THESE ARE THE TIMES OF YOUR LIFE~~~

admin | Beneath The Silk - A Column By Lynda | Saturday, 10 May 2008

I just came from a festival downtown where there were hundreds of thousands of people. Our city just opened a 7 mile or better walkway along the waterfront, which is very beautiful and very active, plus, the area for festivals is almost in the center of the walkway. We have festivals almost every weekend all Spring and Summer, plus an air show, the Grand Prix, and other activities. It is a great way to spend the days of the warm season…

One thing I noticed today was how many couples were out and about. From teens to the elderly; some holding hands, some with arms around each other, some stopping for kisses, some eating, some drinking, some dancing, some just hangin’ out. There seemed to be a lot of romance and love in the air, and, it was nice to sit and watch. I love watching people anyway, and such events is a perfect time to take in some good old fashioned expressions of affection and love…

I think it is great that couples go to such places as this walkway, which has many spots to sit, trees, and a few outdoor cafes, music, artists, photographers, vendors, and all sorts of activity going on. There are fountains, flowers, the water, and more; Canada is across the waterway, their downtown is a nice background; on the water are boats, seagulls, tankers, freighters, and other interesting points… . It is indeed, a romantic setting for two who need to spend the day or evening taking in the sights and sounds, take a walk, and just be lovers in love..

When couples go to such a place, they are bonding, for as they walk, they talk, they discuss, they share that around them, they are building memories and they are sharing quality times. I believe every couple should walk together in a nice setting as often as possible, daily if can be, but, at least once a week. It is a healthy way to spend time alone, plus, it can be fun and exciting too…

Quality times are very important in a relationship. It doesn’t matter if you are together all the time, or if you hardly see each other, those special quality times are what make you closer, more secure, and happier, and, a certain appreciation for each other is derived from the time, which makes romance flow more frequently and more naturally…

It doesn’t matter what you are into, some couples are boaters, some are bikers, some coach teams together, some are joggers, some are walkers, some take photos together, some are campers, some are simply happy hangin’ out; you need these times together, they are so important to life, to love, and to romance…

Lots of couples here walk together every evening, there is a 25 mile park here, and it runs through several towns, actually quite a few of them. People will go through the trails and woods, come into a town, grab an ice cream cone or something and walk back, usually about 2-8 miles an evening. Healthy, and stimulating for the body, the senses, the mind, and the spirit. A couple who shares these benefits definitely has more to share in the later hours of the night…

Whatever the two of you are into, make it a habit to do it together, enjoy the times spent, and become closer as friends, lovers and as one. These are the times of your life, make them count, and make them a platform on which to keep the love flowing effortlessly, and the romance sizzling…

PASSION…

admin | Beneath The Silk - A Column By Lynda | Friday, 02 May 2008

Sex or making love? Lust or passion? Can they be the same thing? Of course, within the boundaries of a relationship, yes! With someone new or a one night stand, we pretty much know the answer, although, if it is like meant to be, or love at first sight, then it could still be possible to have all 4…

Sex is sex, but making love is sex personified. Lust is a great motivator, but passion is the euphoric high before, during, and after the fact. Passion, like love, has many facets and is a necessary emotion to have and to develop. Some are more passionate than others, for instance, the Italians, the Greeks, and even some European cultures are very ingrained with the passions of life, love and liberty…

I am very passionate, I have been all of my life, and have embraced its purpose for the long haul. Passion can create problems as well as pleasure, for passions run deep, and often bear the head of temper, though, that is just how it appears, still passionate people are moved to expression very easily and if compelled, it could very well be temper.

Passion is the melody and beat of music, the fine strokes of the painters brush, the flowing words of a writer, the sultry dance of the dancer, and the soft sounds of a lover…

Passion is about feeling, expressing, living. It is the full throttle experience, it is the essence of the experience itself, often felt prior to the experience. Passion is a very deep and winding emotion, which begins at the soul and is not satisfied until it has landed in the depths of another soul. Passion is inflamed with delivery, with purpose, with exactness of the feelings which drive it….

