3 Natural Breast Enhancement Tips

In today’s fast paced lifestyle we often neglect the most basic things. There are some nutritional supplements that can under the correct circumstances, aid the development of bigger breasts. As well as supplements like pueraria mirifica, our body needs the right combination of foods and water in order to perform at its peak.

1. I’m sure you have heard many times the advice about drinking 8 glasses of water a day; this is because water does so much for our bodies; from transporting nutrients and oxygen to carrying our waste products to the kidneys for disposal.

Water also aids in the improvement of the skin; there is not enough that can be said about drinking plenty of water and if you are going to embark on any new diet or supplementation; then make sure you are taking in adequate amounts of water to help.

2. Fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and soy; again these are full of antioxidants and very important for breast health as is the way in which you prepare your food; overcooking can deplete the food of its natural vitamins and minerals.

3. Protein is another necessity for the body, proteins contain amino acids. There are 20 amino acids required by the body for growth, the body can manufacture 11 of these; the rest must be supplied by your food. Foods high in protein include vegetables, legumes, grains, beans, chicken and turkey breasts, fish, shellfish, egg whites, low fat dairy products and lean red meats. If you are not already doing so, incorporate as many of these foods into your diet as possible and cut out as much fat as you can.

Keeping your body healthy with diet, water and exercise is going to give you the best opportunity to achieve your goal of increasing your bust size with natural breast enhancement and create the necessary environment for healthy cell growth.

Breast Enlargement Herbs As An Alternative To Implant Surgery

 

With the steep costs and long post-op recovery involved in breast implant surgeries, more women are looking for different alternatives, such as breast enhancing herbs to increase their breast size that won’t hurt their bodies as well as their pocketbooks.

A growing trend shows that women are seeking less evasive and costly options for enhancing their breast size.

A more organic method than surgery that is attracting women are to use herbs that naturally promote breast enlargement.  Pueraria Mirifica is a product which encompasses many natural breast enhancing herbs, that has been growing in popularity thanks to this growing trend of women not willing to go under the knife to increase their breast size, but instead choosing an alternate treatment.

The average cost of breast implant surgery is about $4000 to $6000. With such a high priced cost of surgery, its no wonder why many women have been thinking twice before they just routinely spend that kind of money on elective surgery.

Also, the long and painful post-op recovery is another reason that’s causing many women to hesitate about making this kind of decision. Some women recover better than others, but on average, there is a 2 week recovery period where a lot of soreness and pain is felt by most women.

This is something that Pueraria Mirifica user, Paula Jiminez was very concerned about: “I just didn’t want to spend that kind of money. I just couldn’t afford it. Plus, I had a friend who had breast implant surgery, and she was in a lot of pain after surgery, so it just wasn’t worth it to me. I’m glad I was able to find something easy and simple.”  Especially if you are shy.  You don’t want everyone knowing that you’ve had an implant procedure now do you?

The use of herbs such as pueraria mirifica, have natural phytoestrogens which not only help stimulate breast growth, but also adds firmness to the breasts over time and with consistent use. These herbs have been used by humans for thousands of years.  Pueraria Mirifica especially is renown for this as it’s molecular structure is just one atom off of estrogen.

Products such as Pueraria Mirifica  uses a formula to encapsulate many of the natural herbs that have been traditionally used to enhance a women’s bust size into one supplemental form. Women can use a pill which can be swallowed orally, or if they prefer, a cream that can be rubbed directly onto the breasts every night and day.  By combining both, you will achieve the fastest results possible.  Don’t forget the power of a proper breast massage!

Pueraria Mirifica Shop  is a site which shows the experiences that  women and men have  when using the product, and can provide a necessary template from which to follow.

Thanks to our friends over at Cracked.com we bring you this hilariously written piece about 5 Breast Related Products that you never knew existed!!!

While it is very funny, we though it was appropriate to feature this article from July 31, 2014 since we made the list!

 

Half of the world’s population has boobs. The vast majority of the other half spends way too much time pretending they’re not surreptitiously trying to ogle said boobs. With such a staggering approval rate, it’s only natural that these biological Orbs of Power have sprouted a whole industry around them.

The thing is, it’s not necessarily a sane industry. As I’ve mentioned before, some of the breast-related products out there have less to do with functionality and more to do with howling must-make-a-thing-for-titties insanity.

