Make Your Love Life More Adventurous with Sex Swings

Posted on November 11, 2019April 22, 2020 by Huzaifa80ic

The majority of couples in long-term relationships have a sexual routine. They develop it over time, and it gives them the security and comfort they seek. They know each other well, they are familiar with each other’s desires, and they respect each other’s limits. 

However, a routine can become harmful if it turns into a rut. If the thought of having sex with your partner does not excite you, it is high time to make some changes. Every relationship needs care to thrive. Just because you are comfortable with one another does not mean you should take your sex life for granted. If you do, the feelings you have for each other will slowly fade away until they become merely a distant memory.

Do not risk getting to the point of no return. You can still view your partner in a new light and feel as excited to be with them as you did when you first met them and vice versa. However, to achieve that, you will have to expand your horizons and move your boundaries. That is how you will sexually grow as individuals as well as a couple.

Fortunately, we live in an era of sexual openness and empowerment, so seeking help does not represent much of a challenge. We are not referring to therapy, but a significantly cheaper, yet far more effective solution – sex toys.

You may feel nervous or even intimidated at the thought of including a sex toy in your sexual routine. If so, the feeling of thrill will replace those negative feelings as soon as you start researching the topic. You do not have to be kinky to enjoy sex toys. That is why sex swings exist — they suit almost everyone’s needs.

Lack of Sex as a Reason for Marriage Failure

You may find it absurd that a married couple could get a divorce over a lack of sex. Aren’t love, trust, support, and friendship more important? As soon as you adopt that way of thinking, your marriage is doomed. The fact is, all aspects of your relationship are equally important. Of course, a marriage cannot survive on sex alone. However, sex alone (more precisely, lack thereof) can end it. Unsatisfactory (or non-existent) sex life can be the sole reason for a divorce.

Busy schedules can leave you little time for each other. Numerous daily responsibilities can slowly drive you apart until they finally create a chasm between you two. Balancing between building a career and raising children can leave you exhausted. As a result, you may start seeing each other as co-parenting partners rather than spouses. Basically, you can become roommates without even realizing it. Finally, you are left with two options — staying in a mediocre marriage or getting a divorce.

You do not have to stand back and watch that scenario play out before your eyes. You can do something. Maintaining a marriage is a challenge, but that is what makes it worth the effort. Instead of letting frivolous daily activities consume you, turn to each other. Devote your time to one another and get creative. Talk to each other and browse through your options. Do not let the stigma around sex toys stop you — your pleasure, happiness, and, ultimately, your marriage, are more important.

Sexless Relationships

You do not have to wait to get married to experience a lack of sex. It can happen to you even if you have been together for only a few months. Whether you face it because of your lifestyle or some other reason, it can lead to a break-up. It does not happen overnight. It creeps into your life and settles there quietly while you are busy doing other things. You start postponing romantic getaways and moments of intimacy until the chasm between you becomes so obvious that you cannot ignore it.

That is when all of your differences surface and you start fighting. Your frustrations turn you into each other’s enemies, and you do not even know the real reason behind your fights. Lastly, you decide to break up, and you finally understand the meaning of the phrase, “I love you, but I am not in love with you.”

Not all relationships are supposed to last. Some of them turn into lessons, and others become pleasant memories. However, if yours is one of those worth the effort, do not give up. Do not let yourselves lose each other over a hiatus in your sex life — you should not allow yourselves such luxury. Instead, experiment and implement some changes in your routine and enjoy your flourishing relationship. You may even discover something new about yourselves.

How the Use of Sex Toys Can Help

If your sex life has fizzled out, reviving your relationship will be a challenge. You may be eager to accept that fact yet unsure if you’ll be able to do anything about it. It is only natural not to know where to start in such a situation. Reconnecting with your partner may feel like getting to know them all over again, except that the stakes are much higher now than they were when you first met. However, do not let anxiety and uncertainty stand in your way and distract you from your goal. After all, higher stakes mean higher potential rewards.

Luckily, you are fortunate enough to be alive in this day and age. It was much more difficult for couples in the past to bring their relationships back to life. You, on the other hand, live in the epoch of sexual openness. The subject of sex is no longer taboo. As a result, you have a broad selection of various sex toys at your disposal. You may be reluctant to give them a try, but once you do, you will be pleasantly surprised at how much of a difference they can make. You can choose yours according to your affinities — there are dildos, anal plugs and beads, whips, and various bondage gear.

