Ladurée Macaron Store Paris

/2 Comments/in /by

 

Ladurée is probably the most famous of all the macaron stores in the world, and the trademark for the most luxurious delights on the market. It was first created in 1862 and has been going strong ever since, recently made popular by films such as Marie Antoinette and luxury blogs on tumblr. Any cat girl should visit Ladurée at least once in her life! The most famous of the stores is it’s home in Paris. Did you know the original store actually burnt down and was painstakingly recrafted only a few years ago? It sits along the famous Champs-Elysees, though there are also stores in locations such as soho London and Harrods.

 

Below I will show you exterior and interior shots of the Paris location, enjoy!

Il Ballo Del Doge – The most glamorous Venetian Carnival party in the world

 

Il Ballo del Doge is the most famous ball in Venice, if not one of the most famous balls in the world. Want to meet a Prince? This is the place to do it! Imagine being taken on a gondola ride across the Venice canals in a long gown to a beautiful Venetian palace for a decadent evening of dancing,  food and performances. The venue is full of the most beautiful people and costumes, and the tickets are pricey but well worth it, it is the most popular ball during the Venetian Carnival in February. 

 

VENICE, ITALY – MARCH 05: A woman carries a candles holder at Palazzo Pisani Moretta during the annual Ballo del Doge on March 5, 2011 in Venice, Italy. The Ballo del Doge, created by fashion and costume designer Antonia Sautter, is considered the most elegant and exclusive masquerade ball during the Venice Carnival.

In the enchanting world of the French Quarter sits a little art gallery on Royal street known as “Tresor” Home to famous artists such as Kevin Thayer and Tim Burton. The Chateau was recently lucky enough to be invited to visit while staying in New Orleans, and the following article is an outline in pictures of the gallery and the guest visit.

Skylark was lucky enough to be the Muse of one of Kevin Thayer’s latest portraits.

Sucre Macaron Store Review

/2 Comments/in /by

Oh for the love of Macarons..

Of course we all love Ladurée, but Sucre holds a special place in the cat girl’s heart close behind!

There is no doubt that macarons have found their way heavily into kittenplay culture recently. Sucre is a chain of Macaron stores based in New Orleans, Louisiana. There are currently three boutique stores open in their chain and one champagne bar. Today we are going to focus on the location closest to Royal street.

They always have cute displays outside their windows!

Not to mention a multitude of flavors, even including more recently “Absinthe” Which I think is pretty unique as even Laduree does not have an Absinthe flavored macaron currently. My second favourite flavor would have to be the chocolate dipped with 24k gold leaf on top!

Sucre' display; CEO visit to the home of Sue Ellen CanizaroSucre also has a soft spot for champagne, much like the kittens of the chateau. they suggest Perrier Jouet as the perfect champagne pairing. And best of all, their location near Royal street in the french quarter has a champagne bar upstairs!

Pictured above is the champagne bar that is upstairs from Sucre macaron store. Finally as Sucre is located in the beautiful town of New Orleans, so of course it has it’s very own Mardi gras themed macarons! Aren’t they cute!?

September Kitten Gear Review – PinchtheMuse

/in /by

September Kitten gear spotlight.

PinchtheMuse has always been a favorite store of The Chateau on etsy for sometime. A strong leader in the market they provide sturdy leather kitten collars in a variety of designs suitable for heavy play. They were also the first company to incorporate themed or animal shaped bells. Their collars range in price from $20-$58. Despite the higher end price tag they are well worth it, especially for the sets that include both collar and matching wrist cuffs with bells. They also more recently have started offering metal collar options.

What Chateau girls will you see in this gear? Both Skylark and Lilith Serpentine own PinchtheMuse collars.

If you want to purchase a PinchtheMuse collar you can find their store here.

Skylark had her birthday last night, it was hosted at a wild west ghost town, complete with murder mystery and costumes! There was burlesque and live performance, everyone was required to be in costume dating to the 1800 wild west. There was even a complete saloon with champagne being served and Birthday cake, they also had photoshoots throughout the night with a professional photographer. Thanks to everyone who came it was such a fun night we will definitely be doing it again next year!
