![]() Clearly this is not the case for everyone, but when I place a vibrator inside of me, unless it has some kind of movement or is up against my G-Spot, I can barely feel anything. Out of the two similar products that I’ve tried (being the OVO R1 and ZALO Amorette), I liked neither, though it was less the products fault and more that I just don’t think they work for my body. Now, full disclaimer, I’m not the biggest fan of these types of toys. The larger vibrating end is intended to be placed inside of you, which may or may not stimulate your G-Spot depending on your anatomy, whilst the flexible tail hangs outside so that you may control the toy using the button on the end of it. ![]() The Lovense Lush 2, if we take away all its fancy tech for a moment, is a very simple example of an internal vaginal vibrator, which is most commonly referred to as a love egg. The Lush 2’s tail is completely flexible, but this is how it looks normally. Then, while the Lush 2 is currently their flagship product, they also have many other vibrators, such as wands and rabbits, and even a masturbator. Since I am no longer a cam girl, however, I won’t be reviewing these aspects of the toy today, and instead will be looking at it from a non-sex work perspective. Through this you can then access a massive range of features, from tip-based vibrations (which they also hold the patent for), to chat room notifications, personalised games, and live control. In fact, they offer an entire downloadable program for free at their website that’s dedicated to allowing their products to be integrated with all major cam sites. ![]() Lovense’s products don’t just work well with camming, like other toys from other brands might, but are designed specifically for it. But while they excel at this, it is really the company’s relationship with the online sex work community where they have made a name for themselves. Established in Hong Kong in 2009 when the founder was in a long-distance relationship and looking for ways to remain intimate with his partner, wireless control is at the centre of the Lovense brand. I’ve spoken about teledildonics many times at the blog, and Lovense are one of the companies firmly leading the charge for it. But while it’s obvious that Lovense have made their toy almost a necessity for streamers, what I’m left wondering is whether it’s actually worth it for the rest of us. Visit any cam site and you’ll immediately see it featured on the streams of countless performers (just look out for the little pink string), as they all take advantage of the product’s integrated room features and token-based vibrations. Why? Well, even if you don’t know anything about sex toys, chances are you’ve seen this one before, because it is absolutely massive in the cam performers community. ![]() But even though this upgrade came out all the way back in 2018, it remains one of the most popular sex toys out there. The Lovense Lush 2 was sent to me by the wonderful folks over at JOUJOU, and was the hotly awaited follow-up to the legendary Lush vibrator. In fact, not only has this particular item garnered a lot of attention since I announced I was testing it, but it has also been one of my most requested toys for years now. That’s why the Lush bullet vibrator will always have a strong connection, without all the typical Bluetooth connection issues.Lovense, Reviews, Silicone, USB Rechargeable, Vibrators Review: Lovense Lush 2Īfter such a long year, it seemed only right I started 2021 off with one of my most anticipated reviews.

![]() Use the corners of this tool to help you draw and create your initial outlines,” says Dinh. “Create the initial outline with electric edgers instead of your traditional razor. Locate your Adam's Apple, and the width of two fingers above the Adam’s Apple is where the bottom of the beard neckline should be.” Create Your Beard Neckline Outline and Shave Your Beard Below “I recommend the Adam’s Apple method, and it makes the look easy to achieve at home," says. ![]() Try the ‘Adam’s Apple’ or ‘double chin’ method. While every stylist approaches these steps differently, New York City barber and hair stylist Kayley Pak, reveals finding the bottom of your beard line should be fairly easy. Remember to start the process with a freshly cleaned face, tools, and hands to help prevent breakouts. Sucking in your cheeks will help you determine that line, by laying the pencil or ruler into the shallowest part of the crevice, connecting the tragus of your ear to the corner of your mouth.” “The most flattering line for the top of your beard will fall approximately from the tragus of your ear to the corner of your mouth, where your lips separate. Find the deepest crevice of your cheekbones by standing in front of a mirror, and sucking in your cheeks,” advises Mia Dinh, Barber, Technician and General Manager, Hammer & Nails Grooming Shop for Guys. “To determine the proper outline of a beard, begin with a full-length pencil or ruler. To avoid positioning your beard neckline too high (that’s awkward,) take a close look at your facial features and position. “I always recommend shaving with the grain, after using a warm towel or after a shower.”