#5. Emergency Bra

Via Emergency Bra

What … what is the lady in the above picture doing? I get that she’s wearing some sort of face bra harness, and I’m not trying to make fun of her, I’m just genuinely curious. Is she suffering from a rare disease that grows boobs on her face? Is she really, really confused about how bras work? Or did someone, hah, tell her that her bra doubles as a respiratory mask in case of an emergency? Surely we can remove that option from the list right away. It’s not like anyone would make a bra that is actually supposed to be used in an emergen-

Emergency Bra
Well, shit.

Much as it seems like a parody product that some particularly inspired website churned out as an April Fools’ joke, the Emergency Bra is very much a real thing. It can be used as a normal bra, but it can also be fashioned into a serviceable makeshift emergency mask. There’s even a version that has a radiation sensor in case someone busts out a nuke.

Here’s a funny thing: The Emergency Bra is an award-winning product. Granted, the award in question is the 2009 Ig Nobel Prize (think a jokey, slightly less demeaning Science Razzie), but still — surely this means the bra is at least of some use. At the very least, this thing makes sure its user is always kind-of-sort-of ready for the impending disaster.

However, think a little bit further, and certain issues start to present themselves. To simulate how the Emergency Bra is used, go right ahead and try fashioning a bra into a face mask. While wearing it, fully clothed, in public. While sirens blast, and everyone around you is screaming and panicking like they’re being forced to watch a four-hour French art movie without subtitles. Chances are the noxious citywide Taco Bell fart you were attempting to shield against will reach you 10 times over as you struggle with your garments, and the disaster workers will find you locked in awkward clothes bondage not dissimilar to that peculiar back-home-from-the-keg-party state where you try to drunkenly remove all your clothes at once but pass out on the floor halfway through.

Oh, and should the user by some miracle manage to untangle the bra in time to fashion it into a mask, there’s still one hurdle. As brassieres tend to be designed to accommodate two boobs, every Emergency Bra can be broken into two separate masks … one of which you’re supposed to give to the nearest maskless bystander, who will now experience the crisis in question through a fine, musky layer of your terror-sweat.

#4. Boob Glue

Breast taping is one of those gender-specific secrets that most ladies are at least conceptually familiar with, yet guys tend to react to the term with a blank look and a guilty memory of those weird bondage clips they hope no one knows they’re getting way, way too carried away with during work hours.

Ljupco/iStock/Getty Images
We all know what you’re up to, Steve. We all know.

But for some, the art of taming errant boobage with duct tape and other means is not enough. Some people want to have exact creative control over the direction, lift, and, if necessary, geometrical shape of their breasts, dammit!

These people need Boob Glue. Yes, that’s its real name.

Via Bosom Couture
“So can I use it for other stuff, like butt lifting?”

“Boobs and boobs alone, you crazy person!”

On one hand, I kind of enjoy the fact that the makers of this glorified water-soluble spirit gum have the gall to charge $60 for a stick of something called the fucking Boob Glue. On the other, I share the amused bafflement women seem to react to this product with. Why glue? What if the user gets sweaty and the glue dissolves into a sticky mess under the boobs? What if she’s about to get sweaty, and her partner, upon gently placing their hand upon the sticky surface of her breast, winds up thinking they’ve mysteriously gained boob-related Spider-Man powers?

Pixland/Pixland/Getty Images
Which, of course, are the best kind of Spider-Man powers.

The questions are endless, and the answers, let’s face it, are probably not worth it, because we’re still talking about a goddamned glue they’re selling specifically for boob Play-Dohing. Still, on the off chance that you’re interested in trying the product, I’ve compiled a handy guide on how to use Boob Glue:

1) You smear it on your breasts.

2) You collapse into a heap of existential crisis because you’re now the kind of person who slathers glue all over their chest in the name of beauty.

3) You scream and scream and scream.

#3. Pueraria Mirifica

George Doyle/Stockbyte/Getty Images

A little while ago, I bumped into a product called the F-Cup Cookie, a dessert snack that is supposed to make breasts bigger if consumed regularly. While the idea of breast-growing cakes seemed absurd, it at least had a modicum of logic in a “shove tons of Boob Twinkies in your mouth and you shall grow large and squishy” kind of way.

Boob-growing bubble gum, on the other hand, sounds like something a cartoon conman would be selling to impossibly gullible strippers.

Via Getbustupgum.com
All trustworthy medication comes with colorful promotional tank tops.

