Relationships......What Ever Will Be, Will Be!

How Does the Future Look for YOU in a Relationship?

If you've ever wanted motivation to work on your semi-serious dating relationship, here's some: Experts say that people who are able to sustain lasting relationships before they marry stay married longer and are more likely to be married for life than those whose pre-marital relationships don't last very long. I guess what I am saying is that by working on current issues that you may have in the relationship, it may smooth your path for a fine future with your partner......

I say it all the time......foundation,......build it from the ground up whether it be in business, or pleasure...be honest and up front, communication is 90% of a relationship and if that fails, you are screwed my friend! Relationships aren't always easy. In the beginning, the level of passion and excitement you feel for the other person drowns out the things that aren't so desirable. You want them realllllllll bad! You are so excited about being around him that you quickly forget about his annoying humming, thumb tapping, or picking crumbs out of the kitchen table cracks. Don't talk politics....never been a good thing to do, and why do it? Unless that political is in bed with you both, he or she matter 0% in your sexual life. Sure we should agree on many things but my grandmother always use to tell me "Shelly, don't talk politics or religion with a partner (business or pleasure partner) unless you want to possibly see fireworks of some sort...there you have a 50/50 shot that they will either side with you or hate your beliefs.

With all relationships, the new eventually wears off and what didn't bother you before becomes a major annoyance or issue. Statistics show change is due to the ever increasing intimacy between the two of you. The more you are around each other, the more the "little things" began bothering you. You are picking, that's what you're doing. Are you trying to sabotage your relationship from the get go? I do...I am guilty as charged! This isn't all bad. It means that you care. Yes- you care about yourself to "not" want to get hurt. When something on the tube annoys you, you simply turn the channel because you have no commitment or intimacy to the channel or the person annoying you on the screen. But when you have even small levels of commitment and intimacy you have greater potential to become disturbed by some of the other person's actions because they are a major part of your life. I see it this way....you either work to make something good happen or you say Que Sera Sera!

Things to consider and what to expect:

I'm telling you all this so that you can expect annoyances and issues to make your relationship less effortless and natural than it was in its beginning. That's not time to quit. Not only does a human being deserve more from you (and you from another), but you need to "practice" the commitment levels that will be necessary in a marriage. If you end the relationship and break it off at the first sign of conflict you have hurt youself in two ways:

1. You might have married this person if you had weathered the difficult days and come out even closer to each other than before the trouble began.

2. You didn't allow yourself to learn how to function in a relationship that was experiencing difficulty. When you marry, there will be times of difficulty, arguments, hurt feelings, annoying habits and anger. If you canceled a pre-marriage relationship because it wasn't all "smooth sailing," it will be much more difficult on you when you actually marry and experience friction. Life sucks sometimes.....deal with it. Relationships come and they go...if its right you'll know it. DON'T enter into a relationship or a marriage if it feels wrong....if you have the "cold feet" get the hell out now! Listen, I am no professional advisor but I have been in a marriage that went south years ago and didn't know how to get out. Nothing is worse than that. Trust me, it will only get worse later! Do you want to live a miserable life with someone you thought you loved or would you rather be with the partner of your dreams that truly took the wind out of your sails out and knew how to totally blow your socks off? I don't know about you, but I like bare feet, and I love wind!

Know When to Fold 'Em

Like the Kenny Rogers song...."The Gambler" you got to know when to Hold'em and certainly know when to Fold'em! I'm certainly not saying that any relationship should be forced. A person can only stand so much before enough becomes enough and you want to tear their eyes out! However, I am saying that one of the best indicators of who will make a "good spouse" might be how he or she reacts to conflict in your dating/courtship relationship. If she can't handle a little conflict before marriage, accept that you've been with others and he or she gets jealous, it will be difficult for her to handle it when you're married, and why would you want to do this? For the status? No thanks!

If anything else, consider conflict as a personal challenge. It's not entirely a reason to call off your relationship, but an opportunity to test your ability to stay committed despite difficult times. Some will handle this better than others. If you notice a constant pattern of conflict, and it doesn't seem to be changing.....it might help you decide against continuing your relationship. The bottom line is, don't give up at the first sign of conflict so that you'll have some experience when it happens in future relationships and so that you don't ditch "Mr. (or Mrs.) Right" because you had a few wrong days. I know all about this, story of my life.....then again, perhaps it was destiny stepping in and telling me that these men were not the ones for me and that my Mr Wonderful was around the corner...the man who was so much like me, liked that same things, laughs at the same stuff and is simple, just as I am....(well almost,...he buys his sunglasses at the dollar store and I buy mine at Jimmy Choo, Neiman Marcus or Sax Fifth Avenue. Regardless of your common interests or your difference, If it is meant to be,..it will be!