įirst, decide on your desired beard shape (round or square) and outline the top and bottom of your neckline. “If you have your beard neckline confidently determined, then you're ready to go,” offers Dr. The beard tools and products laid out on your bathroom counter should include: a hydrating facial cleanser, a pencil (for eyeballing measurement) razor, trimmer, clippers, and beard oil. This includes everything you’ll need for prep, execution, and post-shave care. In preparation for trimming your beard neckline at home, look around your medicine cabinet and dig through dopp kits to gather all the necessary products and tools. Are you hoping to emerge with a sharper jawline, or looking to lengthen the appearance of your neck? Or maybe you’re on a mission to simply clean up a beard that you’ve recently let grow in. Just have an idea of the look and goal you’re trying to achieve-it’s always a good idea to pull a few inspirational photos. While your barber could help with the challenge, with just a few steps, you can feel confident shedding a few stands in the comfort of your bathroom. We’re talking about finding and defining your beard neckline. So, let’s say you’ve achieved the enviable feat, what now? It’s time to find your neckline and get in shape, and we’re not talking about working out (that’s a different story, for another time). Over the last year, many of us have become intimately familiar with the depth, breath, and phases of personal grooming- some guys even tried biohacking their way to a fuller beard. ![]() ![]() There are few characteristics quite as sharp (and dare we say alluring) on a man than a well-defined and well-groomed beard. ![]() All of the food was amazing! We used the bartending services and got dinnerware/linen rentals through Cohost as well. We did not have a cake, so we got dessert from Pleasant Grove Pies and Dandelion Cheesecakes. It was all true though! We chose appetizers from The Porch, and the main course/sides from Pecan Lodge. I found Cohost online and thought it sounded too good to be true. Before Cohost we met with several vendors that could provide some of the services we needed but not all of them. I love the Cohost concept and I'm so happy to have a caterer to use in the future! Lee - Client 2019Ĭohost was the perfect caterer for our wedding! I really wanted to feature food from our favorite restaurants in Dallas instead of the typical boring chicken and steak options. We had around 30 people and everyone was raving about the food and service. The food (from The Porch) was excellent and Wayne and Eric were awesome. We hired Cohost to cater my dad's 70th birthday and everything was wonderful! I communicated with Barnabas to pick the menu and other details and he was great to work with. I'd highly recommend using Cohost as a caterer for any event! Morgan - Bride 2019 The guests were well fed, hydrated, and never waiting too long for an adult beverage. We were able to order several items from Cohost which was extremely helpful and convenient - servers, bartenders, linens, glassware, silverware, and more! The staff and bartenders were very friendly and did an outstanding job on our wedding day. I feel that every staff member I talked to was super helpful, easy to communicate with, and open to providing their input if needed. ![]() We booked Cohost as our caterer on our wedding day. You will not regret it!! Ashley - Bride 2017 They were patient with us as we worked through all of the details. No matter who I spoke with at the company, they were all able to get me answers or help with advice. The Cohost team was so easy to work with, and they were very responsive through e-mail and phone. Both were amazing and the presentation was beautiful. Our wedding went off without a snag and they gave us exactly what we expected and then some! We were able to do our cocktail food from The Porch and our dinner from Slow Bone BBQ. Cohost was so wonderful to work with! Talk about a company who has their stuff together! Not only do they do business with some of the best restaurants in the area, they are just absolute pros at what they do. ![]() I’m always working in the context of contemporary art, and that context is all about whether I can be involved in events that manage to trigger a cognitive revolution.” As Murakami explains: “When I work on a creative production, I make no distinction between digital and analog. ![]() The works at Gagosian translate the digitally modeled NFTs into meticulously detailed, hand-painted portraits and full-scale figurative sculptures-physical manifestations of art created for the metaverse. Clone X is a series of NFT avatars conceived as three-dimensional figures bearing the artist’s distinctive motifs. Murakami’s presentation at 976 Madison Avenue consists of works based on the Clone X NFT initiative (2021), which he developed in collaboration with RTFKT Studios. This will be Murakami’s first exhibition at Gagosian in New York since 2014 and represents his return to 980 Madison Avenue, where he had his inaugural exhibition with the gallery in 2007. In addition, visitors on-site can activate numerous custom Snapchat Lenses to view augmented-reality animations in each gallery and on the building’s exterior. The immersive viewing experience, created by RTFKT and Oncyber, is accessible online via or through a VR headset and allows access to the entire exhibition from anywhere in the world. An Arrow through History incorporates Gagosian’s first use of virtual reality, featuring a digital rendering of the 976 and 980 Madison Avenue galleries. ![]() In three simultaneous presentations spanning two of Gagosian’s New York galleries, at 976 and 980 Madison Avenue, Murakami bridges the physical and digital realms. Gagosian is pleased to present An Arrow through History, an exhibition of new works by Takashi Murakami, opening on May 11, 2022. Japanese culture originally came from the Eurasian continent, and my concept has been to go beyond from there into the metaverse, shooting through the history of art with a single arrow. The analytical works carried out in the Bell laboratories, at the instigation of Max Mathews, have revealed that certain remarkable properties of audition could be used in order to produce extremely confusing sound effects. 5 The creation of computer-assisted sound synthesis marks a turning point in the history of auditory illusions. 