5 Minutes
Written by a lady to her potential lover:
Just as instructed in the email – you patiently sit at the bar of Whiskey Blue located inside the W Hotel in Beverly Hills. Scores of beautiful people around you flirting, sipping & laughing. A few incredibly beautiful women looking at you as if they’d eat you all up in just two bites. A couple of men stealing glances at you wondering if you’d let them….but all you do is gaze around to see if you will be able to spot me walking in before I do you. While taking another sip of your vodka soda, an envelope suddenly appears in front of you, on the bar. You look around to see who could have set it there but there is no one close enough to have done it. You wonder….wtf?! There are no markings on the plain envelope. You take it into your hands for a look closer. You notice that the flap has been left unglued. There are a few things inside. You spill the envelope’s contents onto the bar. Out falls a deep red velvet blindfold, an iPod w/earphones and a small card embellished with a bit of gold that reads:
In five minutes from when you finish reading this note – get up & leave the bar (do not worry about your bill, it will be taken care of) – walk through the front door of the hotel lobby, stand outside but a few feet from the entrance – do not look around. The valet will then approach you and ask you for your car keys - give it to him – he will take care of your car. He will then instruct you to follow him. When you come to that specific location he will leave you after which you will place the earphones in your ears turn ipod on (do not adjust the volume) put the blindfold on, and wait. If you are late - it will be the end.
Putting the card down you look up around the room searching for me but nothing – you have but five minutes to decide.
Watching Me….
…I suddenly notice you silently watching but 6 feet away from me slightly surprised but secretly hoping you witness everything as I lick my lips savoring the beautiful sweet taste of him…he groans, his hands tightly gripping my calves almost bruising….I look up gazing into your eyes commanding you not turn away…pay attention!…as I pull his head back, thick dark hair thru my fingers…his mouth soft & wet on my….

Obsession: “Twilight”
This was in response to a posting in Barnes & Noble website regarding the surrounding & growing obsession with “Twilight” by Stephanie Meyers
I don’t know if there is such a thing as a “healthy obsession” but just as long as it doesn’t immobilize you then I think you’re good.
There are many “older women” who enjoy the book but just aren’t so open about their interest for fear of being judged. You have a 22-yr. old actor on screen but do not forget that the character’s soul is more than half a century old! After all, it’s not all about the physical power or beauty (although it helps) that is captivating but more so the inner flame that burns within Edward & Bella. Not to mention their surrender to that fire. It’s what we all dream about, have been dreaming about. To be able to let go and live with more passion than we allow ourselves these days. It is difficult because of society’s and let’s face it, self-imposed constraints. BUT who says we can’t?! Self-control is difficult when we do not believe in ourselves but easily within reach if we do.
So are we really obsessed with the book, the movie, the actors or the feelings invoked by…?

Sneak Peek: Brandon Trentham
Brandon Trentham is known to be one of the most down-to-earth top male models out there. I first took notice of Brandon while I was browsing the internet for personalities to write about. Brandon’s is one of those personas that jump right out at you with much inspiration & drive to succeed. As I am researching more about him, the more I am impressed not only with the work he has done as a top male model but with the goals he has set for himself and with his passion for charity work. Click on the link & witness his giving nature first-hand by joining his team for AIDS WALK Los Angeles. And for proof that he is more than just a “pretty face”, check out his article: “Ronnell Shaw: The man behind upcoming men’s denim line Tysen Maxwell speaks” for Stylecaster.com. And so now I leave you with this little sneak peek at this beautiful man, Mr. Brandon Trentham. Let’s keep our eyes on him as he is just beginning!
“I was a young man with nothing to lose, but countless things to gain.” Trentham added. “Life is sometimes about chances and those who don’t take them may always wonder what if and I did not want to live my life with regrets.”

“Sognare Con Me” ~ “Dream With Me”

Working to breathe “Femmina Forte” to life has definitely been quite the journey thus far. Many have asked how the idea or dream of Femmina Forte came about and to tell you the truth, I am not sure I can fully nor accurately describe it. It was never one shining moment of revelation it was more a series of events, sporadic in occurrences, all leading to one dream. Even ’til this very day, Femmina Forte is ever-changing and evolving but with the one vision of living “her” life’s ultimate potential still in sight.
This story is a long one but one that I do promise to share with you soon. For now, know that I passionately believe that Femmina Forte lies in all of us. Some perhaps need inspiration to realize this dormant strength and a little encouragement to awaken. Then there are those, many out there, who already openly live this. It is those hearts and souls I seek out and will bring forth as the Inspiration WE ALL need.