Is What You Wear to Bed Sexy?

Honestly.....Looks do matter....especially in nightwear. There is no better way to keep warm in bed and be sexy at the same time than wearing sexy women nightshirts. The main advantage of the nightwear is the comfort that they provide. There are made of soft material that will help to keep you warm during a cold night. The good thing with the night wear is that they are easy to wear. When you want to go to bed, you can easily put it on and enjoy your night. Any time that you want to relax, you can put on the shirt and enjoy some good rest. Women skin is soft and needs good care which is provided by these night wear. Now,....if sexy and alluring, maybe perhaps a bit seductive is the foreplay you are looking to capture.....your partner will want to see skin, but slowly.....you'll want to tease him just a little bit......

If you want your husband/partner to fall in love with you again, then you should go for the sexy women nightshirts. These shirts bring out your feminine qualities in an elegant way. This will make any man want to have a second look at your sleeping attire. The shirts have been made of different designs, colors and sizes. The good thing is that in the market there are different types of night wear available. Thus, you have got a variety to choose from. One can never go wrong with the length of the sleeping attire.

Ladies....another thing men absolutely LOVE is when you wear one of their Polo's, football or baseball jerseys! Yes.....you heard me..last weekend I wore a "Pittsburgh Pirates" button down team jersey to lounge around in and then to bed and believe me when I say...I think it was a big success! I felt comfy and sexy.....and sexy plus confidence is a win/win! One of my favorites is a striped polo button down, over sized for me of course, has a nice soft fit and sometimes it even smells like his cologne. So sexy, and what a super big turn on!

Oh there are many advantages of this sexy women's sleepwear. What to buy? Not sure.....If you want a more feminine look, you can go for the sleepwear that is long sleeved and has been provided with collar. I also like wearing a mans long sleeve Polo style button down......Some of the sleep wear has become much more feminine appearance as they have been provided with lace trims, bows and flowers. They require low maintenance as they have got a durable fabric. We carry a variety of robes, teddies, baby dolls and sexy sleepwear at Simply Delicious Lingerie, but if your just looking to sport 100% sexy........the polo or jersey is the way to go!!

Does Size Matter?

Men really love their penises....Yes, soooo true! From the time he is born, a man's penis becomes his best friend . He will love it, fondle it, get mad at it(especially when it stops working), respect it, listen to its opinion, and get in trouble for it. Men are obsessed with their penises, most often they don't realize it. Most men live in constant fear that their manhood is not big enough. What they don't realize is that a recent study, involving some 500 men of all shapes, races, and sizes, concluded that the average size penis is 5.5 inches. Your thoughts? Mine were........hmmmmm, could it be just right? So what exactly is the size of an average penis. What's that sound?....... It's men all over the world breathing a sigh of relief. Now that this revelation has surfaced, let's get down to business.
Let me tell you what I discovered..........

it's what you do with it

How many times were you made fun of because your penis looked "shrunk"? Were you one of those guys who wouldn't shower after gym class because of embarrassment? You don't have to worry. Women don't care. they love the chase and the way you work it. Who says size matters? So at some point we all think that it does, ohhhh on the contrary.....A few months ago I was speaking with a friend who told me about one of her encounters with this wonderful lover. She described what they did in detail, and all this time I was wondering how big is this horse that my friend is sexing? Well guess what? He wasn't hung like a horse. As a matter of fact, he was more like a pony. This guy may not have had a big penis, but he certainly knew how to use his magic wand to please her and make her want him.

Women who feel that they aren't pretty or sexy enough because they have small breasts are like men who think that having big penises make them more manly and better lovers. The truth is that these men lack self-esteem and their self-worth is placed into their penises. Sure any woman would like to have a big thick bar to play with. It's like guys who are obsessed with super big boobs.