Introducing Sex Swings

Speaking of bondage, the most advanced (and the most effective) form is a sex swing. Whether you are into BDSM or not, it will change the view of sex (both figuratively and literally). Sex swing positions will open your eyes to new ways of having intercourse. In fact, you will be able to get into almost every position you can imagine, including the ones you have long written off for being “impossible.” 

Getting a sex harness is also a fantastic way to break the ice in the uncomfortable situation you have found yourselves in. You will enjoy the process of choosing one almost as much as the experience of using it.

Sex Swing Description

Aside from being a piece of furniture that makes the impossible possible, a sex swing is also a method of restraint. It suspends one partner, allowing the other one to take control. Given the position of the submissive partner, the dominant one has complete access to their genitals and anal region. If you add an anal dildo into the mix, you can enjoy double penetration in the most extreme positions.

A sex swing supports the suspended person’s back and behind, allowing them to relax and enjoy the experience. It also features adjustable stirrups for legs — you (or your partner) will literally lose the ground beneath your feet. If you are having a hard time picturing what they look like, take a look at the swings from LG website. They have different types of sex swings and descriptions that you can read as well.

Rest assured that you will easily find a sex swing that meets your requirements as the market offers a wide range of harnesses. They differ from one another in material and design.

A roof-mounted sex swing requires you to install a mounting point (or two) in your ceiling. Depending on the one you choose, it may spin 360 degrees or have a bar you can attach your handcuffs to.

In case you want to avoid construction work and have a big enough space for your sex harness play, you can choose a swing with stands. You will set it up in several minutes, and you can store it in your closet or under your bed, as the stand is collapsible.

Other types of harnesses include a door sex swing and a body sex swing. The former has straps you need to hang over a door. Once you close (ideally lock) the door, the stoppers will prevent the swing (and you on it) from falling. The latter is one you can hang from your partner. While it does not provide a full sex swing experience, it is perfect for standing-up sex positions.

Closing Thoughts

Even though your situation may seem grim right now, it can change within days. Maintaining a relationship requires you to evolve sexually. Fortunately, you can swing over the chasm you and your partner have created between yourselves and toward a happier and healthier sex life thanks to the existence of sex harnesses. However, keep in mind the instructions and the weight limit your swing can hold — you do not want you to fall because of a technicality.…

Choosing the Sexy Costume For Women

Adult Costume Guide for Women

Getting naughty in the bedroom now and then is crucial for keeping your sex life pleasurable and dynamic. And the one thing that always raises the heath under the sheets is role-playing!

This experience will allow you to express and explore your sexuality in a different way. Moreover, it may even help you learn more about your partner and yourself. And on top of that, you get to have a fun, unique, and unusual sexual experience.

So, if you want to try it out and are looking for some ideas, you’ve come to the right place. Here are some of the most popular and appealing sex costumes!

RELATED: How to Explore Your Sexuality Without a Partner

Nurse

Nurse role-play is an oldie but a goodie. And it’s highly unlikely your man won’t like the sexy caretaker costume.

Besides, most men would enjoy the idea of a woman being in charge and taking care of them.

There are many ways you can go about a nurse role-play scene. You can do something classic, like a nurse finding a patient naked on the bed while taking tours. Or, you may turn it into power play, with the patient taking control over a nurse who’s supposed to be in charge.

But no matter how you do it, the right costume and setting will help both of you to get into your roles. As for medical equipment, you can use stuff you already have at home, like dishes, towels, glass thermometer, etc.

And when it comes to costume, you can always find an amazing one in a sex shop. The white laundry with a short skirt and top is a perfect combination. Besides, you can use many cool accessories — a tiny cap, white robes, etc.

Teacher

This adult costume for women will drive your man crazy. And what’s not to like about a skirt with a shirt and high heels? This combination is always sexy, especially in the bedroom.

Also, taking a teacher’s role is an excellent opportunity to explore the strict, even cruel parts of yourself. Women in control are almost always appealing to men. And if you have the uniform that suits your role, you’ll have a fantastic experience!

As we mentioned, you can wear any skirt and shirt you have. But in case you want to take it to a higher level, you can put on some sexy, long stockings and laundry. Looking so serious and strict, but having some sexy panties underneath will make your men crazy about you.

And when playing the role of a teacher, don’t forget the glasses!

Doctor

The doctor role ties back to the nurse scenario. But, this time, you’ll have more authority and power over your partner.

