Happy New Year to Global Smart Sensuality Snake Charmers
/Olga Maliouk expresses exactly Anne of Carvesville’s feelings about our beloved readers, and she will be our New Year’s Eve hug to the world and especially women in every country.
My love of French women is complete, and Olga Maliouk’s being Ukranian and featured in this months’s Air France Madame, lensed by Paul Schmidt, is appropriate as a symbol of our exploding international, sensual sisterhood.
Just now I received this message from one of my very articulate, educated Facebook friends Silvana Vukadin-Hoitt, and it sums up the growing sensibility about AOC.
Her message is so dead-on with understanding of what we are trying to achieve at Anne of Carversville:
I am convinced that AOC will be very influential. I am thrilled and excited when I read your posts and I can’t imagine that most other women, who are like me - do not feel the same. I grew up in Europe and it is quite different there, as you so aptly remind me. In the last years I have allowed the American tight up and controlling (women mostly) pop psychology to get to me.
A sleeping giantess stirs in me…I want back the mojo I so trustingly gave my American soul stealers/sisters.
Trust me, reading AOC I am reminded that I am allowed to be who I truly am. Woman and all that this word encompasses - not to be defined by any one else.
So, going into the New Year, thank you and I look forward to our mutual support and adoration!
Silvana styled our mutual friend Taryn Andreatta in this editorial, which is a great example of the new vision of women we hope to perpetuate for America, where we revolt from eroticism, unlike the Europeans and many Middle Eastern and North African countries:
‘Aphrodite in Love’: Taryn Andreatta | Megan Savage | Silvana Vukadin-Hoitt
To all our friends around the world — and we ARE truly global (see statistics) — and to all the artists, photographers, stylists, creative directors, and models from Sweden to France to Istanbul and Rio (and all points between), thank you for all the great visual inspiration you have delivered to America via the Internet.
We also thank the rare American magazine like Interview. It isn’t that America is totally without sensual soul, just mostly.
We CAN change this reality about America and everyone we influence, by broadcasting a healthy message of sensuality and responsible pleasure in 2011. If nothing else, we must offer women who want an alternative view of themselves, the option of being both respectable and sensual.
We ARE good girls in America, but we are damn tired of getting in line all the time. Feminism is a joke in America, compared to other developed countries, and we will drive this point home over and over again, relentlessly, in 2011.
Meanwhile, we’ll enjoy gorgeous, sensual, saucy, mind-stimulating editorial commentary on how sensually healthy women really live in this world. As my friend says, American women have no mojo, and she is right.
Remember, Smart Sensuality women have BRAINS, beautiful SENSUALITY and HEART. We have strong values, progressive ethics and deep concerns about the world’s women.
We are not slut girls and don’t you ever again let someone suggest that we are. Two-thirds of us are a global sorority of progressive, sensual, caring women. The other third are the men who love us, and more than a few Conservatives who are wondering what the hell is going on here.
We are the Snake Charmers and proud of it. Hallelujah! Anne
