Karrina’s Costume Talk

Our Celebration Dinner

Posted by: karrinascostumetalk on: September 11, 2009

It was early evening and I was in the kitchen cooking dinner. My boyfriend and I were expecting a couple of friends over a bit later to join us in a small celebration. Chicken Cordon Bleu was cooking in the oven, and I was cutting up vegetables for a salad when my handsome boyfriend snuck up behind me and put his arms around my waist. He nuzzled my neck and whispered to me softly. ”Have I told you today how beautiful you are?” “Only about a dozen times…but say it again, just to make sure I heard you.” I love this man, and have waited for so long to feel this happy again. Tonight we are celebrating our first anniversary of being together with the friends that introduced us. I am cooking one of my man’s favorite dishes, and I have something special planned for “dessert”.

He then whirls me around and takes my face into his hands and gently kisses me on the mouth. He is sweetly irresistible and the effect he has on me is intoxicating. The salad can wait. I wrap my arms around him as he pulls me closer. I know that I should be setting the table…chilling the wine…making the final dinner preparations…but at this moment all I can think about is him and how much I want him. I want him right here…right now.

Our kisses are passionate and soulful. I am melting into him and can feel how much he wants me, too. He pulls the strap of my sundress down over my shoulder and can see the sexy black lace bra I had planned to surprise him with later as a surprise for “dessert.” I have heard it said that life is short, so why not eat dessert first? Suddenly I completely understand where that saying must have come from. I let the sundress slip to the floor. I realize at that moment I am standing in my kitchen in my black lace bra and panties. I am supposed to be making dinner…but right now the only thing that is cooking is me and I can’t wait any longer.

Once he sees me in my sexy attire all our dinner plans are put on hold and we are only tuned in to each other. His hands are on me, touching me, caressing me, and making me ache with desire for him. There isn’t time for relocation…he takes me right there in the kitchen, pressing me up against the kitchen counter making me shutter with lust and desire. The passion we have for one another is evident as we completely get caught up in the moment and take each other to ecstasy and beyond. We have always had amazing chemistry physically and tonight isn’t an exception. The fact that we made love spontaneously in the kitchen right before dinner made it especially hot and sexy. I won’t soon forget that night.

We quickly pulled ourselves together so our friends wouldn’t suspect what we’d been up to before their arrival. I found myself grinning at my boyfriend all night knowing what had just transpired between us, and realizing how much I love and adore him. By the time the night was over, I was definitely ready for Round 2… but this time it would have to be in a much “softer” locale!

You NO LONGER Have The Right To Remain Silent!

Posted by: anna on: August 10, 2009

Short Skirt, Plunging Neck LineI have had my eye on a certain guy for a long time.  He is kind of shy, however and although I have tried various flirting tactics with him, nothing seems to be working.  I know he likes me a lot and I catch him looking at me sometimes at work when he thinks I can’t see.   I’ve also noticed that he likes to stop by my cubicle for various reasons that seem unnecessary… like borrowing my stapler, getting extra post-its, etc.   The problem is that he seems kind of nervous about approaching me.

I have devised a plan, however that is going to get me a date…or with a little luck, several dates with my office crush.  Admittedly, this is a plan of manipulation.  I intend on pulling out all the stops when it comes to using my feminine wiles and bringing him to his knees (so to speak — well, actually, I kinda like that) because I really, really like him and I just want him to GET IT!  This shyness game has got to end!

A mutual friend of ours is having a big Halloween party.  This is opportunity at its finest hour for me, because at work we have a fairly conservative dress code which doesn’t really allow me to “advertise the product” that much, which is always helpful when it comes to flirting with men.  I intend on dressing up in a super sexy costume that is going to have my lucky friend dribbling with desire by the end of the night.  (I hope so, anyway!)

sexy police costumeI found a super hot police-girl outfit.  It’s so super-short that if I bend over you can see my panties.  (Hmmm, I might have to do some appropriate shopping for those, too!)  The costume comes with a low cut, tight police shirt that makes my cleavage look so tempting it could to break some laws all by itself!  The outfit is worn with hot stockings and stiletto heels.  Obviously not at all like the genuine-article, but for my purposes it’s perfect.  The police hat will be pulled down over my long blond hair and I will add some hot make up to give me that perfect little pout.  I want to look as sexy as possible especially since I will be there to enforce the “law”.  Things are bound to get a little out of control.  I hope my sly little plot pans out, but if he still doesn’t get the hint, I will then be forced grab my “most wanted man”, cuff him and let him know I am armed…and dangerous.

