Plan your date night now, because our Moulin Rouge inspired theme is designed to let your inner vixen roam free. We're talking music, poetry, dancing, fun and lots and lots of naughty sex.
Food and décor
If your budget allows it you should book a night in a hotel. Otherwise, send the kids to grandma's and disconnect the TV, telephone, and doorbell. Decorate your boudoir with feather boas, heaps of red roses and dozens of candles. Have tiny platters with small but decadent eats.

What to wear (for her)
Treat yourself to some serious pampering. Draw a luxurious bath, shave, exfoliate and moisturise. While you're grooming, remember to think why you're doing it. It's all about the antici... pation, love. Dress in your sexiest lingerie (if you don't have anything, now's the perfect time to buy!) – hold-up or suspender stockings, push-up bra, corset/ camisole, sexy panties, high heels, jewelry, perfume. Now slip into your little black dress.
But don't let him see you yet, and definitely don't let on what you're wearing underneath your dress...
(For him)
A man should preferably wear a tuxedo. If you don't own a tux, wear a suit. But not if that's what you usually wear to work! Shave, shower and make sure you smell really, really good. If you're the extravagant type, surprise her by wearing a hat set at a rakish angle. If you don't like the "gentleman" look go bo-ho with open-necked shirts and silk scarves. (Later you can use the scarves for something entirely different…)
Make up
Think over the top. The trick is in the heavy eyes and rosy pout. If you have long hair, pin it up so you can let it down later. Remember – it's all about the anticipation and the tease… If you have short hair, you might want to go all the way and wear a wig. It makes you feel like a completely different person.
Activities
After you've enjoyed a glass of champagne and a few delectable morsels of food (if you don't feel like making some of the lovely recipes above, oysters, fresh berries and chocolate will do) it's time for your striptease! If you're not a paragon of body confidence, just strip down to your sexy underwear (see, there was a reason for all that grooming earlier.)
If there's no force on earth that'll get you naked and gyrating, then leave it to the professionals. Take your lover to a strip club for an erotic experience. You'd be surprised how much fun it is. After all, that's what the Moulin Rouge was all about!