The doctor costume includes a white dress, a robe, high heels, etc. However, you can get creative and make it different. For example, you don’t need to put anything underneath the robe except long stockings and a white corset. That way, you’ll feel more naughty, and you’ll give him quite a surprise once you take the robe off.

As for the scenario itself, you can do many things. He’d probably like the idea of getting examined and touched intimately. And you can always make it about power and control! Maybe you’d enjoy acting like a bitchy doctor, or he’d love to play the role of a rude patient.

This role-play is also a perfect chance for you two to flirt with each other, just like when you started dating. And one more amazing thing about it is that you get to turn something serious like visiting a doctor into a fun and sexy thing!

Masseuse

In case your man likes getting massages, you can easily turn it into a sexual role-play. There’s something sexy about getting a massage anyway, right? So, why not take the opportunity to give him two or three pleasurable experiences at once?

And achieving the look of a masseuse isn’t an issue. You’ll easily find the short dress with cleavage, matching stockings, and a cap in an adult store. Of course, high heels go perfectly with this combination.

As for the setting, you don’t need many things to make just the right atmosphere — towels, oils, candles, etc. If you want to make it feel more real, you can do it in the bathroom. And in case you have a big bathtub, you can also do your role-play there, naked!

When you take the role of a masseuse, getting naughty will come naturally. That is a perfect opportunity to give your partner an experience they’ll remember!

Just keep in mind that giving a massage can be a bit tricky. So, if you want to be sure you know what you’re doing, you can always take classes! SEE 7 Great Ideas for Roleplay Sex

Devil

If you’re really good at being a bad girl, the role of the devil may be perfect! This role-play can be your chance to annoy your partner with a great excuse!

On top of that, it’s a perfect opportunity to dress up and put on a sexy costume. Your man will certainly love to see you in black and red laundry! And luckily, you can find so many provocative, themed costumes in sex shops.

You can put on a sexy corset, stockings, high heels, all in black and red colors, and you’re ready to play your role. And if you want to leave more to the imagination, you can always go with a red dress and net socks. As for accessories, you can find the matching horns, a tail, and a devil trident, in case you don’t get these with your costume already.

And don’t forget to do your make-up as well!

Naughty Nun

Playing the role of a naughty nun isn’t for everyone. In case this type of role-playing goes against your beliefs and values and makes you feel uncomfortable, you can skip it.

But if you like sexualizing sacred things, you should definitely try it! For example, you can start the role-play with the words “Father, I have sinned”. You can then confess to having naughty thoughts and talk about your recent sexual fantasies.

If you make it this way, you can even take the chance to tell your partner things you normally wouldn’t!

And when it comes to choosing the best costume for the role of a nun, sex stores again have a lot to offer. You can always go with a black, latex or leather dress, net stockings, and high heels. You’ll probably also get a matching veil and cross alongside your costume.

But when it comes to role-playing sex, the only thing you’ll need for sure is creativity! When you have and use that, you’ll turn any scene into an amazing, pleasurable experience.…

14 Secrets Halloween Costume Designers Want You to Know

Posted on September 8, 2019June 10, 2020 by Huzaifa80ic

Choosing a Halloween costume can feel like a hugely important decision to many children and adults, so we turned to costume designers and industry experts for their tips on how to come up with the perfect costume.

Halloween shopping starts early

It may seem ridiculously early to many shoppers, but there’s a good reason why stores begin to stock Halloween products over the summer. According to the National Retail Federation’s (NRF) Annual Halloween Spending Survey, more than a third of consumers start their Halloween shopping in September or earlier. Nearly 40 percent make their candy and costume purchases during the first two weeks of October, and the remaining 20 percent shop in the two weeks leading up to October 31. If you’re on a budget, try making one of these cheap Halloween costumes for kids that you can totally DIY.

More millennials are getting into character

As social media use has increased, so has the pressure for Generation Y to wow their followers with clever or creative Halloween costumes. That’s one reason why millennials are the most likely of all adult generations to participate in Halloween, and it helps to explain why they spend more on their costumes, too. A 2016 survey showed that Gen Y spends an average of $42.39 on Halloween costumes compared with $31.03 for all adults.

Don’t forget about your pet

If you’ve purchased a costume for your cat or dog, count yourself among the 20 percent of consumers who plan to dress up their pet. “One of the biggest trends this year is the growth of spending on pet costumes,” said Phil Rist, executive vice president of Prosper Insights & Analytics, which conducted NRF’s survey. “Out of the 31.3 million Americans planning to dress their pets in costumes, millennials are most likely to dress up their pets, the highest we have seen in the history of our surveys.” We think these are some of the best Halloween costumes for dogs.