Bust Up Gum is a pretty big hit in Japan, because come on, did you really expect it would come from anywhere else? Its supposed nigh-magical ability to enhance the size, shape, and tone of the breasts is attributed to an extract from a plant called Pueraria mirifica, which also features heavily in the Boob Twinkie’s recipe. But wait! There’s more: In addition to showering the user with herbally enhanced superbreasts, Bust Up Gum claims to provide all sorts of other effects, ranging from stress relief, weight loss, and improved circulation to “increased vaginal secretion,” a condition that the user presumably gets to enjoy pretty much nonstop, because Bust Up Gum needs to be taken roughly four times a day.

“Game on, Knicks.”

Here’s the good news: Pueraria mirifica extract contains natural phytoestrogens, which basically mimic estrogen and as such can actually cause the effects the product boasts.  By taking Pure Pueraria Mirifica capsules 4 times per day on an empty stomach, women will achieve breast enlargement of one to two cup sizes.  The downside is that it can take a few months and you must be militant about taking your supplements to get this level of results.

While you may not be able to get bigger boobs by chewing gum or eating cake, Pueraria Mirifica Shop offers affordable and easy packs with pills, cream and serum to get your breasts off to their breast, er uh, best start.

Even if that doesn’t turn you away, the product is still next to useless: Whatever effects phytoestrogens may or may not be capable of having on your body can easily be achieved by simply eating soy products.

#2. Solar Bra

Junko Kimura/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images

Solar bra. Solar. Bra. It sounds like an environmentally friendly update of some horrifying fictional 1950s underwear technology (fossil fuel jockstrap? nuclear panties?) dreamed up by a vegan sci-fi writer who subsists solely on soy latte and scathing critique of all books that have the word “meat” in them.

Look, solar power absolutely is a fine and worthy thing with tons and tons of potential. It has sparked many a heated discussion and loads of inspired, potentially world-saving plans. However, there are some things current solar panel technology just flat out can’t do, such as:

- Your taxes

- Make a proper quiche

- Single-handedly solve the global energy crisis in a cost-efficient fashion

- Get into anti-environmentalists’ good graces

- Boobs

Lingerie company Triumph International Japan Ltd. chose to ignore one of these facts in 2008. As a result, they introduced the Solar Power Bra to the unwary world. Technically, the contraption is less “bra” and more “creepy bustier constructed from funky motel towels and weird Mad Max ab armor,” but we’ll let it slide — if I had to market this thing somehow, I’d probably go with the former name, too.

Junko Kimura/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Comfy!

The catch of the Solar Bra is that you can use the power it generates to “handily” charge your phone, which entirely ignores the fact that there are precious few places in the world where a lady can comfortably turn herself into a sun-charged lingerie power plant. Really, the only place this thing could safely (though not sanely) be worn in public is the beach.

Oh, the solar panels are extremely vulnerable to moisture, and even slight rain can straight up damage them? Never mind. Still, at least the model who had to parade around wearing this thing can use it to charge her phone for the inevitable heated discussions with her agent.

Junko Kimura/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
“You’re so fucking fired, Steve.”

Introduced as part of their “green” product line, it’s hard to say how serious Triumph was with this thing. I mean, it’s pretty obviously meant to be a wacky concept, but something about how their representative took the “It’s, uh, just a model. Yeah, a concept model, a bit of a joke on our end, ha ha, wouldn’t put anything like this on the shelves in a million years” route the second someone lifted an eyebrow does suggest this may have been the pet project of some misinformed higher-up (who presumably spent the rest of the week impotently punching boardroom walls when the public didn’t go apeshit over his grand vision), with less-deranged minds within the company tactically undermining the idea.

#1. Inflatable Implants

Via Trendhunter

Despite their popularity and prevalence, breast implants have a mixed reputation. Most guys seem to insist they prefer natural breasts, yet the rampant big boob fantasies our culture constantly churns on our faces argue otherwise. Implants and augmentation are seen as senseless vanity surgery, yet they also serve an important function fixing actual ailment-induced damage and very real disfigurement, as well as providing a huge self-esteem boost for people with body image issues. Shit be complicated, is what I’m saying.

Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
If only there was a way to draw attention to this complex issue.

As such, if you came into this entry thinking I’d be riffing on the concept of breast implants, well, I have no intention of doing that. As far as I’m concerned, everyone can do whatever the hell they want with their bodies. However, I am saying that any plastic surgery operation — including breast augmentation — is something that should be carefully considered over time, so that you’re 100 percent certain of the possibly drastic bodily change you’re about to experience. Boobs are not shoes; no one should get themselves a fancy pair and change them a week later because you’d like a more impressive pair.

Then again, the people who came up with inflatable breast implants clearly disagree with me.

