Sex and food, two pleasures that go hand in hand

Posted by paris | paris | Thursday 28 January 2010 12:49 pm

Sex and food are two basic human needs that are intimately linked. To eat, to drink and to love… who has never enjoyed such a wonderful combination? Open your mind to pleasure and enjoy the best food and the best sex at the same time. Cook thinking about you and your lover’s pleasure: prepare an erotic atmosphere with dishes that incite the carnal act. Forget the aphrodisiac recipes, of doubtful effectiveness, and focus on the art of cooking and eating to feel and convey pleasure.

To seduce with food is an art. How about a dinner that begins on the table and ends in bed? Prepare the room for the occasion: place small dishes with fruit, chocolate, cream, jam, syrup… and do not forget something to drink (tea, spirits, wine or champagne are the perfect beverage). Use your partner’s body to try each and every one of the delights. Any part is valid: breasts, navel, genitals, mouth or neck.

Ice can be another highly erotic element. Using ice when kissing your partner can be an explosive mix. Let the cube melt between your lips. Play passing it from one mouth to the other, until it melts completely and let your tongues do the rest.

But kissing can go much further. The first kiss in the sexual act is comparable to the first bite of a delicious meal. Kissing is the same as eating; you have to bite, to suck and to taste… why not mix the pleasure of a kiss with the pleasure of a meal? Try the kisses wet in champagne or give your lover to try your lips dipped in any type of food: chocolate, fruit, anything goes!

How about an orgy of flavours among your lips? Try to combine sweet flavours like jam, cream, syrup or candies with warm and cold elements: ice cream, hot cake or flavoured ice cubes.

After all that food you are sure to get a bit dirty. Also take advantage of this to further lengthen the pleasure. Use perfumed water to wash yourself and your partner’s body in the most erotic way you can. Or if you prefer it, you can have a shower together.

Can you think of a better place to enjoy all these pleasures other than in the city of lights? The French capital waits for you with its finest delicatessens. Rent Apartments in Paris and taste the delights.

El Greco to Salvador Dalí: a Panorama of Spanish Art

Posted by paris | paris | Monday 25 January 2010 12:47 pm

What do you know of the history of Spanish art? If you want a complete panorama we encourage you to visit the exhibition “El Greco to Dali – the great Spanish masters”. The Pérez Simón Collection will grace the Jacquemart-Andre Museum in Paris from March 12th until early August 2010 and will provide 50 works of art from more than 25 Spanish masters, discovering or admiring the exceptional evolution from religious art to surrealist painting.

La Condesa de Chinchon

It is the first time that such a rich exhibition of Spanish paintings has been shown in France. It is an exhibition featuring twelve paintings never before exhibited to the public and others that are shown infrequently. Promoters say the jewel of the event will be a painting by Francisco de Goya- a portrait of Maria Theresa of Vallabriga and Rozas (1783). They also highlighted a selection of little known or studied works of the Spanish genius Salvador Dalí – ballet projects – and several drawings of Pablo Picasso’s blue period.

And there’s more! Thanks to Juan Antonio Pérez Simón (Asturias, 1941) who lives in Mexico and owns the largest collection of European art in Latin America, visitors can contemplate works of El Greco, Jose Ribera, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, Goya, Sanchez Coello, Joaquin Sorolla Juan Gris, Picasso, Miró, Dalí and Antonio Tàpies. From the dark sacred art of the eighteenth century, through the official portraits, scenes of daily life in the nineteenth century, the naval scenes of Sorolla and the representation of women in the early XX, the exhibition ends with the drawings and paintings of the masters of Spanish Cubism and Surrealism. It is a unique opportunity to take note of the best eras in Spanish art, to travel through the history of artistic movements and appreciate the breaks between each master. The evolution of Spanish art will leave you speechless!

If you plan to go and visit this exceptional exhibition, please note that an audio guide can help you to better understand the twenty works of art – you can even download the commentary from the Internet. And if you want to explore further the richness and beauty of Spanish art, a catalogue of some 200 pages is on sale on your way out of the Musee Jacquemart-Andre.

Take advantage of a stay in Paris to discover this museum located next to the Champs-Elysees, a luxury hotel built during the nineteenth century. Come and discover its impressive permanent collection – French, Dutch and Italian Renaissance painting, objects and furniture – their reception rooms, its monumental staircase, winter garden and private apartments. You will enjoy an amazing scenery along with the most unprecedented exhibition of Spanish art. There’s no excuse not to come. Rent Paris apartments and make your trip a memorable and unique one.

An Evil Monster Called Disney

Posted by paris | paris | Friday 22 January 2010 12:16 pm

I grew up with Disney movies. Loved them! I wanted to be friends with Alice so she could show me her Wonderland and fly on a carpet like Aladdin and Jasmine. When Bambi’s mother died I cried, and I laughed so hard with the silly seven dwarves. But most of all, I wanted to be like Peter Pan and never grow up. Disney is magic, and their movies keep on enchanting many children around the world. But lately appeared some studies and investigations, where therapists and pedagogues draw the conclusion Disney movies have a bad influence on children. How so?

