And so, my dears, the age of Sagittarius is upon us, and my word, are they a-celebrating!

Luvs, Dr Cherise Francis-Windle jetted in from California, for her very own pre-birthday celebrations this weekend, her birthday being next Tuesday. And luvs, it's all systems go for what promises to be one fab outing, so more anon, as the three-day fest actually got under way last evening, in Stony Hill, and moves to the north coast later today.

And, my darlings, speaking of fabulous people and exciting places, it's starting to look like it's going to be a fab December, at least in fabulous Negril at the oh-so risqué and charming Hedonism II, where all partying hell is set to break fabulously loose. The famed resort promises a December to remember this Christmas with something for one and all, over the age of 18, that is.

And dears, it all begins with The 2011 Men of Dream competition, which promises to be a buffet of unrestrained treats, showcasing a combination of awesome talent, magnetic personalities and characters as solid as a rock; a variety of men ready to sweep all women off their feet. Twelve hunks will be showcasing their talent and strutting their stuff in fierce competition in a weeklong series of contests that will culminate on Saturday, December 10.

The scores for events such as the sports challenge, the magic hands massage contest and the provocative pillow talk test will go towards the final night's total. The men are mostly from across the United States and Canada, but this year there are two entrants from Australia. Jamaica will have three entrants competing as well - Kenroy Larman and André Brown from Kingston, and Romeo Mitchell from Portmore, St Catherine.

And doves, if the Jamaican entrants are anything to judge by, then you know we are talking one red-hot contest here! But that is only a teaser for things to come. It will be one fiesta of fabulousness as the Friday before, they will have the staging of the international Baby Got Back Top Model event to follow a week of erotic model shoots for the WET Calendar series. The 12 contestants will be wearing the new bikini line from Miss Pam Rodriguez of Los Angeles called pure Rodri swimwear.

And apart from the 24 sexy guys and gals will be another 12 of the most gorgeous live-body canvases eyes have ever beheld for the Hedonism exotic body art exhibition, Body Painting Week with the Jamaican Mi Crazy Bikini team. This includes nightly presentations of the girls body-painted by some of the world's most famous body painters.

Dears, the adults-only ultra-hot all-inclusive playground for pleasure that nourishes the body, mind, spirit and soul is set to rock in December.