I often wonder what makes some so passionate and others so passive. It seems to me that everyone should possess passion in the highest forms for it is the gifter of all pleasure, the creator of the full experience of life, love, and liberty, indeed…

ARE YOU READY FOR SWIMSUIT SEASON????

admin | Beneath The Silk - A Column By Lynda | Monday, 28 April 2008

I am so happy that the warm weather is here, finally! After the winter which we just endured, it is like, so special to see the sun, the birds, the flowers, the green grass, and other elements of nature in their rebirth! Yes, it is more than welcome, it is appreciated!

This means time for swimsuits! I know that in the beginning of the season this can be a dreadful experience, it is like, Oh no, I am so white, so out of shape, sooooooo exposed! Ha! We have all been there, for sure. Yet, as the season wears on, we are sun kissed, in better shape, and far more confident, and we wear our favorite suits with feminine glory…

Finding that perfect suit is not always easy. Personally, I find that mail order, or ordering online, especially from Girlfriend’s Lingerie is the easiest, least painful experience there is. GFL has one of the finest swimwear collections of any I have seen, being foresighted enough to cater to every body type, personality, and mood of most women. And talk about quality! Wow! Style? Double Wow! So many gorgeous, flattering, sexy, and absolute perfect suits to choose from, so many. There are teeny bikinis, tankinis, and devastating one piece suits to choose from…

Myself, I have to have a lot of suits! I am a beach babe, and suits are like fashion statements to me. I have to have one for like sporty days, one for fun days, one for tanning, or two, one for those sexier, more romantic times, and one which will double as a top with shorts or a skirt. I love swimsuits, though, surely I feel those pangs of insecurity now and again. Ha! My favorite suit of all time was a brown one piece which had spaghetti straps, was cut high on the leg, and had a deep squared back. I wore that suit for so long and it never wore out. I played volleyball, swam with the lifeguards, jogged, walked, body surfed and you name it, that suit was present, and it wore and wore and wore. It was like my signature suit, you could spot it down the beach a few hundred yards and know it was me. Ha! I had my suits for tanning and special other occasions, but, that brown suit suited me perfectly, and to this day, that is my favorite ever. Now I see that Girlfriend’s Lingerie has almost the same suit, so, that will be my first purchase of suits this year. I can’t wait to see if it still thrills me with confidence and fit as did the last one of its kind!

Girlfriend’s Lingerie has SO many suits to choose from, each wonderfully designed, each unique, each exquisite material, color, style, and form, that I cannot make up my mind which other suits I will buy, but, I know that I will probably buy at least 3, for there are just so many which I might never see again, and, I know each will look and feel great!

Many people are apprehensive about buying online or mail order, well, I can tell you from my own personal experience that it is the best way to go. Besides the ease, selection, and other pluses, the fit is almost perfect. I have been ordering clothes, lingerie, suits and more for years, and have only had to return 3 items!

Last year I shopped all over town for a perfect suit for a large family gathering at a golf resort! I could not find anything! Most of the cuts were terrible, the materials were so-so, and the prices were way exaggerated! I had to settle for time ran out, and while the suit I found was gorgeous in the front, the back was hideously stupid, like my Mother or someone would wear; I had no choice, I ran out of time. I had to wear that suit around those 100 people or so, feeling less than attractive, but, I got so burnt in the first few hours playing water basketball, that I could not go out in the sun again for the entire 3 day weekend! Ha! Problem solved. Anyway, I can assure you that if you follow the sizing chart, you will be right on target, and, if you have any questions help is there for the asking…

Take a look, you will be amazed at the wonderful, thoughtful, and sizzling selection of swimwear at GFL. While you are there, take a look at all of the other exquisite stock of lingerie, clothing, and accessories, you will be convinced that this is your one stop lingerie and swimsuit shopping experience…

RELATIONSHIPS GO BEYOND BENEATH THE SILK

admin | Beneath The Silk - A Column By Lynda | Saturday, 19 April 2008

Couples should be sincerely good to each other. There should always be the element of the most honest kindness, through every moment of life. Why wouldn’t you be kind to the one you say you love? I find this very curious. I see couples who are supposedly so in love and one or the other is mean to the other, often without even thinking about their actions… I remember such a relationship with someone, and I always asked him why he was so nice to everyone else, but, when it came to me he was short, harsh, and rude. He told me that he was as nice to me as he was anyone else. Needless to say, our relationship went like the water of a flood..

