Premarital Sex

2009-10-01T09:32:00.000-07:00

With more & more Americans par-taking in premarital sex we have to ask ourselves if this is really how we would like our children to be raised? In a world where Sex and the City is celebrated (yes I'm VERY Guilty on this one) is it possible to lessen the effect of premarital sex on minors? How can we take sex off the TV when it sales so well? How can we convince producers that really there can be more to a plot line than a steamy sex scene. As a responsible parent we've got a lot of help from TV stations on the quality of the programing based off of the reviews and ratings posted in the beginning of the shows but how about keeping some of these programs off TV all together?

I'm all for Sex and the City. I loved it when it was on HBO and hunted for people that would let me come crash their couch to watch (always with a little gift of bubbly of course) but now that it is on TBS, I wonder at the effect it has. Yes it's edited for content but the message is still there and at 7PM my kids are still up. That is at least one show that should NOT be on during waking hours for my children to happen upon, but yet it is. I'm not suggesting that the world edit it's content for children but shouldn't it be a bit more red light? Lets get our children to an age that they can understand the plot lines and the show biz aspect before we shove them in front of shows on the CW. Children have the right to be Children and our shows shouldn't target them into thinking it is the norm for all this sex.

Starting Over

2009-09-30T08:56:00.001-07:00

So what do you do when life gives you a whole bushel of lemons?? Make lemonade of course! As of today this blog is going to change it's focus from Mohot.com to other things. I am officially looking for a day job now and hope to have one soon. I received news yesterday that shatters everything so instead of being consumed by it, I will move forward. It's funny the things God gives you to warn you what is coming, if only you listen. It's all there to this life is lessons...

Iced Tea

2009-09-25T16:10:00.001-07:00

So for years I've watched my mother drink Iced Tea and thought why?? I grew up drinking it (and swear it's why I'm so short... you know all that caffine) as did everyone in my family. I watched as my grandparents drank pitcher after pitcher. I can now tell the difference in day old tea versus freshly brewed tea and I owe it all to my mother. But I never got it. I didn't see the big deal in Iced Tea until today. Now I get it! It's an alternative to all the sugar drinks that only add to the hips. So now I'm off to brew my own tea.

For those of you that need a little kick for your tea heres one of my fav's:

Long Island Iced Tea

1/2 oz. Vodka
1/2 oz. Gin
1/2 oz. Rum
1/2 oz. Triple Sec
1/2 oz. Tequila
1 oz. Sour Mix
Cola

- Fill mixing glass with ice
- Add Vodka, Gin, Rum, Triple Sex, Tequila, Sour Mix
- Shake
- Pour into glass
- Top w/ Cola
- Garnish w/ lemon slice

Bridal Shower Lingerie Poem

2009-09-24T10:47:00.000-07:00

Your wedding day is approaching real soon
& before you know it you'll be on your honeymoon.

As your bridal party, we got together
to help add more steam to that cool (PUT MONTH OF WEDDING HERE) weather.
To ensure that you'll have a really great time,
open each bag as I read each rhyme.

Monday: You'll both take it slow,
white innocence is the way to go.

Tuesday:You'll be all warmed up,
in a hue of floral you will be(PUT GROOM'S NAME) buttercup

Wednesday: Hump day after all
with this leopard print(Husband's Name) will be climbing the walls.

We wanted to have a little fun to,
so we thought real hard to see what we can do.
Put this on (Husband's Name) he will look out of sight
in this matching print you will have a wild, wild night.

Thursday: Will prove to be the most romantic,
All in pink you will make (Husband's Name) heart tick.

Friday: You will be sexy as a kitten in bed,
(Husband's Name) will be calling you his lady in red.

Saturday: Fulfills every fantasy and desire,
clad in black you will set(Husband's Name) on fire.

Sunday: Is your day of rest
since all week long you have given (Husband's Name) your best,
so with these pajamas cuddle up in bed,
lay down, close your eyes and rest your head.
But just in case (Husband's Name) is still on the make,
here are some Tylenol for that old,"NOT TONIGHT HONEY I HAVE A HEADACHE"!

