My own fuse is much longer on the topic of racist content than many of the other fashion bloggers.
“Be My Slave” is a blatent attempt to create controversy, and Aqeel has succeeded.
Salima Feerasta writes that fashion loves to be provocative, and we have come to expect the offensive. Yours truly believes that America is political correctness gone mad, but I’m right with Feerasta on condeming this shoot for one key reason.
Without a doubt, the model wearing the brand is very comfortable being in the dominant position, with the dark-skinned child subservient. This is no Smart Sensuality woman brand campaign but one dedicated to the heartless women who employ child labor and have no problem with it. It wouldn’t surprise me to read they are friends of designer Aamna Aqeel — these cold-blooded, modern values fashionistas.
Can you imagine Angelina Jolie appearing in such images? Shakira? No way! They are women truly dedicated to helping change lives for children worldwide. “Be My Slave” is nauseating. ~ Anne

I spend a lot of time on Smart Sensuality woman Angelina Jolie’s philanthropic and social activism persona. Angelina always sizzles but a never-before-seen image of a topless 25-year-old Angelina Jolie posing topless with a horse is set to go under the hammer at Christie’s.
LaChapelle shot the image as an outtake from a 2001 Rolling Stone magazine feature and is part of a Christie’s exhibition entitled “The Wild Side of Photography.” It’s expected to fetch between £25,000 and £35,0000, although Jolie’s partner Brad Pitt says he is prepared to pay a top amount to keep the image in his family.
Also being sold by Steven Klein is a staged scene of then couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt around a family dinner table entitled Case Study No. 13.
Angelina Jolie, the mother-of-six also serves as a special envoy for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and recently joined forces with Foreign Secretary William Hague in announcing £23m funding from G-8 nations to go towards a series of measures for preventing sexual violence and ensuring justice for its survivors.

Don West wraps Pernilla Fransander in texture rich headwraps for the up-close and sensual shots of Michael David Adams. Pernilla radiates strength and beauty from behind the veil in this Qvest Magazine spread. We all know that veils are complex fabrications here at Anne of Carversville. They enhance and simultaneously hide. Veils are deeply associated for making women property, denoting status and purity.
At AOC we tell women’s stories “from fashion to flogging”. Veils are a key fashion element in how these stories have unfolded over the centuries.
]]>Unbridled Female Desire By Sophia Rotas & Mark Viszlay For Don't Shoot the Messengers Bodywearhttp://www.anneofcarversville.com/sensuality/2013/4/22/unbridled-female-desire-by-sophia-rotas-mark-viszlay-for-don.htmlAnne2013-04-22T11:26:28Z2013-04-22T11:26:28Z
Alright! We have big news to announce shortly with Anne officially taking a walk on the wild side in a new ‘permanent’ marketing collaboration with a very upscale, delicious art magazine, my voice and our GlamTribale jewelry collection.
So this Daemon Concept 1 video by Sophia Rotas and Mark Viszlay presented by Nero Homme gets my attention this morning.
Staring Dorothy Bohner @ Icon Model Management/@ Why Not Milan, Rotas and Viszlay push beyond sizzling into an artful, in your face documentation of female sensuality and power.
Admittedly, the Strange VIP - When I Die music works to maximize the effect of one tantalizing video. But the pulsing pace of the imagery is perfect in capturing unbridled female desire on the verge of exploding into a fashion orgasm for Berlin’s ‘Don’t Shoot The Messengers’ bodywear with shoes by Eniko Toth.
Jen Gilpin, DSTM’s 34-year-old Canadian founder, established the label when she arrived in Berlin five years ago. Now, with the opening of her new boutique (and adjacent open workshop) in Berlin’s increasingly “luxus” neighborhood of Mitte, Gilpin and DTSM are fast becoming ubiquitous among the city’s most decadent style tribes.
“The base of the line is silk and leather,” says Gilpin. “I like this contrast of soft and hard, we pull it through the collections with the materials and the attitude. There is a sort of tough elegance that we strive for and find beautiful in the women we dress.”
Something tells me Dorothy won’t be hooking up with 50 Shades Christian Grey any time soon. More please! Simply Splendid! ~ Anne

