PassionWeek Easter 2022 Year of the Tiger

Navigating through Lent, Passover, PassionWeek & Easter via Ramadan! Pinupspresidential's 2022 theme: Appetite.

Renewal Renewal Renewal: I'm asking myself when is engaging in perpetual renewal practice really an admission we're just navigating chaos at this point? PinupsPresidential's Design Colorways platform serves as constant brand reference & navigational wayfinding : Food, clothing, shelter, healthcare, sanitation. More relevant than ever. Grateful I've been designing civic Colorways by practice since 2014. Cybersecurity, environmental impacts, health pandemic & war is waged in Ukraine. Grateful I've been marking time with a human-scale #civicsabbath. I am grim but grounded.

Place

Palm Springs, California. Where are you?Architecture placemaking considers climate & culture.

Palm Springs Poolhouse

Designing a program with mini-brand to deploy from any resort, private home, community pool or condominium complex in the city. Mini-brand because I hope to find sponsors from among the products I'm using for this particular experience I'm having: this specific property, this guest with her marketing persona attributes, these pandemic conditions. There are many valuable UX as the swimming pool is an architecture placemaking standard in our desert city. It’s a social & fitness space, but — water in the desert— is also a place for survival & disaster-preparedness. Water also has many healing & spiritual associations. I've documented many potential civic uses for the pool during my pandemic stay; like a resort accommodating different audiences at different times of day, during different seasons, brand & industrial design sponsors should vary per experience.

Food

Brand Palm Springs midcentury-inspired “cocktail” menu, working with disasterpreparedness supplies. I saw a pic of Cary Grant with saltines on the table! This Hollywood elite escape had the affordable marketing underpinnings of real estate developers.

Food made available through Snap California--a personal allotment my state can provide its citizens. When invited, I'll design with the materials my host can provide in the placemaking conditions. If I can do this so can you…is the idea. Big Tech sponsors can help me deliver weekly program lifestyle supplies. Here, I'm working with dried foods & canned, along with closing the sustainable sanitation lifestyle loop. There's peace in practicing preparedness vs. worry. The Augason Farms products are awesome (shelf life 10-30 years!) Making a Palm Springs Poolhouse menu for culinary arts design study.

Clothing

Swim Uniform

See Swim Uniforms design post. Envisioning a rash guard fabric button down?

Vests

From formal to casual: a fun way to deal with graphic design content tees in the desert & still look polished. Varying weights & transparency button downs look uniform.

Ukraine-Russia motif vest

Disaster preparedness can make Christmas villages, Halloween haunts, science & maker fairs during good times & well-prepared citizen responders during challenges. https://www.pinupspresidential.com/beliefdnablog/warrior-pose

Not Gymboree

The Uniform components & seasonal civic Colorways aren't providing pre-prepared solutions. Instead, the live-work citizen maker is composing with items from the built environment & sharing her placemaking POV. I'd like my Palm Springs CA Poolhouse style guide to reference pattern mixing like cocktails: not every three makes a great combo. Processing the past while we build the now & design-plan our civic future.

Vintage Fur activity

Scenic & costume-level sewing activity stations. Desert weather has made textile study particularly fun.

Shelter

Healthcare

Putting shabbos electric candles on the Francis Bacon book amuses me every time. The super73 eBike along Palm Springs incredible bike paths : after staying in during Omicron, my first trip was to Bike Palm Springs to check tire pressure. That alls-well bouncy feeling. Lots of yoga & physical therapy. I've been challenged quite a bit balancing technology, pandemic & injuries.

Sanitation

To attract c-suite & senior brand/design guests, affordable housing projects must be presented as intriguing opportunities for collaboration, engagement and feedback. She knows trends & current business models: our #BeliefDNA nonprofit, live-work affordable housing studio residents —architecture students, design tourists, bucket list decorators — need the relationship. So does the city.

Sacred Sexy Template Format

As a part of Ava’s #SocialGraces for the #CitizenExperience, PinupsPresidential is proposing a starting point for citizen opt-in sharing standards to #design better sexual #experience for humankind.

Why? A couple of reasons:

  • Sex is good for our health. Happy, healthy adults want guilt and worry-free access to sex.

  • Our sexual lives can harbor guilt and shame. In a neurally-connected world, living with a clear conscience, free from emotional baggage is a security imperative. With a #SacredSexy “study buddy” approach, there’s no need to lie or manipulate to fulfill basic sexual needs.

  • An opt-in formatting standard introduces the opportunity to educate the citizenry about ever-changing technology that affects us in the most intimate ways.

  • Seasonal #Colorways programming can introduce appropriate sponsors, products and fun into the experience while keeping us abreast of new information we need to know. Social sharing inspired by Colorways conversations can keep things fresh even in committed relationships.

  • Emotional intimacy can be cultivated more when the security of standard formatting is available (we either opt-in or opt-out at regular intervals) Definitions of a “Happy Marriage” are fraught with loosely-clarified expectations.

Just as I can have a lab partner at school, so I should be able to have a study buddy for sex. With this approach, you could expect to enter into and gracefully exit an experience with a sexual partner without drama or bad feelings. Running into a former study buddy at the grocery store would have no more drama than running into your lab partner from last semester. In fact, you could anticipate a friendly, “How have you been? Nice to see you!”

Meetup- In person meeting to determine if there is attraction.

Expectations: If there is attraction, expect she will want to touch you. Do not expect sexual contact first meeting.

If you opt-in, begin with:

Week 1: Missionary

Week 2: Woman on Top

Week 3: Doggie

Prepare to have the “option to renew” conversation before you say goodbye, that way week 4 can be a sensual “until we meet again” farewell. An elegant and civilized solution to opting out.

Week 4: Period Week or Standing. Insert period week into the schedule wherever it occurs, then pick up where you left off.

So what is a “relationship?”

At its simplest, it could be #SacredSexy + affinity 1 and affinity 2. Using a building block approach (especially if monogamy is a goal) it would then always be possible to “revert” back to basics if a relationship becomes challenged. If you have a sex partner plus an interest in yoga and culinary, then your sacred day together can be truly fulfilling. You don’t have to “complete me.” These are the activities I do with my boyfriend or wife. We have other kinds of relationships (friendships, project partners) to pursue additional interests. The girlfriend or husband doesn’t feel suspicious about a partner’s time spent elsewhere: go shop for decor with your designer friends while I go off-roading with mine. As a result, the time couples spend together is based on activities of mutual pleasure, not possessiveness, not property. If hanging out socially with friends is one of your affinities, great. If appearing dressed and polished in public as a power couple is your thing, then that’s a specific way of moving in the world. If your “guy” doesn’t get along with your girlfriends, or the woman you love doesn’t roll with your crowd, then a very successful marriage or relationship might be very private. It very much depends on the individuals involved.

SacredSexy sets apart specific time for specific activity, allowing for the experience to be pure, healing, and sensually satisfying. For adult human beings, this should be held sacred, not bundled with a bunch of other stuff.