When we live with someone and profess love, it would only seem right that they are the most important person in our lives, and that they should be held in high esteem. They should be treated as a best friend, a favored companion, a sexy partner. They should not have to bear being treated like an object, or as a possession, or as less than their worth…

This partly happens because people take each other for granted, which is never a good thing. Life is so unpredictable, you just never know what is around the corner, you never know when it will change dramatically, which
might mean that this one person could be all you have left, or even worse, that they might not be around. So, always consider that they ARE imperative to your life, else why are they there???

Love and love making should be an effort by both partners, that it is an ongoing investment in the relationship. It should be maintained, that it is exciting, hot, anticipated, embraced and cherished at all times. It should not live merely beneath the silk, it should over flow into your daily lives. You should each care that your partner is happy, satisfied, and smiling when they think of you, look at you, or touch you. There is no greater reward than to have a thriving, evolving, ever growing relationship with the person who at one time, you swore to love, and said you could not live without…

Kindness, respect, genuine sharing, caring, and consideration for each other at all times leads two to becoming ecstatic in love and life. Success in life, love and growth depends on our home lives to a great degree. Let me put it this way, when all is smooth and happy at home, it is much easier to progress in the world, for your mind, spirit, and body are free of tension, dissention, and wasted negativity.

When we are happy, we are more receptive to life and its elements, when we are more receptive, we are more open, when we are more open, the options before us are limitless. Our love, the one we chose to love, deserves the best of us, in all facets, and at all times. As we develop more and more in love, the successes in our lives multiply, as we compliment each others live more, we are filled with the rewards of having it all, and, as two become one, isn’t that the ultimate expectation of the experience???

INTO THE WORLD OF LINGERIE…

admin | Beneath The Silk - A Column By Lynda | Sunday, 13 April 2008

Lingerie has a world of its own, filled with inviting, intriguing, and interesting designs and styles to enhance our lives, especially our love lives, although, that is not necessarily so, as, I, without or with a partner, still love to wear lingerie. I love the materials, the feel, the softness, the drama, the cut, style, design, and the intent behind lingerie. It makes me feel better all the way around, and, it makes the nights seem much more interesting…

There are so many lingerie manufactures, distributors, companies, stores, and other dealers, that it makes one wonder why there is still some embarrassment or secrecy about the love of lingerie. There are hundreds of thousands of lingerie styles, from soft and sexy to blatant and even violent. Each person has their own idea of what lingerie is, and, each has their own liking when it comes to style and design. Some like very feminine pieces, though many like leather and vinyl. It is one of the most individualist areas of attire ever…

Lingerie companies have expanded beyond lingerie, offering accessories, toys, enhancement products and much more. Each company has its own signature specialty, some cater to career women and men, some to the young, some to the kinky, some to the inhibited, some to role actors/actresses, some to undergarments, and so on, though most carry a bit more than they had originally decided to carry; which is necessary to keep up with the changing public and their tastes…

Lingerie parties, sex toy parties and/or lovers accessory parties, are becoming mainstream. Even some of the most conservative people in the world are attending or holding such parties. Sex sells? Sure it does, but, is that the underlying trend? I think that it is a matter of couples taking the responsibility to keep their relationships fresh and exciting; instead of losing one another to outside fantasies, they are making every effort to keep their passions hot and continuing, which is great news, for many aspects of life, and for the lingerie industry…

From Tupperware parties, to candle parties, and now to adult themed parties, the world has evolved, eh? I was talking to a lady the other day, and discovered that she loves adult themed parties, seems her and her girlfriends have them frequently. I was surprised as I had always viewed her as a huge conservative, but, I was pleased too, for I realized that hey, everyone is getting into the game of keeping romance alive and well, and, that is a good thing indeed…

