Selena's Holiday Wishlist.
It’s that time of year again, but it’s a little different. Fewer parties, less mingling, but that doesn’t mean we can’t brighten our spirits.
I’ve had a very fortunate year and have met some amazing people as well as deepen my connections with others. I’m so grateful for all of you and I look forward to our future escapades in the rapidly changing world.
A few inquiries have crossed my way as to what exactly I’m desiring this winter and while I may be a bottomless pit of desires, these are a few items that have been living in my head rent-free for the past few months.
For Ambiance
Some of you may know that I adore and idolize the goddess Dita Von Teese. Her first book, Burlesque and the Art of Tease, really helped me begin my journey to love myself. I’ve met her several times (she’s absolutely lovely, inside and out) but I would to have her signature scent wafting over my boudoir.

For Elegance
During my first visit to Paris, I strolled around a neighborhood quite close to my hotel and found the delightful Pigalle, seedy and full of sex shops and strip clubs the Maison Ernest shop stuck out; it was an elegant oasis and quit the haven for a shoe fetishist such as myself. Earlier this year they released the Jasmine and goodness if this is not the shoe I was looking for! In a 37 please.

For Flamboyance
I know a lot of you haven’t heard me shut up about this hat, so indulge me. In 56 cm please.

For Deviance
I can’t believe I have gone this long in my adulthood without a pair of sex knee high, high heel boots. Boot fetishists know that nothing compares to the raw sexuality of the designs of Christian Louboutin. The devil is in the details and boy, does he get every detail down to the angles and, shades, textures, DOWN. Size 37, please.

For Immaculance
No waxing poetic about this, it’s just functional and necessary. Also, I know it’s not a real word but you get the picture.

For Reconnaissance
I’ve been pushing myself to read more lately so I’d be ever so grateful for print subscriptions to either (or both) of these publications.

I also love gifts of index funds or anything from my Amazon wishlist.
Thank you so much… I don’t expect anything, you do spoil me so much already. Wishing you all a safe and delightful holiday season,
🖤
