final For several years as to not regularly be acquiring clothes. I firmly believe in buying these fundamental items in order that they'll very last a very long time. Hunt for revenue, clearances and wander as a result of thrift shops to uncover what you have to Develop your essential wardrobe.

2. Make Equipment Be just right for you- Whether they are footwear, sun shades, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, belts, scarves, handbags or hairclips, discover the ones that you choose to appreciate best and buy many at cheap outlets. The main element is to costume up a wardrobe a variety of strategies without blowing your budget on pumps and highly-priced handbags. The best thing to perform is buy all kinds of add-ons for as tiny as you'll be able to. These maintain your wardrobe fascinating by introducing color, texture, form, and bling! A couple retailers I love for this are Le Chateau, H&M and shopping mall kiosks. I discover the ideal cheap jewelry, stylish sneakers and hair clips. Purchase a brilliant orange or pink handbag from Payless Shoe shop for $20 and Lehenga Choli pump up your black suit for do the job, or denims plus a t-shirt. Hollywood stars use a similar methods just on a unique funds.

The most beneficial suggestion is to put on a terrific outfit with 1 or 2 add-ons utmost that pop! My mother utilized to gown exceptionally nicely mainly because she picked out accessories and outfits that looked fantastic but Charge next to absolutely nothing. This is due to she appeared in outlets like K-Mart as she could not pay for designer or perhaps shopping mall shop costs. Put on a Blazer and denims using a set of adorable flats and also have 1 considerable piece like a great necklace to essentially make your neckline pop. When hair is completed up, this is the best time for you to showcase shoulders as well as your neckline, so draw notice with some good earrings and necklace. Even a funky watch can jazz up an in any other case lower-critical outfit.

3. A Scarf Is Your Best friend- Scarves have lots of works by using that it is difficult not to get any inside your wardrobe. Scarves can work as a tie all around your hair in a ponytail, tied all around your neck, utilised like a belt close to your waistline or just ties on the shoulder strap of your respective handbag to get a flirty glimpse. It is sweet to have range. Black and Red are my favorites nonetheless I've some softer colours which include pale pink and beige with gentle brown in full stripes, polka-dots are certainly in today also. The scarf belt goes fantastic with a horny best and pair of denims. While you are bored with the sample or shade change them up using your Buddy's for wide range.

four. Deal with your Experience- Even if you do not feel like your wardrobe appears like one million bucks, put on a smile. It goes a good distance and brightens your experience! A bit makeup genuinely makes a variance. The 3 essentials I would advise are Mascara, Lipstick (or a fantastic gloss) plus some blush. This can incorporate coloration towards your face and make your capabilities pop. I have not purchased in to the notion that Designer high-priced makeup is greatest. I have utilised Deal with Female my complete lifetime and possess often had compliments. Their goods are ÂĽ the price of department store And that i can purchase them any place. The important thing is to help keep the makeup very simple and light. Never dress in weighty Basis and loose powers with shiny lipstick and hefty eyeliner. The real key is always to search pure and chic with the right mild shade of blush and lipstick and a black/brown or black shade of mascara. Invest much less funds on make-up but devote a lot more time on mastering a natural appear that may be even.

five. Invest in High-quality Shoes that Very last -Always get top quality footwear that may final you 2-3%2B years. Make certain that they are a straightforward shade and elegance, but extra importantly that they've a great sole and heel lifts. Sneakers are not produced the best way they was. I find myself possessing to exchange my lifts on almost all of my shoes because These are plastic. They put on down rapidly resulting in potential accidents while you glide throughout floors in Individuals heels. The shoe maintenance shop will put great high quality lifts on and it is cheap. Exchange these on a yearly basis or as required with put on so the heels of your respective sneakers keep wanting new. Additionally, shine your footwear consistently and buy scuff taking away Alternative. An incredible pair of sneakers can look like trash once they haven't been taken care of.

If you actually do crave something stylish then Enable it be for a particular outfit, or dress in which the sneakers will not be commonly worn. Why don't you receive the knock-off style at Payless Shoe retail store or An additional price cut shoe retailer? Then you'll get the fashion and rate you need and do not have to worry a great deal about the durability.

