“For Play” – A Clothing Line for Real Women
Conventional beauty is a collective, averaged opinion of what is appealing to the sense of sight. True beauty is an idiosyncratic, non-biased perception of what is attractive and can only found only in the eye of the beholder. If a person accepts that conventional beauty is what he or she should also consider appealing, their concept of true beauty will be clouded.
One of a woman’s primary goals in life is to feel beautiful. Women in today’s society are constantly bombarded with external opinions of what is considered good-looking—unscarred skin, dramatic hair and a thin body. When media networks are not hosting campaigns about accepting other forms of beauty, they are keen on showcasing mainly women who meet the three “criteria.” Recurrently seeing and hearing this notion of what is beautiful causes many women who do not satisfy all three requirements to develop an inferiority complex. Consequently, these women will strive to achieve all three elements of “beauty” irrationally, overlooking the simple fact that their skin will never resemble what is presented in a photograph of a Photoshopped celebrity, their hair never a Veet model’s, and their body never a supermodel’s. They also disregard the fact that many lighting, makeup and camera tricks play a role in how these “beauties” achieve “beauty.” Seeing these enhanced women can skew an average woman’s perception of what is attractive, causing her to think that conventional beauty—what society considers eye-catching—is the only beauty.
Nowadays, women are easily stunned and fascinated by models strutting down the runway in size zero clothing. What many women do not realize is that the average lady cannot fit into a size zero article of clothing. A typical woman does not have the genetic predisposition to achieve the catwalk body. Body types vary widely, but there are three general classifieds that all body-types can fall into: endomorph, mesomorph and ectomorph. An endomorphic woman’s body naturally has a below average metabolism, which causes her to store fat at fast rates. She appears larger in size and may possess above average strength, having a body analogous to that of a power lifter’s. A mesomorphic woman has an average metabolism. She is predisposed to build muscle and she stores fat at a standard rate, which gives her an intermediately-sized body similar to that of a bikini model or bodybuilder. An ectomorphic woman’s body has a naturally above average metabolism, which allows her to burn fat at rapid rates. Her naturally low body fat percentage is what gives her that slim, tall appearance comparable to that of a runway model, ballet dancer or basketball player. She has thin bones and little muscle tissue, which limit how large her frame can be. My point is that body types differ with genetics. Some of us are naturally thinner than others, and vice versa. If your body is not ectomorphic, attempting to force it to become so will decrease your metabolism, which will cause consuming a decent-sized dinner to thwart your weight back to where it began. Dreams of becoming having ectomorph-like body can only be somewhat reached by obtaining an eating disorder, the leading cause of death in regards to mental illnesses.
Even when a media campaign decides to send a message about natural beauty, the models showcased always seem to have either abnormally flawless, airbrushed-looking skin or dramatic windy hair. Clearly, this is a form of compensation for presenting models that do not meet all three elements of conventional beauty. Similar to body types, skin types come in a variety of forms: naturally oily skin, naturally dry skin and combination skin. Bearers of naturally oily skin tend to suffer from acne breakouts. Those with naturally dry skin battle with flaking. People with combination skin—oily t-zone and dry cheeks—must deal with both acne breakouts and flaking. Every skin type is attached to its own burden. Women featured in beauty magazine spreads only appear to have flawless skin because makeup, added lighting and Photoshop skills give them the ability to create that illusion. Hair is perhaps a woman’s most idiosyncratic asset, coming in an infinite array of colors and textures varying from black to red and pin straight to fun and frizzy. The dramatic breezy look parallel to all Cover Girls is attained through professional styling and wind generated from fans.
YouTube comedian Jenna Marbles once presented a satirical video titled “How to trick people into thinking you’re good looking.” This viral video seamlessly expresses how women can transform themselves into a beautiful “human optical illusion,” as said by Jenna herself, with makeup and hair tricks. In the beginning of the video Jenna presents herself prior to the transformation; beautiful, but by no means conventionally beautiful. By the end of the video, Jenna is a full blown conventional “hottie,” fit to blend into the celebrity limelight. This video is proof that models displayed in beauty commercials and magazines are often items of deception.
