Basileia – Greek Goddess of the Courtesan was the daughter of Uranus (no sniggering at the back) and then there’s Bebhinn, in Irish mythology, Bebhinn was The Goddess of Pleasure and the name actually means beautiful woman or fair lady.

Ishtar is the Babylonian goddess of Love and War, embodied in the two aspects of the planet Venus–as Evening Star, She brings lovers to celebration and bed; and as the Morning Star, She brings the fiery sword of War. She represents one of the many faces of the ancient Near Eastern Great Goddess, among them the Phoenicians  Asherat or Ashtoreth (in Greek Astarte) and Anat, Sumerian Inanna, Phrygian Cybele, and Greek Aphrodite , most of whom share legends of dying and resurrected lovers.

As goddess of love and sex, Ishtar is the force that draws mates together and brings fertility, both for humans and animals. She is goddess of Courtesans, and sacred prostitution was part of Her cult. She is Herself a harlot who took many lovers.

As goddess of war, Ishtar takes part in battle and is shown standing on the back of a lion bearing bow and arrows. She was known for a fiery and fickle temper which usually spelled doom for Her lovers. (Oh dear!)

One of Ishtar’s lovers was the grain-god Tammuz (who still has a Jewish month named after Him). He died young (as the grain is cut just as it reaches the perfection of ripeness), and some legends imply that Ishtar had a hand in His death. But Ishtar was inconsolable and determined to fetch him back from the Underworld. At each of the seven gates of the Land of the Dead Ishtar, like Inanna, was required to give over an article of clothing or jewelry until finally She came naked and humbled before Her sister Queen Ereshkigal, who then imprisoned Ishtar.

The world mourned for the lost goddess of love, and Her father Sin the Moon God sent an envoy armed with powerful magic who successfully rescued Her. Tammuz was eventually also brought back to live in the land of the gods. The descent of Ishtar was celebrated annually in Babylonian lands.

No by my lovely lady photographer. I have to spend the next few days looking them over and I shall pick eight that I like.  I have had a quick look before she left and there is one that stands out and I think it will be my favourite.  There is always one, you know, one that becomes your favourite.  The last photoshoot I had with her, this one became my favourite.

I loved it so much I put it everywhere!  Some fellas have said they prefer other pics in my gallery, thats good, nice to have some variety.  Thats why I had my last lot taken in New York but I didnt like them as much as my London photographer’s efforts, see if you can tell the difference.

You will have to be patient for a few days  though my sweetpeas, for the new ones, but I think (hope) you will like them.  They will be added to my gallery too so the old ones wont disappear, just more for you to look at. x

I have joined the most fantastic new gym as well.  I havent been for a few weeks, to the gym, what with moving and moving in, all that stuff.  But now I am well and truly settled, everything in place, I have to get down that gym tomorrow.  I have been keeping fit though.  Ive been walking a lot, lot more than I would have in Plymouth.  I used to just jump in the car but as said car is no more, it is shanks’ pony for me.  Its done me good, a nice bit of cardiovascular and all that.  Problem is that as you walk you get whiffs….  of  lovely Chinese food or Thai food.  Oh My God.  I have resisted though (only because I am going to Chinatown over the weekend :)

I went to Covent Garden today, for lunch (thank you kind Sir x) and I popped into the saucy Coco de Mer shop, you know the one I wrote about ages ago.  Anyway, its always nice to have a little browse around that shop.  It makes me smile because although it is a very upmarket erotic boutique.  You get people outside, across the road, looking, wondering, afraid to go in.  So, I roll up in a taxi, step out and stroll in, bold as brass (pardon the pun:)  Oh I wish more ladies would just step in, its great fun in there, honestly :)  Didnt buy anything though, not this time ;)

It’s winter and you want to have sex. But you don’t want to head to the bedroom and get your groove on. No. You want to head out in subzero temperatures and enjoy sex, Eskimo style.

This winter, turn ordinary sex into something extraordinary by testing out these locations with your woman.

1- Gondola

Whether you plan to ski, snowboard or head to the top of a mountain for any reason, use the opportunity to engage in a quickie in the gondola. The ride up the mountain will take on a new meaning.

2- Top of a mountain

If you’re feeling bold, head to a secluded spot at the top of a mountain and get your groove on. She’ll be coming ’round the mountain when she comes.

3- Cross-country skiing/Snowshoeing

If you opt to take the scenic route on a winter day, you’re bound to find a spot where you can stop and penetrate. Sex in a winter wonderland will definitely leave you with a new appreciation for the season.

4- Log cabin

Head up to a deserted cabin with your lady and enjoy some privacy. You can opt to get it on inside or out, just be careful that your asses don’t get stuck to the ice if you head on out for your escapade.