Virtual Reality

Posted by: karrinascostumetalk on: July 10, 2009

7-10-2009 5-26-51 PMSometimes I feel like I don’t even know myself and I have no enjoyment in my lfe. This is when I joined a virtual life on the internet. At first I felt silly thinking these people could really be my friends and my only escape from reality. I rush home after a long day, just to enter into a world where i can be and do anythnig i could possible imagine. When normally, I wouldn’t have the guts for outside of my new virtual home.

My day in cyber world starts out by dressing up my Avitar. Mostly in a sexy costume, or lingerie to show off to my “make believe husband.” From there, my Avitar goes to work, shopping, cooks dinner, and many of the normal everyday activities. Then in the evening in my cyber world I go out on the town. I go into bars, dance, sing, and talk to many different Avitars. I know this may not seem unusual back in reality, however, I am shy and scared to ever do these things outside of the computer.

I stay in my life away from home, until I cannot possibly hold my eyes open another second. Once, reality kicks back in. I’m left lost and alone. My husband doesn’t understand. He seems to keep pretty distant these days. All day at work I thought nothing except to go home and get online. These were my days for about 4 months. Until I got a virus from an email, and my computer crashed. My computer was in the shop for over 2 weeks. I just couldn’t cope. I litterally thought I was nothing without my friends whom I didn’t personally know, except from online. I felk like someone beautiful and in control, being dolled up every night. (My Avitar, that is). Now my polyester pants are starting to look like someone who walked out of an elderly woman’s magazine, which depresses me.

My husband noticed how down I had been. While at the same time he was over joyed that for the time being the computer had died. I came home from work one night and found in my office, my computer back and running like new. Beside my desk, there were two packages with a note on top that read:

“My belived wife, whom I seem to have already lost. You fill find enclosed in these boxes, a sexy outfit for you to go out with me tonight. So you may have the time of your life. In the other is lingerie, for you to prance around in for me, after our date is finished. If these to not meet your needs, you may return to your computer and be sheltered from society, your real life, and me.”

Needless to say, I did have the time of my life that night, and it didn’t end there. Now, instead of being online to escape my life, my husband and I shop for new costumes and lingerie for “our” new life together.

Entertainment Brought to You by the Letter ‘E’

Posted by: karrinascostumetalk on: July 10, 2009

I’ve taken on a new roll in my life. For the summer time parents send their children to a recreational program, while they are at work. It’s great so their kids are still able to learn, while at the same time have fun during their summer break from regular classrooms. This week is alphabet and numbers week. Most children do not get overly excited about numbers, and letters. So I had to figure out a way to help them learn and have fun. This task was difficult, I turned to the Internet.

It didn’t take me long to find out the perfect solution. I stumbled upon sesame street costumes for the kids! I knew they all have watched the show, the schools’ used it at a learning tool, and as a reward for their students. Without discussion, I quickly ordered some Bert, Ernie, Cookie Monster, Oscar the Grouch, and a few more character costumes. May I add at a good price for our summer budget. I was eager to show the kids what fun was in store for them this week.

We started by putting numbers on each of the costumes, having each child draw a number to see which sesame street character they get to be for the week. I made the mistake before trying to have them pick out their own items, and it just turns into chaos and a fight. This way they all feel special, getting their costume, and using numbers. It didn’t take no time for them to put on their new sesame street costumes. One little Elmo started to sing “It’s easy as A.B.C., and 1.2.3. . . ” these children will say and do the most random things. I couldn’t help but smile, and encourage him on.