Inspiration comes from many places

Inspiration for the perfect costume can come from anywhere, but the three most common sources are online searches, retail stores, and friends and family, according to the NRF. Unsurprisingly, women (25 percent) are more likely than men (11 percent) to use Pinterest to research ideas, but men (18 percent) are more likely than women (11 percent) to use YouTube. For more inspiration, check out these vintage Halloween costumes that could still be worn today.

Top costumes for kids

Remember that Halloween when you couldn’t turn a corner without bumping into a pint-size Elsa or Anna? You’re only slightly less likely this year to run into a sister from Frozen; they’re 10th on the list of top Halloween costumes for children. So what will be the most popular? According to the NRF, most kids are planning to dress as their favorite princess characters. In the number two spot is a superhero, followed by Batman at number three.

What adults want to wear

While superhero and Batman made the list of NRF’s top 10 adult Halloween costumes (numbers nine and six, respectively), princess didn’t make the cut. Instead, witch is ranked number one, followed by vampire and zombie, suggesting that grown-ups appear to prefer scary over sparkly. Trick-or-treating with kids? Here are the best Halloween costumes for families.

Dress in-the-moment

Pop culture continues to grow in popularity as a source of Halloween inspiration, especially for the social media-savvy set. More than a third of younger Millennials and older Generation Zers will cull their costumes from the year’s most talked about books, movies, or TV shows. This year you’re likely to spy a Black Panther character, a tutu-wearing Serena Williams, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, and some red-cloaked Handmaids strolling your neighborhood on Halloween. These are the most popular Halloween costumes on Amazon right now.

Step away from the sewing machine

If the last time you operated a sewing machine was 8th grade Home Economics, save yourself the hassle of stitching together a homemade Halloween costume. “Tape, hot glue guns, and staplers can do amazing things,” says costume designer and Broadway dresser Sam Brooks. After all, unless your goal is to create a long-lasting and reusable costume, your DIY creation only has to survive one night.

Mix it up

When skipping a store-bought costume, Katharine Tarkulich suggests putting your own spin on a well-known character. “Whether that’s doing a superhero as a pin-up, turning a historical figure into steampunk, or combining two things you really love into one unique costume, the sky really is the limit,” says the freelance costume designer. Mashing up multiple ideas is also a fun way to brainstorm clever Halloween costumes for couples.

Focus on the details

“You can create three different costumes with the same dress just by switching up your accessories and makeup,” says Katie Echeverry, the CEO and founder of Unique Vintage. When going the DIY route, Echeverry recommends keeping your outfit simple and getting crafty with the extras. Take a sleeveless black shift dress, for example. Add pearls, sunglasses, and a top knot, and you’re Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany’s. A white jacket, red gloves, and a wig transforms you into Cruella De Vil, and to become a cat, all you need are ears, a tail, and some drawn-on whiskers.

Source supplies from around your house

Need craft supplies and other accessories your DIY costume? Brooks suggests using what you have on hand first. “You’ll definitely feel like you’re in the ‘MacGyver School of Costuming,’ but it pays off,” he says. You may not end up constructing insect wings out of tape, saran wrap, and old hangers like Brooks, but you can easily become a “Cereal Killer” with cereal boxes and plastic utensils. Here are more punny Halloween costumes you can try this year.

Don’t wear your Sunday best

A word of caution before sourcing a costume from your closet: “Anything can happen on Halloween, and people are usually covered in makeup and what not, so stains are likely,” says Brooks. So if you’re going as the Bride of Frankenstein, you might want to think twice before wearing your wedding dress as your costume—even if you still fit into it! Here are 17 easy Halloween makeup ideas that almost anyone can master.

Get yourself some toupee tape

Topstick is technically a grooming tape meant for holding toupees in place, but the double-sided adhesive strips can solve most “sticky” situations, according to costume designer Stephanie Levin. Going Greek? Use Topstick to prevent your toga from having a wardrobe malfunction. Borrowing your tall pal’s bell bottoms? Try it to temporarily hem them for the night.