In the above video, a plastic surgeon made entirely out of hair explains how the SPECTRUM adjustable breast implant works: Once the implant is inserted, the doctors can freely adjust its size for a full six months post-surgery. This is possible because the boobs have valves that enable your doctor to fill ‘em up with more saline (or deplete them from excess filling, which is something I suspect happens precisely fucking never).

I’m actually not against this product, per se. I’m sure it has saved at least one indecisive soul from the surgery table. I’m more worried about what it says about where we as a culture are heading, chest wise: When someone comes up with a way to literally change your cup size within minutes like they were pumping air in a beach ball, all bets are off. We’re officially not a culture obsessed with boobs anymore. Culture’s over, people, boobs have won. We’ve given them the ability to change size at will, which means they’re maybe two steps away from detaching themselves from their hosts and taking over. Thanks to the hairy surgeon dude and his adjustable breast implant, we’re standing on the brink of Boobocalypse.

Or, you know, maybe I’m just talking out of my ass. Maybe this is the best invention in the history of boobs. Hell, maybe they’ll one day figure out how to fill these super-implants with different substances, granting their owner different boob-based superpowers whenever she so desires.

If that’s how it’s going to be, fuck it — I’m getting a boob job.

Break Free - Ruby Rose

Although Pueraria Mirifica for breast enhancement is used widely by women who want bigger breasts, there is a growing number of men who are using this strain of Pueraria Mirifica to enhance their breast size as well.

Many of our clients identify themselves proudly as male to female transgender.  Beginning with Thailand’s massive “lady boy” following, we felt as though we should share this inspirational video for all genders.

If you haven’t heard of her already, Australian MTV’s Ruby Rose has burst into the limelight with her groundbreaking video “Break Free“.  This powerful and moving short music video highlights the shedding of her absolutely stunning female shell and reveals an equally attractive male figure that has been trapped within.

This film stirs feelings deep within people of all sexual orientations.  Most people have or still do live daily feeling as though they are not living up to their true potential or being true to themselves.  This is an inspirational video for all.

The video, which includes images of Rose cutting off long, blond hair, removing her make-up, binding her breasts with ACE bandages, and revealing a phallic prosthetic, has been making waves, nearing one million views thus far.

The popular entertainer, who rose to fame for her stint on Australian MTV and highly recognizable tattoos, discussed identifying as both male and female (though she prefers to continue using female pronouns) recently with the Guardian.

Joining other inspiring models — including Andreja Pejic, who came out as a transgender woman earlier this month — Australian model and DJ Ruby Rose has come out as gender fluid. She also identifies as gender-neutral, according to AU News.

Her openness accompanies the release of her short film, “Break Free,” which she describes as a video “about gender roles, Trans, and what it is like to have an identity that deviates from the status quo.” In the Guardian interview, she adds that filming it was “really intended to be therapeutic for myself.”

“Obviously it’s very autobiographical. As a little kid, I was convinced that I was a guy. I used to bind with ACE bandages, which is really, really bad for you … I used to pray to God I wouldn’t get breasts,” she continued. “Then in my teens, I tried to be quite feminine. … And after a little bit [I] chopped everything off and am kind of back where I started.”

Hormone Replacement Therapy and Pueraria Mirifica

In an interview with Dr. Garry Gordon and his colleague Dr. Sandy Schwartz called The Secret of Pueraria Mirifica Root, we are given a glimpse into the world of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).

This among other benefits of Pueraria Mirifica such as the engorgement of breasts, similar to that of a pregnant woman, and it’s anti-aging properties, the research gathered by Dr.’s Gordon and Schwartz is promising in the field of natural HRT.

A lot of women are looking for instant relief from hot flashes and they want to sleep better tomorrow night.  This is why Dr. Gordon sought out a natural solution as most of the pharmaceutical options for HRT need to accumulate in your system before taking effect.

When we look at the findings that were found in Northern Thailand, it is noted that a single compound, Pueraria Mirifica, is able to bind on the estrogen receptors that are in the brain, prostate bone and breasts.  Therefore protecting those sites against outside influence of toxic substances which are called, estrogen mimics.  If everyone can sweat more, exercise more, get out and eat more organically, we can all live healthier lives and with Pueraria binding to our receptors, it is more possible than ever before to live longer, healthier lives.

It is a proven fact that estrogen supplements from pharmaceutical plants have extensive side effects including increased risk of breast cancer.  There are also superfluous toxins released into the blood stream that bind to these receptors, causing women to get relief from the various symptoms of menopause, but also to essentially put other aspects of their health at risk.