During this week our sesame street gang sang “The alphabet song, with Elmo”, “Fiest sings 1,2,3,4″, with a special guest, The Count helped count cookies, while the little cookie monsters ate them. We also put on a play of singing and dancing for the parents at the end of the week. I couldn’t believe how sensational our alphabet and numbers week turned out. All because of some great costumes, and a little imagination. I’m going to have to work extra hard to try and top off what joy Sesame Street brought our little ones.

The Dog Parade

Posted by: anna on: July 7, 2009

In the neighborhood that I live in, everyone dresses their dogs up in a costume for Halloween. For those who do not have pets, they become the judge to determine the winner. The categories that they have for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places are: Scariest dog, Prettiest dog, Ugliest dog, and Most Original dog. Most of my fellow neighbors have small dogs. However, this year I just adopted a Great Pyrenees.

I had no clue what kind of costume I was going to put on my 150 pound monster! Come to find out that was not my only problem. He is very friendly and he loves to play with other dogs. No matter how much I train, yell, or pull on his lead, he always winds up with the other dogs somehow. So I was determined to work hard every day so that he knows that I am the one he has to listen to even though he wants to play so much more.

My first idea was to dress him up as Zorro. Not such a great idea, he riped it right off and went along with his day. Each passing day, I kept training him to stay with me and not run off. As well as kept trying to get him to keep costumes on his body. I tried my best not to let my neighbors or competitors I should say, see me struggle. Of coarse you’ve gotta be careful cause they will hire little spy’s (their children) to come and see what costume you have so they know they don’t have the same one or to make sure they can top what you have in order to win.

I finally found a way to dress my dog up with out him riping off his pet costume. I decided to dress him as Clifford, the Big Red Dog. I dyed his fur Red with pet safe vegetable dye. And I put a collar on him that said Clifford. This was the only way for him not to rip it off. It finally came time to parade around out lovely pates. My dog seemed to have really caught on to the idea that he was supposed to stay with me. He did very well as it all started off, holding his head high, and wagging his tail. I was very pleased with my Big Red Dog. We saw lots of different costumes such as superman, or “super dog” would be more appropriate. Raggedy Ann, a princess, a convict dog and many more.

All of a sudden out of nowhere a man came running and grabbed my camera right out of my hand. As he took off, my dressed up Clifford bolted after him, knocking him into the kiddie pool used to the dogs to take a drink. The man got up and my dog got in the pool turning the water red. My dog was just barking and growling at this man, and every thought since the water was turning red that the man was bleeding. Talking about an uproar. As my big half red dog leaped out of the pool and shook off, the man was pleading, and stated that he would gladly stay there in the pool until the police arrived. The judges added a new category this hear. “The Hero”

Night Moves

379_fvYou have passed by the lingerie window displays in the mall, or glanced at a catalog, and admired the graceful fall of sheer fabric, or the sleek fit of leather. You may have actually bought a sexy set of lingerie, which now rests in the back of your closet, or at the bottom of your drawer. Why aren’t you using that lingerie to enhance your bedroom experience?

To dress revealingly in public is easy. It gets you a lot of attention, but no real consequences for your wardrobe choices. It’s a tease without the repercussions. However, dressing provocatively for the bedroom implies a willingness to follow through with what your attire is promising. Wearing sexy lingerie for your significant other implies that you understand that it is, ultimately, going to come off.

Now, you must confront your feelings of self-worth, body image, sexuality, and the trust you have in your partner. To dress alluringly invites critique, and exposes your vulnerability which can cause great anxiety, unless you are at peace with yourself and accept your own flaws and imperfections. The woman who is sexually self-confident can share herself freely with her partner. Remember that “sexy” is an attitude, and has virtually nothing to do with how you look. Warmth, passion, and a willingness to share WHO you are; these are the building blocks of a healthy attitude toward intimacy. Believe in your own desirablility. The sexiest and most desirable women are those whose attitude says “This is who I am. I’m comfortable with that, and I’m happy to share it with you.”

Look again at that sexy lingerie in your drawer and see it for what it really is. It doesn’t represent the perfect you. It decorates the REAL you. Strut your stuff!

Life Getting Too Busy, With No Time for the Bedroom?