We hope you enjoyed this little poem. Take these gifts & use them often in your new home.

obviously I'm gearing up for that Bridal shower I told y'all about :-) shop at www.mohot.com

NFP

2009-09-17T13:21:00.000-07:00

NFP, Natural Family Planning. I stumbled across this term yesterday in search of the whole God opens the Womb thing. This concept complete caught me off guard. I knew that there were people out there that still practise the rhythm method but I didn't realize it was a whole movement. They amount of stuff I found out there for NFP was amazing. Here the "Church" is recommending every woman regardless of her status of trying to get pregnant or trying not to, should practise NFP for health reasons. They even quoted science for their argument. Here was a line I wasn't expecting to see. It was nearly a reasonable argument for their side. Afterwards I was left in awe about how well thought out the argument really was. Go NFP for walking the fence accurately.

Anyhow I'm not saying everyone should jump the NFP movement but that sometimes it doesn't hurt to listen to the other side... This blogger isn't ready to give up her MoHot just yet, but I'm glad to her argument as to why the 26 year old mother may not be so into it. ;-)

God Opens The Womb

2009-09-16T12:33:00.000-07:00

As I set out to answer my eternal question on how God sees conception today I was reminded how Vague he can be. My husband gets on to me about being Vague but really God has got the handle on that one doesn't he? Genesis alone, the first Book of the Bible, we see example after example of how God states a man goes to his wife and she conceived. Here God hints at how he is the one in control of the womb. But is he? Doesn't he also give us free will? And in Genesis 29:31 when he states he opens Leah's womb, he doesn't give a time line, only hints that now she should be able to conceive. Even with the birth of each of her son's, God doesn't hint at how long it took to conceive or how many times Jacob came unto Leah, just that Leah bore sons. The important thing to remember is that God leaves a lot up to us. He gave us freewill but ultimately he's in control of the gift of life. What we do with it once we've got it is ours to live.

Sex and the City 2

2009-09-15T08:48:00.001-07:00

What goes better with an all Girls Blog than Sex and the City??? Well there's a new movie in production, maybe you've heard, and we're going to chat it up. As an avid Sex and the City enthusiast I figured it was time to add it to the blog. Yes I know we rarely see any of the Ladies in lingerie and it's doubtful they'd shop at http://www.mohot.com/ but they are still worthy of our blabber.

Now lets get down to business, the movie is slotted for opening May 28, 2010. Write it down. Post-it note your computer, add it to your day planner, do what you've got to do to make sure you SAVE that date.

With a little over 8 months until Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda retake the big screen, I'm sure we'll hear all sorts of juicy gossip about the movie and what's to come. And just for the record, we here at Translucent Thoughts & at MoHot.com a like to agree that Chris Noth as Mr. Big aka John James Preston is the SEXIEST man/character currently in film. We leave the door open on "ever on film" by the way as Harrison Ford and Sean Connery have definitely left their own marks as well. All things considered though, there is nothing that can make me smile quite like Big. His character is so well written you don't even hate him for all the truly awful things he's done to Carrie and because of Big, on other love interest was big enough for Carrie.

So as the count down begins, I'm anxious to see what our Ladies are up to. Bring on the Sex!

Get your shaking arm ready for Cosmo's one more time:

Cosmopolitan

2 oz. Vodka (preferably Lemon-flavored)

1 oz. Triple Sec

1 oz. Cranberry Juice

1/2 oz. Lime Juice

-Fill mixing glass with ice

-Add Vodka, Triple Sec, Cranberry Juice & Lime Juice

-Shake

-Strain into chilled martini glass (you can go all out and by the SATC martini glasses online)

-Garnish with a lime slice

Enjoy!

Lingerie and Bridal Showers

2009-09-14T11:27:00.000-07:00

So I got this invitation to a Bridal Shower the other day, and it requested NO LINGERIE. Now, it was my turn to be surprised. This bridal shower is for a 26 year old mother and she doesn't want lingerie? Really? Does she think her mother doesn't want her having good sex? Does she think her mother doesn't realize she probably already does?? I mean she is getting married to a man she has a child with, she's not fooling anyone.

Enough ranting, but there is a lesson here. If a woman is so uncomfortable to receive lingerie from her closest friends and family in a well wishing of her future happiness for a fruitful marriage, what hope for romance does she have? Remember lingerie should be a relationship tool. It's not about bringing smut to your relationship but about bonding and relationship building. Lingerie is called intimates for a reason. You should feel free and comfortable with a little silk or satin in your drawers.