6. No Tattered Undergarments! -Numerous Gals target on their own outer wardrobe and overlook exactly what is hiding beneath. It is crucial to often clean your bras and camisoles and many others on sensitive cycle. It is rather unappealing to check out a effectively dressed lady having a tattered, dirty bra strap peeking out of her top rated. Furthermore, underwear and socks have to be replaced when stained or tattered acquiring holes or elastic coming aside. This isn't alluring for your lover or on your own! I normally buy a bunch of cheap clearance rack panties that appear to be designer knock-offs with every one of the lacy designs. I generally spend all-around $2-$5 for every pair and They appear good! Whenever they get ruined in my washing equipment or don with time I can just toss them without wondering twice. Whilst we are on the topic, women do get bras that match your cup correctly and so are seamless. There is nothing worse than a terrific blouse with seam traces or nipples demonstrating!

7. Decorate but Really don't overdo it-Elegant Ladies look classy mainly because they Do not overdo it. Wearing a fantastic dress or outfit with an individual ring, set of small earrings and a small necklace is ok. Sporting a accommodate that has a ring on each and every finger, view, bracelet, heavy makeup, hair in an elaborate clip, a belt, a scarf around the neck and dazzling shoes is overkill. No person is aware what to have a look at initially! When you prepare to leave your house, look into a full duration mirror with all your overall outfit such as a hat or handbag if bundled. You can often little by little start to strip a pair accessories away or tone down Daring shoes and handbags. Recall, uncomplicated is ideal. Include a couple of killer items that may have you feeling fantastic and getting compliments along how.

8. Really don't be scared to buy in Thrift Shops- I can't show you how a lot of things I've been able to snag there. The real key is to go into a place that is more well-to-do or exclusive. Frequently those with a lot of cash can discard matters speedier for new things such as great sweaters, blazers, handbags, you name it! My very last order there was essentially a list of very hot rollers that retail at $70 that I picked up for $16! I purchased an $80 pair of fantastic brown boots that were hardly ever worn for $6!! I am going to acknowledge, You will need to make a while to sift by way of a number of duds until you find a few keepers, but it is perfectly worth it. Invest in goods that have their first Daring coloration, no fading! Make certain there isn't any holes, or stains. If there is a little spot that's inconspicuous, by all implies grab the product if you can correct it. It's also possible to obtain some pleasurable handbags, belts and jewellery.

nine. Have on clothes that Suit You!r Human body- There is nothing worse than observing an attractive female in pores and skin limited gown pants, breasts hanging out, as well as the visible visual appearance of flab within the waistline or back due to tight clothing. Looking slimmer isn't about donning a lot more equipped clothes, outfits with respiration space and comfort won't only make you glimpse far better but feel better also. Classy Females Do not let everything hold out! If a little something in your wardrobe is just too small but you're keen on it, continue to keep it right up until it does in shape (it's possible utilize it as drive) and obtain some thing new.

10. You don't Need Brand name Names to Appear Excellent- Right now with countless great knock-offs and enjoyment variations to pick from, there isn't a will need to invest $450 on a set of designer sun shades. I have a $17 set of Gucci knocks-offs that I purchased inside the airport, and also have got more compliments on Individuals than a true set of Ralph Lauren shades. Similarly, folks see how well your outfit is place alongside one another more so than they do what brand you are carrying. I see a great deal of rich people today carrying brand identify overkill and they don't glimpse classy, They appear tacky. Never be considered a going for walks billboard for your model title, just be an unique and use what matches you and what you feel great in.

This article was influenced by lots of Gals that I've worked with, spent time with, viewed strolling the streets, and people who have told me they simply just do not have The cash to costume very well. If my mom in her early thirties could gown stylish in K-Mart clothing and get compliments, you are able to as well! You need an goal eye and persistence to search out what seems wonderful on you. So, give your demand card a split and find out how pleasurable it truly is to obtain a handful of items by using a $20 bill!

Which Was More Sizzling: 'Magic Mike Live' or Jenna Dewan Tatum's See-Through Mini Dress?