Posted by: anna on: June 11, 2009

6-11-2009 3-00-46 PMWork, sleep, get up and start all over again.  Does this sound like you?

This has been my life for the past six months now.  With the economy the way it is, it has forced me to pick up a second job to help pay the bills.  Since all it seems I do is non stop work for 7 days a week, when it comes to the bedroom, it’s strictly sleep time. It’s a nightmare that never ends.

Using the bedroom just for sleep after a long day at work doesn’t only remind you of your stressful day ahead once you get up, but also rubs in your sexual frustration, which in return makes you feel even more run down and useless at times. I know that I’m not the only one that feels this way. The feeling of living the same day over and over again. Many people these days are in a crazy non stop busy life style that completely takes you over, leaving no enjoyment in your life.

Alas! I do believe I have found the cure. I finally decided I have had enough of no pleasure, which lead to a major decrease in my happiness. So, I made myself start to bring some action back into the bedroom.  After, I had done so, I still had an empty spot that wasn’t being filled. I also was not as excited about the situation as I had anticipated.

I was checking my email one morning before work, and came across a website for lingerie. May I say very well priced for our hard times we are facing. I figured it surely couldn’t hurt anything by ordering a couple of sexy pick me ups. After my package had arrived, I started the day off sending my husband a few love texts to get him ready for our big night, not letting him aware of what I had in store for him. To my surprise I was already in a better mood, just thinking about it. Later at home that night, I tried out my new sexy style. My husband was very into it, which left us both satisfied.

Now, he sends me text messages during the day to try and figure which piece of lingerie I an going to show off for him that night. So, no matter how busy you are or how dull the bedroom can seem. Make time, and get some sexy lingerie. You can even dig out some that you already have to put that spark back in your love life. Not only to make yourself feel better, and put the magic back into your relationship.

Make your busy days and hard work worth while.  :)

Peace Negotiations: Ideas for Saying “I’m Sorry”

Posted by: karrinascostumetalk on: May 11, 2009

5-11-2009 10-26-29 AM

Gentlemen, we need to talk.  Actually, WE will talk and you need to listen.

Sometimes, it starts out as a tiny little frown,  tugging at the corners of her mouth.  Sometimes it’s not noticeable until you walk past her, and temperature in the room plummets to near freezing, and you swear you can see your breath.  And sometimes, just when you think everything is going along fine, without warning, there is an explosion of galactic proportions, that will melt your socks and weld your dangly bits to the chair.  The reaction depends on several factors, including but not limited to, the phase of the moon, the last remark you made about her mother, and whether or not you remembered to put the seat down this morning.  The cause, however, is always the same.  You.  You screwed up.  You either said something uncaring and insensitive, you forgot something vital, or, you didn’t notice something important that should have been obvious to you.  The point is, you have angered the Goddess, and now you have to deal with it.

Here are a few “Don’ts”, just to save you further pain:

  1. She will NOT consider your indignation as righteous, and it will just piss her off even more.
  2. Michael Staver, the author of 21 Ways to Defuse Anger and Calm People Down says, “She filters that as being disrespectful and not listening, which ticks her off all the more.”
  3. Look at her, and you show her that you are giving her the attention and respect that she deserves.
  4. However, if your pillow and blanket have been moved to the couch, or she meets you at the bedroom door in a wetsuit, you are in really deep doo-doo.

Here is a list of suggestions to help you get off HER list.

Consider making your gift “offense-specific”.  If you are in trouble for not noticing the extra effort she made to look good for you, or you missed a hint that she needed some attention, think about ways to make her feel like she’s a star!  Breakfast in bed, treating her to a spa day, cancelling an event that she knows is important to you, and scheduling a date night instead; all of these tell her that her feelings matter to you.

Is she feeling “unattractive” and you have compounded that by making some offhand comment about her appearance?  Your make up gift should be something that tells her that you love the way she looks.  This is the perfect opportunity to buy her sexy lingerie that tells her how much you love her body.  Pick a feature.  Choose a garment that accents that feature.  If you have trouble deciding, don’t be afraid to ask a consultant to help you with your purchase.  They know their merchandise, and will be able to help you find that perfect apology gift.