Burlesque queen Dita Von Teese dons her signature vintage corsets and gowns to incarnate a woman lost in sensual fancy in this video for electronic outfit Monarchy’s new single, “Disintegration,” directed by Roy Raz. “She’s a 1950s style housewife stuck in a toxic, dry relationship. She’s fantasizing, releasing herself in a dream world of lovers,” says the band’s Andrew Armstong. The fortuitous pairing began on Twitter, and after spending an extravagant Christmas in Paris together—joined by local characters like Catherine Baba and Diane Pernet—a friendship was forged. Soon Armstrong and partner-in-music Ra Black were penning songs for the master of striptease. The result is a synth-soaked track that brings model and author Teese’s inimitable suggestive touch to Monarchy’s soulful dance. “We considered doing an x-rated version of it,” says Armstrong. “Maybe we will some day.” Switching between stark domestic scenes to muscular choreography performed by Israel’s young Batsheva Dance Company, Tel Aviv-based Raz draws us into an imagined erotic world that is part retro, part surreal. “There should be something reserved, unreachable, unobtainable about an ideal muse—close enough to inspire but just out of reach to keep the mystery,” says Armstrong. “We have that in Dita.” Here Von Teese makes some confessions, including ex-husband Marilyn Manson’s thoughts on her foray into music.
]]>Science Argues Women Like Men With Bigger Peniseshttp://www.anneofcarversville.com/sensuality/2013/4/10/science-argues-women-like-men-with-bigger-penises.htmlAnne2013-04-10T11:17:50Z2013-04-10T11:17:50Zvia ConceptArt.orgNot one of the 105 Australian women shown images of naked men in a piece of academic research dedicated to women and penis size preferences said: “I like small penises.” In the study released yesterday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, or PNAS, researcher Dr. Brian Mautz concluded that size does matter, that women prefer “showers” to “growers”.
Larger flaccid male members received higher marks.
“As you increase penis size, the amount of attractiveness scores gets bigger” in a linear fashion, he explained, until 7.6 centimeters, or 3 inches. After three inches, attractiveness still increased, but in smaller increments.
Not only were the ratings higher, but the women also spent more time gazing at the generously endowed figures, a sign they preferred looking at them as opposed to figures with smaller penises.
The women’s actions, as monitored not only by their answers to questions and ratings of images of pictures, but also measurements of nonverbal actions like eyes wandering can be frustrating to “growers”. “Several studies have shown that flaccid penis length is not associated with erect penis length,” says Ask Men, postulating that the average erect penis length is between 5.1 inches and 5.9 inches in length. “Literature around the average girth or circumference seems to flip-flop, but several studies have described an average mid-shaft circumference to be 4.49 inches and 4.97 inches when fully erect.”
In Dr. Mautz’s study of 105 women — hardly a massive sampling — yet not 25 university students either,
Penis size had a stronger effect on attractiveness in taller men than in shorter men. There was a similar increase in the positive effect of penis size on attractiveness with a more masculine body shape (i.e., greater shoulder-to-hip ratio). Surprisingly, larger penis size and greater height had almost equivalent positive effects on male attractiveness. via NBC News
It’s worth noting that women with greater body mass index held stronger preferences for big pensises. And especially with tall men, where the expectation of endowment was greatest. Mautz speculated, because “a taller guy must have a disproportionately larger penis to sort of make it clear” he’s endowed.
NBC’s Brian Alexander suggests that women may be looking for orgasms, as a pair-bonding function. Biologically, it’s argued that intense orgasms thrust sperm forward in the path toward a potential meetup with an egg and an opportunity to rumble. In the recent book, The Chemistry Between Us: Love, Sex and the Science of Attraction, Emory University neuroscientist Larry Young argues that intense orgasms tend to seal the deal for many women, and especially those looking for a husband and father for a family material.
Besides, as Kate shot back across the Atlantic, Gisele — who earned $46 million last year and leads the 2012 Forbes Model List — is a ‘footballer’s wife”.
Not to worry about Neophitou’s excoriating remarks about Kate Upton. Kate’s frankly operating above Neophitou’s bar these days — adored by Carine Roitfeld who used her front and center in Sebastian Faena’s great editorial for Harper’s Bazaar Australia. Presumably this editorial will go worldwide for Harper’s, in various renditions. Perhaps others will focus on Kate’s supporting cast for the Australia edition. This morning she is front and center.
Last week Bert Stern, the famous photographer who photographed Marilyn Monroe in ‘The Last Sitting’, said that Kate is his next muse. The trailer to the film is excellent, triggering memories of my own time spent with the Marilyn/Stern photographs a few years back.
At the time I was engaged in my own self-photography project, discovering the essence of the woman reflected into the mirror — clothes on and clothes off. The private journey was singularly the best project I ever took on in terms of my own self-development, even though my mother would call it the ultimate act of narcissism.
Rumours are that Kate will front the June issue of American Vogue, although mum is the word all around. Queried while speaking at a Samsung event, Upton swears she has “no idea” if she’s on the June cover. “I had no idea what’s happening,” she said. “I feel like it’s easier to deal with my schedule one day at a time.”
Kate Upton, Hannah Simone & Genesis Rodriguez on Men’s Body Styling
Kate is speaking directly to the guys about body grooming and Gillette. International Business Timeswrites about Kate:
Dressed in a white v-neck dress that shows off her curves, the starlet is reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe. It’s her naughty lines that steal the show though as she reveals, “I wouldn’t date a guy who has grooming problems, so no.”
It was an answer to a question about being attracted to men who don’t body groom. When asked if it is important to her that her boyfriends shave “down there”, she replies it is “very important.” Playfully winking at the camera, Upton displays her trademark sex appeal and light-hearted charm.
The video is created to promote Gillette’s Fusion ProGlide Styler.
Fine, so this is Kate being a light-hearted American girl with ample breasts. They are hers, right? And yes, London’s Sun celebrated National Cleavage Day on March 27 the Kate took the top prize.
Last week’s terrible tizzy about Kate Upton focused on her prom invite from a LA high school student Jake Davidson asking the Sports Illustrated cover girl to go to his prom. I’m sure that Gillette loved the natural publicity!
Before saying her calendar didn’t permit her to accept, Kate Tweeted back to Davidson: “You can call me Katie if you want! How could I turn down that video! I’ll check my schedule .”
In one of the stupidest commentaries this staunch feminist has ever read about gender relations, Slate’s Double-X writer Amanda Marcotte practically strangled Jake Davidson’s video as an example of male entitlement about the female body and women’s place in their masculine lives.
Young Pakistani designer Aamna Aqeel insists that her latest photo shoot “Be My Slave” is intended to call attention to the problem of child labor among the monied class. My own fuse is much longer on the topic of racist content than many of the other fashion bloggers.
