ashington Street's neoteric Sex &… signals the arrival of a new breed of stores. Designed specifically with the shopping needs of women in mind, the 6000 square foot interior has 11 boutiques, offering everything from clothing, lingerie, and jewelry to pet accessories and evening gowns.

Shoppers wishing to enter the Sex &… boutique must pay an annual membership fee or be invited by a member, Free Mason-style. Though this sounds like a veiled rip-off, 99% of membership fees are donated to women's charities - feel better? The high-end boutiques proffer glamorous, hard-to-find brands.

Sex &…'s luxurious interior has an artsy, appropriately fashionable feel, infused with a hit of sex appeal. The dimmed lighting, excessive mirrors, and Roberto Cavalli crystal chandeliers recreate a sensual, feminine atmosphere.

To comfort shopping wearied ladies, a tea room, complete with teas and pastries, awaits. If you're in need of more TLC, head over to the champagne bar for a shot of bubbly or check out one of the frequent runway shows.

Valet parking is available for private shindigs and VIP members can take advantage of a car service. Also, the "Sex Academy" offers seduction training, pole-dancing/striptease lessons, and other classes to bring out your inner goddess.

If you’re looking for a fresh place to shop, Sex &… pushes the limits of what’s new and hot. If you’re not into pole dancing, grab a glass of champagne and shop like a celebrity. -S.B.