Visit your local thrift store

Looking for inspiration? Levin suggests taking a trip to a thrift store. “You can find items that are clearly a new costume, you’re able to put together a whole look,” she says. Thrift stores are also great places to find finishing pieces like a cane, an old-lady handbag, or a trench coat. You might even find what you’d need to put together one of these 14 clever Halloween costumes for work.…

How to Choose Your Perfect Halloween Costume

Posted on August 27, 2019April 28, 2020 by Huzaifa80ic

Halloween is undoubtedly one of the best holidays of the year! It’s spooky and infinitely cheery due to various unique traditions and activities. That includes parties, bonfires, parades, pumpkins, trick-or-treating, and more. But, to truly have fun during this holiday, you’ll have to get in touch with your creative side and pick the coolest Halloween costume. 

Dressing up for Halloween is a fantastic way to share the scary, wacky, or sexy side of your personality! However, it requires some original ideas and a bit of effort. Take a look at our guide on how to choose your perfect Halloween costume! 

Incorporate Your Own Personality With the Theme of the Party

The first thing to do before you prepare your costume is to think about the party you’ll be attending. What is the theme, and how will you fit into it? Fortunately, it’s quite easy to approach this if you simply think about your personality. How does it match the theme of the Halloween party? 

For instance, if you’re attending a friend’s party with lots of marrihttps://www.thestranger.com/seattle/dark-fairy-tales/Content?oid=9679ed couples and children, it may be inappropriate to put on a sexy Halloween costume like a nurse outfit with lots of leather and exposed skin. But, if you’re going somewhere with many people who are looking to hook up, that kinky nurse costume or another adult costume will be a good choice. So allow the theme of the party to guide your costume choices. 

If you’re going to a boring office party or if you celebrate Halloween with your parents, you can think of something witty that shows off your humorous side. And, regardless of if you dress up like a pirate, werewolf, Harry Potter, Bigfoot, Abraham Lincoln, or anything else, your costume will reveal a lot about you. On the flip side, you can choose to forget all about your personality and take on a new identity through the costume. That is also a great idea since you can become a totally new character!

 

Use the Colors That You Love

The next tip is to use your favorite colors. If you’re a die-hard fan of black, the chances are that you won’t go for a jolly fairy costume with bright colors. Luckily, your favorite colors won’t limit you at all. 

Those who prefer black or shadowy hues can simply wear dark versions of popular Halloween costumes. For instance, you can be a dark mermaid, dark fairy, etc. Dark colors are simply perfect for all types of scary costumes like skeletons, vampires, witches, and more. However, if light colors are your favorite, you can pick something upbeat and bubbly. Think of elves, pumpkins, cute animals, video game characters, and more. 

Moreover, bright colors are an effective way to stand out in the crowd. Yellow and orange shades, for instance, are some of the best “social” colors. They will make you appear approachable and friendly, and anyone will be up for a chat with you. These colors can also affect your mood and make you feel happier while wearing them. So if you’re a social butterfly, use yellow and orange colors to express that side of your personality. You can dress up like a bumblebee, pineapple, duck, clown, etc. 

Conversely, go for any type of red if you’re feeling seductive. Red, pink, and purple are the best colors for making you appear sexy and attractive. Think about some flirty costume Halloween costume ideas like a kinky male demon, Wonder Woman, Jessica Rabbit, a vampire stripper, etc.  

Research for the Latest Trend Depending on the Theme

Fortunately, you can search for anything today, which means that even if you don’t know the theme of the party, you can look it up. A good trick is to explore the latest trends. You can pick a costume according to that. 

For example, if the themes are girl power, crime, superheroes, or cartoons, you can simply check to see which outfits are the best and most popular match. This is probably the best idea for any type of movie theme.

If the theme is the Oscars, find out which movies won the awards. Then, dress up like the actors, actresses, or popular characters from those movies. For example, the Joker has been a popular choice over the years. Harley Quinn was also the hottest costume recently. However, if you want a unique outfit, it may be best to avoid the obvious choices. Look for new trends that aren’t world-famous or overdone. 

But, you should also keep in mind that you can put a creative spin on just about any theme. Even if you’re not into the theme of the party, you can change it to match your interests. For example, if the party is about zombies, you can go as an undead version of your favorite actor or even pornstar.

Consider Your Budget

It’s also important to set a budget. Halloween stores like Party City can offer outfits that are very cheap as well as incredibly expensive. So first decide on how much you want to spend and then look for your costume. 