What if there was a way to treat the symptoms of menopause without the side effects?  This is exactly what Dr. Gordon wants to find out.

Dr. Schwartz moved to Thailand to study why there was such a low report of men who did not have to urinate during the middle of the night, and women did not suffer such extreme symptoms during menopause.  On a whole, the entire population is healthier into the twilight years than those living in the Western world.  What she found was simple.  Aside from an incredibly vitamin rich diet coming from plants and fruits, and being active; these people had discovered a gourd that mimics estrogen.  What is more is that the chemical makeup of this mysterious fruit actually binds to the receptors in the human body in a way that manufactured chemicals never can.

This phenomenon is called, bio-identical hormone replacement therapy.  These are safe forms of estrogen that are very similar to estriol which is widely renown as a form of estrogen support for women with menopause.  However, Pueraria Mirifica is only one atom different than estriol.  Since Dr.’s Schwartz and Gordon are in search of allowing people to live to be 90 years old and still have strong bones and soft arteries, they decided to advocate Pueraria because it is a non-prescriptive way around the current problem that the United States is having with the FDA that makes it difficult for doctors to acquire bio-identical hormones stronger than what you get from black cohosh and red clover in addition to some forms of soy.

The reason pueraria mirifica is more effective than black cohosh is that it is binding to the receptor site at approximately 1,000 times more than that of black cohosh.  It has the ability to fit right on the receptor site and this is what makes it unique.  Infact, it is virtually identical to the estriol that your body has been used to all of it’s life.

It is a proven fact that estrogen supplements from pharmaceutical plants have extensive side effects including increased risk of breast cancer.  There are also superfluous toxins released into the blood stream that bind to these receptors, causing women to get relief from the various symptoms of menopause, but also to essentially put other aspects of their health at risk.

After taking Pueraria Mirifica for one year, Dr. Schwartz went to have her hormone tests done.  her osteopenia and hot flashes were gone; plus her hormones were showing up as balanced.  Her memory is as good as ever in her field she is still functioning on a highly technical level in her field.  The supplement was a mixture of Pueraria Mirifica and vitamin B-12.

Vaginal dryness is a symptom that is reported frequently with menopause and is probably the most uncomfortable.  Dr. Schwartz identifies that there are many topical creams that can be used with Pueraria Mirifia to alleviate these symptoms, however the most effective way to increase vaginal moisture with this herb is to take orally for at least 60 days (two months) at which time you will manifest all of the effects you want.  Less hot flashes, improved memory, returned vaginal moisture and no painful intercourse.

The question everyone wants to know is how Pueraria Mirifica affects the breasts.

Does Pueraria Mirifica enlarge the breasts?

Yes, but it is similar to the engorgement that happens during pregnancy.

Will taking Pueraria Mirifica pills help your breasts grow?

Your breasts will not grow, however they will become full with blood and fluid in your body just as your breasts would fill up if you were pregnant.

How large can you expect your breasts to grow while taking Pueraria Mirifica?

Your breasts will become full and enlarged up to 1-1.5 cup sizes with continued use of Pueraria Mirifica

How long will it take in order for the pills to start taking effect?

On average, you will start to see your breasts become tight and full within 45 days of taking the recommended dosage of Pueraria Mirifica.  These results can be dramatically faster if using in conjunction with a topical cream or gel serum.

Most people thing that taking supplements is something that will cure them overnight, and while they are effective, that doesn’t mean you can stop taking them once you see the results.  Achieving larger, more voluptuous breasts this way is a safe and natural alternative that will give you the pseudo-pregnancy look with your breasts.  You can expect to have these effects last long after taking Pueraria Mirifica so it is advised that after taking for six consecutive months that you go off of the supplement for 30 days before starting your next six month cycle.

Pregnant women and women under the age of 18 should consider stopping their consumption of Pueraria Mirifica since their bodies are going through changes during this time that could be affected by the Pueraria Mirifca oral supplement.

5 Steps to Bigger Boobs

You want bigger boobs; who doesn’t?  Well, you already know that Pueraria Mirifica is the most phytoestrogen rich of all of it’s natural herbal breast enlarging relatives. What if we told you that you could increase the potency of your Pueraria Mirifica pills, creams and serums in 5 easy steps?