Sin City got extra decadent on Friday when Jenna Dewan Tatum stepped out for opening night of ‘Magic Mike Live Las Vegas’ in a black, long-sleeved mesh mini dress. The dress fit the dancer/actress like a second skin, while strategically placed panels were the only things preventing the star from being totally stripped down.

The revealing frock is from designer Julien Macdonald’s fall 2017 collection, which premiered at Macdonald’s Autumn/Winter ’17 show at Goldsmiths Hall during London Fashion Week. At the show, model Winnie Harlow also walked a floor-length version of the dress down the runway. Macdonald, whose aesthetic includes many sheer, structured looks, has dressed many other celebrities, including Beyonce, Gisele Bundchen, and Gwen Stefani.

Dewan Tatum accessorized with delicate strappy sandals and a few rings and wore her dark brown, shoulder-length tresses loose and tousled. Her eyes were outlined in smoky black to complement her smoldering look. The beauty’s best accessory, though, was her strong, ultra-toned physique, which the 36-year-old mom attributes to 25 years of dancing, Pilates workouts, clean eating, and copious amount of crunches.

Leading up the event, she teased the racy number on Snapchat in a series of videos featuring her equally smoldering husband, Channing Tatum, who created and co-directed the show. It’s based on his 2012 film, ‘Magic Mike,’ which in turn in based on Tatum’s real-life experience as a male stripper, prior to his fame.

Of course, Tatum dressed to impress, too. The actor, also 36, who met his wife in 2005 when both starred in the film Step Up, donned a dapper maroon suit to his red carpet debut. The well-tailored outfit included a matching lace-up brogues, a button-down vest, and playful patterned tie. The pair looked perfect together, but that’s nothing new.

The Tatums have heated up many a red carpet during their decade-plus-long relationship. Some of their most sizzling moments include the 2015 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, where Tatum sported a classic tux while Dewan Tatum dropped jaws in a couture Zuhair Murad gown with a halter neck and thigh-high slit, and the Los Angeles premiere of Tatum’s film The Hateful Eight, directed by Quentin Tarantino, where Dewan Tatum rocked a sheer, structured Marchesa gown from the label’s spring 2016 collection and her husband looked handsome in a blue suit.

While the Tatums looked impeccable at the premiere, they were joined by a series of sizzling celebs who gave them a run for their single dollar bills. Actress Jillian Bell arrived in black cigarette pants and a black-and-white striped crop top, which she paired with sparkling silver pumps. Cody Horn let her own toned stems take center stage in peacock blue velvet hot pants and a matching blazer, while Emmanuelle Chriqui showed up in a slinky black gown with an ultra-plunging neckline that she adorned with layers of delicate necklaces.

It's. About. To. Go. Down. Tonight. @magicmikelive #wearpants

A post shared by Channing Tatum (@channingtatum) on Apr 21, 2017 at 2:25pm PDT

Tatum was pumped to promote his latest endeavor, posting a behind-the-scenes shot of the show’s stars in their male-stripper personas to Instagram and writing, “It’s. About. To. Go. Down. Tonight. @magicmikelive.” According to its official website, “The show will recreate the mythical Club Domina as a cabaret nightclub space inside the Hard Rock Hotel that is being fully redesigned to capture the magnetism of the Magic Mike franchise.”

Magic Mike Live — “a sizzling 360 degree dance and acrobatic strip tease” choreographed by the franchise’s own Alison Faulk and starring 13 chiseled performers — will take residence in Vegas’ famed Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. It will take place twice a day, with an “early show” at 7:30pm and a “late show” at 10pm.

Sending my love to this family you see here. There's no amount of thank you's that could cover the gratitude I have for their faith and hard work. We did the damn thang!! #MagicMikeLive #MenOfMML #LELOmagic

A post shared by Channing Tatum (@channingtatum) on Apr 22, 2017 at 7:01pm PDT

There’s no amount of thank you’s that could cover the gratitude I have for their faith and hard work. We did the damn thing!!”.

A Comprehensive Review Every New NBA 'City' Uniform

The biggest NBA news of the day is that Baron Davis and Laura Dern are dating, but the second biggest news is that Nike Released their designs for every NBA team’s “City” alternate jersey, which are jerseys inspired by cities or some shit. I looked at them and wrote about them, like a normal sports blogger does.