Women simply don't care about size. There will be the odd ones who say it is very important, but they are usually the ones who love aggressive sex. For women, penises are marvelous toys, and no matter what they look like, they will excite women. Women do talk about their men's penises...often. But most of the time, the focus isn't on size; we focus more on what you did with it. In all honestly, we will spend more time talking about whether you wash yourself and smell good, rather than what it looks like. Honestly, it isn't about the size, it's how well you can use the tool. If a man knows how to "work it" nothing else matters.....lets talk about this and elaborate a little bit more, shall we?

quality over quantity

Being bigger doesn't hurt, but is it really important, when it comes down to having an intense lovemaking session with your partner(s)? In a recent poll taken among women, 82% agree that the quality of sex is much more important than quantity . In fact, many well hung men are known to be lousy lovers. First of all, if women feel comfortable with who you are, they will overlook penis size. If you are able to stimulate her with your personality , you need to do the same with your penis. Whether a penis is 4,6, or 8 inches, if used properly, it can satisfy her and give her an evening of passion and lust.
Most women say......"I like the way you work it"

Sexy Appeal......Going on a Man Hunt?

So what is sexy? How do we define sexiness? Is there a difference between the two?..... How do they differ from sex appeal?

Sexy: sexually suggestive or stimulating; erotic.Sexiness is defined as: sexually suggestive or stimulating; erotic...ok...let's define sex appeal: 1 - personal appeal or physical attractiveness especially for members of the opposite sex.Most women know that men are visual creatures and have sex on the brain. By the way, contrary to popular belief, they don't really think about sex every 7 seconds,..but quite close indeed. A recently conducted survey found that 54 percent of men think about sex several times a day.

These stats are interesting, but not important because all men need to know is this: women don't think about - or want - sex as much we do. What would be interesting to note (and what I'd pay money to find out) is how often do women think about their own sex appeal? Probably just as much - if not more - as men think about sex.While men want sex (in general), women want to know that they are sexually appealing (in particular) to the man of their choice. While single, their sexiness gives them an advantage in attracting men in the singles marketplace over their competition. The sexiest girl in the club is often the one who gets the most attention, but her true sex appeal is not readily known.

More primitive men think of a woman's sex appeal in terms of who they'd most like to have sex with. That form of sex appeal lacks distinction and discrimination. It's also biological. Men are not hormonally wired for monogamy. Selection conflicts with that process. Our criteria is mind-numbingly simple. Women are simple and not so high maintenance as men think we are.Contrary to what men think, women (even those who are promiscuous) are selective (at least more selective than men). So what does all of this mean?...

All this means she must be highly selective in her choice of partners. Her criteria thus are aimed at getting the best possible male. He has to be sexy, and a stud. Brains and muscles, smart as a whip and must love being spontaneous and seeks adventure.

We can be selfish, yes. We search for the one to satisfy our every need......We're going on a man hunt....you should too! Find sexy, desirable, alluring and even a little flamboyant! Seek excitement and thrill.....you only live once!

Families...Are We Hurting or Helping our Children?

Through family we find ourselves as we give and receive support, making one another laugh, and holding one another up in times of despair. Family is important, however some of us are closer and have values that many don't know of, or maybe only dream of having. No one can predict what a family will entail. I truly believe that it is all in how we are raised. I have values that were instilled in myself that I was fortunate enough to pass on to my two children. I had 6 wonderful role models. My parents and two sets of grand parents that loved me like nothing I ever imagined possible. I was raised to first respect myself and secondly to respect others. We had rules and chores. Today....life has changed and kids are not all as polite as we were and they are lazy. Many don't appreciate what their parents do for them at all.

Why? Well, parents are too busy to take the time to give their kids the love and show them warmth. Today the day care raises too many children and material possessions and high paying salaries are what are most important to couples, or at least several of them. If you want to live high on the hog and let others raise your kids, why have them? What message does this send? I see kids being neglected, getting into trouble and sitting in front of a television for far too long with an X-Box or some other game for hours on end. Kids are overweight more today than in my era. When I grew up, you didn't see overweight kids, there were no bullies (maybe a few) and parents did family things together with their kids.We took family vacations and I saw almost every state of the 50 in the USA. My father worked two jobs so that my mother could stay home and raise 3 children. We had to work for what we had, our parents gave us an allowance. Today kids get more in allowance money than I spend each week for groceries. Hello? What is wrong with this picture?

