  Carrie: Club Eros Beach Party: Young Woman's Erotic Diary Nine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 43min, (USK 18)

  Carrie White diary entry: Tim and me belonged to Club Eros in London, a sex club for those of us who wanted something a little different. It was an upmarket sex club with a discreet membership of mainly couples with money, couples of all ages. Tim had introduced me: He’d been a member for some time. Tim had started taking me around as his girlfriend, although we both loved fun and had an open relationship. He was good looking and intelligent, had a good city job, and seemed to have money to splash when he wanted. He was also kind and thoughtful and looked after me when we were out together, opening doors, that sort of thing. I’d met Tim after him and his three friends from the city booked me for some entertainment in an upmarket hotel. It was fun - I’d never had four guys simultaneously. Of course, I’d been nervous at first, but they were just four young guys wanting to have some fun. They had money to spend, lots, and who was I to turn them down?Now I had come to Spain for two weeks, a vacation I felt I deserved, and just before the schools finished and this resort became flooded with families. I wanted some peace and rest away from the city hubbub. Tim had found out when he phoned me to arrange meeting up. I told him I was away in Spain. I told him I’d be back when the two weeks were up, and I’d see him then. I was there on my own for the first week, then Gwen, my lovely friend, was coming over for the second week. I knew we’d have some fun in the sun. I’d been there about four days, and my anticipated relaxation had turned into a regular journey of sexual adventures. This was not unusual. I seemed to attract guys and girls and couples who wanted something different, as you will know if you’ve listened to any of my previous diary entries. But that’s another story. What I’ve not told you is that Tim turned up yesterday unexpectedly. He just knocked on my hotel room door, and I was shocked but happy. I love having him aro ungekürzt.

  Her Nightly Embrace: Ravi PI Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 449min

  Ravi Chandra Singh is the last guy you'd expect to become a private detective. A failed religious scholar, he now works for Golden Sentinels, an upmarket London private investigations agency. His colleagues are a band of gleefully amoral and brilliant screw-ups: Ken and Clive, brutal ex-cops who are also a couple; Mark Chapman, a burned-out stoner hiding a great mind; Marcie Holder, a cheerful former publicist; Benjamin Lee, a techie prankster from South London; David Okri, an ambitious lawyer from a well-connected Nigerian family; and Olivia Wong, an upper-class Hong Kong financial analyst hiding her true skills as one of the most dangerous hackers in the world - all under the watchful eye of Roger Golden, wheeler-dealer extraordinaire, and his mysterious office manager, Cheryl Hughes. Thrust into a world where the rich, famous, and powerful hire him to solve their problems and wash their dirty laundry, Ravi finds himself in over his head with increasingly bizarre and complex cases - and the visions that he's been having of Hindu gods aren't helping. As Ravi struggles to stay ahead of danger, he wonders if the things he's seeing are a delusion - or if he might, in fact, be an unrecognised shaman of the modern world.... ungekürzt.

  Creating African Fashion Histories (eBook, ePUB)

  Creating African Fashion Histories examines the stark disjuncture between African self-fashioning and museum practices. Conventionally, African clothing, textiles, and body adornments were classified by museums as examples of trade goods, art, and ethnographic materials-never as "fashion." Counterposing the dynamism of African fashion with museums' historic holdings thus provides a unique way of confronting ways in which coloniality persists in knowledge and institutions today. This volume brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars and curators to debate sources and approaches for constructing African fashion histories and to examine their potential for decolonizing museums, fashion studies, and global cultural history.The editors of this volume seek to answer questions such as: How can researchers use museum collections to reveal traces of past self-fashioning that are obscured by racialized forms of knowledge and institutional practice? How can archival, visual, oral, ethnographic, and online sources be deployed to capture the diversity of African sartorial pasts? How can scholars and curators decolonize the Eurocentric frames of thinking encapsulated in historic collections and current curricula? Can new collections of African fashion decolonize museum practice?From Moroccan fashion bloggers to upmarket Lagos designers, the voices in this ground-breaking collection reveal fascinating histories and geographies of circulation within and beyond the continent and its diasporic communities.
