Next Up -- JARDIN

This is the name of Portland's newest lingerie shop. Since opening in August of this year, Jardin is already making a name for itself in the adult industry. I had a chance to talk with the owner of the shop, Jazmen, and she told me that what makes Jardin different is that "we have a laid back atmosphere that enables the gentlemen to hang out with the ladies before their show begins." She says that "both the management and the models want all clients to have a very memorable experience." If you haven't been there yet, you're in for a surprise!!! Soon as you walk in, this shop makes you feel as if you're somewhere in Europe. Its Italian slate tiles, the baby grand piano and the artwork all make for a very intimate setting. Jardin also has some of the largest show rooms that I've ever seen in a lingerie shop. Jazmen informed me that they have a lot of monthly specials going on, so make sure you check them out. The shop is located at 5427 SE 72 Ave. For more info, give them a call at (503) 777-1365. I wish lots of success to all the models and the management of Jardin. I'll see you at my New Year's Eve Party. Much love!!!