We were raised that if you wanted something "you" had to work hard for it, Nothing in life was free. My father used to always tell us that all the time. I didn't see how differently things were until my daughter was in college in a sorority and I would go to visit her. Going into her sophomore year she was elected as a new members director and she had to live in in the sorority house. She was on the go all the time and taking buses and getting rides to various places. I purchased a new vehicle and gave her my Jeep Cherokee Laredo. I thought it looked pretty classy, and she was thrilled...until I pulled in next to the Hummers, BMWs, Mercedes Benz, Lexus, etc. What in the world happened? These kids were handed everything......will they learn how to do anything on their own if mommy and daddy pave their way through life? My guess is no, at least not for most. Sad, these are the kids that will lean on mom and dad for years to come not knowing how to take care of themselves, expecting their parents to "fix things" for them. I respect all parents who try....but honestly,....you're hurting them, not helping them. When I got a good report card, I got a free hamburger at McDonald's for doing so well, kids today get big gifts and trips. Oh to be young again? I wouldn't trade my childhood days growing up on Nottingham for anything. Life was simple. I took a ride down memory lane last night after going out for ice cream and everything came pouring back....the love, my parents, grandparents, and the bonds that were formed in our house. I needed that,....sometimes we forget the smaller things in life until we have families of our own. I will forever love and respect my parents.

Family brings out the best and worst in each of us. As we yield to and serve others we learn to love them and ourselves in the process. Many of us could never approach this form of selflessness in any other way. There is something about a mother or a father, a son or a daughter. There is a connection there that binds us and asks more of us then we are normally willing to give. When we are true to ourselves and follow our feelings and share openly and honestly with our loved ones we remember why family is important. And we are well rewarded for our sacrifice as it enables us to better appreciate who we are.

Our families hold the keys to understanding and appreciating ourselves. Who can relate better to us then our own brother or sister that shared so many experiences with us? Who can love us more selflessly then our own mother or father who sacrificed daily for so many years to raise us? The better we understand our parents and siblings the better we understand ourselves. This understanding is most completely achieved as we look to our family's heritage with the help of our oldest living relatives. By discovering the customs, practices and traditions of our ancestors we uncover truths about our parents and ourselves. We find out how our grandparents treated our parents and so on from generation to generation. We discover the ambitions and fears of our forefathers along with their failures and triumphs. Yes we learn many lessons....some good, some not so good. In the process of learning our family history we uncover our past, understand our present and shape our future.

Family is important because we are important and we need a group of loyal supporters. It matters what we think and feel and nobody cares more about us than the members of our families - at least, that's how it should be and it starts with us. The better we are to our spouses, children, parents or siblings etc. the more they will want to be better to us. When we can count on each other and lean on each other then family works. If we waltz in on family when it's good for us and run out when it's bad for us then we're not doing our part and will not find fulfillment there or elsewhere. Family does really matter....perhaps you were not a close family,....I can't imagine that or how it must be for many people.

Love is the easiest gift to give....start spreading it. Love is free, from the heart, and something that cannot be bought or paid for. Next time your kid says they need a new car or a vacation with their friends or college tuition paid for give them a hug, a smack on the ass and tell them to get a job. They will thank you some day. Mine did. Tough Love? Now that's a different story....Sometimes being a parent isn't easy....neither is being awakened in the middle of the night to bail your child out of jail for something stupid that they did either....chances are, they aren't worried too much because they know mom and dad will come to the rescue like they always do.

When you give give give, you aren't teaching your children anything at all...you are hurting them. Let them learn and make mistakes on their own. You can't baby them forever.

I am fortunate enough to have raised two really great kids who like many were spoiled at times and it was our fault as parents. I admit it, and take responsibility. Although I gave my children whatever I could, being a single mother they also saw the struggling that occurred and financial burdens that I had to deal with and they never lost sight of reality. I suppose that over time I lost sight of the important things trying to keep up with the neighbors and family....the good news is.....and what I learned in the end though was that we were all suffering and we didn't need the crap! The material things were just that....."material things" or "stuff."

Guess what? Stuff doesn't tuck us in at night and "stuff" has no feelings. I taught my kids value. They learned the value of a dollar, how to clip coupons, wait for clearance sales, and buy one get one free was all we knew. Divorces are not good, but for us, we were the "triple three" the Musketeers and we survived! Our experience?.......it was an eye opener. I am grateful for the past 13 years and although I suffered through cancer and other painful experiences, all of them combined made me a better woman, a stronger woman, and I am proud to say that I am independent, can stand on my own two feet, am caring, giving and I love my family!

Get in tune with "your" family....they are the only one you've got! Take the time,....make the time! What you do today are the memories that your children will pass on to theirs.

Did someone say "Jimmy Choo?"

