Three sexy cities to explore
There’s something about landing in a completely new city. I just feel like a fresh person. Even if I’m not really there but visiting through a cyber date on alterD8.com.
Not only do I leave my job, home and circle of friends behind, but also my inhibitions.
I love to walk around downtown and pop into a boutique. Buy something expensive and trendy, like a jacket and heels to match. I feel like I’m slipping into a unique persona, who fits into the city.
What are some of the world’s most sensual cities?
There’s Paris, of course, but we’ve been there before.
Where else in the world can people enjoy a sexy chat amidst great views, gorgeous people and amazing culture?
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
While many have heard of Brazil’s famous annual festival, Carnival, the world may not know about everything else that Brazil has to offer. The list includes:
mountains
beaches
the Amazon River
a super model or 10 (Gisele Bündchen, one of the world’s top fashion models, is Brazilian.)
Look over some photos. Could you imagine yourself in Rio? What would you do?
Discover Rio before then world catches up…
Rio and Brazil will soon be the center of the world stage. This South American country is the host of two major world events:
the 2014 FIFA World Cup, in June and July 2014
the 2016 Summer Olympics
Virtual dating tips for cyber dates in Rio
How can you have a great alterD8 in Rio? I like to get into a Brazilian frame of mind before I go. To do this I:
put on some sexy samba music (a beat that makes you move in a sensual manner) and red stilettos
make and sip on the national drink of Brazil, a Caipirinha (includes refreshing limes and sugar)
put a feather in my hair and a thong and channel my inner Carnival spirit
Let’s samba!
Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Yes, this city has a world famous red light district. De Wallen. And yes, sex and drugs are legally for sale.
However, this isn’t what makes the city sexy to me. Amsterdam has a lot more to offer.
Here’s what I love about this place:
tall, slim gorgeous Dutch citizens. So many people look like supermodels.
that Dutch accent
a Dutch-styled café latte, called koffie verkeerd, with 50% milk and 50% coffee
Then there’s the scenery. Castle-like homes lining bridges, and bright homes matching the fall colored leaves on the trees overlooking the rivers, lined with boats.
So European!
Tips for alertD8s in Amsterdam
admire some Van Gogh paintings; I put Van Gogh's sunflowers series on as my screensaver (Oui, they are French, but he was Dutch)
drink a Dutch-styled coffee, or just a beverage with a lot of milk in it
nibble on some Dutch cheese and crusty bread
Montreal
This French Canadian city is often considered to have a European feel.
Beautiful people, scenery and lined with cafes, it’s a great place to indulge in some pastries.
Winter is coming. But you don’t need to hide out in Montreal. A fun idea for a cyber date is to skate outdoors at night.
Tips for online dating in Montreal
make a hot chocolate or open some red wine
have a fine pastry on hand
wear a big warm sweater or curl up with your laptop by a fireplace
There’s no need to feel stuck at home this fall and winter. Having fun on alterD8s just requires your imagination.
P.S. I dare you to pick a sexy city for a cyber date. Look for like-minded friends and connections now on alterD8. You could be in Rio, Amsterdam or Montreal within minutes of signing up.
Current Events: Elton John to Appear at Emmy Awards
“Yours, are the sweetest eyes I have ever seen.”
– Elton John
It’s the rocket man.
Are you prepared to feel the love tonight… on the red carpet?
A tribute to a master
At the age of 66, Sir Elton John will be performing a live tribute to his late friend and piano man, Liberace.
Liberace is portrayed in HBO’s Behind the Candelabra. The show is up for 15 Emmy Awards including lead-actor bids for Matt Damon and Michael Douglas. Both of which will be taking on roles as presenters at the Emmy ceremony.
The Emmy awards will be airing on the 22nd of September, and will be hosted by the wildly funny Neil Patrick Harris.
The nominees
This year’s Emmy awards saw a change in nomination trends with internet series becoming recognized.
House of Cards became the first internet series to be nominated for best drama series. This high-tension show set in the White House, surprised many with a total of nine nominations.
Kevin Spacey, director and star of House of Cards, is nominated for lead actor in a drama series for his leading role.
The directors of Mad Men will be receiving no recognition, with its total lack of nominations.
What do you think will be the outcome of the night? Who will walk away adorned with trophies, and who will be left empty-handed?
Take your thoughts to the online chat room on alterD8.
You can make your chat sexy with some love conversations inspired by Elton John.
P.S. The thought of being someone’s tiny dancer gives me thrills. I am going to try this persona on with my next online avatar date at alterD8.

