A Sexy Lingerie Guide for Men


Show us a man or a woman who says they're not turned on by sexy lingerie and we'll show you a liar. Everyone loves lingerie. Women love to wear it, men love to look at it. Christmas is just around the corner and the next corner after that is Valentine's Day, so it seems like the perfect time to give the guys a primer on lingerie.

One of the beautiful things about the internet is that you can do things with it that you wouldn't otherwise do. Most men wouldn't dream of walking into a lingerie shop, but they can get away with it online. Trust us, if you buy your girlfriend or wife lingerie, they'll love you for it!

If you do this right, the payoff for you can be big. If you do it wrong, the payback can be even bigger. Don't blow it. The most important thing is to do your homework and make absolutely sure that you know her correct bra and dress size. A nice little babydoll out of rayon in the right size is better than a hand-stitched chemise made of gold in the wrong size. It's that important!

Don't be stupid and ask her what size she wears. She'll lie to you anyway. You'll have to do this in secret. Check the size of two or 3 dresses that she wears regularly. If they are all the same, you're safe. Then do the same with a few of her bras. Don't settle for just one of each, because you may pick the one that no longer fits her. Remember, it is vitally important to buy her lingerie in her size.

Now properly educated, you can begin your search. You have to do this discreetly, because if she comes home and sees you looking at lingerie models online, she'll never forgive you. It doesn't matter what your real motivation for doing so is, it's what she thinks that matters and she'll think you're a filthy sleaze, whether you are or not. Jealously can do that to a woman.

After she has opened her gift package and after she has tried it on and gotten the desired response from you, she will be able to laugh about your online lingerie shopping spree. She may even believe you when you tell her how you only thought of her when you saw those sexy models. That's after she has gotten the desired reaction, never before. If she catches you in the act, the only thing she'll be convinced of is that you are a disgusting pervert.

So - go online when you know you have several uninterrupted hours ahead of you. You will need several hours because you must go to several lingerie websites and study the contents thoroughly. In fact, you will probably feel strangely compelled to make an in depth study of lingerie. If you pick a day to do your search when she's at work and you are not, keep an eye on the clock. It's amazing how fast time can fly when you're deep in research.

You're almost home now. Just get that size right and go to the checkout counter. Before you click that final "purchase" button, check the size again, just to be absolutely sure. In a few days, you will find a discreetly wrapped package in the mail. Stash it away carefully, but put her name on the package somewhere. That way, if she accidentally finds it, she won't think it's for someone else!

India launches Tagore 150th anniversary events

India kicked off celebrations on Saturday to mark the 150th anniversary of the birth of iconic poet and playwright Rabindranath Tagore, the first Asian to win the Nobel Prize for literature. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh launched the festivities for the poet who won the Nobel in 1913 and is revered by the world's 250 million Bengali speakers in India, neighbouring Bangladesh and elsewhere.

The events, planned over one year, aim to stir new interest among a wider audience in the Bengali writer's novels, music, plays, poems and paintings, the government said.

"A number of commemoration events have (also) been planned abroad, particularly in countries with which Tagore had some association," Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said in a speech in New Delhi.

Tagore, who established an open-air university in India's West Bengal state, also penned the national anthems of both Bangladesh and India. He produced some 50 volumes of poetry including his acclaimed Gitanjali (Song Offerings).

Jorasanko Mansion in state capital Kolkata, the poet's birthplace and also where he died in 1941, was bedecked with flowers for the occasion.

In New Delhi, Singh, addressing diplomats and fans from India and Bangladesh, also announced an award in the name of the poet, who was part of a national campaign for India's independence from British colonial rule, granted in 1947.

"A jury headed by the prime minister will select each year a citizen of the world of outstanding public eminence who in his or her life and work epitomises the high universal ideals that Tagore stood for," Singh said.

The award will "recognise his very distinguished contributions towards the promotion of international brotherhood and fraternity", Singh said.

Tagore, who also spent time in what is now Bangladesh, renounced his British knighthood in protest over a massacre of hundreds of civilians by British-led troops in India's Jallianwala town in 1919.

Several states including Meghalaya and Tripura in India's remote northeast were also celebrating the event with seminars, plays and readings from Tagore's voluminous works, which for many mirror India's spiritual heritage.

Prime Minister Singh thanked his Bangladeshi counterpart, Sheikh Hasina, for jointly hosting the year-long celebrations.

He also released a digital collection of some of the poet's paintings which were on display at an exhibition in New Delhi.

The exhibition forms part of a broader joint series of events to mark the anniversary, which was launched on Friday in Dhaka by Indian Vice President Mohammed Hamid Ansari and Sheikh Hasina.

"Some important archival materials on Tagore that are on celluloid have been restored and packaged, for national and international dissemination, after sub-titling in English," Singh said.

The Archaeological Survey of India has helped authorities of Tagore's university -- Viswa Bharati -- in the restoration of 27 heritage buildings while the government is planning to upgrade museums linked to the poet.
Singh also said India's culture ministry has begun the digitaliation of Tagore's rare paintings and original manuscripts and books.

"But in the final analysis the future of Viswa Bharati depends not so much on official patronage or resources but the dreams and ambitions of its teachers, students and alumni," the prime minister added.

Tagore, known as the "Bard of the East," set up Vishwa Bharati in 1921 in the picturesque town of Shantiniketan near Kolkata from the prize money he received from the Nobel Foundation.

Hollywood sexiest Supermodels


Hip Hop Models:

"Hip hop" models are female models who appear in mainstream hip-hop oriented music videos, men's magazines, calendars, award shows, and live performances. Hip hop models are also known as hip hop honeys, dimes (or dymes or dime pieces), video vixens and eye candy. There are primarily two classifications of Hip hop models. There are models who strictly do print media (magazines, calendars, etc.), while others do print media as well as hip hop videos.

Controversy

There is a long list of criticism pertaining to controversies created by hip hop models. Many people in the mainstream feel that hip hop models represent negative, subservient or misogynistic images of women, especially black and Latino women. Detractors accuse hip hop models of causing a misrepresentation of the morals and values of minority women, because hip hop videos are the only way many people around the world are exposed to American Black and Latino culture. For instance, in 2004, Nelly caused protests because of his music video for the song "Tip Drill".

In 2005, a former Hip Hop music video star and model Karrine Steffans aka "Superhead" released her debut book Confessions of a Video Vixen, where she lashes out at the world of hip hop modeling, especially its degradation of women. The book's publisher describes the book as "part tell all, part cautionary tale". Another hip hop model, Candace Smith, said in an XXL interview, "what I've seen on [music video] sets is completely degradation".

Criticism has also reached the very networks that broadcast such videos. BET's former late-night program "BET Uncut" often featured explicit music videos that ordinarily would not have been shown during the day, and many contain partial nudity. "Before, artists were mostly making sexually oriented material for the underground market — providing them to strip clubs, or selling them as part of videos or DVDs. Now, they're bringing them directly to television, through places like BET Uncut and the Playboy network. And more outlets are growing for those who want to see more — or less — than a bikini".


Successful hip hop models

For those who have been fortunate enough to make a name for themselves as hip hop models, there are many avenues to bigger success. Some of these girls have only done limited work as hip hop models but, have found ways to market themselves. Many hip hop models have marketed themselves successfully through fan websites, film, calendars, DVDs, import car shows, personal appearances, party hosting, and various other projects.
