When packing for an Island vaction or cruise, keep it light and easy. Bathing suits, Shorts, t-shirts, slacks, casual skirts, blouses and sundresses are all perfect during the day, whether indoors or out. A nicelittle black dress for night or two out on the town is also a must have. Keep your shoes comfortable and simple.
For lounging by the pool, pack two bathing suits (an extra suit in case the other is wet) and a pair of casual shoes such as sandels or flip flops. You'll also need a cover-up or sarong for getting to and from the pool areas. There are some great swim dresses that can be both aswimsuitand a casual dress for strolling around a boat or along a boardwalk.
And of course you can't forget to pack thelingerie!
The new tattooed Barbie doll with her trendy leopard leggings, pink bob hair style, stylish Goth inspired tee, and some beautiful permanent tattoos on her chest and neck has some parents in an uproar. This newest Barbie is not going over well with many parents on both sides of the issue, being a role model or being free to express oneself.
Tattoo Barbie Doll
I for one think parents are going overboard on this issue. Tattooing has been around for eons and in the last decade has fast become a beautiful art form. I agree that some people do go overboard with tattooing their bodies, but that is their choice.
There are some very beautiful tattoo artists out there that never cease to amaze me with the awesome inking that they do on all parts of the body creating masterpieces of art.
Look around Mom…….almost everyone you see has a tattoo now a days and I wouldn’t doubt if half the moms that are complaining about this edgy doll have a tattoo themselves.
Your seven year old isn’t going to run out and get a tattoo because her Barbie doll has one. She will have to wait until she is of legal age to get one and by then who knows what the new trendy style will be.
The doll reflectes modern fashion and pop culture.
Just look at Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry or Rihanna, these pop stars have tattoos and wear wigs and crazy clothes all the time. This is pop culture the way it really is. Barbie is a toy and is not raising your daughters……..you as a responsible parent are. So lighten up Mom, it’s just a toy doll.
Let’s face it….sex sells, and your smart business people know that. It’s been going on for centuries, businesses using sex appeal to sell their products.
This Lucky Strike Cigarette Ad just oozes sex appeal as does these other vintage advertisements from Ridgid, Coca-Cola and Tyrell.
Today’s society is no different and the businessman or woman is still using sex appeal to sell their products, only things are going further than just sexy posters these days. For Centuries you could find women dressed in lingerie in Saloons, bars, nightclubs, gentleman’s clubs, and exotic dance clubs. But in the last ten years it has been expanding into uncharted territory.
I remember ten years or so ago when bikini clad women were selling hot dogs on the streets with their hot dog carts and making quite a small fortune for themselves, until they became a traffic hazard and many cities put a stop to it.
Now a new wave of Lingerie Clad women are hitting the fast food business…..Baristas!
It’s become quite controversial and some cities are cracking down and putting a stop to it.
Many people feel that it is inappropriate for young women to serve coffee in very little clothing, while others question whether or not this type of coffee shop is violating local ordinances, and hope they will soon be shut down.
Other people when interviewed revealed that they would boycott these coffee shops since some have signs such as “Topless Tuesdays” and “Bottomless Wednesdays”, where customers could receive free refills on their coffee.
However, towns have no right to interfere as long as it is not violating any ordinances, and it definitely attracts customers like crazy.
Sexpresso, located in Las Vegas is by far the sexiest Barista I’ve found yet!
Las Vegas’s first “erotic coffee shop” where drinks are served by lingerie-clad baristas!
The drink sizes and drink names are suggestive too, of course – ordering goes by cup size A, B or DD (20 oz!) You also have Pleasure Cup (cafe mocha) or Porn Star (chocolate covered cherry latte) !
With summer here and the ice cream trucks in full swing, we can’t leave them out in their efforts to jump on the band wagon with lingerie or bikini clad women selling ice cream.
Midtown Manhatten tongues have been wagging about Chrissy (Miss Softee) Michaels, the charming ice cream lady known for dishing good humor while clad in sexy clothing.
But not to be out done…. there is “Billy Gunnz”!
It seems that sex and Twitter sells. At least for soft-serve mobile ice-cream vendor Billy Gunnz.
One of the newest ice cream vendors to hit Twitter, and the Big Apple, is Billy Gunnz who is a midtown Mister Softee vendor, and has started to get quite the reputation for his Tweets, and for sporting a uniform of skin on New York City streets.
He tweets daily specials: “For those who mention the words “midtown Lunch”, and he has no problem flexing and showing off those “gunnz” to all you women and men.
With swimsuit season just around the corner for some, and already here for others, this is the time that everybody is buying new swimsuits. But with so many to choose from and all the different styles out there…..what style is best for you?
One of my favorites is this Tankini which is a two piece that looks like a one piece, but is so much more versatile. They are sexy upscale and trendy and perfect for Every Body type! It is The perfect swimsuit to hang out by the pool with your kids, window shop at the coolest beach front stores, read a book under a canopy or have drinks poolside with your girlfriends! You can Pair it with a sexy mini skirt or shorts and you have the ultimate summertime outfit. This is a must have for your swimwear collection. Many come with a tummy control panel to slim down the waist line.
