Although it is not written in any leaflet concerning safe sex or medical booklet about how to avoid sexual transmitted diseases but adult toys are, from one side, an important connecting element between human sexual desires and sexual pleasure and, from the other part, sex devices that are intended to keep you away from any unpleasant infection and, at the same time, giving you everything that you need from the sexual point of view.

Still many people bear in their minds the misleading conceptions about adult sex toys, such as: “Sex toys are for those who can’t find themselves a real partner.” or “Sex toys are for perverts who always think about sex and use anything that has a hole, in males’ case, or look like a phallus, in females’ case.” Well, that’s not quite like you used think. Yes indeed, during the entire history of adult toys industry sex toys were being produced exclusively for sexual pleasure. However, adult industry was never setting a goal to produce adult sex toys for a certain target market like “adult toys for singles”, “sex toys for little perverts” or “adult sex toys for horny grandmas”. More than that, industry of “adult entertainment”, so to say, was always trying to popularize their products among the ordinary people, especially those who have a sexual partner, as an exciting addition to their erotic games.

Los Angeles – What made the huge Hollywood premiere of “Inception” on Tuesday, July 13, different from most? It wasn’t that it was staged at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard; that’s been the spot where movie premieres have happened since 1927. Nor was it having a huge movie star like Leonardo DiCaprio head across the street to the screaming crowd, signing autographs and posing for photos with adoring fans, for that’s been done, too.

No, what set the “Inception” premiere apart was the charity component, for this event wasn’t just about getting all the key players like writer-director Christopher Nolan and his actors, including Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy, Ellen Page, Ken Watanabe, Lukas Haas, Tom Berenger and Dileep Rao, together in one place. It was about staving off climate change, with ticket sales proceeds going to the Alliance for Climate Protection.

Al Gore, the chairman of that organization, and former vice president of the United States, told the filled-to-capacity audience in the theater: “Raising awareness of the climate crisis is our duty; it deserves everything we can do.” (more…)

Lindsay Lohan’s future includes a new fashion line, two new movies, some time in jail and another stint in rehab.

The actress was sentenced Tuesday to 90 days in jail and 90 days in a residential substance-abuse program for violating her probation, stemming from two separate 2007 cases of driving under the influence of cocaine and alcohol. She is to surrender and begin her jail sentence July 20. Rehab will follow.

The punishment levied by Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel will keep Lohan from promoting “Machete,” the Robert Rodriguez action film due in theaters in September. 20th Century Fox, which is releasing the film, had no comment.

Lohan’s jail and rehab sentence will also delay production on “Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story,” in which the 24-year-old actress plays the starring role of the famed porn star. (more…)

A giant golden lion, his burly head standing 45-feet above the audience in Paris’ Grand Palais stood sentry over the latest thoroughly chic floral fantasy couture collection from Chanel, staged with customary aplomb in Paris Tuesday, July 6. And while the lion was mammoth, the collection’s silhouette was lean and, especially for couture, short, with skirts trimmed four-inches above the knee.

The lion’s huge paw perched on a seven-foot cream pearl, out of which strutted three score of ravishing looking models in this show - inspired by tapestries and the colors of strident Fauvist artists - for the house, whose founder, Coco Chanel, had the astrological sign of Leo.

“I had this image in my head of a proud lion, it was one of Coco’s symbols, and I think it worked rather well. Huh?” said Chanel’s couturier Karl Lagerfeld, beneath the mighty golden beast.

Out first on the round catwalk was Natasha Poly, who had already posed in the program photos by Lagerfeld left on each guest’s seat. The Russian model slinked by in a blood orange bouclé wool suit, the jacket flared, the skirt short, the ensemble paired with sensational crinkled half-calf boots in a leather featuring the same color gold as the lion’s.

One thing that folks here in Paris always insist gives haute couture a certain validity is that its ideas and inventions eventually translate into real fashion trends, which millions of women end up wearing without ever realizing from where the initial thought came. If that’s true, and a decade or two attending French couture seasons would suggest it is, then after seeing the latest haute couture collection by Christian Dior we can predict that women will soon be donning hyper floral fabrics in bulb-like shapes, where the overriding message of their look will say fantasy is back in fashion.