Someone asked me once if I bought my shoes at Target and I just about died.,...not that there is anything at all wrong with Target, in fact I shop there for everything....but the shoes that kept my feet so supportive, those that shined with elegance and comfort could have bought and paid for about 25 pair of shoes at Target vs what I had on my feet that fit like a glove......my Jimmy Choo's! I'm sorry, you can say what you want....but we women are fashionistas! Some women love handbags like myself, or sunglasses so I have Prada, Dior, Kate Spade and my favorites Jimmy Choo Rocks glasses. I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!

This is going to sound terrible to some of you, but I'd rather go without food for a month than not be able to treat myself to a little impulse or splurge on something for "Me" ...which I very rarely do! Having been a single mother of two that attended private high schools and college, along with sending them to study abroad, I learned to not ask for things. I always made sure that I got the kids what they needed....those were my priorities first and foremost. Being their mother was an important job and their needs always seemed to come before my own. I am a very giving person. The kids are grown now, and I have my businesses that I work extremely hard for, so now, finally I feel that I deserve the good life, or at least a taste of it.

So many people ask, who is Jimmy Choo? This should be a name everyone knows, but few do unless you know fashion. Having two kids who shop these exclusive stores, one of them being a fashion major, knows names, quality and styles.
If you don't know who Jimmy is allow me to elaborate for a moment and give you a quickie briefing. Jimmy Choo was born in 1961 in Malaysia to a family of shoemakers and wasted no time getting his career started: He reportedly made his first pair of shoes at the age of 11. The painstaking methods Choo used to create the shoes meant their availability was extremely limited. That changed when Mellon approached Choo in 1996 with the idea of mass-marketing fashionable, high-quality footwear for women. In 1997, the two opened the first Jimmy Choo boutique in London and began selling ready-to-wear women's shoes that were designed by Choo and produced at factories in Italy.

Choo himself, who sold his stake in the company in 2001, continues to handcraft shoes in London under the Jimmy Choo Couture label. In 2003, Queen Elizabeth II made him an officer of the Order of the British Empire. As of 2007, Jimmy Choo has more than 60 retail stores worldwide. The shoes are also available online and in department stores such as Neiman Marcus in the U.S. and Harrods in Great Britain, though certain styles are exclusive to Jimmy Choo boutiques. I am exclusive to Jimmy! I prefer the sunglasses over the shoes....I'm not a big shoe person, some women are. It's just hard to imagine that there are those who have no clue who/what Jimmy Choos is? Get with the program sisters! Next time you are out and about....window shop at a store that carries these shoes....you'll fall in love like I did! Find a Jimmy Choo store like I did....mine happened to be in the Houston Texas Galleria Mall.

Plus Size Woman Find Comfort at Simply Luscious Lingerie

Fashion's Invisible Woman

Even as Americans get larger, designers and retailers cling to the idea that style comes in one size: small.

The Los Angeles Times posted an article in 2009 that stated the facts about the plus size category. It was shocking to me. Department stores, mall retailers and designer boutiques all cater to his physique -- even when it's saddled with love handles, a sagging chest or a moderate paunch. In menswear, shlubby is accommodated.

But the average U.S. woman, who's 162.9 pounds and wears a size 14, is treated like an anomaly by apparel brands and retailers -- who seem to assume that no one over size 10 follows fashion's capricious trends. Why? This is so wrong, on so many levels.

Americans are getting larger, and 62% of females are already categorized as overweight. But the relationship between the fashion industry and fuller-figure women is at a standoff, marked by suspicion, prejudice and low expectations on both sides. The fear of fat is so ingrained in designers and retailers that even among those who've successfully tapped the market, talking plus-size often feels taboo. The fraught relationship between fashion and plus-size is far from new, but seems particularly confounding in a time when retailers are pulling out all the stops to bring in business. Unfortunately the plus size gals get pushed to the back and you get stuck with the average few things on a rack that are available to purchase. Is this permissible ladies? I think not.

No No No....changes are coming soon, and I am going to make it happen come hell or high water!

Carrying a range of sizes that includes the average female would seem like a good place to start.
Plus-size has been a challenge for the industry for decades....says who? When women do find lingerie, its so costly that you wonder what it's made of? Not at Simply Luscious Lingerie.... Welcome home ladies!

My question is "Why?" Why should women who don't fit the 100 pounds, size 0-4 feel left out and why do industries make it so difficult for these women to buy sensual alluring pieces? Shame on you! Because of this, women in this demographic have learned to make fashion not a priority." The longing for style is strong, but the hopes of finding it are low, and shopping is less fun than frustrating."