Monokinis are just the opposite of the Tankini…….more revealing and very sexy. They are like a one piece bikini.
Bikinis come in all different types of bottoms. You can have full coverage or little or no coverage if you choose a thong style bikini. I like the new “banded” waist lines because you roll the waist down for a slim and sexy look, or roll it up when you want more coverage.
Another new style swimsuit on the market this season is the Swim Dress. It is perfect for someone who wants more coverage the usual swimsuit or to use as a Maternity Swimsuit. They are Romantic, sexy and flirty, and will make you feel so beautiful. They are the perfect sun dress to hang out at the pool in or walk along the boardwalk. They are one of the most versatile swimsuits there are and fast becoming one of the most popular ones for cruises and vacation get a ways.
Body painting, or bodypainting, is a beautiful form of body art. Body painting is temporary and is painted onto the human skin with brushes and airbrushes, and lasts for only several hours. There are full body painting and bodypainting that is limited only to the face which is known as face painting. Body painting can be referred to as a temporary tattoo; but large scale or full-body painting is more commonly referred to as body painting, while smaller or more detailed work is generally referred to as temporary tattoos.
As an erotic and very dramatic sexy change, why not surprise your partner with sexy lingerie painted on your beautiful body!
There are Body painting festivals happening annually across the world. Fantasy Fest is Key West, Florida’s version of Mardi Gras, Spring Break and Halloween rolled into one. This Festival allows complete nudity in the streets as long as your nipples and baby maker are covered up.
The World Bodypainting Festival in Seeboden in Austria is the biggest bodypaintng event in the world, and thousands of visitors admire the wonderful work of the participants. Since 1998, the world’s most colourful event has taken place every year in Austria. The “World Bodypainting Festival” is the biggest art event in the bodypainting and tens of thousands of visitors admire the wonderful work of the participants. Aritsts from 40 nations worldwide come to this unique event and put body art into the mountain and lake scenery.
With bikini season just around the corner, many of you may be thinking about waxing instead of shaving. It used to be that hair removal was strictly a female thing, but not anymore. More and more men are opting for the same body waxing grooming rights as women. What's the difference between a Brazilian wax and a bikini wax?
A Bikini waxing, removes only the hair that is visible around the bikini line. TheBrazilian wax removes hair from the front, back and everything in between…and yes, that means even between the buttocks especially if you wear a thong or g-string bikini. A lot of people like to have a ‘landing strip’ left that can be made into any design you might like, but many people go for everything removed from the area. If you are a wax virgin, I would suggest you try the bikini wax first before trying the more extreme Brazilian.
Waxing hurts. Think of it as having a large Band-Aid ripped off. How much it hurts is largely attributable to an individual’s pain threshold. But, no matter how you look at it, pulling hairs out from the follicle hurts.
The most important step is to find an experienced, well-trained waxer. A gifted professional will make the procedure as quick and painless as possible. They’ll know tricks to keep you comfortable. If they do a lot of waxing they’re also more likely to use better, more expensive products which includes essential oils and buffering ingredients to make waxing faster, easier, safer and more comfortable. Seek referrals from friends who wax, word of mouth is better than picking a number out of a phone book.
Remember, the first waxing is always the most difficult. Consistent waxing of a body area will reduce the amount of hair that grows in that spot and will make remaining hairs easier to remove. Subsequent waxings will get progressively easier and less painful.
Why get a bikini wax or Brazilian wax?
A hairless pubic region is liberating for many women, it is clean and allows skimpy bikinis and swim wear along with sexy lingerie to be worn, without any embarrassment if they have thick or strong pubic hair growth. It is also seen as sensual by both men and women and also helps many women achieve more satisfying sex.
A waxing treatment for each takes around 30 minutes although like a manicure it must be done regularly every 3 – 4 weeks.
Most women and men believe that the pain of going through a body waxing is a small price to pay for a clean, sensuous and bald look.
When it comes to planning your wedding, you put a lot of work into making sure every detail is just perfect for your special day.
You make sure your wedding dress is the perfect fit and style for you, the flowers are fresh and the colors just right to match the rest of the color scheme you planned.
The cake has been ordered and the design and colors debated over for hours on end until it is just perfect in design and flavor.
Every detail is gone over, and over again and again……but one detail many brides over look is what they will be wearing UNDER their wedding dress.
Your weddingday lingerie is just as important as every other detail in your wedding planning.
Not only will there will be a lot of “hand maidens” helping you get dressed that day, but your new husband will be helping you get undressed that night.
Wedding corsets are ideal for wearing under your wedding dress, not only do they slim down your waist line but they will give your “girls” some lift and support.
Besides, not only do they look great, they are SUPER SEXY!!
Every bride needs a sexy garter belt for those beautiful sexy wedding thigh high stockings, and there are so many beautiful lace and satin garter belts to choose from, many with attached panties.