Nowadays, you can find just about any type of costume online. First, decide if you’re going to buy a full outfit or a single costume item. In some cases, it may be easier to find a good deal for a full outfit. Sometimes, a single item (mask, cape, etc.) can actually cost more than a full costume. Always look for what’s included in the set and compare the price to other products. A bundle with costumes and accessories like hats, wigs, or shirts could be a better deal. 

On average, you can spend around $20 to $40 on a Halloween outfit. However, also consider any type of makeup that you may need. Face paint, glitter, and similar makeup will also need to fit into your budget.  

And if you’re not into the idea of spending anything, a DIY Halloween attire is always a great option. Simply find some old clothes or decorative items around the house and fashion your outfit out of them. 

Ask Your Group of Friends to Have the Same Costume

Group costumes can definitely turn you and your friends into the stars of the party. If you’re going to a Halloween party with several friends, you can all wear matching costumes. 

That means your gang can dress up as a bunch of drunken werewolves, naughty cheerleaders, or even characters from TV shows like “Friends” or “Seinfeld.” You can even form your own superhero squad with your buddies and suit up like the Avengers.

There are so many options here, from a group of scary prisoners, horny flight attendants, chill ‘90s kids, to various pop culture characters from movies and video games. If you decide on a group costume, you can put your minds together and come up with something truly creative! Moreover, you can also wear group costumes with your partner. Simply dress up as a famous couple from movies, the music world, etc. 

Additionally, group costumes can be quite cheap, and you can find better deals on bundled outfits as opposed to buying them separately. If you’re by yourself and you just can’t seem to think of the perfect idea, just ask your friends to join up. Then, you can brainstorm with your crew and find the funniest or coolest group outfit that you’ll all enjoy. Just make sure that everyone is comfortable with the idea and that no one gets left out or becomes jealous.

Summary

Now that we’ve shown you some easy costume ideas and pointers on how to pick the best one, think about the outfits that will suit your personality the best. Remember, let your imagination roam free, and good luck! …

7 Things That Make Choosing A Costume For A Show A Pain In The Ass

Posted on August 21, 2019April 28, 2020 by Huzaifa80ic

A show is made up of a lot of factors that a performer should note. There are lights, music, sets, and costumes, to name a few essential items. 

Costumes are an essential part of the performance since the performer has to wear them and move in them. That is especially true if the show features a lot of dancing. 

Plus, some performers can have an easier time getting into the headspace of their character with their attire. However, finding the right suit for the show can be tricky, especially with no foresight. Careful planning, time management, and budget awareness ease the stress that ensemble shopping usually brings on, especially for an important show.  

The Costume Must Allow Movement Especially If a Performance Is Required

The best costume to buy would be one that you can move in. It can be loose and flowing or tight and revealing, as long as your body is not restricted.

Movement, whether it is dancing or simply walking, is a major part of any show. Many things could go wrong on stage that you can easily prevent, such as nip slips or ripped pants. Of course, you can work it all out and salvage the situation, but it’s best to avoid mistakes. You can do this by making sure everything is neatly (and well) tucked in. Plus, safety pins are your friends, and you can use them in such a way that the audience will think it is part of the costume design. 

A good costume is one that suits your body and lets it move with added comfortability so that you feel at home on stage. Feeling comfortable is a great way to bring your character to life and make it more enjoyable for yourself and your audience. 

Make sure the costume fits well, that you can move better, and that you feel good. Another aspect you should also be aware of is costume accessories since they can influence your movements. Therefore, rehearsals with all the attire on is a must to create a fantastic show.  

The Need for Technical Rehearsals With The Costume On

Kids’ costumes, adult costumes, and trick-or-treating costumes are completely different from performance costumes. Yes, you can use them in your show wear, but the main difference is the motivation behind wearing them. You are not going to a party but putting on a performance where rehearsals are needed. 

Technical rehearsals are a great way to work out the kinks of your getup and allow all the mistakes to happen before performing in front of an audience.

Rehearsals let you see how the outfits look under the lights, how the set corresponds to your wardrobe, and how the gear moves with your body. At least one technical rehearsal for a one-night show can be all you need (or all you get) to make sure that you and your wear flow as one. 

You can have other people in your crew to help. They can point out how it looks while you are on stage since you will be focusing on your role. You wear your costume, not the other way around. 

Budget

One of the most significant downsides when thinking up costume ideas is your budget. If you are not part of a big show, this will be a personal concern. If you are only performing for the love of it, you will have to dig into your pocket to get what you need and want.