Where I live, over a quarter of a million women in the past several years have taken stripping lessons from professional strippers, all in hopes of keeping their spouses at home instead of in the clubs. Strip clubs are extremely inhabited here, and, lots of women are at their wits end because of it, and so, one of the radio stations, which started as a sort of joke, got this learn to strip thing going, and wow!, it is so popular; so many women are signed up there is a huge waiting list. Mostly it is to learn pole dancing, but, they learn much more along the way. So, you see, there is effort ongoing to keep love and romance in the boundaries of the home, and, in doing so, there are some valuable lessons being learned, as well as some very pleasantly surprised partners seeing a side of their women which they never knew existed. That is what it is all about, going to the limits to keep love interesting, sensuous, and fulfilled

TIDBITS OF LINGERIE NEWS AND DEVELOPMENTS

admin | Beneath The Silk - A Column By Lynda | Wednesday, 02 April 2008
I thought it would be interesting and fun to check out some of the lingerie industry news, as most consumers are not privy to such information, and, there is always something exciting brewing behind the scenes…

The Wine Rack, which is also known as the Booze Bra, this is because you can fill this sports bra up with a drink of choice…including wine and beer. The Wine Rack is a comfortable sports-style bra, which features a boob-enhancing polyurethane bladder for that extra padding; his can be slipped on under your regular clothes and filled with any beverage you fancy. With a rack like this girls’ nights out will never be the same again. Ha! That will certainly liven up the night or a party, think? Wooooo, check out my booze bra….

Boxers made from bamboo, trunks infused with vitamin C, Y-fronts that boost your bulge and briefs that lift your bottom - these are just some of the new undergarments fueling a boom in the Australian men’s underwear market, now worth $600 million a year. But ask Sean Ashby, founder of one of Australia’s most successful men’s underwear labels, aussieBum, if he’s surprised men are spending more money than ever before on their underwear and he’ll probably laugh in your face. “Surprised? Hell, no,” Ashby says. “They’re looking after their most valuable asset and you can’t put a price on that.” I love to watch a man do a strip tease, and, these will certainly add to the experience. Men are both funny and good at teasing, and, like the man says, they are simply looking to have the same options as the ladies…

What do you suppose the number one selling lingerie item is? Give up? It is bras. That really dumbfounded me, but, I can see it being so. Lots of ladies like bras so much they have one for every outfit, and, then those special ones for nights. I like bras, own quite a few, but, have never really thought of them as lingerie, they are more like an essential, and, while they are sexy, beautifully detailed, and have other attributes, to me, they are more like a prison of the day, and, I can’t wait to take mine off. To me, lingerie is much more exciting than a bra and panties, but hey, to each their own, right??? Bras make up over 59% of all lingerie sales, which fluctuates of course, but, still, that is a lot of bras being purchased…

Then we have this interesting tidbit:

Women may soon be able to self diagnose breast cancer with the help of a smart bra which is being developed by researchers at the Centre for Materials Research and Innovation (CMRI) at the University of Bolton, UK.

I have much more that I could share with you, but, will save some for another time. I hope you have enjoyed this, and, that you found it fun and interesting….

Lingerie is a massive industry, and, for good reason; with lingerie, we are able to go beyond our daily roles. With lingerie, we are freed from being the usual person we are known to be, when, in fact, in everyone lives an actor or actress just hoping to get some light. Lingerie enhances our lives, our romance, and, it releases fantasies, dreams, and visions of the most memorable kind…

IT’S A MAN’S WORLD!?!

admin | Beneath The Silk - A Column By Lynda | Wednesday, 26 March 2008

They say it’s a man’s world, but, if that is the case, why are women so spoiled by men? OK, I will let it rest at that, for men can have the world if they treat me well…

Men are so good to us, for the most part. They can romance us to where we are weak. They gift us more than we do them. They give us their attention, their admiration, their very lives, which they turn over to us once they have decided that we are the one…

Men have their quirks, their idiosyncrasies, and, their faults, no doubt, but, when they love a woman, they are like heroes, they are like gladiators, they are like Saks Fifth Avenue, they are loaded with resources to keep us happy, and, they will continue to do so, as long as we too, find ways to keep them happy, it seems a fair exchange to me…