Google Google Google

2009-09-11T09:12:00.000-07:00

I, like most people, LOVE Google! Today I discovered that my Mohot Facebook page is on page 4 when googled and www.mohot.com comes up on page 6. Looks like I've got some work to do!

On another note... when I googled my own name, an article I wrote while in college showed up on page 2. So I guess as a person I'm more popular than my business, huh?

Favorite Sexy Song - Chris Isaak Wicked Games

2009-09-09T13:22:00.000-07:00

"Wicked Game"

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.

It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.

I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you.

And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you.

No, I don't want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)

With you (This world is only gonna break your heart)

What a wicked game to play, to make me feel this way.

What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you.

What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way.

What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you and,

I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)

No, I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)

With you.

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.

It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.

I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you.

And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you,

No, I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)

With you (This world is only gonna break your heart)

No, I... (This world is only gonna break your heart)

(This world is only gonna break your heart)Nobody loves no one.

Thank you Chris Isaak for being you!

Santa's Helper

2009-09-04T15:35:00.000-07:00

For all you early shoppers, and Santa's Little Helpers, Christmas lingerie is posted to http://www.mohot.com/

Check it out!

Santa's Sleigh

Have you ever wondered

Where Santa leaves his sleigh,

When he brings toys for the girls and boys

To find on Christmas Day?

For reindeers, all the roof-tops

are much to smooth and steep!

One slip, and they'd fo sliding down,

and land in one big heap!

But if they were in the garden,

How could Santa, with his sack,

Climb right up to the roof-top,

Then down the chimney stack?

There's too much danger in the road...

So, where CAN he leave his sleigh?

Perhaps you'd like to ask him,

When he comes round your way!

Lingerie Any Day?

2009-09-03T14:33:00.000-07:00

Lingerie has long been on of my favorite types of clothing. The way the satin or silk feels against your skin reminding you of what may come, or my favorite, standing in the rain in a silk night gown. Sure it just might ruin it, but it feels fantastic on the skin. That's why there is http://www.mohot.com/, because I know I'm not alone in liking what lingerie brings to the table.

So whether you're a gown, teddy or bustier girl, wear what makes YOU feel sexiest. Sex and all the 'relationship tools' out there are only to bring us closer to our mates. Get out of your head, get into your special something and believe in yourself.

New content!

2009-09-02T14:17:00.001-07:00

Just got the 2009 fall line up for http://www.mohot.com/ check it out in a few days, there is plenty to get posted!!

Perspective

2009-08-31T12:49:00.000-07:00

We had a FABULOUS weekend! One of those weekends that really puts things into perspective. http://www.mohot.com/ is a great distraction for me however it's not my main focus. My family definitely is. We spent this past weekend in the Happiest Place on Earth for my baby's 3rd birthday and you know what, it lived up to the name ;-)

The baby went dressed up as Cinderella (& no I didn't go as the fairy off of http://www.mohot.com/) We saw Mickey, Tinker Bell, Mary Poppins and a whole lot more. We enjoyed everyone company and didn't fight one bit! The amount of smiles brought peace to this heart.

I know it seems odd to be able to talk about lingerie, babies, & God all in one blog but that's me. I realized this weekend that we are all on a path and my path has all these things in it. Nothing to be ashamed of, it's just what it is. I am very fortunate to have such great things in my life and such great people. Thank you family for a wonderful weekend! Thank you lord for such a fantastic family.

Leave It To ME

2009-08-28T11:10:00.001-07:00

So what's a girl to do when her best friend and her husband aren't seeing eye to eye? Pray!! & in my case, blog, hahahaha.

It's always difficult to be the buffer between two strong personalities but at the same time, I can't imagine life without either of them. They are my center and without them I'd be lonely. Perhaps if I can get her to pick out a cute piece from http://www.mohot.com/ and pick one out for myself both of them will see the olive branch. What guy doesn't like to see his lady in lingerie, and what girl doesn't like freebies?

Leave it to Me:
1oz Gin
1/2oz Apricot Brandy
1/2oz Dry Vermouth
3 Dashes of Lemon Juice
3 Dashes of Grenadine

-Fill Shaker with Ice
-Add Gin, Apricot Brandy, Dry Vermouth and Grenadine
-Shake
-Strain into a chilled Cocktail Glass

MoHot Shenanigans

2009-08-27T12:55:00.000-07:00

So we went to this market last Sunday and promoted the web-site. I have to say I loved the vibe I received from everyone. And Ladies, let me tell you, it's the older women that have no fear in what it is they want! I wish everyone had as much confidence as some of my more senior weekend adventurers. I left the market with a sense of hope for what is to come, a smile on my face and stories of love.