Dior’s couturier, Englishman John Galliano, could rightly claim backstage that this fall 2010 collection very much referenced the ideas and obsessions of its founder. Christian Dior was highly successful gardener in his own right, as a visit to his family home in Granville, Normandy, wonderfully attests. But in this show, staged Monday, July 5, in the Rodin Museum in Paris, Galliano took those roots and replanted them in wilder, psychedelic soil, where they sprouted phantasmagorical flowers.

That much was true from the opening looks - a violet mohair coat with lapels in fabric petals, full flounce skirts in puckered chiffon flowers and dresses in shards of silk like dried out leaves. Not that the color scheme was faded, anything but. Iris blue, caellia pinks, blood oranges or chrysanthemum yellows dazzled before the eyes, their hues highlight by the setting. In a cunning move, the show-space walls were transparent, so the backdrop was the verdant green of the museum’s charming garden. (more…)

A French Internet billionaire, a patron of the arts and a flamboyant banker won control of Le Monde newspaper on Monday despite President Nicolas Sarkozy’s bid to stop them.

The trio includes Xavier Niel, 42, an Internet entrepreneur who first made his money from sex chat services and later shook up the French Internet market with cheap connection packages from his provider Free.

With him is Pierre Berge, 79, the rich partner of the late fashion guru Yves Saint-Laurent, and Matthieu Pigasse, 41, a senior figure at investment bank Lazard who owns the alternative news and culture magazine Les Inrockuptibles.

Their bid won the approval of the paper’s supervisory board, 11 of whose members voted for it, a source close to the board told AFP.

Berge, Pigasse and Niel promised to let the paper’s editors maintain full editorial independence and let the journalists’ association keep its right to veto major decisions. (more…)

Androgynous silhouettes and sensible sandals are set to be the must-have looks for next summer, if the first day of Paris’ four-day-long menswear collections Thursday was anything to go by.

Gender-bending looks ruled the spring-summer 2011 catwalk at Jean Paul Gaultier, where strapping models draped in postage-stamp-sized towels lounging in a mock hammam opened a show inspired by the androgynous style of the late French designer Yves Saint Laurent during his years in Marrakech. Post-apocalyptic androgyny — think sleeveless Barbarella vests worn with platform stripper boots — was the name of the game at California-born designer Rick Owens’ somber show.

Emerging French designer Alexis Mabille push the androgynous envelope, sending out models that looked as if they’d just rolled in field of daisies, the dainty white and yellow flowers tangled in their flowing locks and stuck to their abbreviated jumpsuits.

Louis Vuitton, the luxury giant that got its start as a trunk maker, continued to explore the idea of the journey, sending out a travel-ready collection of packable separates with Chinese touches and sensible sandals that were made for walking. Japanese label Issey Miyake also delivered comfortable weekend-away looks, though the official line at the cerebral house was that the cunning Japanese river trout was the inspiration for the collection.

Forget the footie fleece or even the business tie - the hottest fashion in menswear this winter is the man scarf.

Dubbed the marf, the scarves are the menswear staple for blokes wanting fashion with function.

From simply knotted woollens to elaborately-tied cravats, men of all ages are donning the marf to look sexy while keeping warm.

Ash Ali, 29, owns about eight marfs and agrees they are becoming popular.

“I’d normally wear a T-shirt and then use the scarf to flower it up a bit,” Mr Ali said yesterday.

Fellow marf wearer Sam Cochrane said the marf fitted in between the formal and the casual.

“It’s good middle ground if you don’t wear a jacket,” said the 26-year-old from Sydney’s Surry Hills, who owns many.

“You take a chance though - the risk of looking feminine in the way you tie your scarf. I wouldn’t be surprised if guys might put other guys down for wearing it. (more…)

HOLLYWOOD actors Scarlett Johansson, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Denzel Washington walked away with awards while host Sean Hayes drew early applause for his performance at the 2010 Tony Awards.

The stars, all first-time nominees, were recognised for their work on the stage during the star-studded ceremony at New York’s Radio City Music Hall.
