These ten fashionistas show off their sexy looks from Date Night to Late Night.
Valentine’s Day can mean a lot of things to a lot of folks. For some, they joke that it is Singles' Awareness Day. Many now celebrate feminine bonds and friendship with Galentine’s Day. For others, it’s a celebration of romantic love. Even then, sometimes it’s just the day before the killer chocolate sales start on February 15.
What you might not know is that the holiday has some seriously bizarre roots. Romanticized in the middle ages by Shakespeare and Chaucer, the original Valentine’s Day was a Roman pagan fertility celebration called Lupercalia. Lupercalia was rather bloody and strange: the men would sacrifice a goat and a dog and Roman women would line up to be whipped with the carcasses as part of a fertility ritual. Beyond that, for the feast of Lupercalia, there was a drawing in which men and women would be matched up and have sex for the rest of the festival.
Like most other western holidays, Lupercalia was rebranded as a Christian celebration in an attempt to erase its past and paint it more chastely. When the holiday eventually became confused and combined with the Norman tradition of Galatin’s Day, which translated to “lover of women” and was celebrated around the same time, our modern ideas of love, sex, and greeting cards began to form.
Whether this year is a celebration of romantic, platonic, or self-love, getting whipped with leather or being caressed by lace, Valentine’s Day often brings us some beautifully romantic looks and incredibly sexy lingerie. From sexy black lace to red, the color most often associated with passion, or the flush of a demure pink and beyond, these ten fashionistas show off their sexy looks from Date Night to Late Night.
