A Life of Celibacy

What is celibacy?

Celibacy can be a choice in life

or a condition imposed by circumstances.

While attending a Marriage Weekend, Frank and his wife Ann,

listened to the instructor declare, “It is essential that husbands

and wives know the things that are important to each other.”

He then addressed the men.

“Can you name and describe your wife's favorite flower?”

Frank leaned over, touched Ann’s arm gently and whispered,

“Gold Medal-All-Purpose, Isn't it?”

And thus began Frank's life of celibacy.

I THOUGHT YOU COULD USE A SMILE TODAY!

ManSpeak

Needless to say, "men are men" and "boys will be boys". But is it just the way it is or the way they want it? As women, do we have to conform to silent acceptance of what is, or can we actually just give what we get?

The reason for my rant is only the first man lesson I got today from my 17 year old son. We were discussing - that is my daughter, my son and myself, why is it ok for a man to date multiple women with ridicule but a woman will not only catch glares but be called bad names. My son than poetically announced this piece of ManSpeak that he just picked up from school...

A key that unlocks many locks is a master key, and a lock that's opened by many keys is crappy.

Wow! My kid understands double standards. This is not l'Amore.

Funny

Don't blame me - this came from my Mother, who I'm sure got it from somebody else. I find it quite amusing and somewhat true...

To all ladies who are in a hurry to get married, here's a piece of Biblical advice: Ruth patiently waited for her mate Boaz. While waiting on YOUR Boaz, don't settle for ANY of his relatives: Brokeaz, Poaz, Lyinaz, Cheatinaz, Dumbaz, Drunkaz, Cheapaz, Lockedupaz, Goodfornothinaz, Lazyaz or Marriedaz & especially his third cousin Beatinyoaz. Please, wait on your Boaz & make sure he respects Yoaz

Start Small Go BIG...

Phew!! I only had two more days before I missed the entry deadline! The Start Small Go Big contest supports small businesses and is right up l'Amore Intimo's alley with the launch of the new Envy collection and the desire to take part in the Designers and Agents show, and I can't forget the need to purchase a more advanced sewing machine to create the designs. If We don't have a product, we don't have a business. If we can't promote the business we won't have customers.

So what you can do to help is vote for l'Amore Intino.

Don't Envy Me -- ENVY...

To celebrate the release of the Envy Collection, l'Amore intimo will be offering the complete 3 piece collection at 50% off if ordered by Labor Day, Monday September 5, 2011. Visit the website for details.

A Poem to Share

I am a question that needs answering
I am a howl at the moon at night
I am a glad handing smiling politician of the soul
I am a universal mind in a local body
I am a great scene of love playing
in your mind

I am a wild answer in the night
The one who pauses from flight
To blow a kiss
In your direction
Who am I?

I am you
in so many ways
and yet not
I am the man that's true
To his being passion and purpose
How about you?


poem by Benedict Burns C 2011

ATELIER

In Milano I had the pleasure of meeting designer Selene Giorgi. Her shop located on Vicolo Lavandai catches the attention of both the local faire and the tourist. Her pieces definitely caught my eye and for those who prefer different, take a look at her website ATELIER and enjoy!

You're all invited to Milano when l'Amore Intimo showcases with Atelier in a rare trunk show. Will keep you posted on the date!

Worth the Press!!

Always, always when I go downtown to the Los Angeles Fashion District to shop for l'Amore Intimo wares I stop by LA TORTA LOCA!! If I have someone shopping with me I take them too. I take visitors. I take residents. I've always called it the great little Mexican food place on Santee at 8th, with the straw umbrellas in front. Any way l'Amore Intimo - that's me - highly recommends and we will be in works to get them to cater (AH! SABOR) our exclusive by invitation only collection launch parties!

The Perfect Nighty Night T-Shirt?

Well I thought the design was a wrap - literally. But after careful consideration and just not wanting to develop the original idea for l'Amore this first "Nighty Night T-Shirt" was scrapped. So maybe it's worth knowing what you think. My idea is comfy, surrounded by sensual. Let me know what you like in a night shirt that will be uniquely l'Amore Intimo?? Help!!

Who's the Fairest of Them ALL?! Says PEOPLE Mag...

Jenny on the block! And l'Amore Intimo concurs. This mega Mommy of TWINS, super-wifey of MARC ANTHONY, and new kid on the AMERICAN IDOL block - whew!! She makes me tired and inspired at the same time! Kudos to you JENNIFER LOPEZ! Would you like a l'Amore Intimo BIRTHSTONE THONG?

What a Difference a Year Makes

Hello Everyone!!

Yes I have been gone and the business has been very slow do to other priorities called life in Los Angeles. With lack of hands to get a quality job done and lack of time to rush through it on my own l'Amore Intimo has had to take a back seat in production. Slowly but surely the stride is coming back. Everything will be back up and running by this summer and the official launch will take place with a new collection! A new patent pending collection!
