There’s something about boarding a plane that makes us fall a little in love — with the journey, the people, the idea that anything could happen before you land.
The Dirty Martini girl doesn’t just travel — she drifts, deliberately and dramatically, through duty free, through conversations with strangers, through international drama.
To celebrate the launch of our velvet Dirty Martini bikini, we’ve curated the ultimate guide for all our airborne angels. Whether you're heading to a rooftop pool in New York or simply manifesting an upgrade at Gate 17, these are the things you pack when you’re flying first class in flirtation and velvet.
- The Velvet Dirty Martini Bikini: This bikini doesn’t get packed. It gets placed — carefully folded and neatly tucked inside its Matchbox, slipped into your tote-bag… waiting to impress someone on the other side.
- Noise-Cancelling Headphones: Plug in. Tune out. Queue up The Dirty Martini Playlist (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1TLysd65VIqcL7DgYJCQfu?si=cfe2898e3f42402b) — curated for soft scandal, twilight turbulence, and in-flight flirtations.
- Mini Dirty Martini Kit: Tiny vodka bottle. Olive brine. A single olive wrapped in tissue like a gem. Ask the flight attendant for ice and say it’s for “a personal emergency.” Stir and sip with confidence.
- Something that makes you look mysterious: Could be a vintage copy of Lolita. Could be your own diary. Could be a Matchbox Bikini newspaper. Just make sure when you open it, the person next to you thinks: “Who is she?”
- A Camera (that’s not your phone): You need to capture the moment you touch down, step into arrivals, and pretend you're being photographed by paparazzi. Film only. Flash optional.
- Face Mist and Fake Confidence: Hydration is key. So is walking like you know exactly where you're going, even if you don’t. Spritz your face, toss your hair, and make your way to baggage claim like you own the airline.
- A Scandalous Backstory (Just In Case): You never know where the moment might take you. You need options. That means: a silky scarf to double as a top or blindfold and a flirtatious lie about where you’re headed.
Wherever you’re going this summer — make sure you board with a little velvet, a little mystery, and at least one saved seat for trouble.
With love (and olives),