Yes, you heard us correctly . . . Pueraria Mirifica has more phytoestrogens, or xenoestrogens, than any of these estrogen mimicking plant based nutrients:

• Soybeans


• Tempeh


• Fenugreek


• Wheatberries


• Wild Yam


• Saw Palmetto


• Chasteberry


• Thyme


• Verbena


• Mung Beans


• Licorice Root


• Black Cohosh


• Hops


• Fennel


• Anise


• Flax Seed


• Red Clover

But as we just talked about, you; being the smart cookie that you are, already knew all of that!  So now, here are 5 steps you can take to getting the larger breasts that you have always wanted.  The first unspoken step is obviously to take the recommended dosage of Pueraria Mirifica pills and applying the creams and serums infused with Pueraria extracts as directed . . .

Step 1  Increase Your Calcium Intake

When taking your first pill in the morning, always take it on an empty stomach and with calcium rich milk.  You can take your daily vitamin supplement as usual, but ensuring that you add the calcium to the Pueraria Mirifica will ensure that your body will absorb it all completely.  Calcium bonds to the Pueraria extract allowing your body to break it down and distribute it through your body more effectively.  Without calcium, your body will expel a large portion of the contents of your pill.  (Can’t drink milk?  Try almond or soy milk fortified with calcium.)

Step 2 Skip the Caffeine

You may already be aware of this, but the worst thing you can do to your beautiful, natural breasts is consume too much caffeine!  To be honest, caffeine is your breast’s nemesis.  Coffee, energy drinks, dark chocolate and teas may be delicious and provide a nice buzz to help get you going in the morning or during an afternoon crash, but they will also cause your breasts to be overstimulated and close themselves off to the rejuvenating properties of the Pueraria Mirifica.

Step 3 Massage Your Breasts

Aside from stimulating blood flow to your breasts and improving your chest circulation; massaging your breasts should be an intimate and sometimes exciting ritual with yourself.  Your decolletage, the thinnest part of skin on your body, which is located directly surrounding your breasts will also benefit from this daily exercise.  By drawing blood into this area, you are encouraging your estrogen receptors to open up to your supplements.

Watch this video on how to properly massage your breasts to increase their size.

Step 4 Use a Topical Breast Enlarging Cream or Serum

While taking Pueraria Mirifica pills will undoubtedly give you the larger, more firm, lifted breasts that you want; your efforts can be minimized by complimenting your supplement regiment with a topical solution.  Using a high quality pure Pueraria extract serum, cream or gel will not only moisturize your delicate skin, but it will distribute Pueraria Mirifica directly to the area you desire to get it to.  Anyone who has ever used serums and creams in a daily routine to firm sagging, wrinkly skin on their face can tell you how topical solutions DO work, but they take time for you to notice the difference.

Step 5 Try a Detox Program

Your food, water and the air you breathe all contain toxins.  More often than not, you are also ingesting hormone laden proteins on a daily basis.  Your hormone receptor zones are overloaded!  It is highly advised that you take some time off of eating meat, drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes and any other recreational activity that will cause your body to hold on to harmful toxins in your blood stream.  Incorporate more vegetables, fruits and juices (all raw of course).  Starting Pueraria Mirifica on a clean slate means that your body will not be busy processing and removing toxins from your bloodstream and that it will be able to accept it with open arms.  Doesn’t that sound nice?  Not able to detox?  No worries, just do the best you can and cut out the things that are easy for you at least one week prior to your program.

After Dark: Meet NYC’s Ryan Burke, Artist And Nightlife Personality

 

This is the second installment in HuffPost Gay Voices Associate Editor James Nichols‘ ongoing series “After Dark: NYC Nightlife Today And Days Past” that examines the state of New York nightlife in the modern day, as well as the development and production of nightlife over the past several decades. Each featured individual in this series currently serves as a prominent person in the New York nightlife community or has made important contributions in the past that have sustained long-lasting impacts.

HuffPost Gay Voices believes that it is important and valuable to elevate the work, both today and in the past, of those engaged in the New York nightlife community, especially in an age where queer history seems to be increasingly forgotten. Nightlife not only creates spaces for queers and other marginalized groups to be artistically and authentically celebrated, but the work of those involved in nightlife creates and shapes the future of our culture as a whole. Visit Gay Voices regularly to learn not only about individuals currently making an impact in nightlife, but those whose legacy has previously contributed to the ways we understand queerness, art, identity and human experience today.