The budget will certainly be an issue if your act is inspired by a TV show or a pop-culture phenomenon. That would require you to make sure that your viewer can see who you are playing at first glance. These types of shows are not cheap and are usually one-time things. That is why having a budget is necessary. 

Plus, shopping around for the best price can be a bank balance saver. So start shopping earlier before the rush of Halloween and watch out for fashion trendsetters to see which ones are trending.

Time-Consuming

Time is even more important than your budget. Not only can you save money by catching the right sales, but you would need to prepare your wear. Plus, you may have to make your outfit by yourself if you cannot find the exact one that suits your hit show. There are ways to make minute costumes that last a long while. 

You can also reuse what you have and make it new. A pair of black shoes and a plain t-shirt can get you far with enough time. You would be able to add your touches to a beloved character without accidentally degrading them. Hop on to minute Halloween costume ideas before the season starts to get your creative, stitching hands flowing and come up with a new classic.  

Accuracy of Characters

Clothes mark the era, and costumes do the same. If you are preparing a period piece, do some research. You must make sure that your outfit is accurate so that the audience can get immersed. You cannot be a traditional 17th-century queen in super tight pants (unless your play is some kind of parody). Preparing for a costume is as important as preparing for a performance.

You should also keep in mind the theme of your show and stick to it. If your act is a gothic punk take set in the 16th century, a mixture of the two worlds is needed. However, one style should not outdo the other. 

If that does happen, your message will get lost. If you are working in a group with other performers, try to make sure the lead (if there is one) stands out when compared to the rest. But they should not be too overpowering or different. It will end up looking out of place.     

Conclusion

Roleplay and Uniforms: Why Women Love Them

Posted on July 22, 2019August 17, 2020 by Huzaifa80ic

Why Do Women Love Roleplay That Involves Men in Uniform?

Guys work their tails off in college to have the knowledge they need for a decent job. Then, they work their tails off to get a promotion. With a promotion, they can afford a better car, a bigger house, and nicer clothes. Not only that — they also have spare cash to buy gifts that are expensive only because they’re shiny. They do all of this just so that they would be more presentable and attractive to a woman. Sure, most women don’t really care about what brand of car you drive, but they do respond to it. “Hey, look, a BMW doesn’t mean a lot to you, but that’s some man shit I’m doing right there!”

Then, they start living with the girl of their choice and work even harder to make themselves look valuable and interesting. The problem comes when the boiler stops working. Obviously, you went to business school, so you don’t know what a heat exchanger really does. A guy comes in wearing a plumber’s uniform, with his dirty hand holding a toolbox. Oh, boy. Suddenly, there’s this handy man who knows his way around it. You’re just a nerd standing around this “real man,” and you notice your girl admires the fact that he’s ready to get dirty. She wonders what he might be like in other spheres of life, while you’re helplessly trying to remind her you know a lot about Excel functions.

At least that’s the scenario. That’s the explanation behind her desire for roleplay sex, during which she dresses you up as a fireman. Women innately find men in uniforms attractive, and we’re here to help you understand why.

Manliness

Before we even start, here’s a roleplay sex tip number one — just because your lady wants you to be a man in uniform doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re a beta soy boy. (It might be only a part of it). However, if uniforms are a desire of hers, be a gentleman and make it happen. Chances are she’s fantasized about it even before you were in the picture.

So what is it about uniforms that women find irresistible? Well, they (uniforms) send out a single that the one wearing them is a proper, hard man. You see, whenever you see a man in a uniform, say, a soldier, he’s immediately more authoritative than a guy in a regular shirt. He looks like he deals with dangerous situations far more often than an everyday dude. If a soldier is your partner’s fantasy, she might see you as someone who risks his life to protect others, including her love. Isn’t that worth rewarding, sexually?

Physical Appearance

In the modern day, men in uniform have replaced Medieval knights in shining armors. There are no longer damsels in a castle waiting for a hero, but uniforms that should (and do) represent manliness still exist.

First of all, when you see a policeman or a fireman, they instantly stand out. Well, that’s obvious — that’s kinda the whole point of a uniform. But what we mean by this is they simply hold themselves a bit differently. They hold their heads higher, chests are out, backs are straighter. On top of that, they usually have to keep their uniforms tidy and their haircuts in check. They always look well-polished, both in how they dress and how they appear overall. Let’s not forget, (in a fantasy,) men in uniform are always fit, with their biceps and six-packs on show. There’s a bit of eye candy on all fronts.