As human beings, it is natural that we carry insecurities. The test of how insecure you are lies in the mirror. This test consists of gazing into a mirror for exactly two minutes without finding any flaws. If you attempted this challenge, chances are you failed and found a litany of flaws. Or are they flaws? It is time to realize that your flaws—or what your brain perceives as flaws due to seeing and hearing repeated notions of conventional beauty—are not flaws at all. They are elements of true beauty. No one has the perfect skin, hair or body. All natural forms of skin, hair and bodies are gorgeous.
I weighed just 105 pounds on my wedding day. After my fourth child, I weighed 300 pounds. Although I was heavy-set, my husband never had eyes for the runway models displayed on billboards. Generally, men are decisive creatures who have their own opinions about what is beautiful; they do not allow society’s standard of feminine beauty to sway their opinions of what they truly feel is attractive in a woman. What men care about is the connection they have with you. I will never erase the night my husband made me realize this fact.
It was another stressful Monday filled with monotonous house chores. Filthy piles of laundry were dispersed into mammoth towers around the house. The children were screaming. Dirty dishes were stacked high in the sink. It was chaos. When the clock’s hands struck 11 p.m., I prepared for bed. After brushing my teeth, I gazed into the full-body mirror before me, suddenly feeling depressed. The children had gone to sleep, and my husband was still at work; it was quiet—just the way I liked it—yet I had never felt so dejected. My reflection was what disturbed me. I couldn’t believe I had allowed myself to become so lackadaisical in regards to my physical appearance. My hair was unkempt. I had put on a tremendous amount of weight, and darkened bags of exhaustion rested under my eyes.
With the energy of a slug, I dragged my feet out to the bedroom, crashed onto the bed and unleashed a multitude of tears. The excessive number of chores I was saddled with daily combined with the dismaying self-examination I had just done with the mirror caused me to snap. I also felt as though I had deceived my husband; before our wedding, I didn’t warn him that the petite 105-pound beauty he was marrying would later transform into the size of a 300-pound football player. I cried for an hour that night. I would’ve cried the entire night if my husband hadn’t come home to cheer me up. At around 12 a.m., I heard the bedroom door creak open. I must’ve been quite deep in the pits of sorrow because I hadn’t heard him come in through the house’s entrance door. The moment he saw me in bed huddled into fetal position with tears rushing down my eyes, he rushed towards the bed and embraced me. Voice cracking with pain, I explained why I was bawling. He kissed my forehead and said, “Being with you during hard times or good times are the best times of my life. Being with you is like living in a fantasy world. You are my heart, my love and my wife. When I come home from work and see the house I feel good because my wife lives there.” He said he could care less if I was 105 pounds or 300 pounds; he would have me either way.
There is more to life than obtaining the three elements of conventional beauty. Time will force us all to lose whatever dashing looks we previously had. Jewel Postell and Company hosts a line of men’s lingerie that is intended to enforce the emotional bond between two loving partners. This line, called For Play, emphasizes respect and consideration for both his and her needs. Many people view lingerie as solely a stimulant for sexual intercourse—the prelude that leads to the main event. However, true intimacy between a man and a woman is so much more.
As the founder of For Play, I created the line for real men and women—the typical everyday man and woman. Rather than considering only petite-figured men and women, I chose to focus on promoting the maintenance of a close connection between couples. Although For Play is a men’s intimate apparel line, the needs of the women who are in relationships with these men are equally important. Therefore, whether a woman has a thin, average or ample size body, she is entitled to experience the intricacies of love and sexual intimacy. And whether a couple is in the mood for languorous lovemaking, playful liaison or seductive experimentation, For Play will deliver no matter the occasion.