Disney Paris

Let’s take for example the little mermaid. It’s a story about a mermaid who wants to be human. There is nothing wrong with that, right? But she lies to her father, asks her friend (the crab) to lie to her father, who then goes crazy, bursts into rage and destroys her collection of ‘human things’. She makes a deal with Ursula, risking the lives of everyone in her kingdom, and without telling an adult where she is going. She is in love with Prince Eric, although she has never spoken to him. It’s pretty superficial, but hardly traumatic if you ask me.

There’s more. According to some crazy American scientists, if I have behavioural problems, it’s the fault of my favourite movie, Peter Pan. The three children fly with Peter to Neverland. They don’t ask questions, but just take off with a total stranger, again without warning an adult where they are going and with whom. Then there is Tinkerbell, the lovely little fairy with a super skinny waist, blond hair and a short dress that barely covers her bottom. Wendy on the other hand, is a good girl, with a traditional night gown and good manners. That’s why the mermaids (who sit all day on a rock combing their hair and being pretty) make fun of her. She’s different and definitely not cool.

But the biggest issue is racism. Peter is friends with the Indian Chief and his daughter Tiger Lily. They use the words ‘Squaw’ and ‘How’, and sing a song about how the redskins became red. They sing that a long time ago, a Native American became red after kissing a girl, therefore implying that they were originally white and ‘normal’. The Chief is by the way very uncivilized and savage, as he holds Michael and John hostage. Okay, first of all, remember that this movie was produced in 1953, a different era. And second, what is wrong with little boys having the time of their lives playing at Indians? With feathers on their heads and coloured stripes on their faces if they want to! Yes, it’s a stereotype and it might be untrue and offending to some, but that doesn’t mean they don’t respect other cultures or will develop racist ideas when they grow up.

Let’s continue with the sex. Some people accuse Disney of using hidden messages in their movies. Sex sells, that’s a fact. And now even Disney is said to use subliminal sexual images in their movies. In the little mermaid for example, Ariel lives in a castle of gold. And on the cover of the first video release, there was an odd structure on the castle wall, resembling a penis. The final scene is the wedding of Eric and Ariel, and if you look closely it appears that the bishop is having an erection. In the Lion King, there is a cloud of dust that forms the word ‘sex’ and a star shaped like a penis. In the flying carpet scene of Aladdin, there is a verbal hidden message saying ‘teenagers take off your clothes’. It’s only a whisper in a dialogue and almost inaudible but its there.

There is some good news though. According to a study by Sharon Hayes from the University of Florida, three year old girls who watch Disney movies do not worry more about their weight as do girls who watch Dora the Explorer. Thank god!

Am I going to forbid my children to watch The Lion King or Cinderella because of this? Hell no. I hope they will love the Disney movies just as much as I did when I was young. And to experience the magic to the fullest, why not spend a weekend in Disneyland Paris? Gather the whole family, rent the best apartments in Paris, and say hi to Peter Pan from me!

Is the anti Kama Sutra around you?

Posted by paris | paris | Wednesday 13 January 2010 11:26 am

You take the high heels off, the panties go flying, your lips meet, your hands are anxious and don’t know where to start exploring and suddenly your bodies entwine and adopt the first Karma Sutra position that comes to mind… This is just the beginning of the story, followed by many other adventures. Maybe you’ve arrived to this common moment – but less discussed in public, which title could be: boredom in bed. What are you thinking of? Surely you imagine intimate scenes, fantasies and desires that your body demands more than ever. If the show does not satisfy you sexually, you have to take action!

Boring in bed

When one meets alone with his friends and discuss about sex, one can hear things like: “It’s great, it’s always different; “we are so tired when we arrive home that we just want to sleep”; “the chemistry is great between u s”; “this is the first time I feel something like this” or “I’m boring, I do not know what to do”, and so on. Feeling bored in the bed with your partner may have very different origins.

If you take too much time with the same partner, you don’t have to be ashamed or feel unsure of your fantasies: the communication should be the best ally of your relationship. Is not this the case? Sometimes one is not boring, but is repressed. Learning and sharing is perhaps the best of sex.

Some people say that if you bored with your sexual life because you also get bored in your everyday life. The same happens if you eat every day your favourite dish, after some time you’ll hate it. The sex is like everything else, it has to be pampered. With or without salt? Spicy better! Others talk about the chemistry that prevails between the two partners… Precisely in that chemistry is the key to overcome the boredom and not choose other easy solutions as a lover…

It may also have to do with the loss of desire, which is often dealt with these kind of tips: wear sexy or edible lingerie, do erotic massage or tantra, outdoor sex practices elsewhere, a striptease, etc. But the most important thing is a good communication, spontaneity, passion and creativity. Conform, no! Propose and surprise, yes! You’ll see that everything will become more exciting and pleasurable.

Once you’ve learn your partner’s body, his/her erogenous areas, the confidence will increment and the sex will become more tender, entertained and intense. The outcome of the chapter is in your imagination, your instincts and your fantasies.

Make a trip with your partner! Paris can be an ideal destination to arouse the carnal passion between both. Rent Apartments in Paris, so you can enjoy all the needed comforts to reinvent your sexual pleasures.