The Huffington Post: What did you journey to becoming a fixture in the New York nightlife scene entail? How did you get to this point?
Ryan Burke: My journey began in Los Angeles. I started dressing up to go to L.A. parties Mr. Black, Rhonda and Mustache Mondays with my friends. After a couple of years of this I started hosting “Mr. Black” with my boyfriend at the time, Oscar Ambrosio, who did looks with me multiple nights a week. We were just doing it for fun and I started photographing us and our friends as a way of documenting our lives. When I moved to New York almost two years ago I intended to leave nightlife behind and focus solely on photography, but once here I realized that all the people I knew through Facebook were involved in nightlife or went out pretty often. I saw it as a way to network and make new friends and connections. I began going out to On Top, Wolf Party, Vandam and other parties and I continued to document my looks. I was consistently out and started to get to know many of the people in the scene.

I met designer Domonique Echeverria at “Vandam” one night and we hit it off so I started visiting her and getting closer to her. By the next summer when “On Top” was starting again she suggested I become a host for opening night. Susanne Bartsch hired me and I put my most elaborate look yet together for the opening night. I created a headpiece out of pearls and feathers and my roommate, La Rosa, made a custom gown for me. Domonique and I moved in together soon after and I continued to host off and on the rest of the summer and brought looks inspired by Dovima’s aesthetic — long gowns, big hats or headpieces and an air of elegance. I wore several gowns created by Domonique and shot her looks as well, which started to establish us as a creative team. Since the summer I’ve continued to be a consistent part of nightlife despite the fact that I don’t typically host. I go to a lot of Susanne’s events and Domonique hosts many of them as well.

What kind of work do you tend to produce? How would you say nightlife influences or informs your art?

I still consider myself a photographer first. I find inspiration in everything but usually it is the abstract nature of things that inspires me. I don’t really care for glasses even though my eyesight isn’t great so I see the world in a kind of soft blur of color. Anything can become a reference for a look and I just build off of small and abstract shapes.

Nightlife is a huge influence on me and the art I produce. The whole idea that you can change your appearance and become something else was demonstrated to me by the nightlife community, who also encouraged my own exploration of ideas. Nightlife has motivated and supported my development. The people I’ve met have inspired me and many have influenced and changed my perspective of the world, gender identity and personal style. I hope to inspire and motivate others by what I do in the same way. But what I encourage isn’t becoming a nightlife socialite — it’s becoming a person who is free to express themselves in whatever way makes them feel the most amazing and comfortable. It doesn’t have to be restricted to just clubs, but clubs are a wonderful place to start and be inspired.

Nightlife has historically been a place for queers and other marginalized groups to subversively create art and build community. As queer identity becomes increasingly mainstreamed, what role do you see nightlife playing in the future of the queer community?

Nightlife has certainly evolved from the days of Stonewall when queer culture was not accepted. Gay people used to have to be very smart and clever in order to survive. Expressing yourself was not easy. Just being yourself was not easy. These days I see gay people becoming stupid on purpose and obsessed with pop culture and there are more and more clubs catering to this sort of crowd. Even drag is becoming mainstream — every other gay person does drag and posts videos of themselves lip-syncing on Instagram. I see nightlife becoming less about underground art and music and more about commercialism. A lot of artists have pulled out of the scene entirely and many are less present than they used to be. While there are still talented drag queens, club personalities and DJs out there, it is becoming a needle in a haystack situation. Many artists I know, myself included, see nightlife as a way to get noticed at first but not a place to stay for long.

How do you see what is happening now in New York nightlife as building on a historical legacy of artists, performers, musicians and personalities over the past decades?

Historically, the New York nightlife scene has been a stepping stone for many well-known artists in a variety of mediums. While the cost of living and increase in commercialism is making it harder for artists to survive and thrive in this city, I still see an artistic community full of very talented people. I think we are on an upswing right now and I see more and more of a collaboration between artists across the city — and I see many of them come in and out of nightlife.

The one major difference between current nightlife and that of decades past is the crackdown on excessive drug use and increase on security and restrictions. While this does create a safer environment to party in it also makes it less of a party atmosphere. People like to go out to get a release from everyday life — and in New York this is especially necessary. I personally have never been much of a drug user but I don’t care for the presence of security and people watching your every move. This controlled environment is less inviting and many people don’t get out and express themselves the way that they used to. Again, the other deterring factor, of course, is the cost of living. Many people I know live in Brooklyn or Queens now and the commute into the city can be difficult, especially in the winter. That said, there are and always will be those who do it because it’s part of their nature. These are the people I relate to and am encouraged and inspired by.

What is the most important thing you see coming out of the way nightlife has shifted and developed into what it is today?