Rock and Roll…

Jewel Postell’s Male Lingerie Line Salutes Rock and Roll
“Sounds like music to my ears.” When we utter that phrase, it’s usually with a smile, signaling the receipt of good news. It also proves that music can be a monumental healing experience. Music has many genres, but rock and roll is perhaps the boldest of them all. With its daring yet emotional lyrics, rock and roll music evokes a love it or hate it response in listeners – a concept that can be applied to sex as well. Some couples view intercourse as an act to be committed within the confines of tradition while others pursue a more adventurous road. Similar to rock and roll, Jewell Postell and Company takes the latter path with its intimate clothing line for men, “For Play.”
Whether it’s Joan Jett’s “Do You Wanna Touch Me” or Guns N’ Roses’s “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” many of us have chanted similar lyrics – when no one was watching. Think in the shower or when no one else was home. This stems from the raunchiness and dangerous sex appeal associated with rock and roll music. It is also an undeniably honest form of music. Fashion designer and the founder of Jewell Postell and Company, Isabella Goll, kept these notions in mind while creating “For Play.”
For centuries, women’s intimate apparel has received vast attention while men’s lingerie has been largely ignored. Goll created “For Play” to give men an equal role in the diversity of bedroom activities. Variety is the spice of life – this also rings true for couples who are in committed relationships. Failure to keep the sexual chemistry aflame can wreak havoc on the relationship. With “For Play,” women can choose from a vast array of lingerie for their male partners while men can enjoy the thrilling experience of being on display.
Rock and roll music blends outspoken lyrics with cathartic instrumentals. Jewel Postell’s intimate apparel for men represents the emotion behind these songs. Like rock and roll musicians who are unafraid of deviating from the norm, Jewel Postell intimates stand for what we dream about and are courageous enough to transform into reality. Whether our desires are hidden or surfaced, great music has a way of drawing us in to what we want; Jewel Postell provides the resource to get it.
“For Play” is geared towards those who seek originality and excitement in the bedroom. Each design is seriously crafted to ensure that these remembrances promote trust and a loving bond between couples. At Jewel Postell and Company, we hear frequent stories from those whose relationship have been impacted favorably by our clothing line. Therefore, we believe your readers will thank you and us for introducing them to “For Play.”
We look forward to speaking with you.

Sex & Love in Your Relationship

admin — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 02:38:53 +0000

This won’t come as a news flash to most women, but men are programmed for sex. They’re simply made with a high sex drive, just as we for the most part are programmed to be the nurturers. In other words, we’re not likely to hear our man say, “Not tonight—I’ve got a headache.”

So, what does this mean? First of all, we shouldn’t fight nature—after all, testosterone is a mighty substance! The differences are clear from the start, when little boys for the most part prefer noisy, active play, and little girls are content to play quietly with their dolls. There are always exceptions to every rule—and sure enough there are plenty of couples where she is wondering why he doesn’t want as much action as she does.

When it comes to a loving relationship, though, men and women value things in different ways: you might feel a surge of love when he makes dinner or takes out the trash, but he feels it when you make love to him. Men feel loved when we show them physically how much we care—it’s very straightforward. It’s how they’re made, and relationships go most smoothly when we work with the facts rather than try to get around them.

The bottom line is you love your man as he is, just as you want him to love you as you are. For the most honest and rewarding relationship, you must embrace him as he is, high sex drive and all. He needs sex to sustain the love between you, just as you need him to meet needs in other ways. Loving couples work to understand that about each other, with full respect and effort going both ways: you’re aware of each other’s needs and desires, but you’re both also aware of the limits.

I want to stress again that I’m not saying you need to give him more sex than is comfortable for you. It just means knowing and understanding the importance of sex to him, and being open-minded to the natural differences (in general) in the male and female libido. Lovemaking is a mutual activity, and it’s no fun if both partners aren’t willing. But then, his need for sex is not just about intercourse: your man may feel the need to masturbate at least once a day. With the typical biological make-up of a man, that’s completely normal, although some women may find it surprising and not easy to adjust to.