GOOD:

CHICAGO:

It’s the flag, and it’s a nice flag everyone is very fond of. I am worried about players spilling chocolate on their unis, though. That would be very embarrassing, I think, to walk around with a big ol’ chocolate stain on your nice white uniform. High risk, high reward play, here.

PACERS:

It has a checkered flag, like a race car. I like race cars. I like that they go vroom vroom very fast.

CLIPPERS:

Look I don’t know what the fuck is has to do with boats, or why the team is wearing Miami Dolphins colors, but teal is an NBA power color and you have to respect any team that dons it.

BUCKS:

Eggshell tones baby! Perfect for the river-yacht or a chilly, fire-lit library, with a tasteful stripe down the middle to bring it all together. This is the midwestern thinking man’s alternate jersey. Also they say “CREAM CITY” on the bottom, which is where I live, work and play, spiritually.

MAGIC:

If you don’t like these, you need to smoke more weed. One time I was EXTREMELY blitzed off THC drops at the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, and I spent like ten minutes in the gift shop, looking at the t-shirts they were selling. I thought the drawing was really nice and for a hot second I thought, damn I need one of these motherfuckers REAL bad but then my good brain, not my stoned brain, kicked in and way like “Hey Corbin, man, you’re probably too stoned to make this purchase, this shirt isn’t that nice dude.” Anyway, if I was still using, and I encountered this jersey in that state, I would HAVE to buy the Bismack Biyombo manifestation of this jersey, just spend whatever obscene amounts of money was requested of me, and regret the purchase in a very true and real way while also savoring my stoned wisdom in that time. This jersey rules.

SPURS:

I get that, as a left leaning-dude, I’m expected to hate black and white Spurs-branded digi-camo. But by making the camo black and white, it goes BEYOND a tribute-to-the-troops and turns a bunch of dudes who plays a game for a living into members of a private mercenary gang that kills its enemies with hoops. Watching capital inadvertently debase the world spanning military colossus that keeps it in power is kinda funny, I think it’s good.

SIXERS:

EXTRAORDINARILY classy font! Finally, the play of Joel Embiid is being recognized for what it is: a luxury product, grander than any wine, any gold topped chocolate bon bon, any gentle scented oil, rubbed into your back by the world’s strongest and most skilled masseuse.

ROCKETS:

At first glance, it’s maybe a little weird that the Rockets have Chinese writing on a jersey that is meant to celebrate the city of Houston, a city where most people speak English. But, clearly, this is the harbinger of the future for the franchise, which is going to move to Beijing as soon as possible. What’s my source? THAT’s my source buddy! BEIJING ROCKETS 2018-19, DON’T TRY TO HIDE FROM IT!

UTAH:

Evokes the 70s, cocaine. Maravich belongs in this jersey.

KINGS:

The Basketball is a Lion King. He will stand above all other balls and roar, and the other balls will bow at his might until, one day, he is killed by another basketball, his brother who is also a basketball. His son, a basketball as well, will get revenge and take his place on the mountain, though.

BROOKLYN:

It’s a Nets Jersey. It’s black and white and it looks nice. Not everything needs to shatter molds.

MIAMI:

I wanna make a joke, but what, I’m made of stone?

KNICKS:

I like firefighters and no one can say otherwise.

BAD:

CELTICS:

You guys aren’t gonna believe this, but the Celtics have a boring looking alternate jersey to compliment their boring looking regular jersey. Features grey. More on that later. We are living in the wildest possible times.

LAKERS:

Kobe Bryant designed these. They’re supposed to look like snakes, because Kobe branded himself as a snake. Kobe spending his retirement trying a bunch of sports-adjacent shit he’s not good at and getting deferrence because he is Kobe Bryant, The Player Who Scored A Lot, is maybe the most embarrassing shit I’ve ever seen a professional athlete do. It would be less embarrassing if he was posting videos where people pissed in his mouth or making sly pro-Trump allusions to reporters or taking 125th place in Scrabble tournaments.