Furthermore, some people believe the uniform attraction stems from ancient times and our primal urges. You see, way back in the day, women sought men who were strong enough to provide food and defend their families from various dangers. Masculinity was a sign that they’re a good partner, and today, a uniform is a sign the guy wearing it is muscular. Two plus two…

It Unleashes Your Submissive Side

As we’ve mentioned before, uniforms provide men with instant authority and respect — not only around women who find them attractive but men as well. Simply, you’re not going to go into a spat with a policeman as you would with someone dressed as a hippie. Women notice how other men treat uniformed guys, and they find it attractive, especially if they like to have a dominant partner.

If a woman is into being submissive but doesn’t really know how to get into it, doing a bit of roleplay with a uniform should get her wheels going. Usually, when there’s a uniform involved, ladies fantasize about doing something mischievous and getting caught in the act. It’s often something small, but the idea is that you catch them, and instead of giving them a ticket, you punish them in bed. You can ask your girl if she’s been naughty and let her be creative with an answer — it’s her fantasy after all. Although, beware that, at times, it can get weird like, “I’ve been naughty, officer, I drunk-drove into three children!”

Their Uniforms Make You Curious of What’s Underneath

She might ask you, “What’re you packing there, soldier?” If you say, “the Beretta M9 with a bayonet,” you might think it’s funny, but you could also set out a promise you can’t keep. In the same way that uniforms make us believe men underneath are muscular, they also make women inquisitive. Do they have a gun of their own? The kind that will still fire shots even if it gets wet?

The Rugged Look

While they do their best to keep their uniforms nice and tidy, men wearing them won’t be afraid to get them dirty. They will do their best to finish the job, and they will be happy to get down and dirty to fulfill their mission. A fireman will go into fire and come out with ash all over his face. A soldier will crawl through mud. If their job is to satisfy their lady, they’ll do everything they can to make it so. The uniform obliges them.…

10 Expert Tips for Choosing a Costume

Posted on June 9, 2019September 10, 2019 by Huzaifa80ic

From finding the perfect costume to clever makeup tips, expert Cherry Snow shares her expertise for choosing a Halloween costume — and making the most of it.

  • Read the fine print. Know exactly what costume pieces and accessories you’re getting before buying. “We’re really careful to list and detail everything that is included so there are no surprises,” says Snow. As with any consumer goods, read the return and exchange policy before making a purchase.
  • Predict the weather. Before you buy, think about what the weather may be like on October 31. Leotards and tights help little girls stay warm underneath a skirted costume, Snow says. For boys or girls, long sleeve T-shirts under their costumes add a layer of warmth.
  • Know the right size. “Keep in mind that a children’s size 4-6 is the clothing size, not an age range,” Snow says. For any costume on, the sizes of women’s costumes are based on dress sizes, while the sizes for men’s costumes are based on jacket sizes.
  • Buy early. Don’t wait until the last minute to purchase a Halloween costume, especially if you’re ordering online. “Baby costumes are always bought early,” Snow says, “If you do buy early, calculate the age the baby will be on Halloween and buy the costume based on his or her expected size. “This goes for all infants and kids, too.” And don’t wait to find costumes for teens and adults, Snow says. Those go fast as well.
  • Try it on. Take the costume out of the bag well before October 31, just in case it doesn’t fit. Steam or iron the costume before wearing it. “Treat a Halloween costume like an outfit for a special event,” Snow says. “That’s the way to make the most of it.”
  • To save money, use makeup. Short on cash? Change your face with makeup to help the same costume look dramatically different if attending multiple Halloween events. “Be sure to follow all directions for applying and removing makeup,” Snow says. “And make sure any makeup you use is hypoallergenic.”
  • Accessorize to add variety. Add gloves or a hat to help make the same costume look different from one night to the next, Snow says. Plus, adding different accessories is a cheaper alternative than purchasing two costumes.
  • Practice in advance. Buy enough makeup to do it twice — and leave enough time to get ready. “Do a practice run with your makeup a day or two, or even a weekend before the Halloween event,” Snow says.
  • Make costumes safe. Some costumes come with masks or hats. “If the eye slits of a mask are too small to see out of, make them a little bigger by cutting them open,” Snow says. “Then use makeup to blend in the color of the mask with your skin.”
  • Know your pet. Dressing up your pet for Halloween? Understand that some pets just don’t like to wear a costume, Snow says. “Stick to something that has a cape if your pet isn’t thrilled about wearing a costume.”
