Twenties Wedding Dress from Lindsay Fleming - Clara. Clara was inspired by the most iconic twenties style, the 'flapper'. Perfect for any girl wanting to ''charleston' or 'bunny hop', Clara is made from sandwashed silk crepe, with a deep band of pale gold embroidery embellished with AB crystals around a dropped waist. The AB crystals are also around the neckline, shoulder straps and down back. However the most stunning part of the design is the 'handkerchief' skirt made from 20mtrs of pure silk tulle, which gives the dress an uneven hemline reminiscent of the 'roaring twenties', which floats elegantly as you walk.

As with all Lindsay Fleming designs, Clara can be changed to suit your own taste. For example many clients have preferred to have their dress made with silver or coloured embroidery. To discuss this and other options available contact a designer. The headdress 'Deco', used in many of the images on this page can also be purchased.

Big Red Shrug pattern by Sarah Wilson. The oversized knits gracing fall catwalks this season inspired me to design an easy, roomy shrug with grand sleeves, bold cables and easy construction. Just cast on, knit, cast off, and wear! What could be chicer than that? I settled on the name “Big Red” because I can picture Little Red Riding Hood trading in her cape for this after she’s all grown up and found a fashion sense! This shrug is worked in one piece from side to side, being cast on at one cuff and bound off at the other.

The size given here should fit shoulders up to 16” wide – if you have particularly wide shoulders, or if you would like a roomier shrug, you can achieve a better fit by adding an extra repeat of the cable pattern while you are knitting the back. Size Adult; one size fits most shoulders –pattern includes notes regarding fit for shoulders wider than 16” Actual Measurements 40” long x 26” wide Materials Gauge 16 sts/24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette Knitting one of your own?

Ann Mayburn's (Kinky) Playlist. I've always loved dark, moody and powerful music for writing my intense sex scenes. The hard bass, the melody that tugs at your soul and stirs your heart, and the beat that drives your lovers body into your own. Whew, excuse me for a second while I take a cold shower. For sex scenes with BDSM and D/s elements I always put on Nine Inch Nails. It is utterly, absolutely, perfect for putting me in the mood for a good, hard f...well, you know. ;) We're not talking making love with sighs and cuddles, or sex with a little slap me on the ass and call me Sally. Yum. In my upcoming 1 Night Stand story, Bound for Pleasure, Lara Hernandez has been given the gift of a strong and powerful Alpha male that will be her submissive for the night. Below is a list of some of the Nine Inch Nails songs I listened to while writing 'Bound for Pleasure'.
