The Boudoir Bible : The Uninhibited Sex Guide for Today by Betony Vernon

The Boudoir Bible: The Uninhibited Sex Guide for Today by Betony Vernon Illustrations by François Berthaud; published by Rizzoli

Betony Vernon is not only just a designer of beautiful jewelry, but she is also a teacher and the author of her new book, "The Boudoir Bible : The Uninhibited Sex Guide for Today"

"Unlike most little girls, I did not have dolls. My father was convinced that they served little more than to train girls to be mothers. (He might be right, as only one of his four daughters chose to have children.) While I did not have dolls of my own, I had a playmate who possessed a throng of Barbies, as well as Barbie's friend Skipper, her boyfriend, Ken and an infantry of miniscule plastic babies. We spent hours in her bedroom after school, dressing and undressing Barbie and her friends. We inevitably discovered that the most exciting thing to do with Barbie and Ken was to make them have sex (and of course, make babies!)."

Rise and Sprawl: How Los Angeles Came To Be
A Pictorial History of the City of Angels

With editor Jim Heimann and featured photographer Eriberto Oriol.

You are invited to join us for drinks and the opportunity to spend time with Eriberto Oriol and Jim Heimann, Executive Editor for TASCHEN America, as they sign copies of TASCHEN's "Los Angeles, Portrait of a City" and speak about the historical and cultural significance of Oriol's “America’s Most Wanted" photograph, which is featured in the book.

From the first known photograph taken in Los Angeles to its most recent sweeping vistas, this photographic tribute to the City of Angels provides a fascinating journey through the city's cultural, political, industrial, and sociological history. It traces the city's development from the 1880s' real estate boom, through the early days of Hollywood and the urban sprawl of the late 20th century, right up to the present day. With over 500 images, L.A. is shown emerging from a desert wasteland to become a vast palm-studded urban metropolis.

Jim Heimann is a cultural anthropologist and graphic design historian. He is also the Executive Editor for TASCHEN America, and author of numerous books on architecture, pop culture, and the history of the West Coast, Los Angeles, and Hollywood. He's been active in the arts for over thirty-five years, a faculty member at Loyola Marymount University, Art Center School of Design, and Otis School of Design, where he taught for 14 years.

Eriberto Oriol was born in Indio, CA and grew up in the San Diego neighborhood of Barrio Logan before relocating to Los Angeles, his home now for over three decades. In addition to expanding his internationally recognized portfolio of photographs of LA Latino street life, street art and graffiti, a talent he would later pass down to son Estevan, he and wife Angelica Gonzalez-Oriol are enthusiastic, proactive supporters of the local art scene, which led them to curate the first major exhibition of graffiti art in Los Angeles in 1989. In addition to the recognition the Oriols received from the Los Angeles City Council for the show's contribution to the community and the praise from numerous media outlets, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles acquired a featured artwork for its permanent collection.