Tackle Stress with For Play

admin — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 22:43:44 +0000

People have a natural inclination to want to be in control of their own lives. We want to do things our own way, we want a say in how our life unfolds, and we want situations to pan out how we planned. Consequently, if something does not coincide with our agenda, we undergo the monumental effects of stress, which can include anxiety, irritability, pessimism, and a steep decline in domestic and romantic bliss.
Despite our desire to be in control, life is a journey full of unfortunate events that we are unable to predict; thus, stress will inevitably attack. Stressful situations are plentiful: the job we despise going to every weekday; those fifteen stubborn extra pounds that threaten to devour our self-esteem; small, dependent children who require nearly every minute of our attention; the poignant loss of a loved one; or the devastating diagnosis of a potentially fatal disease. Rather than taking immediate action by tackling the root of our affliction, we allow stress to overwhelm us, exhausting our physical, emotional, and mental health. But, if we are willing, we can stop this vicious cycle. How we cope with stressful situations makes a difference in our happiness.
Although we cannot prevent stress from intruding our lives, we can find positive ways of releasing our burdens. Many people resort to negative methods of coping with problems, such as alcohol, drugs or violence, rather than resorting to one of the simplest and most effective solutions: sensational romantic interludes.
Oxytocin – initiates sexual arousal, forms emotional bonding, and intensifies orgasms. Dopamine – intensifies mood. Norepinephrine – merges with adrenaline to give the body a sudden burst of energy. Endorphins – the body’s natural painkillers. These are just a few of the many feel-good chemicals that are naturally released into the body in copious amounts by males and females during and after sex. Hence, sexual activity is a highly effective way of relieving the body of tension. The amount of feel-good hormones released into the body during sex increases when the experience is more enjoyable. Enhancing one’s sex life can instill more enthusiasm in partners; adding foreplay to the mix is one of the best ways to heighten one’s arousal.
With its “Just Do It” slogan, Nike recommends that billions of people take the plunge without procrastinating. Jewel Postell’s “For Play” men’s lingerie line encourages men and women to take immediate action to improve their sex lives and lessen the negative effects of stress. As the founder of “For Play”, my objective is to introduce alternatives that couples can use to amplify the attraction they feel towards one another, which can lead to a rich and trusting bond. A provocative, playful and stimulating atmosphere blended with the right attire can rid the body and mind of disquiet better than any other stress-coping mechanism. Each “For Play” lingerie piece is designed to encourage men and women to lose their inhibitions and forget about the outside world so they can focus on the moment.
A reluctant nature can result in the inability to try new things. By being unadventurous, we can miss out on the best experiences of our lives. The fact that society often puts a lid on what is sexually acceptable can make venturing “outside of the box” difficult. However, hesitancy or embarrassment towards one of the most pleasurable event life has to offer, especially when done within the confines of a loving relationship, keeps romantic happiness at bay. Sexual pleasure is one of the greatest gifts we can offer to our partner and ourselves so don’t be ashamed to do what pleases you both.
As adults, we are obligated to take responsibility for our lives. Our happiness does not lie in the amount of problems we have, but in our attitude towards them. Don’t allow stress to pull your spirit any deeper into the abyss of misery. Take action. The solution is simple: have some sex…but not just any sex. Opt for something different and new: electrifying, memorable sex combined with a Jewel Postell “For Play” men’s lingerie piece. Don’t hesitate… Just do it! Pun intended!

Shock and Awe…honeymoon memories

admin — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 18:44:45 +0000

Ah, the honeymoon: Your marriage has just begun, and this is your chance to start it off with a bang while having the time of your life—day and night. Think “shock and awe”: shock him with your imagination, and then awe him with your technique. While it may be a challenge to really shock him (after all, it’s your honeymoon, and he knows he’s in for sex, sex, and MORE sex), you can make sure to awe him every day and night during your first days as a married couple.