Welcome to Simply Luscious Lingerie, the soon to be plus size lingerie shop and sister company to Simply Delicious Lingerie arrives this fall and we are determined to make it everything you've wanted ladies and then some! Now is your chance,.....make your comments and PLEASE tell me what it is that you seek/desire that you aren't finding elsewhere....We'll specialize in sizes from full figure to plus size 1X-4X. I'm not doing this for me, I'm doing it for all of you. Had it not been for my girlfriends whom several are actually plus size women, I might not have researched and focused so much on this field. I am so very glad that they voiced their opinions!

Thank you so much Dee, Michelle, Suzanne, Tina, Cindy, Sweeney, and everyone else that pushed me to take my dreams to the next level! My intentions are to launch this new web site in early fall. I appreciate your advice, and your friendship, especially the caring that you put into helping me find just what it was that women not only wanted, but needed.

Welcome to all whom don't know me but hopefully you'll take the time to get to know me. I am the woman who actually "listens" to what you want, not the woman who does what she thinks will work best. Stay tuned......I am so excited to take this to the next level!! I look forward to making Simply Luscious Lingerie quite successful!

Addicted to Love? Identify It!

Like all drugs, however, that love high can make us do crazy things. You all have a
friend who impulsively flew off to some far away place to marry a guy/woman they barely knew because he was under the influence of love. Does that last? Spur of the moment? I say, yes....if it is truly love then it will last as long as you continue to connect and communicate. Otherwise, it will have been a trip that you'll regret in the not so far off future.

When we are in lust, or in the process of falling in love, we tend to overlook so many negative things about that person because so much feels right. We actively throw away any bad data that could ruin our high. We ignore what’s right in front of us. We do! I've done it...haven't you? If you’ve made poor choices because you’ve let a love high influence you, you’re not alone. You already know that relationships entered into hastily, based upon the love high, never last. They can’t. Once you come down from that high, you’ll have to scale the Mt. Rushmore of data that you threw out. And trust me, it’s steep.Whether you’re in love right now or you’re out there looking to answer the age-old question “ are they the one?” the most important thing you need to know is yourself. The best way to figure out if someone is “the one” is to sort through the women/men who are clearly not right for you.

What do you want, and need? Make a list...., once you will have a much better sense of what you
need in a relationship, and whether that love high you’re feeling is real or based primarily on lust. We often make mistakes entering into relationships because we are not aware of our needs. We tend to get caught up in the moment and to overlook the things that are most important to us. Take it slow....why the urgency to rush into anything? My grandmother used to always say that good things come to those who wait.
I waited a long time, and then one day when I was least expecting it....it happened. I found someone who was so much like myself in so many ways that it almost scared me, actually, it does scare me,
...nevertheless, I refuse to not put my best foot forward and give this a shot....I owe it to myself to find happiness, and I hope that happiness finds me in return. You should do the same.

So the next time you are with somebody and you start to wonder if he/she is the one, check your list! Make sure that the person possesses the qualities you’re seeking in a partner. If you’re missing a core ingredient, the relationship will never work out. If you consult your list, you won’t find yourself in a relationship with a person who is like a best friend but with whom the sex is so bad you can’t take it anymore, and you won’t be in a relationship where the sex is fantastic, but the woman isn’t emotionally stable and doesn’t make you feel comfortable. Do some soul searching to know exactly what you need. If you’re in a relationship, see if the woman/man you’re seeing fulfills your criteria. You can only get what you desire if you’re able to identify it. Is it love, or is it lust?

Internet Dating

Why Internet dating? I encourage it! I say; "Why the hell not?" It's easier, hassle free, and fun! There is something about posting a profile and photo and waiting for return mail that gets a gal all fired up! Trust me, I have tried out several dating sites, for reasons considered to be of business. Yes, I researched them all, or as many as I could. I went from free dating sites, to paid monthly memberships to sugar daddy sites....even looked into "seeking arrangements" sites. Why? I didn't want to feel tied down and wanted "no strings"...it was that simple. Wrong? No....why would it be? Isn't it better to try things out and realize that you don't like them vs. getting involved with someone and then realize you jumped in too soon with both feel and now you're stuck in quick sand? On line dating, long distance dating, it's all the same........because we spend a majority of our time communicating via the computer, IM's, emails, Web Cams...

Long distance relationships and dating is good and it occurs when two people live far apart from each other and are unable to see each other but on holidays, weekends, or on vacation. Says who? It might be that you live two blocks away and you don't even know it.....we get busy in life, and sad as it is, we just don't have time to go out and do everything we want to do anymore....so then, how do we find a good partner?