I love being able to bring romance and passion to peoples lives. I can only hope we can all grow into our skin as much as some of the ladies I encountered this past weekend. It would be a great thing to be able to tell a girl in a market what it is we're looking for in an intimate piece with little reservation. If we all had that type of confidence then how could it not all be okay?

Thank you, ladies for enlightening me!

Dirty Girl Games

2007-11-07T21:07:00.000-08:00

Tracy the Dirty Girl
and a healthy appetite.
And if you ever saw her,
you'd even say she glowed.

All of the other girls,
used to laugh and call her names.
They never let poor Tracy
join in any girlie games.

Then one hot and steamy night
Beefy Kane came to say:
"Tracy with your healthy appetite,
can't we have some FUN tonight?"

Then all the other girls envied her
and they shouted out with glee,
"Tracy you little hussy,
we know your recipe!
We know you shop at MoHot
to get your special glow"

visit MoHot.com for your special glow factors too :P

I am a Front Desk Agent

I have advanced degrees in Accounting, Public Relations, Marketing, Business, Computer Science, Civil Engineering, and Swahili. I can also read minds.
Of course I have the reservation that you booked six years ago even though you don't have the confirmation number and you think it was made under a name that starts with "S".
It is completely my fault that the blizzard shut down the airport and you have to sleep in a warm king-size bed while 5000 of your co-travellers are sleeping in benches at the airport. I am sorry, and of course I'll be looking for a new job in the morning after you've spoken to my manager.

It is not a problem for me to give you seven connecting, non-smoking, poolside suites with two king beds in each, four rollaways, 3 cribs, and yes, I can install a wet bar. I know it is my fault that we do not have a helicopter landing pad, and yes I am working on my resume now.

I am a Front Desk Agent. I am expected to speak all languages fluently. It is obvious to me that when you booked your reservation for Friday on the weekend we're sold out that you really meant Saturday. My company has entrusted me with all financial information and decisions, and yes, I am lying to you when I say we have no more rooms available. It is not a problem for me to quickly construct several more guest rooms. THIS time I will not forget the helicopter landing pad. And it is my fault that everyone wanted to stay here. I should have known you were coming in, even though you had no reservation. After all, you stay at our brand of hotel all the time, 300 nights a year, and this is only the first time you've ever been to our city.

I am a front desk agent. I am quite capable of checking three people in, two people out, taking five reservations, answering fifteen incoming calls, delivering six bath towels to room 625, plunging the toilet in room 101, and restocking the supply of pool towels, all at the same time. Yes, I will be glad to call the van driver and tell him to drive over all the cars stuck in traffic because you've been waiting at the airport for 15 minutes and you've got jet lag.
I am a front desk agent, an operator, a bellhop, houseman, guest service representative, housekeeper, sales coordinator, information specialist, entertainment critic, restauranteur, stock broker, referee, janitor, computer technician, plumber, ice-breaker, postman, babysitter, dispatcher, laundry cleaner, lifeguard, electrician, ambassador, personal fitness trainer, fax expert, human jukebox, domestic abuse counselor, and verbal punching bag. Yes, I know room 112 is not answering their phone. And of course I have their travel itinerary so I know exactly where they went when they left here 9 hours ago, and what their cell phone number is.
I always know where to find the best vegetarian-kosher-Mongolian-barbecue restaurants. I know exactly what to see and do in this city in fifteen minutes without spending any money and without getting caught in traffic. I take personal blame for airline food, traffic jams, rental car flat tires, and the nation's economy.

I realize that you meant to book your reservation here. People often confuse us with the Galaxy Delight Motel, Antarctica. Of course I can "fit you in" and yes, you may have the special $1 rate because you are affiliated with the Hoboken Accounting and Bagel Club.
I am expected to smile, empathize, sympathize, console, condole, upsell, downsell (and know when to do which), perform, sing, dance, fix the printer, and tell your friends that you're here. And I know exactly where 613 Possum Trot Lane is in the Way Out There subdivision that they just built last week.
After all, I AM a Front Desk Agent, now looking for a new job at perfectemployer.com!
