Dirty monkeys!

Posted by On November - 28 - 2008

Sexual arousal is the process and state of an animal being ready for sexual activity. Sexual pleasure is an innate component of human sexuality, and it permeates human experience.

A monkey is any member of either the New World monkeys or Old World monkeys, two of the three groupings of simian primates, the third group being the apes. The New World monkeys are classified within the parvorder Platyrrhini, whereas the Old World monkeys form part of the parvorder Catarrhini, which also includes the apes…

















Swimming With Crocodiles

Posted by On November - 20 - 2008
Swimming with hungry crocodiles is not most people’s idea of fun but, for 28-year-old hot babe Kerry Shaw, it was a dream come true.

 

In Oudtshoom, South Africa, anyone has become able to swim with these predator crocodiles without being frightened. It isn’t expensive at all as for only 30 $, anyone can wear his/her swimming trunks or bikinis and snorkeling gear and enjoy swimming in a reinforced steel cage to enjoy swimming with killer crocodiles but for only ten minutes. But there is a minimum age of 12 and children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult during the dive.

Kerry who is also a South African media executive said, “I was a little nervous but very excited to get into the water,” “It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and a chance I didn’t want to miss out on”, admitting that she checked the cage door was locked before going into the pool.

So, who’s next??

“Alice in Wonderland” is a photo set taken by talented artist Annie Leibovitz, for Vogue Magazine featuring Russian model Natalia Vodianova as Alice.Inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Masterpiece, Leibovitz utilizes Surrealism expertly to reveal the fantastic world in which Alice lived.

Curiouser and Curiouser:

Beyond nonsense verse and coming-of-age fables, Lewis Carroll’s true passion was photographing moody young beauties. Olivier Theyskens, in the guise of Carroll, captures model Natalia Vodianova as Alice Liddell. Natalia wears a Rochas iridescent blue-flower ruffle dress specially designed by Theyskens.


Down the Rabbit Hole:

Faster, faster, faster she fell! Chasing Tom Ford’s White Rabbit, our Alice disappears down the never-ending dark passage. Tom Ford for Yves Saint Laurent Gauche sky-blue silk-satin dress.


Drink Me:

How was Alice to know the innocent little bottle would make her grow to such a size? As Helmut Lang watched from the wall, she curled her legs up and hoped the designer’s organza minidress wouldn’t be crushed by her startling height. Dress from the Helmut Lang made-to-measure studio.


Advice from a Caterpillar:

Clad in Marc Jacobs’s ruffled chiffon minidress, Alice found herself engaged in an infuriatingly roundabout conversation with a mushroom-dweller. Where am I? she wondered…and how have I gotten here?


Pig & Pepper:

It was a queer-shaped little creature, and held out its arms and legs in all directions, “just like a starfish.” Chanel Haute Couture embroidered satin jacket with a draped satin skirt and cream leather boot pants. The Chanel designer wears Chrome Hearts necklaces and belt.


The Cheshire Cat:

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” Alice asked sweetly of the cat with a grin as devilish as anything she had ever seen. “ That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” replied our Cat, Jean Paul Gaultier. Blue silk-jersey draped dress by Gaultier Paris.


Tweedledum and Tweedledee:

“If you think we’re alive, you ought to speak,” said the one marked DEE. Alice, in a Viktor & Rolf multilayered silk dress, stared as the Tweedle duo spouted nonsensical tongue twisters. Rolf Snoeren, left, and Viktor Horsting wear matching suits and bow ties of their own design.


The Mad Tea Party:

“No room!” The March Hare and Mad Hatter shouted. “No room!” But Alice plunked down, desperate for some biscuits after a long day of living backward. Christian Lacroix Haute Couture dress with painted and sculpted mink dickey over a lace top and frilled lamé skirt. Stephen Jones (right), wears a custom-made hat of his own design. Lacroix, as the March Hare, is at far right.


Who Stole the Tarts?

“My name is Alice, so please Your Majesty,” the young girl, draped in Dior Couture, said softly. “ You make me giddy!” screamed the Queen. Dior Haute Couture by John Galliano hand-painted polka-dot dress. Galliano as the Queen of Hearts, wears a Dior Haute Couture coat and is accompanied by his King, Alexis Roche.


The Mock Turtle’s Story:

“What is his sorrow?” Alice, in Atelier Versace, asked the Gryphon. “Once,” sighed the Mock Turtle, “ I was a real turtle.” Atelier Versace layered silk-tulle and chiffon-organza dress lined in lace. Donatella Versace and Rupert Everett are in Versace.


Through the Looking Glass:

Wrapped in ocean-blue Balenciaga couture, Alice perched on the mantel, longing to escape into the shadow world, as her black kitty purred nearby. Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquière crystal pleated chiffon dress and grey ankle boots. Shot on location at the Château de Corbeil-Cerf.

BullFrog And The Unlucky Sparrow

Posted by Snowhite On September - 26 - 2008
Spectacular captures of the American Bullfrog preying on an unlucky sparrow. Growing up to a length of 20 centimeters or 7.9 inches, the bullfrog preys on any animal that it can overpower and stuff down its throat. Their stomachs have been found to contain rodents, small turtles, snakes, frogs including bullfrogs and birds of course.
Ambush predators as they are known for, the bullfrog can be seen submerging large preys (in this case the sparrow) into the water to cut their air supply and defense.

Gorah Elephant Park

Posted by On September - 24 - 2008
The first private concession in a National Park, is a premier lodge set in the heart of the malaria-free, Big 5 Addo Elephant National Park, home to the densest elephant population on earth.
The Gorah House - Restored to it’s 19th century colonial splendour and period furnished, the main house reflects a noble opulence and delivers the meticulous service and attention to detail that characterises Hunter’s properties.

Explore the bush with experienced rangers, in open vehicles, on foot or horseback, or simply relax by the pool till the animals begin stirring at dusk.
Gorah is close to the coast and the many other attractions of the Eastern Cape. Children are well catered for, as are mini conferences and bush weddings
“Unique to match such style with function is a rare achievement. Peace and tranquillity with a frisson of danger is a memorable experience. Ralph Lauren meets Out of Africa.”

The romantic atmosphere of the eleven spacious and luxurious tented suites, recalls the golden era of safari in the early 1900’s; yet with the comfort and excellence associated with Africa’s finest game lodges.


Guests can relax in the boma area with it’s beautiful rock swimming pool and sun-drenched decks. Experience the African tradition of cooking and eating under the stars…


Dining is by candle-light in the elegant dining room, or on its lazy verandas overlooking the waterhole. The sounds of the bush create a magical air of peace and tranquility, broken only by the splashing of water as the animals arrive to drink under the cover of darkness.


Whether experiencing the majesty of elephant herds gathering by the waterhole, or encounters at matchlessly close range, the Gorah experience is totally unique. And perfectly compliments your Garden Route Adventure.
With arguably the best elephant viewing in South Africa, Addo is also the domain of the Big 5, numerous antelope species and a wealth of birdlife.