Experience the city of love on your next alterD8.
Travel to Paris to make the cyber dating connection of your dreams.
A concert worth the cost of a plane ticket
Jazz à la Villette is a highly anticipated musical festival in Paris, France. It draws both Parisians and tourists from around the world.
This event runs from September 3rd to the 15th, and is made up of a collection of concerts with no musical bounds.
Jazz, funk, hip-hop, blues and world, it’s all there. What a great event for cyber dating. This year features Bryan Ferry and the Bryan Ferry Orchestra, Seun Kuti and Egypt 80 and musical ensembles.
If you want to make a special connection at one of these concerts, well then you are in luck.
Musically-minded
According to the Toronto Sun, studies show that ‘music and concerts’ are a top interest for many individuals when looking to make a meaningful connection.
Patterns have demonstrated that certain type of music lovers have specific dating tendencies:
Country music listeners: believe in soul mates
Jazz Fans: a little more sinful
Rock and indie lovers: into one night stands
Does your music taste affect how you date?
Does the musical taste of others affect who you date?
Find your ideal music match on alterD8 and see where your online chat conversations will lead you.
P.S. I find that sharing my favorite bands always brings me closer to my avatar date. And when we have our date in Paris, it is a guaranteed emotional connection. See you online.

This Canada’s West Coast metropolis, Vancouver, set a no rain record.
Now that’s something for a city nicknamed Raincouver. Vancouver, notorious for its dampness and cloudy gray skies, hit 60 solid days of sweltering sunshine.
People across Canada and the United States have been experiencing summer warmth for a few months now. Truth be told, some people are getting a little tired of this heat.
The power of a cocktail
Experts say to have lots of liquids in the heat, so drink up!
Sit down with your favorite drink, or if you are feeling a little adventurous, try a new concoction.
Here are some cocktails to consider:
The Southern Jam – peach and rum enhanced
Tequila Sangria – sweet and fruity and takes just five minutes to make
Guava Sin – refreshing and exotic
Pull up a lawn chair, an umbrella and sip one of these delicious cool mixtures. The summer heat will be a thing of past.
Find the cool air
If it is too unbearable to be outside, then take refuge.
If there is not air conditioner at home, try:
A movie theatre. There is no shame in hiding out to watch a movie when it is over 100 degrees outside. You could see Wolverine, I hear the muscles are fantastic.
A mall. You could even buy an air conditioner to cool down your home.
Your car. Take a road trip with the windows down.
Stay cool this summer.
But while escaping the heat, you can still enjoy a tropical location. Try alterD8 and experience locations from around the world in the comfort of your own home. In the bliss of your own air conditioning.
Travel to your favorite hotspot on your avatar date and make a connection on any white sandy beach.
P.S. I think I’ll visit Maui with my avatar and have a little online chat with a sexy beach boy. Make your connection within minutes.

What kind of traveling personality do you have?
I’ve always loved adventure.
After college, I thought that wander lust could be cured with a backpacking trip through Europe. I was certain a little travel would satisfy my me.
However, the more sweet cherries that sweetened my lips, scents of rising bread in outdoor ovens I breathed in and tropical sea breezes that caressed my skin, the more I wanted.
Maybe that’s why I love to cyber date. (Or why I launched an avatar dating website.)
My dream destination
I daydream about strolling through a marketplace.
Returning to my hotel room and enjoying a sea breeze as I eat fresh bread, cheese and olives. Going for a spa treatment and a massage.
Then, deliciously refreshed, slipping into a sheer red dress. Dining on lobsters while watching the sunset. Dancing the night away barefooted in the sand in the company of local men.
I am a lover of the luxurious. Who are you?
What’s your travel personality?
Adventurous
If you like adventure travel, you’re something of a thrill seeker. Mountain climbing, parasailing, kayaking in raging rivers, you thrive on adrenaline. Once you’ve mastered one challenge, you’re ready to take on another.
You love:
to challenge yourself
to feel scared and excited
to accomplish the difficult or unusual
You want to find and do it all. Or at least break out of your usual routine. You’re not afraid to explore or experience discomfort that is physical or emotional.
Try virtual dates in world locations that are mountainous, near oceans or nature focused. The Rocky Mountains, the Alps, Australian Outback, the Himalayas, the Andes, Africa
Luxury loving
First class plane seats with leg room and fluffy pillows. A poolside cabana bed overlooking the ocean. For you, travel is about feeling special and creating a rejuvenating experience.
You love to:
be pampered
break away from everyday life
create a fantasy, even if it’s just for a few days.
You like things just so and aren’t afraid to pay more for extra service and attention.
Experiment with cyber dating in large cities or rustic country locations that bring to mind luxurious accommodations. New York City, Vancouver, Miami, Venice, Paris, London
Educational
Libraries, museums, ancient ruins and art. When you travel, you like to learn at the same time. History may have been a favorite subject of yours in school. The world and its story fascinates you.
You love to:
learn new things
experience history in context
stand in the places that have shaped the world
Your dream travel destinations likely center on historically rich places with plenty of historical context so that you can experience history first hand.
Look for anonymous avatar chat with partners from around the world who can shed insight on different cultures and histories. Think Egypt, Peru, China, Peru, India.
Ignite your imagination
I know I don’t travel as much as I’d life in my offline life. But that doesn’t mean than I can’t get a taste when I wake up in the morning as I sip my latte, or at night before bed or when I eat sushi in the park on my lunch break.
P.S. I’m going to live out my destination fantasy. Try out a new cyber dating location this week.