No matter what gift you give her, remember, the one thing she wants more than anything else is to hear you say “I’m sorry”.  Even if you feel that you did nothing wrong, or that she is overreacting, the fact remains that she feels hurt or slighted, and you need her to know that you are sorry that she feels that way.

Five Types of Love

Posted by: karrinascostumetalk on: May 6, 2009

5-6-2009-3-59-26-pmWe know that men are from Mars and women are from Venus, siblings have rivalries, and jealous competition exists in every workplace.  Luckily, author Dr. Gary Chapman wrote a book titled The Five Love Languages.  During his 30 years of experience as a marriage counselor, Chapman identified 5 types of love languages. His book is focused on marriage and helping spouses communicate more effectively and express their love to each other in a way that can be received effectively.  Chapman’s findings about the different types of love languages can be applied to all relationships and all people. By understanding a person’s primary love language we can better meet the needs of the people in our lives and convey the appropriate message.  The Five Types of Love are:

  • Physical Touch
  • Spending Time
  • Buying Gifts
  • Acts of Service
  • Words of Encouragement

I can remember when I was younger I would trade punches with the boys and my mother would joke that it meant I had a crush on the boy I was hitting; she believed that was my way of flirting.

My sister is predominately a spending time type of person. She feels like people care about her if they come to watch her play basketball or ride to the store with her. She doesn’t care to be touched or even talked to, just as long as you are in the same room and spending some quality time with her, she is satisfied.

There is no doubt that my brother is a gifts person. The moment I walk in the door he wants to know if I brought him anything. When we were kids he used to steal things from the family and wrap them up as gifts to give to each of us, because he enjoys giving and receiving presents.  Once he wrapped up our old Halloween decorations to give as Easter presents.

My mother is an acts of service person.  She doesn’t want you to buy her anything, she doesn’t like to be touched, and words are meaningless to her.  My mom would much rather me do the dishes or take out the trash as a way to show her that I love her.

Unfortunately, my ex-husband was a  words of encouragement person. He needed to be told how great he was several times a day in order to  feel loved.  This was a type of love that I had never been familiar with and caused a lot of problems within our relationship.  I guess I’m more of a pessimist and have a bad habit of pointing out the negative things of a situation with the hope that it will motivate improvement in the future; however, to  a words of encouragement person, constant criticism with no follow up praise can make them feel unloved and unappreciated.

It’s beneficial to recognize the type of person that you are and what the needs are for the people around you also. If you can establish in what areas you are lacking, improvements can be made to meet the needs of the people around you and to be aware of your own feelings and why your needs aren’t being met.

Inappropriate Viewing Material?

Posted by: karrinascostumetalk on: April 20, 2009

Here in the United States we have a television and movie content ratings systems in place to help a parent gauge whether a child is ready to handle the material and/or dialogue in a movie.  However these ratings systems seem to be geared to primarily censor healthy and normal nakedness.

Let’s be clear . . . we are not talking sex here, just nudity.  We think nothing of seeing a television program with gunshots, dead bodies, blood gore and crime. All on prime time television programming. (I’m talking to you CSI) But if they slip up and show a nipple or the unthinkable testicle? Those are unthinkable acts that would get the television programmers sued to kingdom come.

Really? Why is violence and gore a-ok but a nude breast is a hangable offence?

This rally makes no sense to me. I would much rather my child see a nude body than watch a woman murdered and autopsied. Does that make me a bad person? I am far more offended by the offhanded remarks made about criminal acts than I would ever be by the sight of the nude human form.

Other countries are much different in this regard. Television programs air with naked bottoms tops and even frontals. All on normal every day programming. Sure you’ll se the American shows too. But generally speaking they will be at a later time to shield the kiddies delicate eyes.

Is it really a wonder why our children grow up so fast and violent, the television and movies they watch are filled with it.

Do yourselves a favor, turn off the TV and talk to your kids. They’ll benefit more from what you teach them than what they get from the warm loving glow of the television.
