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.
Halloween costumes have been traditionally modeled after supernatural figures such as monsters, ghosts, skeletons, witches, and devils. Over time, the costumes started to expand to include popular characters from fiction and celebrities. Now we have beautiful sexy costumes to taunt and flaunt your assets.
Dressing up in costumes became popular for Halloween parties in the US in the early 20th century and was and still is as popular for adults as it is for children. The first mass-produced Halloween costumes appeared in stores in the 1930s when trick or treating was becoming popular in the United States.
Halloween costume parties generally fall on, or around, October 31st, often falling on the Friday or Saturday prior to Halloween.
Mythical Monsters
When it comes to Halloween you can’t forget about the mythical ghouls and monsters, especially the ones that can’t be proven that they do not exist. That is where a cryptozoologist (someone who studies creatures whose existence has yet to be proved) comes in. Want to go looking for these creatures? Well, you might not have to go far, they may be closer to home than you think……New Jersey, Florida, the Rockies to name a few places.
A flying monster with bat wings, sharp claws with the head of a horse. Legend has it that the Jersey Devil is the cursed 13th child to be born to a woman known as Mother Leeds who transformed into a hideous beast shortly after birth and fled into the forest. Sighting continue to this day. The Jersey Devil is alleged to have been roaming the pine barrens and towns of Southern New Jersey since the 18th century.
Skunk Apes are hairy creatures that stand between 5-8 feet tall and smell of bad body odor and rotten eggs. They are said to inhabit the swamps and forests of Southeast Florida, especially in Everglades National Park. According to cryptozoologists, you can lure a Skunk Ape with dried lima beans!
Big Foot or Sasquatch is a 7-10 foot man-ape covered in hair (not fur) that has been described as brown, red, and black with only the face being exposed without much hair. They allegedly possess extraordinary physical strength and agility and communicate with one another by banging rocks or sticks together along with blood-curdling screams.
They have been part of Native American folklore for centuries. Bigfoot encounters have been reported in every state with the exception of Hawaii. The mountainous western areas of the United States and Canada are the best regions to go looking for this big hairy and scary creature.
Some say the el Chupacbra is a dog-like creature and others depict it as an upright human/reptile hybrid with large red eyes and quill-like spines running along it’s back. It is said to hop like a kangaroo on steroids.
El Chupacbra was first reported in Puerto Rico in 1995 when eight dead sheep were found, all drained of blood from puncture wounds in their chests. Sightings along with brutal animal slayings have spread to other countries as well such as Mexico and the Dominican Republic.
So, as you dress up the Halloween, whether it be in a sexy witch costume or a colorful clown costumeand head out to your Halloween party, think about those scary monsters and ghouls that might be lurking in the shadows.
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!

Why just exercise when you can "PARTY" and exercise at the same time. Zumba is moving millions of people toward joy and good health in a fun way.
What is zumba? Zumba is a Latin-inspired dance-fitness program that blends red-hot international music, and contagious steps to form a "fitness-party" that is downright addictive and so much fun to do.
Zumba classes feature exotic rhythms set to high-energy Latin and international beats. Before you know it, you are getting fit and your energy levels are soaring! There’s no other fitness class like a Zumba Fitness-Party. It’s easy to do, effective and totally exhilarating.
Zumba was created by Alberto "Beto" Perez back in the 90's quite by accident when he used a mix of music he grew up with from his home in Cali, Colombia at one of his arobic clasesses and the class loved the mix of Salsa and merengue music. It took off and is now a national exericse sensation.

First of all you are probably wondering what the heck is a Baster Baby. Baster kids or a Baster pregnancy is a child or pregnancy produced through artificial insemination from donor sperm bought from a Sperm Bank.
Today’s women are focusing more on their careers and making their life dreams such as traveling to exotic places, that they are putting off settling down. Having children is still an very important factor in their lives, especially when the clock starts ticking and there is not a steady man in their lives. People also have developed a more flexible view of what the idea of a “family” is.
Children are being raised more and more by unmarried couples whether it be gay couples or single parents. With a large number of us having witnessed our parents go through a nasty divorce or had absentee fathers, the intact nuclear family is not the ideal model anymore. Single motherhood is a fast growing trend.
So, how do you get pregnant without a man? The answer is artificial insemination via a Sperm Bank. You can buy the sperm online and have it shipped right to your door or doctor’s office. Visiting these Sperm Banks is kind of like online dating, only you are looking for your baby’s father. Each donor has a profile that reveals his age, ethnicity, health history that goes back a few generations, their education, occupation, astrological signs, and if they wish to be contacted when the child turns 18 or if they never want their identity revealed. Once you decide on which donor you want, you place your order and have it shipped to your home or doctor’s office. You can inseminate yourself when you are ovulating via a plastic syringe or have your doctor do it for you.
Keep in mind that many women don’t get pregnant the first time, so you may have do this procedure a few times before you get results. The price per vile of sperm varies between $200 – $600 depending on things such as education. PhDs can be more expensive than a donor that just has a bachelor’s degree. But, you can have extra sperm stored for later use if you want your child to have a sibling.
Another thing to keep in mind is that your child will have multiple half sisters or bothers out there. You will not be the only person to buy sperm from this donor. Since the purchasing information is kept confidential, you will never know. There are Sibling Registries where people can sign up to try and connect with siblings who are open to meeting.
It is very important to buy from a Sperm bank that is registered with the FDA and is licensed by state health departments or you may not be getting what you think. There have been reports of employees at some facilities supplementing the donor sperm with their own and women giving birth to a baby that is not the ethnicity they chose. So chose your facility wisely.
