Specktra.net is the ultimate online resource for the M*A*C line of cosmetics. It is also a forum where people can go and share life experiences; laugh and cry and bond together.

Toronto based make-up artist, Frank Toscan and his business partner, Frank Angelo opened their first M*A*C (Make-up Art Cosmetics) store in 1984. Little did they know how their unique and innovative makeup would set the fashion world ablaze.

The original premise was a makeup for the consumer; “All races, all sexes, all ages,” became their chant. Now, 23 years later, M*A*C, showcased at Specktra.net, is the leader in high fashion applications. Makeup artists and celebrities, such as Loni Anderson, Roseanne and Michael Jackson, to name a few, clamor for M*A*C products.

Recording artist k.d. lang once commented, “I hate makeup, but I love M*A*C.” The highly sophisticated and ever innovative M*A*C products have been seen in numerous movies, at high profile red carpet events and on the most glamorous models in the business.

With over 300 stores, in over 30 countries, M*A*C products are the epitome of style, glamour and sophistication. Specktra.net is the online resource for all information regarding this highly sought after product.

In 1994 M*A*C Aids Fund incorporated as a charity to help those living with AIDS/HIV. Viva Glam lipstick was developed for the sole purpose of funding this new found charity. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of Viva Glam has gone to this purpose ever since. Stars such as RuPaul, k.d.lang, Mary J. Blige, Lil Kim, Elton John, and Shirley Manson have been past faces for Viva Glam. Today, Viva Glam V is represented by Christina Aguilera, Missy Elliot, Linda Evangelista, Chloe Sevigny and Boy George. Sales of Viva Glam have soared over $70 million to date.

Specktra.net is the place to find out what’s new and exciting with M*A*C. It’s a community where people can share their enthusiasm about the products, and offer helpful tips about application. There is a monthly tutorial contest that allows consumers to show in great detail how they receive their desired M*A*C look.

Up, Up and Away- Freya Bower

August 7th, 2007 by Poise Daily Staff Member

Freya was the Norse goddess of fertility and love, among other things. She was also the goddess of war and had the ability to resurrect fallen warriors, and take them into her home in the forest. Here, she would often rejoin the soldiers with their wives and lovers.

Freya’s beauty was beyond compare. Her conquests were many, luring men to obtain the things she wanted, like a cloak made from the feathers of great birds. This cloak allowed Freya to travel between worlds and throughout the human world at swift speeds.

Odin, the chief Norse god (similar to Zeus of Greek mythology) is rumored to have been Freya’s husband and only true love. When he died she cried tears of red gold.

It only goes to reason then, that an online e-publisher specializing in erotica and romance would choose the name, Freya’s Bower.

Freya’s Bower is the sister company to Wild Child Publishing, an online e-publisher of category fiction.

Freya’s Bower eBooks are rated in one of five categories: sizzling, spicy, tangy, sweet and beyond sizzling. Genres consist of: angels and demons, capture and bondage, chick lit, fantasy, gay and lesbian, and time travel, and many more.

Novels, anthologies and collections make up some of the best erotica and romance fiction on the Internet today. Up and coming authors are encouraged to submit their works. Readers can enter a monthly contest to win a copy of a Freya’s Bower publication.

A monthly newsletter reports any Freya’s Bower news, updates on latest releases and informative articles on the dos and don’ts of writing erotica and romance.

If you are an erotica and romance writer seeking publication, or simply a reader of good fiction, don your cloak and fly over to: www.freyasbower.com. You’re in for the flight of your life.