5- Swedish spa

If you’ve ever been to a Swedish spa, you know that the hot tub, the sauna and the pool encourage sexual behavior. Treat your woman to a day at the spa and take the opportunity to have sex, or at least generate sexual thoughts, in the sauna.

6- Hockey game

Even if your woman isn’t a big fan of ice hockey, you can always bring her to a game and give her a penalty of your own. Have sex in the washroom, near the ice, or even in a secluded spot where no one is sitting.

7- Parked car

Winter or not, having sex in a car is a lot of fun. And if it’s winter, chances are the police won’t get out of their car to check why yours is bouncing up and down.

************************************

Now, call me old fashioned, call me unadventurous, call me a …  oh whatever but the only thing there that remotely interests me during these long winter nights is number 4.  Yes a log cabin, blazing fire, a snug rug?  That sounds all right doesnt it?  The sauna would be too hot and sticky – I would probably pass out hahaha.  Hockey game?  he is having a laugh and in a car?  Depends what type of car :) Are we talking a Reliant Robin here or a Bentley? I think as far as car sex goes, size definitely does matter.

I hate the cold,  brrrrrr, I really do, I am a warm weather bunny.  St Moritz or St Kitts?  Hmm I choose the balmy Caribbean every time. So, you can imagine my new apartment is toasty, very.  I spoke to the lady at the gas company.  She asked me a few questions like how many living there?  ‘Oh just me’ says I.  How many radiators?  ‘Eerm (I had to go around and count them), 11′  ‘Eleven??!!’ she exclaims, just stopping herself from saying ‘For one person???, you selfish bint’  That is naughty though isnt it?  I need to find a way to reduce my carbon stiletto print.  I do recycle and I have got rid of my car, that should help shouldnt it?

Why oh why didnt I get one of those firms who pack, move and unpack you? While they’re at it they could also tell all the people that need telling – phone, gas, electricity etc etc etc. (what a carry on just trying to find the meters!) – I sense a business opp here though:) Its a good job I had a very dear friend to help me- thank you darling x

Anyway, its done, Ive moved!! I am firmly ensconced in my new London pad (actually its not new, its around 200 years old but its new to me and you know what I mean).

Im just starting to get to know the neighbourhood, and there are lots of the things that I need and they happen to be close by; and what joy to just stroll out of my front door and within a short walk find a whole road of decent places to eat.  I think Im going to love it here :)

So, still some more unpacking to do (I am sure boxes breed and multiply in the back of the removals van).  February bookings are filling up fast – thanks guys, that is a fabulous welcome – but I still have some time free at the beginning of Feb, would love to see you x

So a poor gent of mine couldnt get through the snow from the north-east for our date tomorrow and my other lovely, well we met today but could not make it to the Dartmoor restaurant that we had planned but we managed to get a special table in one of my favourite restaurants in Plymouth, so we didnt starve – hurray!

Oh we had a lovely lunch, lots of catchy up chat too.  He brought us champagne and he said  ‘It’s only Bollinger’  Am I that demanding?  hehehe    Thank you Mister, delicious it was  :)  x.

I am amazed when someone says ‘The last time I saw you was 3 months ago’  No!  Is that a sign of age when months whizz past like that?, it seems like yesterday.  Even more reason to make the most of them, the months and the years.

I know I keep saying it but, yes I think the whole month of January (and maybe February) next year, Miss Charles will be in a warm place, California possibly, oh to feel the warm sun, instead of the freezing cold, what bliss, oh yes .

I hope you are not snowed in tonight  my darling, keep warm xxx

I think you will like them, my new pics and I think I will enjoy having them done. She’s a great photographer and very professional.  It can be very tedious, you know.  Oh gawd, I sound like one of those daft supermodels dont I?  Well, it can be tiring and get boring after a while, having your pic taken constantly for hours, constantly changing knickers and staying in an uncomfortable pose for ages.  Oh moan, moan, moan. hehehe  What Im saying is this lady who took my last London pics (astute readers may notice that there are two different styles to my gallery pics thats because two different photographers took them in two very different locations. One in London and the other in a trendy loft in New York). Well, shes just brilliant at making the time go quickly and enjoyable so I am looking forward to them, but not half as much as I am looking forward to revealing them to you.

Talking of updating things, I have something like 200 directories that I am listed on or in and I have to change them all in terms of my listing location in lieu of my move.  Oh deep joy, you know what I will be doing for the next week or so dont you?

But I keep looking at google earth and my new place and imagining walks along the Thames (I wont be too far from it) and exploring unusual shops, and eating out a lot and oh well, you get the picture. (pardon the pun :)
