[Love & Other Myths] Tainted Love

Persian Sultana, and narrator of ‘1001 Nights', Sherazade, is regarded as one of the greatest romance legends of all time, and for good reason. A woman that became queen of an empire and brought a tyrannical king to his knees by being her boss b*tch self deserves GOAT status, right? Wrong. But also a little bit right. Let me explain:
The TL; DR version of Sheherazade's story tells the tale of a sultan with a particularly toxic trait and the intelligent, beautiful woman determined to cure him of it. Convinced of all women's 'duplicity and infidelity,' the Sultan Shahir takes up serial killing as a hobby; marrying virgins, sleeping with them, then having them beheaded the following day to stop them cheating on him. Soon after the sultan's 3000th kill, Sheherazade volunteers to become his new bride/victim.
To avoid death, our heroine makes up a series of exciting tales, telling only the first half of a story each night, and persuading the sultan to let her live another day to hear the other half. After 1001 tales, the sultan falls in love, the couple renew their vows, and Sheherazade lives happily ever after with an unhinged murderer.
As a love story, it's pretty dire. No one wants their love to be wrought with tragedy, betrayal, fear and sacrifice (or murder, presumably) in the real world. But at the same time, Scheherazade is great BECAUSE it contains all these things.
We seem to love tragedy, and most of our favourite romantic tales revolve around it: Romeo & Juliet, Tristan & Isolde, Kim & Kayne, etc. Great fictional love stories hold a surrealist mirror up to the world, reflecting both the darkness we hope to overcome and the beauty we want to find.
But shouldn't our greatest love stories represent love in its best light? Uncomplicated, pure, honest. We look up to many of these stories as ideals, so shouldn't our ideals be better than we are? Does love require sacrifice to make it legendary?

[Love & Other Myths] God Is A Woman?
You wait ages for one creator god then two come along at once—sort of.
Hailing from the Dahomey religion of Benin's Fon people, the Goddess Mawu-Lisa is a Mother Earth-type deity responsible for the sun and moon, and the creation of all life on earth and in the heavens. However, unlike the gentle, highly-feminine Mother Earth figures found in several other mythologies, Mawu-Lisa is one deity made up of twin gods – Mawu (the female energy) and Lisa (the male energy) . Although she is commonly referred to as a woman, Mawu-Lisa switches between male and female and is generally considered androgynous, hermaphroditic or non-binary.
We don't talk about it much but non-binary twin gods – or 'divine twins' – are a common theme in mythology, and seem to be where we get the idea of soulmates from. Way back in the 3rd century BC, the Greek philosopher Plato suggested that humans had also been created as conjoined twins, and originally had four arms, four legs and a head with two faces.
However, after they attempted to overthrow the gods, Zeus split humanity into two separate parts, diving not just the body but also the souls. Ever since humans have spent their lives in search of their other halves. According to the myth "when these two halves find each other, there will be a silent understanding of one another, they will feel joined and exist with each other in unison and will know no greater joy than that."

[Top Nine (-Eight)] 'The Haus That Silk Built'
Editorial by MamaCane (.vu) — 2020 was a hell of a year in practically every sense of the phrase. Exactly a year ago today Austrialia was on fire, and many of us woke up to the news that World War III was an imminent possibility. Little did we know that we'd soon be consumed on a global level by a different enemy altogether. The coronavirus, and various other events that began last year, affected us all in different ways but if 2020 taught us anything, it was the importance of community.
This time last year the .vu Instagram page was little more than an idea. The IG page was intended to bring awareness to our little styling agency, but it quickly took on a life of it's own. I could never have predicted that it would take off the way it did, nor that so many of you would come along for the ride. Its been a roller-coaster, but it's also pleasure and an honour to share and grow Silk Haus with you all. I want to thank the rest of the editorial team (.vu, .madss, .vu, .vu) whose talent and tenacity inspire me every day; the models and guest models (.vuxo .vu .vu .vu .vl, ) for always being willing & camera-ready, the creators making quality products that are artworks in their own right (shoutout ) and all the ppl that support the page on IG and behind the scenes (special thanks to , , .caplx).
'The Haus that Silk Built' is an ode to the first chapter of Silk Haus that you all helped build, showcasing items from some of my favourite edits of the last year as well as our top 9 posts.
We have a lot of new ideas planned for 2021, but I'm excited to start the year with the launch of the Silk Haus store on IMVU. From next week our top 9 from 2020 will be available to buy in store, with more coming in the following weeks. Happy New Year.

[Home For Christmas : The December Issue] 'Home Comforts'
We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas season and its looking forward to 2021. As we come to the end of the year, we're reflectung in our most treasured moments, this year and beyond. Editorial by .vu
For as long as I can remember, my family never had Christmas gifts under the tree in Christmas morning. The day before Christmas we'd all help to decorate the Christmas tree, but we'd never have any gifts underneath it. This is because we opened our gifts the evening after Christmas dinner (on the 24th) at my grandparents house, so that the entire family could open our gifts together.
However, we were always given something small on Christmas morning. My sisters and I recived a magazine of our own and there was candy all over the place. So magazines and candy for breakfast is just what the doctor ordered for this magical day. As I grew older the magazines evolved. From comics to teenage fashion magazines, to home decor. Same with the candy. 'Anything that tasted sweet' eventually evolved into 'Swiss milk chocolate', nougat and other such delicacies.
I left the nest 9 years ago, but every Christmas morning a magazine and the finest of chocolate still waits for me.