For many, long distance dating can be very difficult for relationships if the people want to be together more often. Some people enjoy long distance relationships because it gives them the time apart from each other
to fully appreciate each other when they are able to be together. I used to always say, "keep him at arms length" ...then you won't get sick of him in a hurry.....and you'll miss him a little and really look forward to seeing him again next time!

Some long-distance dating may not last a long because they are too difficult or one of the people in the relationship may end up moving closer so they can be together.When couples experience long distance dating they are usually able to see each other on the weekends if the distance isn’t too far apart.
If the couple is too far away to be able to see each other on the weekends then they will use their vacation time from work and see each other on the holidays. Whenever they can get the time available they will see each other.Many people take advantage of airline miles and earn free tickets to fly and see their significant other when they are long-distance dating. It's fun actually flying here and there,...but yes, after time it gets to where you are worn out. What then? Well...couples are able to communicate by phone, email, and other methods, but they can only see each other when one of them are capable of traveling. Long-distance dating can be difficult for some people if they find they want to see more of the other person and the distance is just too far.

However, it can be good for a relationship to have the time apart because when they do see each other the two are extremely happy to be together and they don’t take each other’s time for granted. On line dating allows us to test the waters and do multiple dating....who needs to know right? Be careful,...it may back fire on you! take it from a woman who has had experience in that department. Lesson learned!

When I first divorced several years ago, Internet dating was just getting started. I remember my mother telling me not to even consider Internet dating as she had heard stories that were back turn outs and she didn't want me to become another statistic! Silly parents....some truth to that though. My advice; be careful, if your gut says something doesn't feel right, then it's not right! Take it slow, not fast.......nothing good ever came out of speed dating other than a one night stand or a lot of miscommunication.

Rule #1, and if you can't follow this....don't waste someones time, that's not nice.....
Be nice, be honest....no one likes to get their hopes up about a person because his profile was "on fire" and his photo was over the top....trust me again here....you know how that saying goes; "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is!" Why on earth do men and women post photos from 10-20 years ago? Do they think we'll see that same person when we do finally meet? Are they afraid to show that they have aged? I don't know about you but I met a man once who had the perfect bio. He had his shit together....or did he? He as a player all right, and a terrible one at that. Lies up the ying yang....stories that only a pro could make up and I saw through it all....luckily I had lots of experience from my past and from the research I started a few years back for my own person venture.....A thought came to mind while all of this was going on;

Note, I don't discourage Internet dating, or speed dating...actually it's changed so much over the years that now, if I really wanted to meet a man, I might consider it. I think people deserve to be happy and share their time together. Had it not been for the Internet now, Face Book for me actually....I might not have met/or been reacquainted with someone that was from my past years ago....thanks to the Internet, I saved him from Internet dating,...and meeting the "wrong woman".....now hopefully he is happy just being with me? Relationships are fun and exciting and not to be taken for granted.

These are the beginnings of what can be a fairy tale come true or your "happy ever after" so gals, think long and hard before you "just settle" for someone......you have the world at your fingertips....take advantage of it. Never in a million years did I dream that fate would lead me back to where my life began; in a small town where the population is 45,000 having left a state that I resided in and where the population was 4.3 million. Big change....why the move? I missed home, and my path led me back here. Follow your heart....you get these feelings for a reason....don't toss them aside, you could be throwing out the best thing that ever happened to you!
Do the dating thing,....who knows you may just find your prince. You may have to kiss a lot of toads....but in the end, it might have turned out to be well worth the wait!

Vertical- The Pole Dancers Magazine!

Another Pole Dancing Magazine Hits The Stands

Paige Warthen, President at Vertical Productions LLC is allowing Simply Delicious Lingerie the opportunity to advertise with her spectacular new magazine! I am thrilled to participate. As we share with Paige a variety of our products to review we hope to see growth in our business amongst viewers, friends, and family. We are thrilled to join together and assist Paige in growing her business! We at Simply Delicious Lingerie are looking forward to the grand re-opening of our web site on July 15th and are confident that this new web site will be everything that you had hoped it would be. Thank You once again, and "Best Wishes" to you and your staff Paige!

