There are 204 countries that compete in the Summer Olympics. During the Opening Ceremony parade these countries are given the chance to be fashionable and show their pride in their country to the world. I love watching the parade of countries because I love seeing how everyone is dressed and seeing who the designers are. Many of the countries this year went with designers within their country such as the United States went with Ralph Lauren, Jamaica went with Bob Marley’s daughter Cedella Marley, and Italy went with Giorgio Armani. During this time many of the designers choose to incorporate something about the country or the country’s flag colors within the ensemble. Some of my favorites this year include…

The Amazing Spiderman is simply just that. Amazing! I loved Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker as well as the all-star cast members Emma Stone, Sally Field, and Martin Sheen. The Amazing Spiderman is the story of Peter Parker who is raised by his Aunt May (Sally Field) and Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen). Peter is an outcast in school and is a typical teenager trying to figure life out.

Have you heard all the hype?  Fifty Shades of Grey.  I read an article online several months ago about this book and then immediately downloaded it and then proceeded to read all three books in a weekend.  Needless to say the article sparked my interest.  This book is not for the faint of heart.  It is a typical corny love story, that isn’t even written that well.  The kicker is, it’s kinky.  REALLY KINKY.  I am not even going to attempt to write a review of the book, just open up the discussion about the book.  The jokes have been running rampant about lonely housewives kick starting their sex lives after reading this book.  Some have even predicted a Fifty Shades baby boom (okay Magic Mike is supposedly going to help with it) in about nine months.  Women everywhere are openly reading one of the dirtiest books I have ever read.  Believe me when I say that, I have actually read some dirty books.  Don’t judge!Stores of the ADULT nature are seeing a huge rise in sales, ‘Toy Parties” or as my friends and I call them “Tupperware Parties” are being booked left and right.  Couples everywhere are tying each other up and playing with whips, crops and paddles.  It has also opened up the conversation about sex.  Not that sex wasn’t already everywhere, but we aren’t talking about just plain ole vanilla sex here, we are talking about dominant/submissive role playing.