I see driven artists banding together and creating work outside of nightlife. They go out, have some fun, meet people, but work really hard in the meantime to develop their careers because they know that nightlife isn’t lucrative. Some performers, hosts and promoters can support themselves with nightlife but most of us can’t afford to put together looks for fun or even for the small amount we get paid. We do it because we really love it — but it’s not easy these days.

During his feature, which ran earlier this series, original Club Kid Michael Alig told HuffPost: “It seems like nightlife hasn’t really evolved in the past 15 years. I have a whole theory about that. My theory is that we are witnessing the end of our Western cultural dominance in the world and that we’ve gone as far as we can with our Western lifestyle as far as decadence, fashion, style, stuff like that. We’ve done every kind of fashion imaginable from miniskirts to maxi skirts, from peg leg pants to bell-bottoms, from black lipstick to glossy lipstick –everywhere in-between. The only things we can do right now are kind of different variations of the same model and we’ve even done that already. “ — How do you respond to this? Do you agree with him?

I’m no expert on the history and development of nightlife so I can only offer my observation from my own experience. Michael is right in that we have explored every aspect of Western cultural dominance in the world — but I don’t see that as an end to innovative ideas. Everyone has their own reason for dressing up and being part of it. I do it because it’s an innate part of me as a person. I’ve loved dressing up my entire life. Even when I started dressing up to go out, I did it before seeing “Party Monster” or knowing what Club Kids are. Because of this, I don’t draw upon their aesthetic very much. What I do has more of an organic feel to it and I draw my ideas from nature and abstraction.

My creative partner and friend Domonique is a designer and is part of nightlife as a way of exposing others to her designs and fashion ideas. She loves to combine elements from several cultures and eras to create looks that are both familiar and innovative at the same time. While nightlife has always been about freedom of expression and a release from the mundane, I feel that it has evolved in a sense that… it’s not about shocking people or being political, it’s about creating an environment where artists are free to express their ideas, perform, design, entertain and collaborate with each other. There is plenty of room for new ideas, as well as reinterpretation of what’s been done in new ways.

Michael Alig talked a bit about “subverting the establishment” and nightlife in political terms throughout his interview. Nightlife, for you, has never been about being political?

Nightlife, for me, has never been political. I don’t believe that when Club Kids are dressing up and doing drugs it’s about anything other than having fun. It’s just a party. For me, it’s a way of expressing my aesthetic and experimenting with the many ways that I can alter my appearance. Granted, it is definitely easier now than it was a few decades ago. People are more open-minded and that is partly a result of being exposed to this kind of self-expression.

I have been around a lot of club personalities in LA and New York by this point and I would have to say that very few — if any — are doing what they do to subvert the establishment or be political. We all support equality and freedom of expression, of course, and nobody wants to be controlled and monitored by the government, but I find that the majority of club personalities do what they do simply because they love it. They love showing off their ideas, their fashion, their makeup, their music, their outrageous personalities and being around people who appreciate them and understand where they are coming from. I don’t believe that nightlife has the potential to have much of an impact on politics. I think it is more about creating a breeding ground for artistic minds and giving them a group of like-minded peers that they can network and work with if they choose to do so. Otherwise, it’s just a way to escape and have fun.

What projects are you currently working on?

I’m working on a big gallery show in Chelsea on the 26th of June which Susanne Bartsch is putting together. The event is called “bARTsch” and is two doors down from the Chelsea Hotel. I will have three new series of self-portraits which have never been seen and aren’t nightlife-related. There will also be a performance piece with choreographer Olga Dobrowolska with an interactive gown designed by Domonique Echeverria. I’m also working on my looks with Domonique for the Life Ball in Vienna. We will be walking the red carpet and closing the ceremony with David LaChapelle and Carmen Carrera. I’m working on an editorial for a spanish magazine Dromenon, two editorials for Revelation magazine, two personal editorials which I will shop around to different magazines and many other smaller projects. My hope is to produce as much work as possible this year so that I can find an agent.

What do you see as the future of nightlife in New York City?

Nightlife seems to be heading in a direction where groups are mixing with each other. I see more clubs with a mix of gay, straight, Club Kids, drag queens, race, class, age, etc. There will always be clubs geared toward a particular crowd, but even those always have at least a few outliers who wouldn’t normally be associated with that particular scene. This allows for better exposure to all types of people — which is a wonderful thing. As far as Club Kid nightlife goes, I think it will always exist but it won’t be so exclusive or underground. People dress up just because it happens to be their personal style — not because they are going to a particular type of party and only seeing people just like them.