Our resources work differently than a mans. We only need to provide certain factors for him to be swimming in love. He, on the other hand, strives to keep us in certain ways, such as buying us things, giving us a great place to live, a car, and, other such luxuries, which we might or might not have if he weren’t around, which has no point in this context, for we are discussing how he will find ways to make sure we are happy with him. Men are extremely resourceful at taking care of their women, though, too many women do not see this as is…

True, not all men can provide material luxuries to their women, however, they will in ways which they can. It might be something as simple as a favorite book, a CD, or certain things which he feels will make you happy, and, it might not seem like enough, but, truly, if a man cannot afford to gift you, but, finds small ways to do so, that is all the more endearing, at least to me…

Yes, they get their rewards for being good to us. They are taken care of from morning until night, they are cared for, they are treated like royalty, they have the privilege of seeing us at our best and our worst, they get to experience us in our ravishing lingerie, swimwear, and other sexy attire. They watch us dance, prance, and, come to life as if on the big screen. They enjoy our actions, our scents, our walk, our pouts, our tantrums, and our entire womanhood. Yes, they definitely get their rewards, but, the more they enjoy us, the more they spoil us, so, I have to say, love is a wonderful, wonderful state, and, if people would just realize that all is fair, all is balanced, all is good, in love, there would be less analysis and more adventurous enjoyment between lovers…

Bring it on! Spring and Summer, that is…

admin | Beneath The Silk - A Column By Lynda | Thursday, 20 March 2008

With the warmer months approaching, we will be shedding our winter layers for more and more breezy, silky, mesh, and satiny attire. Since lingerie materials do not cling or bind, they are perfect for hot nights, and, long weekend days…

There are so many styles to choose from; boy short sets, Cami sets, chemises, gowns, bra sets, baby dolls, and teddies, each of which are perfect for one time or another, each of which will enhance and air the heat of the season…

I do not care for constant cool air, instead I often run many fans, ceiling or otherwise, as we are couped up all winter, so, why should we be all of the warm season too? I like to wear floaty materials, or as little as possible, still seeking to be comfortable and sexy, so, lingerie allows me many options for this time of year, that which will make me look and feel like a vision on a Summer night…

We are in better shape in the warmer months, and boast a golden glow from the sun, which only makes lingerie all the more exciting. It is also a time of more energy, which means that we are more apt to activity, be it dancing, partying, or what have you, and, again, lingerie plays an important role in such…

There is nothing better than being hot, taking a refreshing shower, spraying with light body oils, and scents, putting on a wispy piece of lingerie, sitting in a fan cooled room, sipping on a cold beverage, and doing whatever the mood moves us to do. From head to feet we are groomed, for warm months call for this to be a constant, we have gone to lengths to look our best, our hair is sun kissed, our bodies are bronzed, and we are feeling sexy: all which add to the element of dreams coming true…

I have several lighting systems for hot nights, like dance balls, a 4 foot water light, lava lamps and other such, which take the place of hot candles. I like music even more in the Summer months, and, on any night you might find me dancing the night away, having fun, and probably driving my neighbors mad. Something releases in me over the warmer months, and I am much more free, more adventurous, more expressive, and, much more in the mood for fun and romance, and indeed, I take advantage of the whole nine yards…

It is also time for those midnight dips in the pool, and, while most will skinny dip, there is something to be said for beginning with a sexy piece of lingerie, for when wet, it clings just so to the curves, and the water droplets glisten like jewels, creating such perfect imagery for the passionate nature of our partner. Just be sure that the lingerie you wear can handle the chlorine, and the water itself, of course, you could always wear a lingerie inspired swimsuit, some of which are devastatingly sensuous and make every body appear as mirages of the best kind…

Yes, the warmer months are upon us, and I, for one, am so anxious to shed the winter, once and for all; to dive into the excitement of the season, and, to inspire at every point imaginable, for this is what keeps love and relationships alive and bonded. Sharing such times is romantic, stirring, encompassing, and, ever lasting, for the memories will surely be worth the effort, every single time…

SO ARE YOU SEXY???

admin | Beneath The Silk - A Column By Lynda | Thursday, 13 March 2008

Are you sexy? Do you need someone to affirm your sexiness? Are you naturally sexy, or did you develop your sexuality? Do you care if you are sexy? Do you care if others view you as sexy? To what lengths would you go to be perceived as sexy?