Many people ask? What is pole dancing? .......Pole dance is a performing art form that combines dance and gymnastics. Although pole dance is often seen in strip clubs, it is also regarded by many as a form of exercise. Pole dance requires dancers to have tremendous strength, endurance and flexibility. Intense pole dancing increases muscle strength and tone as it uses the body as resistance, and can be used as either an aerobic or anaerobic workout.
Pole dance involves performing dance and gymnastics moves with a vertical pole. Dance poles are usually hollow steel or brass and reach from the floor to the ceiling. A pole dancer often uses the pole to perform moves such as climbs, spins, and back bends.
Although pole dancing is associated mostly with women, men are beginning to realize some of the benefits of pole dancing. Pole dance classes and competitions are becoming more and more common.

Dodai Stewart —In November of last year, the premiere issue of Pole Spin magazine arrived, and, as far as we could tell, it was the only magazine dedicated to The International Pole Dance Fitness & Lifestyle. But now! Meet Vertical, a new bimonthly publication about the "sport and performance of pole."

Vertical's first issue is online, in inside you'll find stories like "How The Pole Saved My Life"; a fashion-y pole shoot inspired by Black Swan and a piece from a male pole dancer, who writes:

"What Cirque show are you in?" That is the number one question I get when I tell people I'm a pole artist. As a male pole performer in Las Vegas people automatically assume that I perform in one of the Cirque du Soleil productions. Luckily I've never been asked if I was a stripper.

Does the world need two magazines dedicated to pole dancing? Are there enough advertisers to keep these mags afloat? Will people finally start to get the message that pole fitness does not involve stripping? Stay tuned.

Handcuffs & Heels

Recently I was asked, what do couples like to do to tease and please? What is simple and erotic along with playful? Two words…Handcuffs and heels; Who doesn’t love this paired duo? Any man or woman who says they don't....stop reading here, please...I beg of you! These are two of the sexiest and most sensual ways to show your him that you are sassy spunky, and seductive. The easiest way to lure your partner into the bedroom, is with these sweet treats! Tonight…why don’t you be the temptress?

Know the do's and don'ts of these two and how to use them in a combined effort and get ready to explore a number of playful possibilities.

Handcuffs

Handcuffs are one of the most popular adult sex toys to find their way into the bedroom boudoir. No matter how far back in human history you go, you will find references to holding down or tying up a lover's wrists to enhance sexual excitement and increase orgasmic potential. Although they are a fixture of bondage fantasies, handcuffs have become so popular that they are no longer reserved for the wild and kinky hedonist; creative couples routinely use them to introduce some variety in the bedroom. The widespread use of handcuffs has led to a huge market in wrist-restraints that give you the sensation of erotic bondage without risking the discomfort of wearing metal in bed. Of course, there are those who adore the rigid confinement of metal-they may opt for heavy toys, such as forged fetters or police-grade cuffs. But adult toy merchants have perceived that the sensual taste for tying up a lover's wrists is simply too common not to bring new changes to old equipment and appeal to a broader market. You can purchase padded leather wrist-cuffs and even satin restraints with velcro closures for harmless fantasy play. One note of advice: avoid the cheap metal "joke" handcuffs: they are poorly designed for intimate situations. At Simply Delicious Lingerie, we sell a variety of adult toys and novelties.

Heels

Though many of us love high heels, many women choose not to wear them very often. Some are intimidated by high heels, while others have just never had the occasion to wear high heels. High heel shoes continue to go up in height, but have you noticed that as people lose their homes and jobs, that women are wearing more heels that are higher than ever? Sexy, glamorous, expensive – Oh YES, indeed they are. Click your heels together and say there's no play like home.... Now get frisky and entice a little foreplay. At Simply Delicious Lingerie, we have everything to suit your needs.....stop by and visit our online boutique! Let us assist you in feeling and looking your best, feeling your sexiest and exploring your possibilities......

According to an article I read recently, it stated that since the 1930’s, it has been easy to predict economic disasters based on the types of high heel shoes that women wear…and thanks to the styles, they may have predicted our most recent recession.

What does high heels have to do with financial nightmares? Well, according to article, cheaper but taller heels, help the wearer to feel less depressed during this so called recession we are in.

Is there anything that high heel shoes can’t do? Men look at heels as sex appeal on women....yes our feet might hurt like hell, but suck it up gals, you're about to set a new record for keeping a mans interest in tact.

Either way, when a "high heel occasion" rears its ugly head, many will stay home with their trusted friend, the sneaker. If fear is keeping you out of the high heels you covet, set your phobias aside! Walking in high heels is not that difficult, and with a bit of practice, you'll be stepping out in high heels in no time.