4 Throughout his entire career, Warren focus remained on phenomena of an illusory nature, especially the continuity and completion effects. ![]() In the 1960s, Richard Warren highlights the verbal transformation phenomena: when syllables or words are quickly repeated in a loop, listeners perceive semantic changes, effects that are related to the variability of perception under conditions of invariable sensory stimulation. ![]() 3 Authors do not describe this phenomenon in terms of illusion, but as the “ PicketFence” effect, which will later be given new labels: barrier, tunnel, continuity effect. In the early 1950s, based on a speech that had been sectioned a dozen times per second, George Miller and Joseph Licklider realized that the speech is once again intelligible and seems continuous when loud noises are added into the gaps. It is only in the 20th century, and especially in its second half, with the emergence of magnetic tape recording, that auditory illusions began to be scientifically studied by several psychologists. They later thrived upon Max Mathews’ 1957 development of computer sound synthesis. ![]() Their elaboration can originally be connected to the development of sound reproduction techniques, beginning with Thomas Edison’s invention of the phonograph in 1877. Wessel and Jean-Claude Risset, “Les illusions auditives,” in Claude Malric (ed.), Musique (.)ĥ As compared to optical illusions, which have been studied for centuries, auditory illusions have emerged more recently. 9 To learn more on Albert Bregman’s researches and listen to sound samples, see: Albert S.8 Diana Deutsch, Musical Illusions and Paradoxes, Philomel Records, 001, 1995.6 Jean-Claude Risset, “Composer le son : expériences avec l’ordinateur, 1964-1989,” Contrechamps, no.5 To learn more on Warren’s researches and listen to sound samples, please refer to: Richard M.Warren, “Auditory Illusions and Confusions,” Scientific American, v (.) Licklider, “The intelligibility of interrupted speech,” Journal o (.) This is the reason why we are interested in reflecting on the development of a typology that would cover all unusual sound phenomena, to ultimately better define what would really fall within illusion (among others), but also paradox. About Rhys Chatham’s Narcissus Descending, Johnson refers to auditory illusion, because this music “plays tricks” and invites listeners to be “pleasantly fooled.” Can we really talk about auditory illusion in this precise case? This expression has several meanings and is often used to refer to a whole range of sound phenomena that are more or less enigmatic and mystifying, though not necessarily illusory in the strict sense of the word. Nowadays, they still suffer from a certain form of ignorance, although they have been scientifically studied since the 1950s and increasingly examined from a musical perspective. 1Ģ As noted by Johnson, auditory illusions are not as widespread and well-known as optical ones. Tom Johnson, 17 August 1972, about Rhys Chatham’s Narcissus Descending. In the meantime, we can just listen and be pleasantly mystified. ![]() Maybe someday there will be a musical equivalent of Josef Albers, who will work out a theory to explain how they happen. We know quite a bit about optical illusions, but I have never heard the term “aural illusions.” For some reason no one seems very interested in these phenomena, but they certainly exist, at least in electronic pieces like this one. But I have the feeling that illusions of this nature will always be created when pure electronic tones are sustained in a context of this nature. Of course, it could be that as my ears become more accustomed to hearing music like this they will stop playing these weird tricks on me. And often I could tell that something was changing, but would not be able to hear exactly what it was. Sometimes one of the overtones would change its color and it would sound like everything else was changing too. Sometimes it was hard to tell if one thing was getting softer or if another thing was getting louder. Sometimes I found it hard to focus on some aspect of the sound which I knew, simply by the logic of what was going on, was acoustically present. 1 Tom Johnson, The Voice of new music (New York City 1972-1982, A collection of articles originally p (.)ġ Perhaps the most fascinating thing about this kind of one-note music is not the little changes which the composer causes in the sound, but the additional ones which somehow seem to happen in one’s ear. ![]() ![]() “Fresh frying fat makes all the difference,” Julia wrote when she had tasted it. Kan’s selections began with barbecued spareribs, served as an hors d’oeuvre, and progressed to fried squid. Kan seemed to think it impolite to reply orally to a written message. Bishop explained that this wasn’t really necessary, since Julia could hear perfectly well, but Mrs. Kan took the pad and pen and wrote out her reply. She was not supposed to use her voice, and she was communicating with facial expressions, gestures, and notes written with a felt-tip pen on a white pad. At a cocktail party following one of the demonstrations, she had swallowed an hors d’oeuvre that contained a very hot pepper, and a doctor she consulted seemed to think this might have been the cause of it. ![]() She had lost her voice two days before, in Seattle, where she had given a series of four cooking demonstrations for the benefit of St. “Julia would like it if you ordered for all of us,” Mrs. At length, the Child party was seated at a large table near the center of a big, elegant second-floor room that overlooks the city’s Chinese quarter. Kan was deeply honored by the presence in her restaurant of Julia Child, whose television show, “The French Chef,” is well known in San Francisco, but also deeply distressed, for she had not expected the visit. Kan, the proprietor, hastening to the scene, exchanged ceremonious greetings with Paul and Julia Child and was introduced to Rosemary Manell and Elizabeth Bishop, who would be assisting Julia throughout the next week in a series of cooking demonstrations for the benefit of the Presbyterian Hospital in San Francisco. Chinese waiters flew about in response to his urgent commands. One table was too small, another too far from the windows. The headwaiter at Kan’s could not decide immediately where to seat the Child party. ![]() She ran “git rebase –interactive origin/master” and marked every commit as “pick,” except commit ‘ e‘, which she marked with “drop”.
