When it comes to depicting sexuality and torment, Egon Schiele remains one of my favourite artists ever. His strong, expressive brushstrokes, the power of his drawing and the intensity of his bold, amazing colours produced quite an impression on me when, at some early stage in my life I had made the thrilling discovery of him. All those striking images, considered by many grotesque, even pornographic, constituted themselves, for the teenager I was back then, into a beautiful, tremendous revelation. This was the storm true passions and their clash was supposed to provoke, the fire haunted, restless, thirsty spirits I imagined would ignite all around them, this was the burning road to one’s self – somehow related, at a rather subliminal level, to the tantric yoga’s “Left-Hand Path”: getting to know the ultimate truth trough decadent, extreme practices supposed to integrate spirituality and sex in their reach for pure consciousness. A first impression which has never left me. And who proved itself persistent and influential to my imaginarium, all the way ’till now, I confess.
For more info on the Austrian expressionist artist you can read one of his biographies here and there are also a large number of online galleries hosting his works, such as this quite complete one or this. I wish you a pleasant and enriching experience in this so very controverted – at its time – world.
Mhmm… Sexy Lingerie
Tuesday, September 9th, 2008 | sex-appeal, style | No Comments
I’ve found this fun photo here, as I was randomly, un-innocently browsing the Internet. As I found myself instantly amused, I couldn’t help remembering all lingerie-discussions I ever had with men and women alike, from the classic “I so like this one”, to the “sexiest color? sexiest cut?”.
“It just won’t matter what I am wearing.”, a close friend of mine once said. “It will always go off so fast, nobody will ever notice”. She was in a long, passionate relationship with an Alpha-man, who was always waaaay too excited to even pay attention to her lace underwear. To him, she was extraordinary and enchanting anyway. Which I consider beautiful and extremely healthy, and I also think each and every woman should find herself a similar place in her boyfriend’s heart. But no, oh no, this does not mean women should give up looking for the perfect turn-on in their underwear closet. There is never such a thing as enough flame, or enough turn-on in a couple’s life, as love is a delicate creature, nurtured out of fire and beauty, and one can never get enough of these ones, right?
Now lets get back to our lace-and-silk subject…
We are not what we wear, but whatever we decide to wear express us, and that goes strongly for the bedroom, too. Actually, when it comes to a lady’s boudoir, the concern should at least equal same lady’s shoes or dresses, because this sweet aesthetic delight is destined to particularly and intensely please only the above mentioned lady and her dearest one, supposedly the most important people in the lady’s life. No gradma panties allowed when it comes to hot, and that goes too for any old, improper piece of underwear. I mean, don’t do this mistake ever, even if you don’t consider yourself a lady and you already have a man that promised to love you and only you no matter what. It’s just horrible. And dangerous in some very, very bad sense. You don’t wanna show yourself like a total mess, do you?
Investments are strongly advised. Even if nobody except you won’t be able to spot the quality of your lingerie, you’ll know and feel confident about it. Confidence is a great weapon and it makes a woman a lot more interesting and attractive. It’s also improving one’s mood, one’s spirit and even one’s health. Confident women are the ones aware of their femininity, and happily expressing it. Confident women rule the world.
So, first of all, make sure you know yourself, and your body, you know what fits you best and what doesn’t. You can try different styles and see what it goes and what it fails, you can even try imitating someone you admire, everything is permitted when you’re struggling to discover yourself. Then, use what you know, and go on expressing. If you’re strong and independent, go for bold colors, if you feel very sexual try transparencies, deep cuts, even leather, if you are more discrete get the lilac and beige pieces, they’ll suit you great, if you love refinement buy lace, if you’re the sensual type choose silk, and so on. Don’t be afraid to explore and don’t be afraid to get creative, you have only two rules to stick to: always go for quality stuff and always remain faithful to yourself. Because it’s something you deserve and owe to yourself.
Personally, I think the sexiest in lingerie is combining ladylike refinement with eye-appealing materials and cuts, and I would forever consider black, burgundy, plum and dark blue as most attractive colors to be worn in bed. But I also believe that a woman is at her best when she is comfortable with who she is and what she’s wearing, so role-playing definitely forbidden: if yellow and simple, sporty style makes you feel like a goddess, go for it. It’s the only way to sexy, and it goes through confidence.