CAVS:

It is, I think, truly stunning how terrible these things are. They are, first, off, grey. You know, grey? The color of cloudy days and paved over fields? The color that only looks good on dads, while they swing hammers or pick up their children, or whatever? And then, the only color that REALLY compliments grey, which is yellow. You know. Like a paved road, that thing everyone thinks has a cool color? I mean who can blame Nike, I suppose, when LeBron James, the world’s most famous athlete, is the human being who is your most prominent non-Jordan pitchman, you gotta put him in the ugliest shit imaginable

OKC:

Honestly, It’s impressive how awful these are, soup-to-nuts. No one who made this had even one good idea they put into the final product. Every OKC jersey is bad, of course, on account of the team’s very existence being born from the poison seed of theft from Seattle, but… Gradients!? GRADIENTS!? A grey-to-grey-gradient? Why, on God’s green earth, is Nike fucking so hard with Grey, a color, not even a color, a SHADE, that has inspired exactly no people, ever? They like grey so much that they put TWO DIFFERENT KINDS of grey in this piece of garbage, and subtly mixed the two greys so that there would be nearly infinite manifestations of grey betweens the main greys. This jersey is seeking the limits of grey itself, the deepest grey, the grey at the edge of our understanding of grey.

WASHINGTON:

All the chocolate staining potential of the Chicago jersey, none of the evocative shit. These are maybe, low key, the worst one.

ATLANTA:

This evokes bees, not Hawks. Would someone please put feather texturing on these jerseys, like the world has been demanding all these years.

DETROIT:

These say “Motor City” but do not feature any pictures of cars, which I love because, like I said earlier, they are fast and they make loud noises. The move here was an updated version of the mid 90’s Grant-Hill vroom vroom firehorse, but Nike isn’t listening to good sense!

GOD ONLY KNOWS:

WOLVES:

Look, I’ve talked a lot of shit on Grey, which is Nike’s favorite color right now I guess, but I can accept it here. Minny winters are insanely grey, wolves are grey, this all makes thematic sense. But also: good god grey is ugly. Don’t wear grey!

MAVERICKS:

These are bad but they’re like so bad that I think they almost fly around the moon and become good again? They are a bad uniform that lives somewhere out of time, a look that has never been cool in any era, but in that fact I think they gain a kind of integrity. There’s a possibility that, someday, in 2067 or some shit, these will have been regarded at an innovative step forward in jersey aesthetics, even if we think they’re hideous now. Cop them and freeze dry to sell in the future.

WARRIORS:

That shade of yellow is hideous but the logo is cool? “The Bay” is some real San Francisco bullshit though, one of those subtle org-wide attempts to separate the team from Oakland before they strip the city of the team and move them to rich-ass tech boi SF in a few years.

MEMPHIS:

Honestly I feel weird writing snarky, mildly absurdist jokes about a jersey that is based on signs from a famous workers rights struggle. While I guess I respect Grizzlies celebrating a monumental protest with their unis, the fact that they were designed and manufactured by Nike, a company with a workers rights record that is spotty at best, goes a long way to defanging the allusion. Capitalism: it’s everywhere and it’s amoral!

SUNS:

EXTREMELY PURPLE. Purple is my favorite color and I honestly admire how purple these are, while also wondering… how purple is too purple?

PELICANS:

These are also Purple.

BLAZERS:

Every other Portland fan hates these things, which makes sense because they live in the world capital of streetwear snobbery. I think they’re fine. The plaid is totally unnecessary. If I was making these bad boys, I think I would stick a fat-ass salmon on there, personally. I also think that the mascot should be replaced with a salmon.

HORNETS:

I don’t even know, man. If it were up to me, I would make them play in a white jersey with a fat-ass picture of Michael Jordan’s smiling face on the front, and anything else will just seem incomplete to me.

RAPTORS:

Finally a uniform that tells sports fans: “Hey: my face is up here. I know my body is chugging away down here, but the soul is in the face, and that’s where a person’s TRUE MEANING can be found. Geeze louise.”

NUGGETS:

Nice shade of blue. Fun stripes. Otherwise: whatever.

Okay I did it, this is every uniform. Back to tracking down every last piece of information I can collect and Baron + Laura. Where do they like to go to dinner, you think?