Below are the most basic definitions of sexy. I say basic because sexiness is birthed from deep within and when it is developed it becomes more than definition could pay homage to. It takes on a force and life of its own, and, becomes an unconscious part of you, which means that you never have to think about it, it just is…

Arousing erotic desire: desirable.

Suggesting sexuality: sensual, sexual, suggestive, voluptuous.

Of, concerning, or promoting sexual love or desire: amatory, amorous, aphrodisiac, erotic, lascivious, salacious, sexual.Feeling or devoted to sexual love or desire: amative, amorous, concupiscent, erotic, lascivious, lecherous, lewd, libidinous, lustful, lusty, passionate, prurient.

Of the above descriptions of sexy, I am mostly lascivious. I say this because it has been said to me many times, and, while I did not realize what it meant, I can now see that it is true. I never set out to be sexy, I was simply given the advantage of having something within which grew into it. I never tried to develop it, it simply flowed from me. But, to be fair, I have lived a life which has had me surrounded by sexy people and lots of sexuality, so, perhaps, without realizing it, it rubbed off on me, I really don’t know, but, it is a great and empowering part of my character and being which I love…

Sexiness which is outward, is not always sexy. It might look good, but, it is like a thin golden egg shell which will shatter if tossed about, for it is hollow. So many people are outwardly sexy, and, while it serves its purpose, it cannot last for long, and, certainly will only last as long as it looks good…

Being sexy involves your personality, your mind, your heart, your soul, and, an uninhibited sense of adventure. It is knowledge of pleasure, passion, desire, and satisfying. It is knowing when, where, how, what, and why you are sexy, and, how much to be at any given time. Being sexy is a limitless supply of being desirable, enticing, and, mesmerizing without trying, it is a mysterious force, full of power and conviction. It is everything that a lover could expect and more. It is a rapture, it is a vision, it is a glimpse into paradise…

As you age, your sexiness becomes so much a part of you that you don’t know where it ends or begins. It becomes a part of your whole. For women, this is a wonderful thing to look forward to, for, it greatly enhances the aging process, if you allow it to. Sexiness should be looked upon as necessary to life, love, and, relationships. As it grows with time, it will spill over into your personality, and will be recognized by all, no matter if you are mowing the lawn, washing clothes, shopping or whatever, your sexiness will glow off you like the reflection of the moon on the Earth, and that is all good for many reasons…

LINGERIE INSPIRED FASHION FOR THE WARMER MONTHS

admin | Beneath The Silk - A Column By Lynda | Thursday, 06 March 2008

On the fashion front, lots of lingerie inspired clothing is going to be seen almost everywhere. From chemise styled tops and dresses, paired with leggings, to corsets and jeans, even some robe styled sheer blouses paired with pencil skirts, it is looking like a hot sexy Spring and Summer…

And, why not? Women look great in feminine styling, and, when it has the added allure of sexy, it is easy on the eyes…

Many women will feel that this is a fashion trend for the young or more perfect. Nonsense. There is something for every body, I guarantee it. Try some of the different looks on, you will see. The greatest thing about these styles is they enhance, and create curves, plus, they draw the attention from the usual problem areas. You will see…

Many of the seasons swim fashions are also lingerie styled. I have several of them myself, and, actually have chosen such styles for years, for they elongate and enhance the body. Plus, they are different from the usual bikinis. Even tankinis have taken on the lingerie appearance in many different ways…

Looking great and sexy is what it is all about. And, any fashion which is going to make sure that my curves are where they should be, as an eyed delight, I am all for it!  Spring and Summer are my favorite times of the year, and, I definitely play on that with my looks, as much as I can…

There are many options available this warm season, so, find those perfect pieces and wear them with confidence and let your beauty be center stage. You know you want to, and, with all of the offerings, just about anyone can look like she just stepped off the cover of the latest fashion page. Enjoy being the beautiful woman you are, have fun with it. The warm season is so short, and before you know it, you will be layered up again trying to keep from freezing, so, go and grab as much sexy lingerie styled clothes as you can, and, keep the season sizzling…