So, what can you do that isn’t already in your repertoire? Chances are the two of you have been enjoying some fine lovemaking for quite a while leading up to the wedding. In this case, you may need to reach a bit farther into your bedroom bag of tricks to come up with something outside of your tried-and-true techniques. The goal is to make those honeymoon nights as memorable as possible. Here are some ideas:

Positions: What better time to break out a few new positions than your wedding vacation? There’s no need to bring along a copy of Kama Sutra—just check the Internet for some great ideas on positions to try for various goals, such as ensuring he hits your G-spot with every thrust. Try some different face-to-face positions to maximize intimacy, which is so important in your marriage.

Places: Everyone knows there’s something special about hotel sex, but even more so on your honeymoon! Especially if you’re staying somewhere with serious seclusion, you can amp up the pleasure factor by doing it somewhere other than the bedroom. If you’re lucky enough to have a villa with a very private balcony, a cabin with a hot tub, or even an island of your own, you’re on your way to romantic heights you’ll never forget. Doing it outside can be the greatest turn-on, but before you do, be sure you have absolute privacy, out of respect for others who might happen by.

Accessories: Sure, you two are madly in love and all you really need is each other’s bodies, but even honeymooners get tired—very tired, in fact! It can be wonderful to let a toy take over some of the effort while you rest up for more action later. If you haven’t used vibrators and the like in your lovemaking before, this is the perfect time to introduce them. Or maybe ordinary vibrators are old hat in your bedroom, but a mischievous friend gave you an elaborate new device as a bachelorette party gift that you’ve yet to show to your man. Pack it for the trip, and break it out of the suitcase when you feel he’s ready for just a little change.

Once the vacation’s over and you’re back to the daily grind, don’t forget to keep up the bump-and-grind! And while doing that daily may be an unrealistic plan even for newlyweds, make the effort to keep lovemaking in the forefront. Honoring sex and using it to strengthen your bond as a couple will pay dividends and ensure your marriage is a long and satisfying one.

Sex & Love in Your Relationship

admin — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 18:35:50 +0000

Yes, it can take some concentration on our part to see around the female perspective, which focuses on the emotional connection. Do you agree that your bond to your man grows when he meets the needs of your heart? Yet his programming is so tuned to his physical needs that he feels that bond when you meet the needs of his body, when you satisfy his sex drive. We may not always like it this way, but again: it’s nature, and we can’t (and shouldn’t try to) fight it. After all, it’s the differences between you that attract you to each other. Whether it’s his broad shoulders, his stubble, or his deep voice that makes you go wild, they all stem from the same source: his wonderful maleness. By appreciating it and honoring it in a situation of deep mutual respect and caring, you both build love within a lasting and meaningful relationship.

Valentine Interlude

…plan the setting for a prefect Interlude

Velvet is just one of those materials that everyone loves to touch. It plays so many roles, from the innocence of a baby’s stuffed toy to the richness of a vintage luxury car’s upholstery. I have some favorite throw pillows beautifully covered in dark velvet that looks as wonderful as it feels. But lately I thought of another way to appreciate this sensuous material—by using it in the bedroom.

Think about how this royal fabric will make your man feel like a king when it touches his most sensitive skin. Wow! That’s why I suggested to my clothing designer that we turn to velvet for our very special line of tuxedo outfits.

I’ve seen my husband collapse in bliss when I caress him with the rich, cotton velvet. Your man will do the same—believe me—and he’ll look like royalty with his member dressed to the nines in its very own tuxedo. He already loves the way you touch him, but the silky fibers make it even better. You can use a light touch or even get a little rough, and it all feels so good.

Last week my friends and I had one of our famous Girls’ Night Out get-togethers and everyone had so much fun talking about ideas for giving her guy a memorable Valentine’s night. The plan that got the most giggles all around was this: Hide the gift-wrapped tux in the car before you go out for that romantic dinner. Then when you leave the restaurant and get back into the car to head home for the real “main course,” hand him the package before he starts the engine. He’ll open it—and you can bet that’ll get his engine purring! He’ll want to take every shortcut for the quickest route to the bedroom. And then it’s up to you to put your special touch on the evening.

These hand-washable tuxedos are made of special cotton velvet that truly feels like silk. It’s twice as soft—and twice as irresistible, to both of you!
