FIFTY SHADES OF GREY

FIFTY SHADES OF GREY.LAID IT ON THE LINE. had everyone talking. Sold a trillion (???) copies like The Story of O (going back more than a few years.) it really topped the charts. And more than a few writers have jumped on the bandwagon. Good on them. It provides readers with some pretty steamy escapism, adding a bit of spice to the mix surely adds to the flavour.

 Probably quite a few would disagree with me here. When I argue that It’s not all about sex. In our society sex makes the world go round Sex sells:  Sexy car, chick or guy magnet, fashion, lingerie, aftershave. You name it SEX SELLS IT. If you don’t drive a Porshe, wear a size 8, look like Elle Mcpherson or at least wear Victoria’s Secret underwear how can you be sexy? And if you don’t feel, look & act sexy you’re a loser. Right? 

This is one of the issues I’ve addressed in A Hint of Darkness & The Journey of Emmaline: female image. It’s not all about proving how sexy you are so that you will be worthy of love. Sex can be a one night stand or a pleasure you share with someone special.

LOVE is the real four letter word. It’s the one that can really bring you undone. So many forms of love  & all so powerful: lover , companion, friend, mother, father, child. You don’t have to be a sex goddess to give & receive love.  And first & foremost, love yourself.
